PARTIES AND GOLD.

The New York Tribund continues to dole out to its readers such “food for fools” as this: ' “Three months ago, when President Cleveland came in, business was large in volume and highly prosperous. The outgo of gold, which had begun the very month he was elected, both indicated ano created some apprehension, but the business world was disposed to extend to him generous confidence and support. The editor of the Rensselaer Republican doses out to his readers the above stuff this week, forgetful that for the correctioi. of such falsehoo Is there is nothing so effective as cold facts. And the official statissics show that—1. During President Hairison’s administration the net loss of gold to this country by export was $122,624,000. 2. During the same period the free gold in the Treasury—the amount above th.e $10(1,009.009 reseive—was reduced from $97,874,422 (the sum turned over by President Cleveland March I, 1889), to $987,01).—a pait of the sum borrowed by Secretary Foster to keep good the reserve when he turned over a looted Treisury amt demoralized currency as a Republican legacy to his successor. 3. During President Cleveland’s former term the net gain in gold imports was $54,772,000. Of course such Republican < rgans as the Tribune and Republican will not conce.n themselves about facts and figuresTheir nlan is to presume upon the ignorance or the partisan bigotry of their leasers.
