Purely a Republican Deficiency
The New York Tribune and allied Republican organs blame the treasury deficit on Democratic incompetence. The piece recounts a $185 million cash balance with $100 million in gold in March 1889, then notes four years of Republican rule depleting reserves and a bare cupboard when Democrats took office last March. Secretary Foster reportedly borrowed from Wall Street to avert a default during Harrison’s term. Cleveland’s first term is cited as the current context.
