honorable members Of Congress during the
recess was shown by the introduction on
Monday Of eighty one bills and Joint rcsolu-
tons in the House and nineteen in the SEN
ate, but one measure in each body was OF a
financial character. That OF Mr.. Williams,
OF Oregon, in the Senate, is brief, and is in
the line OF the Presidents suggestions. 1t
authorizes the Secretary Of the Treasury to
buy up greenbacks at the market value on the
present basis Of one dollar in gold for one dol
lar and twenty cents in currency. That OF Mr..
Palmer Of Iowa, in the House, was long, and
drawn after careful consultation with Trea-
sury officials. 1t authorizes free banking on

lation issued under this act. Bankers are
