we'll at the Union League Club IN New York on
the evening of the 10Th inst, he made the fol-
lowing remarks, rs reported by the New York
Times: ...r .s.. .-
''He said there were two Things necessary
to give our country the strongest and most en-
viable position In the world. These were, first,
to secure the payment OF the national debt in
gold without qualification or equivOcatiOD;
and secondly, to secure the adoption of the
fifteenth amendment, neither of which events
was be disposed to consider in doubt. The
Secretary said that he had reason to believe
that if he had the authority, a good share OF cur
debt could now be funded at four and One-half,
perhaps four per cent. and when our interest
account was reduced to SlU0,OOO0O0. we should
have surplus from our present resources OF
from $50 900 90 to S70,lL 70 co., winch would make
it very easy to take care of the demand debt.
And that at our present rate Of taxation he be-
ieved our whole debt would be paid of in
twelve years. 49,.
"The Secretary also observed that whoever
does anything to impair confidence in the abii-
ty and disposition OF the country to pay its
debts adds TO the burden of taxation of the
people, by compelling them to pay a so much
higher rate of interest.
"The Secretary also said that since he took
Office nothing had been done, and if he could
help it nothing should be done, for the purpose
Of giving any one opportunities Of making.
money out of the governments operations
That could not always be prevented, but it
should never occur through the aid or eohni-
vance of his department. Bad men would
sometimes get into office, and that could not be
helped. None weresthere if he could prevent
il none were appointed because they were
bad"
In addition to the above, the New YOrk Post
hp5 tvh that K
plicitly declared that he will continue to apply
so much of the receipts OF the government as
shall be in excess of its expenses to the rednc
ton of the public debt.
