Said Representative Jerry Simpson
today. speaking of Secretary Carlisle's
proposed bond issue: Its an internal
outrage ard inexcusable. There Is no
r .ason why the administration cannot
tide over any embarrassment in the
matter OF revenue and expenditure
without paying interest on the loan,
Pm there are a hundred millions OF
dollars il Wall street lying idle, for
which some use must be found. The
owners can't put them into manufac-
turing or commercial investments, so
the government is TO sell bonds that
interest. which the money cannot
get in any other way, shall be
provided by the people at large. /
an satisfied that Mr. Carlisles action
will aid in destroying the democratic
party. And it is bad feature that he
is proposing to issue bonds by piece
meal instead of in a sum sufficient to
meet all liabilities. 1t is part of the
policy that leads the democratic major
ity in the House to destroy the robber
tariff by 20 per cent. reductions. The
argument Of the kind. hearted dog own
er, who cut of the animals tail an inch
at time so il wouldn't hurt so bad, Is
still in force.

pose ofthc seigniorage bill reportedfrom

will be sufficient, to tide over any deficit
in the Treasury for the next twelve

ofthe certificates. After the coinageoi the
seigniorage, the remainder is to be coin
ed as lapidly as practical for the re-
demptiou OF the notes issued under the
Sherman Act. The notes will not be
issued again but viii be cancelled and
silver certificates take their place.
