BELLEFONTE, PA.,, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1893. The Centre Alemovat, TERMS OF SUBS RIVTION OUR WASHINGTON LETTER} for speedy acti of the obmnoxiol blican chi 1 ana i pu partment, them with democrats, working democrats as bh just ¢ at first intented to do, and admire him mo6re than ever. Reforms in keeping with ideas are being quietly introduced into democratic all of the government departments as fast as their heads have an opportunity to investigate abuses which have grown | up under republican role. Sec retary | Herbert's order that no more naval of- ficers should be granted leave of absence | to enter private employ was followed by Secretary Lamont's determination to stop similar abuses in the army, and not only to refuse to allow it in the future but to revoke the leaves of all those officerz now engaged in other oc- cupations, except those granted by special acts of ongress. Commissioner Lochren finding his place a very hard one to fill, but he is not disappointed; he did not suppose that he was selected to take charge of the Pension Bureau merely to draw a salary. Already a series of rauds, all put through by one pension attorney, located at Norfolk, Va., have been discovered and a force of expert examiners are now engaged in investi. gating every case that this attorney has had anything to do with, the Commis. | sioner being determined to get to the | bottom and to punish the guilty. The worst thing about the crooked work done by this attorney 1s that it was call ed to Commissioner Raum’s attention last year and he declimed to prosecute him, because it might injure the repub. lican party. The amount obtained by these fraudulent pensioners cannot be exactly stated until the examiners have investigation, but it is known that than Bat there is one thing that can be positively stated, and that is that the frauds will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law by Commissioners Lochren, just ns fast as the necessary evidence can be gathered, regardless of who or what may be injured thereby. Judge Lochren has abrogated the notor- jous * ‘completed files” rule, which was made by Raum to please the pension attorney who indorsed his notes for twenty odd thousand dollars soon after he took charge of the Pension Office, ' is already | concluded their already it is £100,000, more wen - ~All kinds of tinware at Culvey- house's store. STEWART ON SILVER. NTATION FTAL'S Cli PRES! WHITE MI an i The Gold Kings ot Ou the money « decline thus procured w conclusive argument a silver as money. It was manifest when the democratic and the reputlican parties united in the | cause of gold contraction and denied to the people making known their wishes polls that the gold trust was the real party which the privilege of at the would triumph by the election of either of the candidates nominated at Minne- More than 1,000. 000 voters protested against such use of apolis and Chicago. the two political parties by that odious trust. The 1epeal of the act of 1500 means the absolute reduction of 87 500,000 000 of gold and basis of circulation and credit 20 years ago, to 83,7000 000 000 of gold. the of It means destruction silver mining: it means the loss of the supply of gold | mines, which | which comes from silver is very large, it being estimated by some | to be fully one-half of the entire output of gold, Previous to 1850 the gold supply came largely from the silver mines, ania and Australia made an exception. But the normal condition of production is fast returning, and the decline of the output of gold would certainly be enor. | mous if silver mining were stopped. The gold coin of the world has not been materially increased since silver was de. monetized. The output has been con. sumed in the for monetary purposes, The consumption in the arts will continue. If the supply of gold from the silver mines is cut off, nonmonetary purposes will rapidly ab. sorb the existing supply of coined gold, The wealth of the owners of gold and gold obligations will advance with the advaneing value of gold, while the prices of property measured by gold will rap arts and other non idly decline. The treasury notes issued in the pur. ehase of 4.500 000 ounces of silver bull jon per month are new money added to the circulation and have been most ben. eficial in furnishing a circulating me. dium.
