IN A DILEMMA.
Senators of Both Parties Perplexed on
the Bond-Purchase Bill.

the Bond-Purchase Bill.
Copyright, 1883, by The California associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 2d.-The Senate ap-
pears to be in a hopeless muddle over the
House bill which authorizes the Treasurer
to purchase bonds for disposal of the sur
plus in the Treasury. Amendments were
introduced by Senators Stewart, Plumb,
Beck and Others, that brought up the ques-
ton of future financial policy of the Gov
ernment, and the situation of affairs has
become so chaotic that Republican and
Democratic caucuses have been held, and
committees appointed by each to endeavor
to reach some satisfactory solution of the
question.
Senator Stewart through fire. brand into
the Senatorial camp when he offered as an
amendment to the bill his proposition to
issue silver certificates on deposits of silver
bullion. The Senators who have followed
Sherman's guidance in financial legislation
tried to induce Stewart to withdraw his
amendment and allow the bill to pass in
its original form or be re-committeed to the
Finance Committee. This he refused.
This morning there was Caucus of Dem
ocratic Senators, who were in about as
much of a panic as the Republicans, and
Senator Beck, in the interest of harmony,
agreed to withdraw all of his amendments
if one that would be acceptable to the
President could be agreed upon. 1t was
believed that if the bill. in the shape it
passed the House. should become law,
many national banks would surrender their
circulation in order to sell the bonds at
high premium, thereby causing a severe
contraction of currency.

The Minority Report Against the Ways
and Means Committees Bill


and Means Committees BIZ.
WASHINGTON. April 2d-The minority
report of the Committee on Ways and
Means against the Mills tariff bill occupies
almost twice the space of the majority re-
port in favor of the bill. 1t was written by
Major Mckinley of Ohio, one of the mi
nority members of the committee, and is
now in the hands of the Public Printer.
The report begins with a severe criticism
on the manner in which the Mills bill was
compiled. 1t states that the minority were
never consulted till the bill was laid before
the full committee in complete form, and
then it was voted through by strict party
lines, no opportunity being given the mi
nority to be heard. The manufacturers of
the country were refused hearing by
majority of the Commission, as were also
the workingmen and mechanics, although
they are most directly interested. A few
manufacturers known to be in favor of Just
what the majority wanted, and few VINO
welded
POTENTIAL DEMOCRATIC INFLUENCE,
Were given a clandestine hearing by the
majority of the committee. Then, to cap
the climax of shutting the mouths of the
people, members of Congress were refused
hearing by majority of the committee
The report then enters upon review of the
bill, showing how it will not reduce the
revenues, except by transfers to the free
list. The reductions and rebates in Gus
toms dues will but have the effect of keep
ing up the present inflow of surplus.
THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
The talk and no-work policy of the
Democratic party in Congress is given a
hard blow. The report states that during
the time the Republicans have had control
of Congress, from 1869 tc 1888, they re-
| duced the income over 500, goo 900 a year,
but though the Democrats have had con-
troll often and during this period, they
have never reduced the tariff penny.
They have been crying tariff reform
| vigorously and campaigning upon it for
| the last five years, when they have had a
| majority of the House of Representatives,
| and yet they have not passed ariff bill
| and will not.
SECTIONAL SLIGHT.
| The Mills bill is declared to be a sectional
slight The cut it makes on sugar rice
and other Southern products are pointed
out, while its inroads on farm and other
| products of the North and the West are
cited in very impressive way. Free wool
| is given extended comment and is treated
| as one of the sectional provisions by which
| the South strikes at the North.
REASONABLE REDUCTION FAVORED.
The minority state that the Republican
party favors reasonable reduction of the
| tariff, but that it should be made with re-
spect to the interests of manufacturers and
labor prote ction in general, with fair re-
| gard to Government income, that there
| should be impartiality as to the sections of
| country as well as interests, and this cannot
| be done without full, free and impartial
| hearing from those most interested
Altogether the report is strong Re
publican document and is intended to
meet the approval of all the element in the
party.
