ulaI distress and panic. the comptroller
Of the currency should not be compelled
30 drive national banks up 10 the strict
letter of the law. The president had
appointed as comptroller of the cur
rency man believed by him TO be a
clear-headed, capable man, who had not
been banker or Spectator or dealer in

it best whenever any national banks

ten days before ''poking into that Ques-
ton too much"
MIR. Voorhees, Dem, Ind. chairman
of the finance committee, favored the

the secretary of the treasury sending
information ''gratuit0uSly' to the sena-
tOrS-referring to Mr.. CarliSle's letter as

Kyle whether he knew that the Secre-
tary had not been addressed in writing

edge on the subject. Mr.. Vest, how,

that it was written after a conversation
with Mr.. Voorhees,. This senator eX-
pected that as chairman of the finance
committee he had called upon the sec
rotary of the treasury to ask him as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of silver coinage at the
ratio of 20 TO l. and after the converse.

sets (AIr. HOarl had said that it was
likely or probable that officer had in
some Slight aud trivial respect violated

MIR. Henderson Rep., Neb.) was moi
prepared TO say that the technical viola

But he did not agree with the senator
from Massachusetts that it was well t.
