PANACEA Congressman Dewitt, of Ohia, hasa Finance Measure, Washington, D. C., Dec. 18 —-Cone gressman Dewiit of Ohio has pre- pared a bill which he predicts will solve the silver problem and main- tain the gold and silver for all time. He has devoted 14 months to the study of the silver question and has submitted his bill to several Sena tors and members, who are students of finance. They dow’t all approve but he will push it just the same. It provides, first, “that all mints shall admit silver bullion for coinage upon the surrender by the owner of the difference between the market price of the bullion and its face val- ue when coined. “Second, that the Secretary of the Treasury shall set apart 2,000,000 ounces of silver bullion to be creased. “Third, that the bullion surren- dered under the first provision of the act shall be held in trust by the Tressury and be known as primary silver reserve fund. “Fourth, that on the first Mon day of each month the Secretary of the Treasury shall transfer from the de may be necessary to make all coins primary reserve fund shall be equal in bullion value to the face value of all silver coins made under this act.” Dewitt is elated over his proposi- tion,and wants to be on the Coinage iM }and means of the depletion of gov- FINANCE THE SUBJECT. r.

C., Dee. 20.—} Presid-nt Cleveland late this after noon sent tbe following special mes- | | | x immediate} f of the finan- Bage to Corn res:, urgit legislation for the rele cial situation. To the Corgiess In my !=8 «nonsi messagh the evils of our present tinancial system were plainly pointed out aud the causes ernment gold were explained. It was therein stated that after all the efforts that had been made by the executive branch of the govern- ment to protect our gold reserve by the issuance of bonds amounting to more than $162,000,000, such re- serve then amounted to but little more than $79,000,000; that about $16,000,000 had been withdrawn from such reserve during the month next previous to the date of that message, aud quite large withdraw- als for shipment in the immediate future were predicted. The contin- gency then feared has reached us, and the withdrawal of gold since the communication referred to and others that appear inevitable, threat- en such a depletion ip our govern- ment gold reserve as brings us face to face with the necessity of further action for its protection. This condi- tion is intensified by the prevalence in certain quarters of sudden and unusual apprehension ard timidity in business circles. We are in the midst of another season of perplexity, caused by our dangerous and fatuous financial op rations. These may be expected too recur with certainty as long as there is no amendment in our financial system. If in this particular instance our predicament is at all influenced tions to certain questions concerning our foreign policy, this furnishes a signal and impressive werning that even the patriotic sentiment of our people is not an adequate substitute for a sound financial policy. A NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM NECESSARY. Of course there can be no doubt in any complete solvency of our nation, nor can there be any just apprehension that the American people will be satisfied with less than an honest payment of our public cbligations in the recognized money of the world. We should not overlock the fact, however, that aroused fear is unrea- soning and must be tiken into ac- count in all efforts toavert public loss and the sacrifice of our people’s | interests.

We do not like to see a man sit down on a curbstone and give up. There is always a way out If times are hard now, husband your re sources and keep a stiff upper lip Work harder and let your talk be more hopeful. Men can do much in this way to inspire confidence which is all we lack. Aman can sit on a curbstone or an empty dry goods box and pour out gloom while his wife isat home working to keep everything going and he can’t do a particle of good. Don’t sit around the public places and growl. And when the flow of commerce sets in, remember that the ant, the bee and gropber do not eat all they can in the flush time of the year,but lay by a store for the animal panic of the winter.
