Wasiiinoton, .Ian 4. Senator Hher ■an to-day addressed the Senate on the re-olution Introduced hy him a few days ago relative to the resiorutlon of the fold reserve, lie began by assert Inf that, while Congress would support the (’resident In maintaining the honor 1 anti Integrity of our country In the field of diplomacy, it will not approve hlg recommendation on the in .re im portant subject of our financial policy, and especially of our currency. Coo* tiuuin >, he said: "The (’resident has mistaken the cause of our present financial condi tion In attributing it to llte demand for gold instead of to the deficiency of revenue caused hy the legislation of the last Congress, lie proposes as a remedy the conversion of the United (Hates notes ami trea tiry notes Into interest b wring bonds, thus increas ing the Interest hi uring debt nearly 0601.CHXi.noo lie propose* u line of public policy thaL will produce a sharp Contraction of our currency, udd freutly to the burden of existing ebts and arrest the progress of almost every American Industry which now eompwtea with foreign production.” Senator Hhcrmun read from decre tory < artiste's report to show that Prior to It 'I the demand for coin for United Status notes during a period of thirteen yea a from Jnly I, 1879, to July I, 1*92, whs only 948,$10,*90, while the receipt* of gold for United Slates notes (luring the same prior period amounted to 1140,000,000, The withdrawals from the treasury from July I, 1892, t<> December 1, IMS, hare amounted to 9(90,3(91,813. During the first term of Mr. Cleveland, when he was powerless to affect our currency and tariff policy, the Senate being Re publican, the gold increased from 92-iO,into,OOo on April I, Ito 93:0,• 900,000 on April I, jHaii, This gold came into the treasury without cost in exchange for United Stales note* or gold certificates. Mr. Carlisle at tribute* the withdrawal of gold to silver legislation, yet the iiland Allisou act. was in force from I*78 to Imvu, when the accumulation of gold occurred, and the great body of gold was withdrawn after the act of July 14, ISUu, was repealed. Id view of these official facts can any fair minded man have a doubt as to the cause of our financial condition? Wliat oilier cause cun be slated tlian tha' unwise legislation reduced our reveuues below our expenditure*, im paired confidence In our ability to msintain our currency at par and com pelled the government to sell bonds provided for the redemption of United htrUii nut** iii «*r4i«r to mm ot Ueflcten* eies? What other remedy is there for our financial difficulties except to bor row money on the best burnt* possible to pay current deficiencies ami to pro vide additional revenue for future wants? To thla extent and for these pur pose* I am willing to support this ad ministration, howevermuch I may dis agree with it* general policy. 1 do not wish to criticise llie sales of bonds authorized by the resumption act to meet these deficiencies. Under the circumstances the administration was justified in doing this, even to the impairment of tiie resumption fund, but it ought frankly say that the cause of tiie iuvusion of the resump tion fund was the deficiency of revenue created by faulty tariff leg station by the last (.'(ingress. Tiie true lumedy is to supply by taxation in some form additional revenue, and, until this can be effected, to borrow from the of ( tin l'tiili- 4 States iiMnitifh money to cover past and future de ficiencies- This done gold will reidily be exchanged for I'uited Staten notes, an nun dmie from January 1, I&7U to the election of Mr. Cleveland. The two defects in rxistiug law re lating to redemption, are mentioned by the President pir«t, *hnt the notes presented for redemption must be reissued. It seems from the uews Eapers that lie hits found the [lower to old notes redeemed until they can be exchanged for coin, a discovery t hat be should have made sooner. .Second, that tire resumption fund is a part of the general balance in the treasury and may be applied to current ex penditures. “Congress neglected to cure the de fects pointed out bv me as Secretary of the Treasury in IMU. but I hope will correct them now at the request of the President. It was not tin n an ticipated that a deficiency of revenue would occur or that, if It did occur, the guveruineut would use a fund specifically pled oil fur another pur pose to meet current liabilities. “The President is of the opinion that the lTiileri Slates uotes aud treasury notes should be retired aud give place to bank uotes This is a question for Congress to decide It is certainly uot of itist opinion m»a. nor ss> the lael Congress of that op tima “I believe that, under »listing inw, the aggregate suiu of t'niled Slates notes aud trensury notes issued under the net of isun. amouutmg to nbout gtao.uun.uMu, can be easdy maintained nt par with coin if the two amend menu I have mentioned are adopted by » ougresa “A careful studv of the system of banking currency aud co nage adopted by the principal nation* of hurope eon* in e* me that “dr system, shsu find of a fee detects deOe oped by time, founded upon the bimetal tie eomage of gold and diver maintained nt p«> ••in each other with free aa* ti ntl bank • oaiabitshed -a every etly • a t town of int|««r lame in the Tailed tita'ea leaning their notes seen red be* y,>ai d mid I nr I u-led * sift bond* or s ' r eqwi•a 'mi ve, '.f i v 11 »1 »eina bte Oil demand in Tailed si lies notes, • ad ti># i*»ae of any -mount -I i ntte I h ales notes and tte »«*»»> notes equal W> the am nu n-a >i *Undag with pi doiim tog a ratal - with th« merensr >* p « a el wats redeemable in ■ ■ >, , ifi.d by mm §Hp • # v! *■*.
