that the COMMITTEES on finance had
thought il wise TO receive further
gorsiag fund of $50 100000. Hav-
ing referred 10 the speech delivered
bY SsustOr Beck last December, which
exposed. lie said, the shame of tie De
mOcratic policy,
He Was asked BY Mcpherson tC
state what he meant by thst remark
aud h. explained his meaning 10 bS
this: That the Democratic Edministra-
ton had come into PO yer by crit
cIsing adversely the iinanlial policy
of Its predecessors and sayinE
that more money was held ia
the treasury than was necessary "a
carry on the ordinary operations of the
government and TO maintain paper
money at par; that from the 4th OF
March 10 the 29th of December. the
Democratic administration had reversed
he policy # The Republican admins
trauon. and instead Of paying the sur
plus on the public debt had accumulated
more than So. 0O0, 900 in the IT asury
over and above the proper reserve, and
ihstiy was only the speech OF the SEN
Ator from Kentucky that put q stop 70
that policy and caused the trst call
for 100000 TO be issued. The
House resolution, he said. utterly
ana absolutely condemned the fiuancisl
p Icy o the administration. The Sen
ate COMMITTEES OF finance had nullinei
and sugET-coated in some respects this
condemnation, still it also proposed TO
condemn that policy. II would stand
condemned before the country
whether the resolution should be
amended or not
The consideration OF the surplus
resolution Hss resumed and Beck pro-
ceeded to address the Senate. Inc
Senators on the other side. he sald
