Under the present law the Government is required to purchase (54,- 000,000) million ounces of silver each year, which is nearly equal to the total out-put of the American mines. The coinage of all the gold aud silver now held in the Treasury would not materially Increase the amount of money in circulation, If at all. At the close of business July 80, 1892, there were in the Treasury $78,823,598.49 in gold bars and SSO,- 479,594.22 in silver bars. These, together with gold and silver coin, are represented in the circulation by $154,800,329 in gold certificates, $331- 809,304 in silver certificates, and $105,586,170 in Treasury Dotes of 1890. If the gold and silver bars were coined and put in circulation, the cer tificates which represent them would have to be taken in. The amount of gold in the Treasury July 30 was $247,306,220.66.

As this covers items and purposes not Included In the appropriations for either year by 51st Congress for the purpose of comparing it to 52nd Congress, this should be added to each year's appropriation to show what its appropriations would have been bad it been required to make the additional appropriations which It has Imposed upon the 52d Con gress and Its successors. When added— First session of 51st will be $573,983,850 Second session of olst will be 620,758,274 Appropriations made by the 52nd (Democratic) Congress at its first session aggregate $507,701,380. This includes the. additional burden of $79,527,602 imposed by its predecessor, the Reed Republican Congress, and which were not met by the Reed Congress. When compared to the first session of 51st Congress, the Democrats made a net saving of $66,282,470. When compared to the second ses sion of the 51st Congress, which was for the year Just preceding, the Democrats made a net saving of $113,056,894 Deduct from total appro priations made by 52nd Congress, the extra appropriations ($79,527,602) made necessary by laws passed by the 61st Congress, and we will see that had the 62nd Congress not been required to meet these appropria tions, the total appropriations would have been at Its first session $428,173,778. This Is less than the appropriations actually made at first session 51st Congress by $66,282,470. It is less than the appropriations made at second session of 51st Congress by $113,056,894. The amount actually appropriated by the 51st Congress at first session is less than that of session of Republican Congress at session Just preceding by $38,529,291. The last session of 51st Congress passed no river aud har bor bill, while in last bill (by Democrats) Is Included for that purpose $21,153,618. The Republican Senate increased the appropriation bill after It passed the House by $32,407,798, and finally the House y’elded to $18,951,466. This Increase, tacked on by a Republican SenaU I*, of course, Included in the above estimates.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, ADOPTED AT CHICAGO, 1892: For home rule and individual liberty and against centralization. Against the Force bill, federal marshals at the polls, federal return ing boards, tiie revival of ruce antagonisms, and the entrenchment of the Republican party in perpetual power. Against profligate expenditure and new burdens of taxation. For tariff for revenue only. Against the Republican tax policy which fosters no Industry so much as that of the sheriff. For wider markets for American goods and against prohibitive taxes which close these markets. Against sham reciprocity, offering the shadow not the substance, of trade. Against trusts and combines. For public lands for actual settlers and against grants to railroads aud alien landlords. Against unnecessary taxation which is unjust taxation. P’or honest dollars of gold and silver, of equal iutrii*io and ex changeable value, and for coinage of both metals without discrimina tion against either and without charge for mintage. For repeal of the ten per cent, gtute Bank tax. For genuine civil service reform sincerely enforced. Against the domination of political conventions by federal office holders. Against bluster toward the weak and humility toward the strong in our foreign relations. For the prohibition of Chinese, pauper and criminal Immigration. For just and liberal pensions, but against extravagant and corrupt pension administration. For improvement of the great waterways of the republlo. For popular education, against interference with religious liberty, aud opposition to meddling with parental prerogative. For territorial self-government. For protection of life and limb of railway employes. Against the sweating system. Against sumptuary legislation.
