A numiser of New York bankers
have given it as their opinion that
these United States, with the large
withdrawals of gold irom the trcas
n ry. will soon be upon a silver
monetary basis, and that tjis re
sult will be reached without any
shock to the business interests.
This condition should suit? our
populist friends who have been so
shrill v screaming for silver.
Despite chesseparer Morton's at
tempts at economy and the disre
pute by which practice he has
brought the American hog the bill
reported by the house committee
for the next fiscialyear for the
Agricultiral department, carries ar
increased appropriation of SSi
over that for the current year. TH
j, leviouV'iKays of a democratic cecal

There are several bills in the
house providing that when a scholar
lives more than two and one-half
miles from the school house in his
own district and a half mile nearer
the school house in another district
by the nearest road, he may attend
in the latter district, and shall be
counted as belonging to that dis
trict in making up the school ap
portionment. A substitute cover
ing the ground of all these bills
will be introduced.
Last Friday night the bill pledg
ing the faith of the United States,
to the extent of $100,000,000, to the
construction of the Nicaragua canal
passed the senate. This is the
most important measure for the fu
ture prosperity of our country
which lias been before congress for
many years and it should be
.speedily adopted by the lower house
and become a law. If Unci Sam
(kes not assume sponsorship of the
affair brother John Bull will step in
and he will obtain a grip upon the
enterprise like he has upon the
Suez canal.
Now that the county treasurer
has been placed in possession of the
funds that were formerh- in the
Uradv Island bank the commission
ers are in a quandary as to what to
do with them. An elaborate article
might be prepared upon this fact,
setting forth the idea that there
were millions of dollars lying idle
i'i banks all over the country.await
ing investment in the channels of
trade at such a time as people will
quit monkeying with our iiscal sys
tem and scaring capital into the
belief that it is a depreciated dol
lar that will be repaid it instead of
the hundred cents borrowed.
The strike in Brooklyn will soon
be history. And what are the re
sults? The city and county have
been put an expense of $15,000 a
day for the maintenance of the
militia: the strikers have spent all
the money in their treasury and a
great deal that was in the treasury
of other Labor organizations: the
court proceedings now begun will
give them no relief that they might
not have secured without this up
heaval: the companies have been
put to a heavy expense in the loss
of business and destruction of pro
perty. Worst of all. lives have
been sacrificed and the breach wid
ened between Labor and Capital.
There is nothing in these results
that is the least creditable to the
street railway companies or their
employes.
LEGISLATIVE LACONICS-
The judicial apportionment bill
has been introduced in the senate
and no change has been made in the
formation of the Thirteenth judi
cial district.
A bill has been introduced in the
senate contemplating county owner-
shin and control of irrrigation,
navigation and water power canals
Its provisions are manifold, and the
bill seems to have been especially
drawn in the interests of Douglas
count-. Whether the bill is con
stitutional or not will make no dif
ference with its friends.
Senator McKcebv introduced five
anti-monopoly measures Friday
One was a telephone bill fixing the
rental at $2 per month in small
cities and $2.50 in cities of over 40,
000. Telegraph rates are fixed at
20 cents for ten words and one cent
for each additional word tor any
distance within the state. Rates
on sleeping cars shall not be more
than $1.50 for a lower berth for pas
sage across the state and $1.00 for
upper berth.
The senate, after considerable de
bate, cut the amount of the relief
bill from $100,000 to $50,000. In this
shape the bill passed. A tele
gram was read from Des Moines
saying that coal donated would be
returned to the mines if freight was
not once paid. The senators agreed
to vote another $50,000 if it became
necessary. The investigating com
mittee learned that there are now
120 cars of supplies in sight, besides
about 250 cars of coal. One consign
ment of twenty-three cars of coal
was sent back to the mines because
nobody could be found who would
pay the freight, and the railroad
company would hold it no longer.
The communications received from
all over the union seem to indicate
that the supplies on the way and
being solicited will amount to much
more than the proposed appropria
tion by the legislature. Incident
ally it is stated that the commis
sion will handle fully $1,000,000
worth of money and property
There is much criticism because
the railroads refuse to ship for pri
vate persons to private persons. It
can readily be seen that to do this
would open the way for much fraud
The free rates are made only to
the commission.

Qnestion Discussed.
Washington, .Tau. 28. The president
today sent to congress the following mes
sage on the financial question:
To the Seuute nud House of Representa
tives: In my last annual massage I com
mended to tho terious consideration ol
congress tha condition of our national
finances and incounection with the sub
jeet endorsed tho plan of currency legia
lation which at that time seemed to fur
nish protection against impending dan
ger. This plan has not been approved
by the congress. In the meantime the
situation has so changed that the emer
gency now appears so threatening that
I deem it my duty to ask at tho hands of
the legislative branch of tho government
. uc prom t and effective action as will
restoro confidence in our financial sound'
ness and avert busiuess disaster and uni
versal distress among our people. "What
Sver may be the merits of the plan out
lined in my annual message as a remedy
for ills existing and a3 a safeguard
against tho depletion of tho gold reserve
then in tho treasury, I am now
convinced that its reception
by tho congress and out
present advanced state of financial per
plexities, necessitated additional or dif
ferent legislation. "With natural re
sources unlimited in variety and pro
ductive strength, and with a people
whoso activity and enterprise seek only
a fair opportunity to achieve national
success sind greatness our progress
should not be checked by false financial
policy and a heedless disregard of sound
monetary laws, nor should the timidity
and fear which they ongender stand in
the way of our prosperity.
It is hardly disputed that this pre
dicament confronts us today. Therefore,
no one in any degree responsible for the
making and execution of our laws should
fail to see a patriotic duty in honestly
and sincerely attempting to relieve the
situation. Manifestly thin effort will
not succeed unless it is made uutram
meled by the prejudice of partisanship
and with a steadfast determination to
resist the temptation to accomplish
party advantage. "We may well remem
ber that if we are affected with financial
difficulties all our people in all stations
of life are concerned and surely those
who suffer will not receive tha promo
tion of party interests as an excuse foi
permitting our present troubles to ad
vauce to a disastrous conclusion. It is
also of the utmost importance that we
approach the study of the problems pre
sented as free as possiblo from the
tyranny of preconceived opinions to the
end that in a common danger we may
be able to seek with unclouded vision a
lafe and reasonable protection.

Tfce real troaWs 'njiiiilr i iafTfciii
ConitfL ill a law ui cuuuueucv w
spread Ad constantly increasing in the
continued disability or disposition of the
government to pay its obligations in
gold. This lack of confidence grows to
some extent out of the palpable and
studied embarrassments attending the
government under existing law to pro
cure gold and to a greater extent out of
the impossibility of either keeping it in
the treasury or cancelling obligations by
its expenditure after it is obtained.
The only way left open to the govern
ment for procuring gold is by tho issuo
and salo of bonds. The only bonds that
can be issued were authorized nearly 25
years ago aud aro not well calculated to
meet our present needs. Among other
disadvantages they are made payable in
coin instead of specifically in goldwhich
under existing conditions detracts large
ly aud in an increasing ratio from their
desirability as investments. It is by no
means certain that bonds of this des
cription can bo much longer disposed of
at a price creditable to the financial
character of our government. The moat-
dangerous and irritating feature of the
situation, however, remains to be men
tioned. It is found in tho meaiiH by
which the treasury is despoiled of tho
gold thus obtained without cancelling a
single government obligation and solely
for the benefit of those who find profit
in shipping it abro.id or whose fears in
duce them to hoard it at home.
"We have outstanding about 300,000,-
000 of currency notes of the government
for which gold may be demanded; and
curiously enough the law requires that
when presented, and in fact redeemed
and paid in gold they shall be reissued.
Thus the same notes may do duty many
times in drawing gold from the treas
ury; nor can the procoss be arrestod as
long as private parties who profit or
otherwise see an advantage in repeating
the operation. More than 0300,000,000
in these notes have already been re
deemed in gold and notwithstanding
such redemption they are still outstand
ing, biuco .lan. li. lbvi, our bonded
interest bearing debts have been in
creased $100,000,000 for the purpose of ob
taining gold to replenish our coin re
serve, l wo issues were maue, amount
ing to $"0,003,00D each one in January
and the other in November. As a re
sult of tho first issue there was realized
something more than $o3,000,000 in
gold. Between that issue and tho suc
ceeding one in November, comprising a
period of about 10 months, nearly f 103,
000,000 in gold were drawn from the
treasury. Tha made the second issue
necessary, and upon that more than
jtfiS.O jO 000 in gol.l was .-'.gain realized.
Between the date of this second issue
nnd the nre -eat time, covering a period
pf onlv about two months, more than
f Gy.000,000 in rrold were expended with
out any cancellation of government ob
ligations or in any permanent way ben
fitmg our people or improving our pe
cuniary situation.
Kreent Italda on the Reterre.
The financial events of tho past yeai
suggest facts and conditions whicL
should certainly arrest attention. Mort
than $172,000,900 in gold have been
drawn out of the treasury during tht
year for the purpose of shipping abroad
or hoarding at home. Whilo nearly
.'lOp.000,000 of the same were drawn out
during the first 10 months of the year, a
sum aggregating more than two-thirds
of that amount, being about $09,000,000,
was drawn out during tho following two
months, thus Indicating a marked accel
eration of the depleting process with tht
lapse of time. Tho obligations upon
which this gold has been drawn from
the treasury are still outstanding and
are available for use in repeating the ex
hausting operation with shorter intervals
as our perplexities accumulate. Condi
tions are certainly supervening, tending
to make the bonds which may bo issued
to replenish our gold less useful for that
purpose.
An adequate gold reserve is in all cir
cumstances absolutely essential to the
upholding of our public credit and to
tho maintenance of our high national
character. Our gold reserve has again
reached such a stage of diminution as to
require its speedy reinforcement. Tho
aggravations that must inevitably fol
low present, conditions will surely lead
to misfortune and loss not only to om
national credit and prosperity, and to
financial enterprise, but to those of om
people who secjf employment as a meanl
of livelihood and those whose only capi
tal is their daily labor.
It will hardly do to say that a simple
increase of revenue will cure om
troubles. The apprehension now exist
isting and constantly increasing as to
our financial ability does not rest upon
calculation of ,our revenue. Tho time
has passed when tho eyes of the investors
aboard and our people at home were
fixed upon tho revenue of this govern
ment. Changed conditions have at
tracted thehvattention to the gold of the
government. There need bo no (cat
that wo cannot pay our current expenses
with such money as we have. There ii
now in the treasury a comfortable sur
plus of more than $08,000,000, but it is
not in gold aaC'therefore docs not meet
our difficulty. j"

Besides v the, Treasury notes, which
certainly should.' bo paid in gold,
amounting to nearly $500,000,000, there
will fall dne in 1904 $100,000,000 of
bonds issued- during the last year, for
which we have received gold, and in 190
nearly $600,000,003 of four per cent bonds
issued in 1877. Shall the payment of
these obligations in gold be repudiated?
If thev are to be paid in such a manner
as the preservation of our national
honor and national solvency demands,
wo should not destroy or even imperil
our ability to supply ourselves with gold
for that purpose.
"While I am not unfriendly to silver,
and while I desire to see it recognized to
Guch an extent as is consistent with

national honor and credit, I am not will
ing to sea gold entirely banished from our
currency and finances. To avert such a
consequence I believe thorough and
remedial legislation should be promptly
passed. I therefore beg congress to givo
tho subject immediate attention.
Sug-gcrtfoB to Bonds.
In my op uion the secretary of the
treasury should be authorized to issue
bonds of tho government for I he purpose
of procuring and maintaining a sufficient
gold reserve and the redemption aud
cancellation of the United States legal
tender notes and the treasury notes is
sued for the purchase of silver under tho
law of July 14, 1890. We should be re
lieved from the humiliating process of
issuing bonds to procure gold
to bo immediately and repeatedly
drawn out on these obligations for
purpose.? not related to tho ben
efit of our government or our people.
The principal and interest of these
bonds should be payable on their face in
gold, because they should be sold only
for gold, or its representative, and be
cause there would now probably bo diffi
culty in favorably disposing of bonds
not containing thirf stipulation. I sug
gest that the bonds be issued in denom
inations of $20 and $50 aud their multi
plies, and that they bear interest at a
rate not exceeding 3 per cent per an
num. I do not sco why they should not
be payable 50 years from their dates.
"We of the present generation have large
amounts to pay, if we meet our obliga
tions, and long bonds aro most saleable.
The secretary of the treasury might well
1x5 permitted, at his discretion, to re-
leive on the sale of bonds the legal ten
der and treasury notes to be retired,
and, of course, when they are thus re
tired or redeemed, in .gold thy should be
cancelled.
These bonds under existing laws could
be deposited by national banks as se
curity for circulation and such banks
should be allowed to issue circulation up
to tho face aluo of these or any other
bonds so deposited, except bonds out
standing bearing only 2 per cent inter
est and which sell in the market at less
than par. National banks should not
be allowed to take out circulating notes
of a less denomination than $10, and
when such as are now outstanding reach
the treasury, except for redemption and
retirement, they should b.' cancelled and
notes of the denomination of 10 and up
wards issued in their stead. Silvei
certificates of the denomination of 10
and upwards should be replaced by
certificates of denominations under $10.
Import Dntlcs Should lie 1'aiil In Gold.
As a constant means for the main
tenance of a reasonable supply of gold
in the treasury our duties on imports?
should be paid in gold, allowing all other
dues to the government to bo paid in
any other form of money.
I believe all tho provisions I have sug
gested should be embodied in our laws
if we are to enjoy a complete reinstate
ment of a sound financial condition.
They need not interfere with any cur
rency scheme providing for the increase
of the circulating medium through the
agency of national or state banks, since
they can easily be adjusted to such a
scheme. Objection has been mado to
the issuance of interest bearing obliga
tions for tho purpose of retiring the non
interest bearing legal tender notes. In
point of fact, however, thes9 notes have
burdened us with large load of inter
est and it is still accummulating. The
aggregate interest on the original issue
of bonds, the proceeds of which in gold
constituted the reserve for tho payment
of these notes, amounted to ?70,32G.250
on Jan. 1, 1895, and tho annual charge
for interest on these bonds and those
issued for the same purpose during the
last year will be $9,1-15,000, dating from
Jam 1, 1S95.
"While tho cancellation of these notes
would not reliove us from the obliga
tions already incurred on their account,
these figures are given by way of sug
gesting that their existence has not been
free from interest charges and that tho
longer they arc outstanding, judging
from tho experience of the last year, tho
moro expensive they will become.
In conclusion, I desire to frankly con
fess my reluctance to issuing more bonds
in presont circumstances and with no
better results than have lately followed
that course I cannot, however, refrain
from adding the assurance of my anxiety
to co-operate with the present congress
in any reasonable measure of relief, an
expression of my determination to leave
nothing imdone which furnishes a hope
for improving the situation or checking
a suspicion of our disinclination or dis
ability to meet with the strictest honor
every national obligation.

"Washington, Jan. 22. While Mr.
Lynch (Dem., "Wis.) was trying to get
unanimous consent of the house to con
sider a bill to quiet the title to certain
lands in Wisconsin, Mr. Prnden, tho
president's executive clerk, appeared and
announced a message in writing from
the president.
Mr. Lynch's request was immediately
objected to, and Speaker Pro Tom. Rich
ardson laid the message before the
house. As the clerk began reading tho
-msmbera took their seats mid-listened
with intense eagernese to every word.
Mr. Reed and other Republican leaders
followed tho president's argument as
closely as the Democrats. As soon as
the reading was completed there was a
round of applause from the Democratic
side, in which quite a number uf Re
publicans joined.
Mr. Springer, chairman of the com
mittee on banking and currency, forth
with sent to the clerk's dek the admin
istration biil stating that ho would move
the reference of the bill aud message to
his committee.
Mr. Bryan objected, however, when
Mr. Springer asked unanimous consent
that the bill go with the moxige t: the

"Tho chair will refer under the rules
