~ ~ - 49, IN 4 - - Afofo = mn
Secretary Of Treasury Carlisle has
been compelled to adopt the advice
of old John Sherman, as recently
expressed by him in the Senate.
When repeating the silver bill Mr..
Sherman very forcibly argued that
bonds wonld have to be issued to
meet current expenses, especially as
all industries were more or less par
alyzed by the continued tinkering
with the tariff. The Wilson bill
will not meet expenses anyhow. Mr..
Carlisle has therefore decided to is
sue bonds to the extent of fifty mill
lions of dollars, and strange to say
the money is in the country to take
them up and has already been offer
ed. But that amount of money will
not go far in this large government.
