Senator Washburn viii Nst Introduce -
Measure In the Senate.

Senator washburn VIII Net Introduce 49,
Measure In h senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - Senator
Washburn Of Minnesota, who pressed
the a~nti-option bill in the last congress,
will not introduce the measure in the
senate, because the bill on its face is to
raise revenue and must originate in the
house. Senator Washburn has been dis
cussing with constitutional lawyers a
bill which would directly prohibit deal
ing in options, as he wanted, If possible,
to present a bill of that kind which
would receive the support of many SEN
ators who do not believe in using the
taxing powers to prevent dealing in
futures. He has concluded that such a
bill cannot be successfully maintained,
and that the %anti-option bill must
be based OF the prohibition or
restriction by legislation. This being
the case the bill must first pass the
house. Chairman Hatch of the agri-
cultural committee says that he will not
attempt to introduce this bill until after
the holidays, as it has shown decidedly
that there must be a quorum of the
house favorable to the bill present before
it can be referred to this committee. The
raising of the point of M quorum on the
reference of the pure food bill shows him
that he could not proceed without the
friends of the bill being in attendance.

be the duty Of all who have power to
influence the course Of events or
to assist, by legislation or other
wise, in the solution of
the grave questions presented by the
altered condition Of our monetary sys-
tenn, to carefully consider the whole
subject in all its aspects, in order that it
may be permanently disposed of by the
adoption of a simple and comprehensive
system, which will, as far rs possible,
relieve the government from the onerous
obligations now resting upon it, and at
the same time secure for the use of the
people a currency uniform in value and
adequate in amount.
The secretary devotes the remainder
of this topic to the different kinds OF
currency and the desirability of retiring
some kinds and issuing more of others
1t is not of general public interest.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

She Secretary Thinks 1t Wise to Await
Developments.
The recent repeal of SO much of the
act of July IA, 1890, as required the Sec
rotary of the treasury to purchase silver
bullion and issue treasury notes in pay
ment for it, makes such radical change
in the policy Of the government respect
ing the currency of the country, that
until its effects are more fully devel.
oped, l do not consider it advisable to
recommend further specific legislation
upon that subject.
Too Much Money.
That the amount of money in the
country is greater than is required for
the transaction of tho business Of the
people at this time is conclusively shown
by the fact that it has accumulated, and
is still accommodating, in the financial
centers to such an extent as to consti-
tute a serious embarrassment to the
banks in which 1t is deposited, many Of
which are holding large sums at a loss.
This excessive accumulation of currency
at particular points is caused by the
fact that there is no such demand
for it elsewhere as will enable the banks
and other institutions to which it be-
longs to loan it to the people at remun-
~srative rates, and it will continue until
the business of the country has more
fully recovered from the depressing eff.
fects of the recent financial disturbances.

was referred to the committee on
finances. Senator Hoar presented a
unique petition on the subject of good
roads. The petition, which he said was
signed by about l50, 1000 citizens of the
United States, required the efforts of
several employees to wheel the immense
petition into the senate chamber. Mr..
Hoar stated that the petitioners had
caused very thorough investigation to
be made and had ascertained that enor-
nous savings could be made in the
transaction of commerce by an improve
! ment in the character of the roads. The
petition, he said, was signed by the gov
m OF II states, by many state OFF,
cials, and in Massachusetts, was endorsed
by the legislature. He asked that the
petition he referred to the committee on
interstate commerce.
