T. Miuiinp, Chairman. Secretary. CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING. The Holt oonnty republican cen tral committee is hereby called to meet in O’Neill on Saturday, August 7, 1897, at 2 o’clock p. m., in Ths Fbontub office for the purpose of fixing a date for the county conven tion, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Cltdi Kino, John Skibvino, Secretary. Chairman. Bryan is still talking silver. Thus is more money and less danger in tilling Holt county soil than there ia in going to Klondyke. Why is it that O’Neill silverites want to go to the Klondyke district after gold? Last fall they had no nae for the yellow met&L Wheat ia still climbing and silver is falling. Our populist friends who were telling the people last fall that silver controlled the price of wheat should explain. Fofuusts have made reform their great war cry and many voters have flocked to their standard because thqy thought the leaders of that party were sincere in their declar ations. But what an error! Those who have closely watched the acts and the populist methods of eon ducting the county’s business are s,: satisfied that the cry of reform was need for the purpose of getting con trol of the offices and not from a des}re to benefit the people and will have nothing more to do with that party. Tom them out! Where is the republican who ever attempted to line his own pockets at* the expense of the taxpayers by col lecting or attempting to collect in terest on his salary f None ever did. It was left .for a great and able (?) reformer, the present connty attor ney, to devise this means of enrich ing himself. The populist county attorney is trying to make a record for himself by kicking against every bill hied against the county. But still he had the gall to try and collect inter est on the first three months of his salary because the board did not call a special session for the purpose of allowing his bill. Oreat Reformer! SECRETARY GAOEON CURRENCY Secretary Gage is a conservative man and there has hardly ever been a time when there was greater need for such a man at the head of the financial department of the govern ment. It is understood that in a general way the secretary of the treasury is in sympathy with the demand for a reform of the currency. Before he was publicly named or perhaps thought of in connection with that distinguished position he was known to approve of the cur rency plan of the Indianapolis con ference. He accepted the proposi tion promulgated by that conference that the essential basis of currency reform is the ultimate retirement of all, classes of United States notes and he agreed with the other views expressed by the bankers and busi ness men who met at Indianapolis early in the present year. In short, Mr. Gage was fully identified with the ourrency reformers and was gen-. erally recognized as one of the leaders in that cause. The secretary still believes that the ourrency system needs revision, but he is not among the extremists who think that there can be no con fidence and no recovery of prosper ity until this revision is had. Mr. Gage’s speech to the business men of Boston will be reassuring to all but those who want an immediate overhauling of our currency—the impatient and persistent so-called reformers who can bob nothing but harm in existing financial conditions. What says the experienced financier at the head of the national treasury f “On the financial side there is really no pressing need for haste,’’ he declared. “There is certainly no immediate occasion for anxiety. With ample reserves in the treasury, with financial centers in a full sup ply of loanable funds, with interest invitingly low, with crop prospects most promising and a good market assurred, with new mineral resources coming into view, who dare indulge in doleful forecasts F*. These things must be apparent to all practical men of intelligence. Grant that some changes, in the direction of simplifying and strengthening the eurrenoy system, are desirable, still there is no reason for haste or anx iety. We have had this Bystem for many years, during which the coun try enjoyed the highest degree of prosperity in its history. We have had with it industrial expansion, agricultural growth, increase in domestio and foreign oommeroo and a great augmentation of the nation*! wealth. Why may we not have all this again with this same currency system, if all other conditions to material progress and prosperity are present? *hia paper can heartily endorse the views of Secretary Gage quoted above because they are iu complete accord with what we have repeatedly said, that the anxiety manifested by some for currency reform is needless and that the agitation of the subject at this time can accomplish no good and may do harm. Certainly there is danger of ill effects when men of responsibility in financial and busi ness oireles persistently proclaim distrust of the currency system and constantly declare that there can be no great or permanent improvement in financial and business conditions until the currency is reformed according to their notions. Secre tary Gage will have done a most important service to the country and to the cause ,of reviving prosperity if his sound and conservative utter ances shall silence for a time at least the impatient and for the most part impracticable currency reformers.— Bee.
