Minister Widemann presented the
following answers to questions of
Rep. Smith relative to the issuance
of SO certificates:
D | have signed certificates of de
post of the denomination of ten dol
lars for the amount of ten thousand
dollars and they have been issued,
that is, passed out from the Treas
ury, on last Saturday. (2) They were
issued under mistake, as the law of
1890. in which the ten-dollar certifi-
Gates was omitted, was absolutely
unknown. Ignorance of the law, |
know full well, is no excuse for dis
obeying it, and must therefore take
all the blame due for this inadvertent
action of mine.
The Minister said, further, that it
was too late to retrace the steps
taken, when he was made aware of
this law, the issue had been begun.
Since then he had taken pains to re-
trieve the error and the bulk of the
issue had been returned and was now
again in the Treasury.
Noble Thurston said that the other
day he had felt called upon to call
| the Minister a ten-cent financier, but
he must acknowledge that rise of
100 percent had been made, and the
Minister should now be classified as
a Sl0-fnancier. Iaughter.)
