FREE COINAGE BILL.
Senate Committee's Substitute for the
Bond Rill-Amendments by Elkins and
Bntler.
Washington, Jan. G. The coming
week In the senate wl! depend entirely
upon the progress made by the llnance
committee. Chairman, of the finance
committtee, experts to have hlc com
mute report both the bond und the
tariff bill on the regular meeting- day
Tuesday next. Democratic members
of the committee, however, assert that
It wll be Impossible for the tariff bill
to be reported for the good reason that
it has never been considered In full
committee and they will not agree to
Its report on that day.
It ii conceded that the bond bill will
reach the senate with the enacting
clause stricken out and a free coinage
bill substituted. The details of this
proposed measure have been previously
published in these dispatches.
The present intention of the finance
committee appears to be to report the
tariff bill as It came from the house, al
though pressure Is brought to bear up-
on the committee to increase all the
schedules from the fifteen per cent. In
crease fixed by the house to twenty or
twenty-live per cent. It Is not probable
that a caucus of the Republican sena
tors will be held on the bill, but that
there have been numerous conferences
between the rank and file and the lead
ers having for their purpose the con
centration of the whole strength of the
Republican vote against any and all
amendments that may be offered.
The unfinished busines before the sen
ate 1 sthe resolution of Mr. Elkins de
claring it to be the sense of the senate
that hereafter no bonds Bhall bo sold
without first advertising for bids, and
the amendment thereto by Mr. Hutler
prohibiting the sale of bonds in any
manner. This business will come up
again during the morning -our on Tues
day. SQUIRE'S CONFESSION.
For $50 Ho Entered on Ills Hooks a Mar
riage That He Never Performed.
Amsterdam, N. Y., Jan. 6. The late
Charles R. Oolder was a wealthy resi
lient of Gloversvllle. and after Ms death
his brother, D. G. Golder, was appointed
administrator of his estate. Later
Kittle Canfield Hout, of this city,
claimed to be the widow of Oolder, and
asked to be appointed administratrix.
The petitioner claimed that she was
married to Charles R. Golder by Holmes
K. Nelson, a Justine of the peace, resid
ing at Akin. The case was heard by
the surrogate today. After several
witnesses had testified. Justice Nelson
took the stand and acknowiedgeu that
ho made the following entry In his
book: "Charles R. Golder married to
Klttie Canfield Hout, Nov. 12, 1893."
The wltnes said he never married the
souple, and then he testified that the
petitioner hired him to make the entry
in the book and paid him $50 for aoing
the same. He said that the entry was
made about the last of August, 1895.
The case was then quickly dismissed by
the surrogate.
Mr. Dunlap, of this city, the woman's
attorney, said this afternoon that he
had been grossly deceived by Justice
Nelson. He said that Nelson told him
that he married the couple, and showed
him the record of the marriage on his
docket. Nelson said that he had failed
to file It with the town clerk, because
he was requested to keep It quiet. Mr.
Dunlap will bring the matter before the
general term of the Suprerrej court and
have Nelson removed from his office as
justice of the peace. He will also pre
sent the facts in the case to the grand
Jury of. Montgomery county and en
deavor to have Nelson Indicted for a
criminal offence. Nelson Is over sixty
years of age, and a well-known Repub
lican officeholder.
SHERMAN'S GREAT SPEECB

been Untied under that act. United States
notes and sliver certificates wer mare con
venient to purchase cotton, and corn, end,
when maintained at parity with coin,
will always be preferred la largo com
mercial transaction as well as lu the cur
rent business of life.
The President's Proposal.
In view of these official facts, can any
fair man doubt as to the 'ause of our
flml lal condition? What other cause can
be stated than that unwise legal action
reduced our revenues below our expendi
tures, Impaired contldence in our ability
to maintain our currency at par, ami
compelled the government to sell bonds
provided for the redemption of United
States notes In order to meet dertclenoles?
What other remedy Is there for our finan
cial difficulties except to borrow money on
the bent terms possible to pay current de
ficiencies, and to provide additional rev
enue for future wantH? To this extent and
for these purposes I am willing to sup
port this administration, however much 1
mav disagree with Its general policy.
ilut 'the president Is not satlslled. He
demands the retirement and cancellation
of all'the United States notes and treas
ury notes by the pale of bonds of the
United States bearing Interest. In his an
nual message he says: "In anticipation of
Impending trouble, I bad on the 28th day
of January, 1893, addressed a communica
tion 4o the congress fully setting forth our
difficulties and dangerous position and
earnestly recommending that authority be
given the secretary of the treasury to Is
sue bonds bearing a low rate of Interest,
payable by their terms in gold for the
purpose of maintaining a sufficient gold
reserve, and also for the redemption and
cancellation of outstanding United States
notes and the treasury notes issued for
the purchase of silver under the law of
lssu. This recommendation did not, how
ever, meet with legislative approval."
He might have said that It was rejected
by both houses of congress each contain
ing a majority of his political friends.
With the experience of fourteen years, the
people of the United States as well as their
representatives were almost unanimously
In favor of a currency so easily main
tained at par In coin by the promise of the
United Slates to pay It In coin and by
holding in the treasury 100,00O,IH)O gold
coin for its redemption when presented.
No one contemplated that this reserve
would be used o pay current expendi
tures. In all our legislation since the war
ample means were provided to meet cur
rent expenditures without trenching upon
this reserve and It was not encroached
upon until 11 r. Cleveland became presi
dent. Instead of demanding more revenue
he urged the reduction of duties and se
cured the passage of a law which reduced
the revenue and forced the treasury to en
croach upon the redemption fund to meet
current obligations. If this policy Is
adopted to compel the people of the United
States to surrender the best paper curren
cy thev have ever enjoyed. It will fall.
If rnveriuels wanted to meet current expen
ditures It will be furnished either by tax
ation of by borrowing, or by both, but to
create deficiencies In order to compel the
cancellation of United States notes by the
Issue of bonds will not, in the language
of the president, "meet with legislative
approval."
The "Endless Chain."
Mr. Olevelnnd In his message complains
thut when notes are presented for redemp
tion and are redeemed, the law requires
that they shall belong; 'to the United States,
they shall not be retired, canceled or de
stroyed, but they shall be reissued and
paid out-again and kept In circulation.
The right to reissue Is a necessary Inci
dent to a circulating; note. The United
States does what every bank does. By
this provision Is furnishes a note foi
circulation better than any other yet de
vised by mortal man.
Ho also says: "The government was put
In the anomalous situation of owing to
the holders of Its notes, debts payable In
gold on demand, which could neither be re
tired by receiving such notes In discharge
or obligations due the government nor
cancelled by actual payment In gold. It
was forced to redeem without redemption,
and to pay without acquittance."
It seems to me that when the govern
ment redeems its notes, the former holder
of tho note has no riglut to say whether It
shall be reissued ot not. The last sen
tence Is without a meaning. If 'the United
States redeems its notes the hulder has
nothing more to say, and when the United
States puy out a note It always takes a
receipt, which Is an acquittance.
The president says that In April, 1893,
for the lirst 'time since its establishment,
this reserve amounted to less than lloo,
OOU.ooo, eoutalnlng, at that date, only
$97,011,33). Tula significant statement made
ns to the earliest days of his adminlstra.
Hon, should have excited In the mind of
the president an Inquiry Into the cause
ot the reduction of the reserve. The real
reserve for redemption purposes was the
proceeds of $95,500,110 bonds and no more,
in addition to this reserv, it Is necessary
to have on hund to meet current expendi
tures, the sum of from 320.OUU.OUO to $40,000,.
000. A certain periods, a large balance Is
accumulated to pay the interest of the
public debt and- other large disbursements
for the urmy and navy. Any excess should
be at once applied to the reduction of the
principal of tho public debt. This line of
public policy was continued from the
first of January, 1879, to the 4th of March,
1893, Including the first administration
of Mr. Cleveland. During this period,
many times morn gold were deposited in
the treasury than was paid out. Large
amounts of gold wete deposited In the
trewsurv for gold certificates. The public
debt was largely diminished. Not a shad
ow of a doubt had been cast upon the
ability of the government to redeem Its
notes or to maintain Its reserves. The
minimum never fell below $190,000,000.
Nor would the reserve have fallen be
low that minimum during and after 189.1,
but for tho known policy of the presi
dent to reduce duties on Imported goods,
followed soon by the enactment of the
tariff law now in force, resulting In a
large reduction of revenue, and in de
ficiencies that ooifld only be paid out of
the resumption fund.
It is but fair to state that the resump
tlon aot of 1875 did not segregate the re
sumption fund from he general balance,
nor did It provide that notes redeemed
should be held In place for the coin paid
out. Nor would deficiencies have occurred
had not the president and both houses
of the Fifty-third congress, then In po
litical sympathy, united in passing a law
reducing the revenue below expenditures
for the lirst time since the close of the war
and compelled the executive authorities
to apply a fund created for the redemp
tion of United States notes to meet the
ordinary expenses of the government, This
demonstrated fact Is the source and foun
tain of all our present financial difficul
ties. I do not wish to criticise the sales
of bonds authorized by the resumption
act to meet thes deficiencies. Under the
circumstances the administration was Jus
tified In doing this, even to the impair
ment of the resumption fund, but It ought
frankly to say that the cause of the In
vasion of the resumption fund was the
deficiency of revenue created by faulty
tariff legislation by the last congress,
' A Discreditable Deflelency.
Such a deficiency Is discreditable to the
United States, with Its vast wealth and re
sources. There Is no difficulty in collect
lust by taxation all and more money than
is necessary for Its expenditures. It Is hu
miliating to read In the newspapers of the
day that our government is negotiating
for money from associated bankers and
like a distressed debtor in view of bank
ruptcy is offered by a friendly power with
it accumulated gold to relieve us from our
supposed llnanclal distress. The true rem.
edy Is to supply by taxation In some form
additional revenue, and, until this can be
effected, fo borrow from the people of the
United States enough money to cover
past and future deficiencies. This done,
gold will readily be exchanged for United
fttsites notes, as was done from January.
1879, to the election of Mr. Cleveland.
The two defects In existing law relating
to redemption are mentioned by the presi
dent. First, that the notes presented for
redemption must be reissued. It seems
from the newspapers that he has found
the power to hold notes redeemed until
they can he exchanged for coin, a dis
covery that he should have made sooner.
Second, that the resumption fund Is a
part of the general balance In the treas
ury and may be applied to current ex
penditures. Congress neglected to cure the defects
pointed out by me es secretary of the
treasury in 1880. but I hope will correct
them now at the request of the president.
It was not then anticipated hat a de
ficiency, of revenue would occur or that
It It did occur the government would use
a fund specifically pledged for another
purpose to meet current liabilities.
. Notes once redeemed should only be
reissued for gold coin, and such reissue
should be mandatory when coin Is de
manded In the treasury. As the term
"lawful money" Includes gold coins, there
Is a disposition by timid banks to convert
their United States notes Into coin, thus
aiding n depleting the redemption reserve.
This ought to be prevented by a provision
of law that the bank reserve of lawful
money shall be United State notes or
treasury notes only. National banks are
the creation and Instruments of the gov.
eminent and ought not to be allowed to
discredit the money with which they cun
redeem their own notes, nor should the
government Itself be permitted In any way
lo weaken the credit and ooutldence of the
people In their paper money by using it
for current expenses In excess f cm rent
revenues.
Practically a Fraud.
It Is a practical fraud for the govern
ment to use these notes for such iur
posfui, and It never has been done except
during this administration. Every dollar
thus taken is un Impairment of the re
demption fund. It is the mUtappltcaton of
a fund specially created by law for an
other purpose. The effect Is to destroy
contldence in the credit and safety of our
paper currency. It has added to the de.
inand for gold coins for the United States
notes. I do not believe that has been the
design of the executive branch of the gov
ernment, but that has been its effect, and
should be prevented by the Immediate ac
tion of congress. The resumption fund la
the safeguard of the money of the people
and Its use for any other purpose Is a
practical repudiation of the public faith.
The president complains that tho notes
are presented and paid, reissued and paid
again, making a continuous circuit. When
did this circuit commence?. The only
answer Is when the administration, sup
ported by the last congress, created a de
ficiency. Why does the circuit continue?
It Is because the deficiency continues. The
government resorts to the financial poli
cy of Mlcawber. It gives Its bonds and
thinks the debt paid. But the circuit con
tinues. The money received for current
revenue is paid to cover deficiencies and
Is returned for gold and then more bonds.
The sercretary hopes that In two or three
years there will be no deficiency. What
Is the ground f this hope? Is It that a
new administration will provide more rev
enue and then the circuit will be broken?
Why not apply the remedy now?
I believe that under existing law the
aggregate sum of United States notes
and treasury notes Issued under the act
of 1890, amounting to about 34HO.OU0.O0O, can
be easily mulntalned at par with coin If
the two amendments I have mentioned are
adopted by congress. These notes are a
legal tender for all debts, public or private.
They are a debt of the United States with,
out Interest and without other material
cost to the government than the Interest
or the cost of tho coin on bullion held In
the treasury to redeem them. They are
preferred by the people to any other form
of paper money that has been devised.
They have all the sanctions of law and
all the security that has been or can he
given by our bonds. They have the pledge
of the public faith that they will be re
deemed In coin. The substitution of these
notes for state bank paper money Is one
of the greatest benefits that has resulted
from the civil war. These notes have all
had the sanction, protection and security
that has been or can be given to our na
tional bank notes, with the added benefit
that 'the large saving derived from them
Inures to the people of tho United States
Instead of the bankers.
Free Silver Dangers. '
The disposition of silver certificates Is
a much more serious problem. They are
In express terms redeemable in silver dol
lars. While the silver dollars are main
tained at par with gold It would seem that
there was no Injustice in paying the silver
dollars for silver certificates. Then comes
up tho question of free culnage of silver,
which I regard as the most dangerous pol
icy. All these are vital questions which I
do not wish to mingle with the pressing
recommendation of the president In his
last annual message, "that authority be
given the secretary of the treasury to Is
sue bonds of 'the United States beating
a low rate of Interest, payable by their
terms In gold, for the purpose of main
taining a Hiitllclent gold reserve and ulso
for the redemption and cancellation of
outstanding United States notes and the
treasury notes Issued for the purchase of
silver under the law of 1890." He recom
mends the exchange of gold interest
bearing bonds for the legal tender noteB of
the United States, and the substitution of
national bank notes as our only currency.
He Is supported In this by large und Influ
ential classes of our fellow-citizens, most
of them engaged In banking or classed as
capitalists. Their arguments mainly rest
upon the difficulties encountered by the
administration In malting a reserve In
coin to redeem United States notes. They
forget that during a period of fourteen
years, when the revenues of the govern
ment exceeded the expenditures, and when
the public debt was being reduced with un
exampled rapidity, there was no difficulty
In maintaining our notes at par with coin.
There Is scarcely a doubt but that In all
probable conditions of trade or finance,
except the contingency of war, the whole
mass of the United States notes now in
circulation can be maintained at par with
coin if it It supported by a reserve of gold
coin or bullion or silver bullion in duo pro
portons equal to one-third or one-fourth of
the amount of such notes.
Our System Excellent.
A careful study of the systems of bank
ing, currency and coinage accepted by the
principal nations of Europe convinces me
that our system, when cured of a few de.
fects developed by time, founded upon the
bimetallic coinage of gold and silver main
tained at par with each other, with free
national banks established In every city
and town of Importance In the United
States Issuing their notes, secured beyond
doubt by United States bonds or some
equivalent security redeemable on de
mand In United States notes and the Issue
of an amount of United States notes and
treasury notes equal to the amount now
outstanding with provision for a natlonul
Increase with the Increase of population,
always redeemable In coin supported by an
ample reserve In coin In the treasury
not to be Invaded by deficiencies of rev
enue and separated by the sub-treasury
system from all expenditures of the gov
ernmentsuch a system would make our
money current In commercial circles In
every land and clime, better .than the best
that now exists In Europe, better than
that of Great Britain, which now holds the
purse strings of the world.
It Is not given to man to foresee with
certainty the future, but If we may Judge
the future by the past, the growth and
progress of our country will continue, the
diversity and extent of Our Industries will
expand, the vast plains of our broad ter
ritory will be teeming with population.
The rapid growth of our cities, unexam
pled In the history of mankind, will con
tinue. A century spans the life of the
Republic, wlimt will the next century do?
I have seen great changes In my life, but
those who come after us will see greater
changes still. I may on some proper occa
sion herafter give the reason for my faith
in our present financial system. All I ask
now Is that you will not disturb It with
your detlclenclea, you will not rob It of
Its safeguards, you will not return to the
days of wild-cat money, you will not
lessen the prudent labor or the accumula
tions or the rich. Time makes all things
even. Let us give to the executive author
ities ample means to meet the appropria
tions you have made, but let us strength
en, rather than weaken our monetary sys
tem, which lies at the foundation of our
prosperity and progress.
UEHRING SEA QUESTION.
Reasons Why England Is Delaying Action
on the Proposed Treaty.
London, Jan. 6. Referring to the
Chronicle's statement that the proposed
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, providing for a commis
sion to assess damages sustained by
Canadian sealers under the Behrtng
Sea award, was being intentionally de
layed by the government in London,
one of the high officials of the Foreign
Office today declared that the proposed
treaty did, not reach the Foreign Office
until the second week In December, ana
that It was impossible to duly consider
such an Important matter In the midst
of the holiday season, especially when
more pressing affairs were occupying
the attention of the government Before
the government could approve such a
convention the high law officers must
examine it and It must have the sanc
tion of the Colonial secretary, who had
had so far, no opportunity to examine
It.
The Chronicle's statement that $425,
000 was awarded by the Behrlng sea
Commission is, ot course. Inaccurate, as
no award was made, but the matter was
left for subsequent adjustment between
the two countries.
BURNED HER BOY TO DEATH.
Mrs. Ellis Set Fire to the flonse In the
Hope of Killing Her Husband.
New Orleans, Jan. 6. At Sylvarena,
Smith county. Miss., the house of An
drew Ellis was destroyed by Are two
nights ago, and one child, aged ten
years, was burned to death. ' The Are
was of Incendiary origin, and the Incen
diaries in the case were Mrs. Martha
Ellis, mother of, the boy, and James
Gamage, her paramour. Mrs. Ellis left
her husband some time ago and was
living with Gamage. The two conspired
to kill the deserted husband, and while
Mrs. Ellis set Are to the house, Gamago
stood hidden at the front dour to shoot
him as he ran out.
It so happened that Ellis was not at
home that night, but her four boys were.
Three of them escaped from the burn
ing building without serious injury, but
the youngest perished in the flames.
When Carnage wnj arrented on sus
picion he at once confessed the part he
hud taken In the crime In the promise
that the mob would not burn him to
death. He and Mrs. Ellis were both
carried to Raleigh and placed In the
county jail to protect them from vio
lence. '
CHURCH ON 1 IRE.
Conflagration at Harrlsburg Caused by a
Defective Flue.
Harrlsburg, Jan. 6. A fire, caused by
a defective Hue, was discovered in the
St. Paul's Methodist church on Vine
street about 8.30 o'clock this morning
by some early worshippers.
The prompt arrival of the fire depart
ment kept the fire from spreading but
the firemen were compelled to flood the
Interior before the Ilames could be sub
dued. The loss is considerable but has
not yet been fixed.
A Negro Knighted.
London, Jan. 6. Among the New
Tear honors conferred by the queen
was the bestowal of knighthood on May
or Lewis of Freetown, the capital ot
Sierra Leone. Mayor Lewis, who is
also an unofficial member of the legis
lative council. Is a pure-blooded negro.
This Is the first time that the honor of
knighthood has been bestowed on one
of his race.

fire. Consists of White Domet Flannels, Outing Flannels in checks and stripes,
Single and Double Napped Cheviots, Grey Domet Flannels, etc.,
Lot 1.
2k 3c
These goods are all worth from 6c to 15c per yard.
The bulk of the stuff is in first-class condition, only a small percentage being
slightly damaged by smoke and water, not enough, however, to seriously
affect the value of the goods.
In connection with this sale of the Appleton fire goods we propose to conduct a
special Clean-Up Sale for the next three weeks in all departments previous to our
semi-annual inventory.
The economically inclined buyer and the bargain hunter will find goods and prices
to their entire satisfaction during this sale!
Watch the papers for special announcements from time to time.
