did not provide for an accumulation

The President in his recent message
said that the resumption bill OF las. .ses-
sion would not effect its purpose unless it
be modified. The Secretary OF the Treas.
ury said SO, and now the Senator from
Vermont says so.
Mr.. Morrill, said he hoped the Senator
'(Bogy) would not misreresent him; he
(Morrill) believed that the power given
By legislation last session was abundant,
but the passage OF the bill introduced by
him would make resumption easier.
Bogy said he waS in favor OF specie re-
sumption; that he was not an infationist,
but would continue to oppose any attempt
at reputation which could in the re-
motest degree bring about contraction
in paper money. We know that
he was not in love with paper money, but
the business OF. the country would not
suffer contraction. He looked upon the
bill Of the Senator (MorrilD as one OF
contraction. lie (Bogy) looked upon it
as something terribly bad, and he moved
that the subject bc postponed until the
first Tuesday in February.
Mr.. Morrill, said he hoped the Senator
would not ask for a postponement to
that time, and he moved to amend the
motion SO that further consideration OF
the subject should be postponed until
next Monday.
