Polntment OF inspectors Of tobacco and

IN relation to the immediate TRANSPORT
alton of dutiable goods Passed.
Kelly, OF Pennsylvania. called MP the

20 tne immediate transportation Of

Morrison called up AID the House

titled spirits.
On motion OF Morrison, the bill was
passed reducing to $3.50 with an ado
tional $50 for each person employed in
making cigars, the amount Of the
bond 70 manufacturers of cigars.
The House then went into committee
OF the whole on the joint resolution di-
recting the payment OF the surplus in
the Treasury on the public debt.
Following Is the text of the resolu-
ton:
ResOlued, That whenever the surplus or
balance in the Treasury. including the
amount held Tor the redemption Of United
States notes, shall exceed the sum of SiOO.-
100000, IL shall be and is hereby made the
duty OF the Secretary of the Treasury TO
apply such excess, in sums of not less than
100000 per month, during the existence
/ of such surplus of arrears to the payment OF
/ the Understanding Indebtedness OF the
/ United States payable at the option of gov
eminent.
Morrison said that counting the re
| serve at $4,000, 600, there was still a
surplus in the Treasury of SIOO. 900 600;
of this about S2S,OOO,OOO was un-
available, being made up of
fractional coin, so that ali this
money that would be reached under
this resolution would be about $40 OOO.-
600. Ii would make productive that
which was now unproductive, and IN
less it would do something towards
making money little cheaper, il would
save the government something in in
terest, and more than tn {, il would
take away some of that temptation
which led men to vote large aopropria-
tons and make improyident expendl-
lures. He criticised the report of the
minority and denied the statement
therein made that the effect Of the reso-
! luton would be TO shake public conf
dence.
Mr.. Morrison admitted that he
could conceive that Il might be that for
a very short time the SlO0. 900, 900 might
possibly be trenched uDOn. Suppose a
call was made today, when theie was
500, COG, 900 in the Treasury, and to-
morrow $1,000, 900 of receipts was not /
enough TO meet Tomorrow obliga |
tons, the Sl00, O00. 900 redemption might |
have TO be trenched upon, but only To a 4
very small amount and for Il very short /
time. He argued that 500 600 900 was |
a sufficient redemption fund andpointed /
out the fact that only S10.O00,OOO was |
government to redeem the national /
bank notes il case OF the failure of /
banks, and in conclusion he. deemed /
that the purpose or effect of the So 1
luton was TO place the country Oh 4 |
silver basis.
Hiscock, OF New York. offered an
amendment. providing that nothing /
in the resolution shall authorize tie re-
ducton or payment Of any part OF the
l0,000 coo set apart for the payment of i
the United states notes or interest
bearing Indebtedness Of the United 4
States. He then proceeded 20 submit an
amendment in opposition to the rcsolu-
ton. declaring that il had been brought 1
before the House by the action OF a
Democratic Speaker, the Democra tic
chairman of the ways and means coal
mittee and the Democratic chairman OF
the appropriation committee, AGAINST
the most emphatic protest OF the Dem
OcTatic administration. There was Nc
diSs greement in the matter or detail.
There was difference as vide as that
between the two great political parties,
and there was an attempt on
the pat of Oe leaders Of the
House TO force the payment of
the national debt and obligation in
silver. to force the government in its
Enancial transactions TO a silver basis,
which the administration earnestly and I
dererminedly resisted. There was 2
declaration that United STATES buuis
should be in silver dollars and the
world would so understand il. 1t wss
practically impossible TO execute the
Joint resolution without using the
silver dollars. All of them, possibly
because all the surplus was IN silver.
He did not hesitate 10 say that
il was Reputation. Ii was a viO-
lation of the spirit Of the law TO
nav the bonds in silver. They could
NOT have been placed except on the assn
rance on the part Of the administration
hat they would be paid in gold. What
had Induced the Democratic party 10
the party who had placed 1t
IN power?
Morrison suggested, sin reply. that i
was none of his (Hiscook's) business.
NJ Hiscock-Is that your only an
swer? Is that the only answer the
Democratic leaders advertise that Why
they have departed from their admins
traiion Is none OF our bnslnesSf
That is the form of al expression
which was used most UNANIMOUSLY
once in the city of New York.
