They are not dead,they have but passed Beyond the mists that blind us here Into the newer and larger life
Of that sereter sphere.
They have but dropped their robe of clay To put their shining ramenton. They have but wandered far away,
They are not lost but gone.
Though disenthralled and glorified They still are here and love us yet, The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.

MR. CLEVELAND NOT IN IT.
the President Will Soon Make Known That He Is Not a Candidate For P.eElectiou—The President Willing That
His Secretary of tlie Treasury Should Succeed lliin in Otiiee. WASHINGTON, March 17.—Secretary
Carlisle is candidate for the presidential nomination at Chicago and a public announcement to that eil'cct will soon be made by one of the secretary's close frieiuis in the senate. This announcement, however, will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated his purpose not to permit his name to be used in the convention in connection with a third term. It is leurne on excellent authority that the preside it has fully decided upon this course, audit is expected that he will make known his determination within a short time. Although Secretary Olney's name has been eo'isiv.ered with favor by Democratic leauers, it is known that he does not desire the nomination.
It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Carlis" 's candidacy will have the support o- Mr. Cleveland ami the numbers of the cabinet. He will go before the convention as the representative of the "sound money" views of the administration. His friends in conducting the canvass for Mr. Carlisle's nomination, will nrco that it he maue on the sound money platform, and if lie be successful at Chicago, will then make his issue prominent in the campaign leading up to tlie November elections.
Representative Patterson of Tennessee has received from Secretary Carlisle the ilowiiif? letter in response to exSneaker Crisp's declaration that silver had received uniriciiuly treatment at the secretary's hands.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SKCRETARY, WASHINGTON, Ma c!i 16
Hon. Josiah Pa.terson, House of Repre senhitives: MY DEAR SIR—Your favor of Feb. 17 was duly received and ought to have been answered at once, but the pressu of official business has compelled me to delay a response until now. You state that in a Fpecch delivered by Hon. Charles F. Crisp in the house of representatives, on the 14th day of February, that gentleman said: "He (meaning the secretary of the treasury) refuses io give silver for gold because he must hold the silver to pay the silver certificates aud Sherman notes issued under the act of 1890, and when a Sherman note a-s issued under the act of lS'-M is presented he redeems it in gold anil not in silver. What mockery is this what sort of friendly treatment is accorded silver by this law and the practice that obtains at the treasury of the United States?"
And you ask me to "state fully how you (I) have dealt with the silver currency since your (my) incumbency of the oflice of secretary of the treasury, and whether you (I) have, in dealing with the subject, disci edited silver
In answer to your question I can only say that in all the operations of the treasury department during my administration of its affairs the legal tender gold and silver coins of the United States have been treated precisely alike, except that greater ell'orts have been made to keep silver coin in circulation than have been made to kerp {iold coin in circulation.
The amount paid out by the department in silver coins and silver certificates greatly exceeds the amount paid out in gold coins and gold certificates, and in no instance has the least discrimination been made against silver or its paper representative. In no instances has silver or silver certificates been refused in payment of a debt or demand due the government, and in no instance has the government refused to pay silver coins or silver certificates in discharge of its obligations when the holders of the obligations demanded or requested such payment.
When United States notes or treasury notes are presented for redemption gold is paid if it is demanded, and if silver is demanded silver is paid. Thus the coins of the two metals are treated exactly alike in making payments by the government, as well as in the discharge of debts due to the government. It has always been the policy of the treasury department to encourage the use of silver to the largest possible extent, and in order to accomplish this, standard silver dollars will bo sent by express, at the expense of the government, to any one who will deposit an equivalent amount in silver certificates or in treasury notes of 1890 with the United States treasurer or any assistant treasurer, or with a national bank depository, and subsidiary silver coins will be sent by express at the expense of the government to any one who will deposit with such officers or banks any kinds of United States currency or national bank notes but gold is not sent to anybody free of charge. iu August, 1S93, there was a great and unusual demand in nearly every part of the country for currency of small denominations, and in its attempts to supply this demand the treasury department paid out, in defraying the expenses of the government ami in exchange for other forms of currency all the silver that could bo lawfully used for theso purposes, so that for a short period it was compelled to suspend payment in standard silver dollars, except in the redemption of silver certificates and treasury notes of 1890. The law authorizing the issue of silver certificates upon deposits of silver provides that "the coin deposited for, or representing the certificates, sh.tll ye retained in the treasury for the payment of the same on demand.
It is therefore plain that whenever the amount of silver dollars in tho treasury does not exceed the amount of silver certificates outstanding, the secretary of the treasury can not, without a violation of law, pay out such silver except for the redemption of certificates. At such times he has no more right to exchange silver dollars for gold than he has to pay them out in any other manner. But there is also another fund in the treasury vyhich is required by law to be held for a different purpose. It consists of the bullion and the standard silver dollars coined

silver dollars coined therefrom, then held in the treasury purchased by such notes." Under this provision the secretary is required to keep in the treasury at all times an amount of silver bullion, at its cost price, and in standard silver dollars coined from the purchased bullion exactly equal to the amount of treasury notes outstanding, aud he can not, therefore, lawfully use such standard silver dollars except for the redemption and cancellation of treasury notes.
My letter to the United States senate, upon which Mr. Crisp's statement seems to have been based, was written on the 17th day of August, 1893, and at that time there was no free silver in the treasury that is, l\ere were no standard silver dollars in the treasury except such as the law required to be held for the redemption of silver certificates and the treasury notes of 1890, and these redemptions were made
1
at all times during the month aud every other month when these certificates of currency were presented. During the month of August, 1S93, treasury notes to the amount of $i,273,2b7 were redeemed in silver aud cancelled, and since the 1st day of August, 1893, the total amount of such notes redeemed in silver is $19,533,722. Prior to my administration of the affairs of the department none of these notes had been redeemed in silver or cancelled.
Since the beginning of this administration nearly $110,000,000 in gold has been procured in exchange for other forms of currency. Of this amount $8,915,812 has been procured in exchange for silver coin, and $10,329,330 iu exchange for silver certificates. The department has never refused to exchange silver for gold wlien it had silver that could be lawfully used for that purpose, and if it had so refused I am wholly unable to see how it could be considered a discrimination against silver. Is a refusal to pay out gold in exchange for silver a discrimination against gold If not, it of course follows that a refusal to pay out silver for gold is not a discrimination against silver. 4
In responso to your verbal inquiry concerning the coinage of standard silver dollars during the present administration,1 you are advised that it amounts to the sum of $6,762,000 up to the 16ch day of this month, while the whole amount of such dollars coined in this country from the establiohmeut of the mint in 1792 up to February, 1878, a period of 86 years, was $8,030,000.
