While A?ger wa* Secretary of War, it i* said ?hat Secretary ot ihe Treaa ury Ga^e precipitated and inspired mochoftbe criticism oa the condact of Alger'a manasrem^n: of >bc war department, and that i,ow Alder's friend# are deriving a great deal of fun from the attack on Gage and his "pet banks." The Dublic is f*milhr with ths reso lotions introduced |in Congress ciliing for papers 3nd facts in reference to the Treasurer's dealings with ccrtain banks, especially the National City Bank, of New York. The Indianapolis Sentinel gives the circnmsiancee of the sale of the old cn3tom-bou?e in Naw York: "This sale was made uoa>r a special act of Congress, which provided that the Government should continue to ociupy it as a tenant, and pay the purchaser a rental equal to 4 per cent of the purchase price. The ?*'e was for $3,265,000. 'ihe president of the National City Baok, it is said, wmt to "Washington with 54 o.?niSed check for $3,225,350 011 his oit:j bxnk, which \TtiS presented to Secrerarv Gage, and immediately returned by him for deposit in the National City Bank. By tbis pavmsnt of all but $40,000 vt the purchase-money the h ink became the owner of thebuildiug,aud the Government becomes its tenant at $130,000 a vear. The bank has in fact never paid out a cert. Al: of its money is in its vaults for use, and has been all tbe time. And altbo tbe sale i< actually made tbe deeds bare not been - passed?theoretically because of tbe $40,000 sri!l unpaid?but evideutly for tbe purpose of keeping the property in the uame of the federal Goverament, and thereby exempting it from local tax tion. This is a most pxtraordinaiy transaction throughout." - Many of the Democratic papers bar? been citing tbe law on the Secretary upon this state of fact*. For instance, tbe New Ysrk World calls his atteng?_. tion to the Revised Statutes of the United States wherein it is provided that "all proceeds of sales of old material, condemned stores, supplies, or other property of auy kind shall be gbfc- deposited and covered iato the treasnrv as miB'ellanPdtis receiots. * * * 1 , ana shall cot be withdrawn or applied except in conetqueiice of a subsequent appropriation made by law," and special attention :s called- to the act || authorizing the sale of the New York cu*toin-hou$e by which it is stipulated tha* "the proceeds or sale" shall be deposited in the Usited States Treasury, and "at as early a date as posii" ? i-LI. ? Die." iixny rspui&oie uewayayer# t charge tbat Mr. Gage is really guilty B?". " of embezzlement on accoant of bis failure to deposit the proceeds of sale and the law is quoted to this effect, and the resignation of the Secretary of the Treasury is demanded, p Perhaps the most going comment is U- made by the Springfield Republican. It seema that the Republican has been senrching the Congressional Recoad, jp&. and has ruo across some of President v?v McKinley's speeches while a member B of Congress. It appears that wbi'e Wiiidom wss Secretary of the Treasury unc^er Cleveland, he increased the deposits in banks from ?20,000,000 to nearly $62,000,000, and in this connection what iir. McKinley as then a member of Congte?8 had to say is es I pec ally interesting, for Secretary Gage is reported to h?.ve said that nis action i* endorsed by the President and the cabine?. The Republican re pro.luces from the Congressional Record of February 29, 1899, the following froin Mr. iicKinley's speech: "When we adjourned we left him (Secretary Fairchild) full power to pav it (the surplus) out, and I wish anrrn friend of the Administration would explain why be did not do it in tbe only {straightforward, logical, bu*iI aess-like way-that is, by paying the debts of the Government and saving 1- the interest charge, which resia so | heiviijr on the people. Instead of doing tha\ the Administration prefers another way. Ib prefers to nsethc: banks as a means of potting it in cirsalation. * * "Nearly $59,000,000, a* I uoderK stand, of tbe surplus money that ought to b-3 in tbe treasury to-day, tbe Secretary having refused to pay it out to a Government creditors, is now ou: among tbe banks, held by them, they j jiving to the Government bocds as j gecnrity for tbe deposit; and tbey are j getiing it without interest. They have j the surplus maney of the treasury in j their own hand#, and they collect ih i accruing interest oa the Government j bonds which tbey have deposited as | aecnrity, wheo, if the Administration ' had used the $59,000,000 and bought a j I corresponding amount of bonds with j " that ?nm, those bonds would have been j canceled, and the ioterest on that *um j would have been stopped. And I ; charge here to-day thdt the President i ?8^ of tho United S.'ates and hi3 Admiais-' tratLn are solely responsible for what-1 B ever congested condition we have in j the treasury, and whatever alarm pre- j I rails about the fluancea 01 tne conn-; try. E7ery dollar of it would have paid a dollar of the Government debts ; if the Secretary had wisely exercised | th8 discretion given him by law. What j does a man do Tvho h&s got a surplus j balance in toe banka and has outsiar.d- j ing debts bearing interest? He calls in j the evidences of those debts and j pays them off with his surplus deposit j la trliof o Knsin?j? man wrtnId ! tl JAl nuau ? vuv??v ? have done; and we would have had $50,000,000 les? of ir>tere3t-b~ rin? bonds in circulation today jf the President bad followed the way blnz d j for r-iin by the Republican party." "When the Republican n?;iouaI cnu- j veution assembled, soon afterward," j 8ay? The Republican, "Mr. SIcKisl^y, as ch&irmm of the c>iym;me ?n res ile Iution3, >aw to it tb*t a special d^nunciati>;? was written into ihep&tform of 4tne Democratic policy of loaning the Govern men t'? money, without interest, to pet banks/" The Republican farther comments: "It i3 a cnrioai tarn which tiae ha? brought, that the Adrair;j-!rvi.>n of William McKiaJey himself sh mid be pawning this 'Democratic policy,' instead of 'the way blazed t?.j him by the Republican party,' and 10 a ieDgtb which the Cleveland ^Administration never ventured to go. * * * The President plainly owes an apology to Cleveland and Fairchild." A great many people get i Mto trouble by talkingtoo much, and Mr. McKialey is one of these unfortunate people. A COUNT!
