Washington, .tan. ii. The speech
of
Senator Sherman on the financial ques
lion last Friday is still the talk of the
capital, it is admitted to have been
the ablest refutation of the administra
tion's position yet made. It will lie
taken as the It-piihlictii party's text In

urv notes which, when redeemed, to be
reissued only lb exchange for gold coin
or bullion.
Senator Sherman said:
The uresldent in his unmml message to
con Kress conllned himself to two Import
ant subjects: one, our foreign relations and
the other the condition of our national
finances, lie followed it by another ines
huk on the application of the .Monroe doc
trine to the controversy between liivnt
ilrltain and Venesme'.a. While congress
heartily, prehaps too hustily, hut with en
tire unanimity, sunported him In inaln
tainiiiK the interests and honor of our
country lu the Held of diplomacy, it has
not and will not approve his recommenda
tions on tin' more important subject of our
currency. He has mistaken the cause of
cm- present llnunchil condition in nttribiit
Ing it to the demand for gold for Tailed
Suites notes Instead of the delleleney of
revenue caused by the leKsladon of the
litst congress. He places the effect before
the cause. He proposes ns a remedy the
conversion of the I'nited States note.' and
treasury notes Into Interest-bearing notes,
dins Increasing the Interest-hearing debt
nearly $."iiw,fluo,uit. He proposes a line rf
public policy 'that will produce a sliurp
contraction of our currency, add greatly
to the burden of existing debts and arrest
the progress of almost every American
Industry which now competes with foreign
productions.
The president Is supported In these views
by II r. Carlisle, his Hide secretary of the
treasury. In his report to congress. It Is
with dlflldence I undertake to controvert
tlulr opinions, hut my convictions are so
Mrong that they are In error that I hope
the strength of the facts 1 will submit
to the senate will convince It that the
true line of public policy is to supply the
government with ample means to meet
the current expenditures and to pay each
year a portion of the public debt. The
gold rest rve provided for the redemption
of raited Slates notes can then be easily
maintained without cost except the loss
of Interest on the gold 111 the treasury,
but with ft saving of Interest on I'nited
Slates notes anil -treasury notes of live
times the Interest lost by the gold held In
reserve. A vastly greater benefit than
saving Interest Is secured to our peyple
by a national paper currency at par with
coin supported by the credit of the I'nited
States, and redeemed on demand In each
coin at the treasury In tho principal city
of the railed Stales.
TiouMc One to tho Ocfieit.
The only difficultly In the way of nn
easy maintenance of our notes at par
with coin Is the fact that during this
administration the revenues of the gov
ernment have not been sufficient to meet
the expenditures authorised by congress.
If congress had provided the necessary
revenue or It the president and Air. ( ar
llsle had refused to expend appropria
tions not mandatory In form, but permis
sive, so as to conllne expenditures within
iccelpts they would have no difficulty
with the reserve. This would have been
a stalwart net in harmony with the
president's character and plainly within
Ids power. All appropriations which are
not provided to carry Into effect existing
inw are permissive, but not mandatory,
and ills refusal to expend money lu ex
cess of the revenues of the goveitini-nl
would not only he Justllled by public
policy, but would have been heartily
ni'vroved by the people of the I'nit'd
Stales. He knew as well ns any one
that since the close of the civil war to
the date of his Inaugural Ion the ex
penditures of the government had been
les than Its receipts.

IM2.2I.1. Cleveland's Complaint.
The president. In his recent annual
message, complains that the law of Oct.
ii, item, known as the .MeKlnley acl, was
'inefficient for ihe purposes of rev
enue." That law, though it largely re
duced taxation by placing many articles
on the free list and granted a bounty for
the production of sugur, yet did not re
duce revenues below expenditures, hut
provided a surplus of $S7,(9,7i;2.ri7 June at,
IS'il. and KI.HI-U.'tf.tiii June 8u, 1SS2, and
R,l1.ii74.2!i on the IW.h of June. lhlKI, when
Mr. Cleveland was president and a Dem
ovratle majority In both houses of con
gress had been elected, all pledged to re
peal the MeKlnley act and to reduce
dutlen. That the MeKlnley act did not
produce more revenue in 1.S93 and 1S9I
Is not a mutter of surprise. Any tariff
law denounced by the parly In power wiih
a promise to repeal it and to reduce du
ties would prevent Importations under the
old law and thus lower the revenue. Karly

term a bill was formulated, and, as soon
as practicable, passed the house of rep
resentatives. That bill met the hearty
approval of the president. If It hud be
come a law, as originally .presented, the
deliclencv In the revenue would have been
much greater than now, but conservative
Democratic senators, wun ine am or (
publicnn senators, greatly Improved the
house bill, added other duties and changed
fi-e scoiie of the measure. With these
amendments It became a law. The presi
dent refused lo sign it, expressing his op
position to the senate amendments, and
yet now supports ft when deficiencies huve
been greatly Increased, when the punllc
debt Is Increasing, and doubts are ex
pressed as to the ability of the govern
ment to maintain Its notes at par wiih
coin! The president makes no mention
In his message of these deficiencies, no
mention of the Ifsiic of Interest-bearing
lionds to meet them. The secretary of
the treasury Is more frank In his state
ment He reports a deficiency of $K9.8U3,

I'lnlev law "was Inefficient for the pur
pose of revenue" when the Wilson bill

The agricultural imports during the flr.it
year of the Wilson law tall of which are
such as are produced 111 the I'nited Statesi
were ot the value of $11)7.342.522. During
the lust year of the Mclvinley law tho Im
ports of the same farm products were of
ihe value of .'!. 4M.M4. Notable during
the same lime were the Importation or
two articles (Ilia! we call produce In the
I'nited Stalest under the Wilson law. wool
valued at $:i2.5S9.791, and hides valued at
$I0.4SU.'SU were imported. Importations of
wool were Increased under the Wilson
law six-fold, and of hides two and on
half-fold. The American farmer wa thus
deprived of his home market.
other Importations made during the year
under the Wilson law of urtlcles which
we can readily produce In this country I
were vi: I licit at ;2i3,IM4.ul3, while under tile
MeKlnley law I lie value of the same ar
ticles Imported was SJ72.743.01u. The enor
mous Importations under the Wilson law
for which we had to pay gold necessarily
diminished the exports of the I'nited
States, our chief reliance in our foreign
trade Is to expor t products, mainly agri
cultural, in sufficient quantity or more lo
pay for our Imports, so that the balance
of trade shall tie lu our favor. I'uder din
Wilson law we exported In a year agricul
tural productions valued ut t3UI.5iX.ti9,
Willie during the lust year of the McKin
lew luw we exported similar productions
valued ut $;r?l.l25.2!i9.
1 could pursue this analysis of these two
laws further, but I have said enough to
explain the preference by the president
of the Wilson bill. He believes in large
Importations at the lowest cost without
regard to the Industries and labor of our
countrymen, while I believe in a careful
discrimination and the Imposition of such
dudes on articles that compete with homo
production as will diversity our employ
ments and protect and foster nipart!lly
all industries, whether of the farm, of
die workshop, the mine, the forest or the
sea. I have not been satisfied with any
tariff law made during my public life
though I have shared in framing many.
I prefer a luw that will impartially pro
tect and encourage all. home Industries,
and regard Ihe MeKlnley law as Inllnltely
belter than the Wilson law, which I be
lieve Is the cause of all the evils which
we now encounter by udverse balance of
trade, by exportation of gold and de
rangement of our monetary system. The
Wilson law has produced a delicicncy In
every hour and day that it has been on tho
statue books, while the MeKlnley law has
always produced a surplus until after the
Incoming of this administration, and if ad
ministered since that time by friendly
agents would huve furnished the tfoveii
tuent all the revenue needed.
Ifoot of the Trouble.
The delleleney of revenue was the pri
mary cause of the demand for gold for
the I'nited States notes. The gold hoa.-;l-ed
for redemption purposes was not sep
arated from the money received for cur
rent revenue, and this revenue being
insufficient to meet expenses the goVI
accumulated for redemption purposes
was drawn upon to make good dellcicn.
ides. This created a doubt of the ability
of the government to maintain the par
ity of railed States notes with coin, and
led to their presentation for redemption
in coin. The draft on the treasury for
coin during this administration has been
greater than the amount of deficiency of
revenue during the same period. In every
aspect in which the subject presents lt
self to my ndnd 1 come to no other con
clusion than that the deficiency of rev
enue and the consequent encroachment
upon the redemption fund Is the cause of
our present financial condition, and that
the only remedies! are either a radical re
duction of expenditures or all increase of
taxation, and perhaps both, 1 do not be
lieve that the condition requires a suspen
sion of public works or a postponement
of measures now in progress to strengthen
the army and navy.
It is strange that the president. In
dealing with our financial condition,
should ignore entirely the pregnant and
controlling fact that during his term of
office thus far three issues of bonds have
been made, amounting ill the aggregate to
JH'.2. Jim. to meet current expenses in
time of profound peace. He attributes all
our llmineliil difficulties to the continued
circulation of I'nited States notes and
treasury notes, debts licarlng no Interest,
amounting to nearly $."iki,iniii.ooii. Ills state,
meiit of the origin und history of the
I'nited States Is strongly tinged with
prejudice, for though these notes were Ir
reeinable for a time, they were convertible,
into bonds bearing Interest payable In
coin. They replaced notes issued by banks
chartered by the several states.
They were the best possible substitute
for coin, ami In connection w ith the bonds
of the I'nited States 'they furnished the
means by which alone the army and navy
could have been sustained during the
war. Alter the war was over the question
of the retirement of the I'nited States
notes was mooted, bat no party or section
of our country demanded a cancellation
of these notes, but differed as to the
amount lo he retained In circulation. The
Democratic party I hen demanded the larg
est amount named, while a new parly,
called the "Oreeiiback party," demanded
ail unlimited issue without any provision
for their redemption In coin. The Itepub
lican parly provided, by the resumption
act of 1X75, for the reduction of I'nited
States notes to Hie maximum of :mo,ihii.ik)
and their redemption In coin on and after
Ihe first day of January, 1X79. This re.
dui tioii was arrested by congress when
the amount of the I'nited States notes
hud been reduced to $3hi,iitj,Spi, w hen both
houses of congress hud Democratic major
ities, l'rovlsluii was made for the reduc
tion of the I'nited Stales notes by coin
on demand and for their reissue, and au
thority was given to sell L'nlted States
bonds for that purpose.
fourteen Yenrs' KccorJ.
l'roni the first day of January, IS79, to
the election of Mr. Cleveland In Novem
ber, 192, there was no disturbance of the
orderly receipts und exchange of gold
and currency. The gold deposited in the
treasury in exchunge for gold bonds in
the summer and fail of lS'H amounted to
$95,.''"'.ll,1' The orilluary current revenue
in the treasury conducted the vust opera
tions of the government wdlhout friction
or trouble for nearly fourteen years.
I'nited States notes were at par with
coins, not only In every part of the t'tdted
States, but In every conn.i y In the world.
During all I but long period l'nlted States
notes were presented for redemption, but
in amounts comparatively Insignificant, f
have here a table prepared by the treas
ury department, by which, from the 1st
of July, 1X79, to the 1st of July, 1WI2, the
redemption a' I'nited States notes in gold
averaged less than :l,iMl,i)nit a year, while
during the lust three and one-half years
the redemption of I'nited States notes
and treusiiry notes exceeded lltW.WW.MW
for euch year. During the first thirteen
years gold was exported In large quanti
ties, but it was nut drawn from the re
serve; but during the past three and a
half yeurs $'ii."iiu0i was drawn from the
reserve and $:M5,nnu,WI exported. The bal
ance, with the domestic supply of gold,
was hoarded 111 the l'nlted States.
The recent report of Secretary Car
lisle shows that prior to 1S91 the demand
for coin for l'nlted Slates notes during
a period of thirteen years, from July 1,
1S79. to July 1. 1X92, was only $43.3ln.xW,
while the receipts of gold for l'nlted
States notes during the same period
amounted to $1iM,OiiO,ilO0. The withdrawals
from the treasury from July 1, 1892, to
Dec. 1, 1895, have amounted to $3tiO,2iili,5l2.
During the first term of Air. Cleveland,
when he was powerless to affect our
currency and tariff policy, the senate be.
Ing Republican, the gold Increased from
24i).iKx.iia on the 1st of April, 1885, to
$320.01.000 on the 1st of April, 1SS9. This
gold came into the treasury without cost
In exchunge for I'nited States notes or
gold certificates.
It is Just to Mr. Carlisle to say that
he attributes the withdrawal of gold to
silver legislation, yet the Bland, Allison
aot was In force from 1878 to 1890, when the
accumulation of gold occurred, and the
great body of gold was withdrawn after
the art of July 14, 1890. was repealed. In
1880. while I was secretary of the treas
ury, tha government received over $IO,ono.

Altoonn, Pu., Jan. 5. The most stub
born and destructive fire that has vis
ited Ihe city for many years broke out
In the Central Hotel, a large six-story
brick building on Kleventh avenue,
shortly after four o'clock this morning
and the firemen were still working on U
this evening, though It hud been gotten
under control ut nine o'clock this morn
ing. Hefore the llames were extin
guished one man had lost his life una
three others were Injured, one of them

consumed.
The lire originated in the cellnr of the
hotel and spread with alarming rapid
ity, the guests having barely time to es
cape. Sumo who did not hear the first
alarm were compelled to Hoe Into the
streets in their night clothing nnd some
were rescued from the burning hullillng
by the firemen, who carried them down
ladders. It is believed that all escaped,
but several purtlcs who had registered
are missing. It Is probable that they
who only stopped for the night got out
of the building safely and left the city
on the early trains. It Is also possible
that they may have been cremated.
The llames spread so rapidly that
nope of the guests saved a particle of
their belongings and several actors ami
...ieue who had been stopping ...ere.
lost their wardrobes. The uotel wns
one of the oldest In tin cily and was
owned by Amanit.ua ink. The struc

000, on which there wns no Insurance.

a half block, owned by (leorge Strelt,
caught lire from the hotel and was de
stroyed. The loss on this building Is
$1S,ooo, and It Is Insured for $17,000. The
Strelt building was occupied by Kudislll
und Prulzman. wholesale dealers in
wooden and willow ware, who lost $2o.

of one adjoining building where one of
the walls fell catching live of the men.
Frank Houseman, a prominent citizen
and fireman of the Pennsylvania Itiill
nmd company's bolt shop, was irstentlv
killed and William Wareham had his

Houseman's head was crushed, his
neck was broken and his body wns
burned all over. He was killed at six
a. m. and his body wns not recovered
from the ruins until 8 o'clock this after
noon. The lire was the worst that the
fire department has ever been called
on to battle with. The weather wan
below zero and a strong wind blowing'
at the time. U was only by I lie luirdest
kind of work that a general conllugra
tlon was averted.

siders that the sale of oioniarr;dririt.

more difficult to stamp odt. In the

the value of products In Pennsylvania
at $;!42.O0O.00O antiunlly; the annua!
cost of food adulterations Is $17.imjii.iski.
The injurious fca4ures are also to be
considered. He says the pure food law

to Comu to America.
Troy, Jan. u. Mark Agynlian. an Ar
menian residing In this city, has re
ceived a letter from his wife, who Is In
Marash, fifteen miles from Zeitun, tho
scene of an Armenian massncre. The
letter says that the woman's brother
nnd two uncles were horribly butchered
on Nov. 18 with many others whose
names she refrained from mentioning
for fear that the letter might be lost.
The people of eight rich homes m-ar the
American missionary's house were
killed and their houses plundered and
burned.
A Presbyterian missionary had tho
choice of death or a change in creed,
and, choosing the former, his body was
cut to pieces. The letter makes a plea
for money to bring the writer to Ameri
ca, and says that the Armenians have
only hay to lie on and nothing toat.
