WASHINGTON April 9. 1912.


CoNGREss-1n the Senate to-day, the amend
mcnt of Mr. Walker to pledge the lands for the
payment of the debt and interest on the now loan,
was rejected. Messrs. Archer and Preston,
who voted for that identical proposition but a
few days since, as proposed by Mr. Rvc's rcso-
luton, by their votes to-day defeated it, when
given the effected character of an enactment.
Mr.. Woodbury. made an elaborate and power
full exposition ofthe immediate and practical con-
sequences ofthc mode of financcring now adopt
cd by the majority. lie compared the past with
the present state of the public credit and pointed
out, with Il precision which his familiarity with
the subject rendered as easy to him, as it proved
uneasy to his opponents, the course Of manage
mcnt which produced the different results.
Mr. Preston replied 10 Mr. w. and ran back
into the old slang about the amount expended by
the late Administration, by way Of calling of at
tcntion from the wauton extravaganza of the par
ty now in power. But lie forgot to mention the
notorious fact the Wing party, during Mr.. Van
Burcn'S administration, constantly labOrcd TO in
crease the appropriations beyond tho estimates of
the Executive officers, and in this way TO create
the expenditures, which it was their policy 10 ac-
cumulatc to the utmost 1t was their policy
then, to create debt, as it is now, that their
great measures of Il high tariff and National Bank
nlgnt DC Callcu lor-tilc one 10 provide Tie IN
tcrcst-thc other 10 mpart credit and facilities
to favor the negotiation of loan:-and both to
build up the morcd power and party in the coun-
try. There never was log-roling money bill
in either House, during the last Administrator,
that was not so contrived by the Wings as to
catch few Democratic votcs-cnough 10 carry
it-and then it uniformly received the support of
the great body Of that party who were constant
" crying out against the Executwc-who oppos-
ell these cytravaganccs-ior a want of economy.
We published in 1896 or '37 series of articles,
vouchng the journal at every STEP exposing this
Machiavcan policy of the Wings. We shall
hereafter rccur to the subject to show that the
policy which they have now given the rcins TO-,
being in power, they spurrcd on the utmost,
when out of power. Let the nation never forget
that Wing policy requires deDI, bank, mrV;
and this will be a key TO labyrinth of embarrass-
| ment into which they have led the Government,
while pretending that their simple economy
would provide for the conduct of public affairs
with thirteen millions year.
Mr.. Young of Illinois concluded the debate in
a few brief but most pertinent and striking re-
marks.-GlOJe.

We take the following sensible remarks from

The prospect Of any change in the character OF
