WAsHtNGroN, u. o., July a.
Hewitt Of New York in opposing the
surplus resolution to-day said he con-
sidered that the action Of the Committee
on Ways and Means and the Committee
on Rules was declaration of War
against the administration. II the reso.
. lutions should be adopted, however, he
ahould regard 1t as vote Of want Of con.
fidenos In the policy Of tho sdninistra-
ton. The Dsmccratic party believed in
honest money, and the President Of the
United States when he accepted the
nomination. Of his party planted himself
squarely on its platform. Ia conclusion
ne thus summed up his objections to
the resolution; -Four months after
IL passage the country would
be brought back to the condition
In which IL had been on the 4th Of
March, 1885. and gold would be with
drawn from circulation. The moment
that occurred millions Of men would
lose their daily employment then
demand would come for grcenbacks and
q struggle for sound currency would end
In Hat money. The policy Of the ad-
ministration was to keep gold and silver
married for better or for worse, one as
good as the other. Neither the better
half Of the other, but whom the time
comes that choice must b. made be-
tween them, the President Of the United
States would adhere as he had promised
and sworn to do to that standard OF
value, which paid the debts In the. value
intended At the time the debts were
contracted
Weaver, Of lows, said that the only
trouble with the resolution was that 1t
did not 70 far enough. II simply said
in effeot, "oome. let rs set up 800, Co.,,
900 for any emergency that may arise
and pay the balance on cur debt"
Could there be more conservative and
reasonable proposition made? He con-
tended that the bonds were not intended
to b. payable In gold only and charged
that the bonds had shirked taxation for
4 quarter Of . century.
Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylvania. said
this was not : silver QUESTION at al. It
We . quulion a. b whether We had
mo!ey In The treasury undispo,sd Of and
claim to the extent of fifty or seventy
million dollars that might be used 10 the
liquidation OF the public debt.
Payson Of Illinois said there was in
the United States Treasury balance Of
10000, eco for which there was con-
fesssdly no use. To-day every dollar Of
1t represented the acquisition Of toll and
labor of this country. Standing against
II was debt subisct to interest that we
might pay, and yet bscause there were
fssrfuf iorebodings aud lagubrious sp-
prshensions of what might perhaps come
about il portion Of this money Is used,
the House was asked to simply stand
still and burn the candle at both ends
Mckinley, OF Ohio, said that this
resolution, coming as II did from the
Democratic majority in one branch Of
the government, addressed to Demo
cratic executive 10 control Of another
branch was, to say the least. an ex.
csption, and remarkable. 1t was
Z proposition TO compel the Pres
idsnt Of the United States and
Secretary Of the Treasury to do that
which they had always the power to do
and whioh they now had authority to
do under section 2 Of the Set Of March
