bis concurrence in some OF its views. The
currency question, Aaron's rod, swallow
ed up ALI other topics but there was one
topic which he contemplated with sorrow
The President called our attention 10 The
plan for bringing 10 a successful termination
the Florida war. He had this plan, and il
was a miserable pretence for doing nothing
He would tell the President that his plan
would not terminate the war This was a
vital question with the South, and, if for no
other reason, he would denounce this ad.
ministra,ion for its imbecile conduct of tina,
war. As 10 the financial condition and pros.
poets Of the country, the message was de:ep-
tive. grossly deceptive. The expenditures
Of 1910 would not be within 20 nor rs mill
ions nor would the revenue be so great as
the Secretary of the Treasury estimated,
by several millions. His life for il, the de-
hciency Tor IS4U, which must be met by
loans or Treasury notes. would be ten mill
ioai The resources of the country were
exaggerated by the Message. The public
lands for some years would be worth little
or nothing. The spectators had vast tracts
to sell, and would sell on credit while we
sold for cash and for paper, while we de.
manded silver or gold. He also censured
the President for not expressing his views Of
the Tariff question. He commented on the
financial projects ofthe Message, and said
il was now clear, though i. had formerly
been denied, that the Presidents policy was
to put down all banks and bank paper, and
substitute haId currency. He had hereto.
fore predicted that the project would be ru-
nous TO the South and it now appeared
that, while the South was drained and fam.
ished, the city Of New York fattened on it.
South Carolina was unanimously, in favor
Of the ub.1'reasury. but. so far from being
in favor ofthe hard currency, she lately re-
fused TO pass law forcing her banks 10 re-
resume specie payment South Carolina aud
Georgia were in favor OF banks and bank
paper, as their recent acts proved. though
they still advocated The Sub-Treasury.
Alter Mr. Thompson had closed the pre-
vious question was moved. when Mr. II. at
the suggestion OF some Of his friends, with.
drew his motion TO reconsider.
