which would give private individual
the power to issue money.
MIR. Harter (dem.) Ohio, character
ICES the presidents banking scheme
as a good long step in the right di
rection, but personally he thought he
ought to 60 further. The govern
ment, in his opinion, ought not tc
guarantee the payment of nationa
bank notes or of any corporations.
Mr.. Daley, (dem.) Texas, is op.
posed to the government becoming
a surety for the promissory notes Of
any business corporation even
though it be bank.
Sen. Mitchell (rep.) Ore: ellis
whole financial scheme is impossible
1t is position simply tending to old
wild CATS"
Sen. blanchard (dem.) La: 81 ap-
prove of the state banks recommend
alton. am opposed to the repeal
OF 8 and LILO of a cent differential on
sugar for the reason that "A per cent
of 100000 pounds of sugar pro-
duced in Louisiana shares in the diff.
ferential."
Sen. Hansbrough (rep.) N. d.: 81
have heard the president is suffering
from the gout and the message con-
firms it,"

his recommendation for an increase
in the navy, but am opposed to his
free ship proposition"
Sen. Villas (dem) Wis: cit is a

ument."
Mr.. Reed of Maine had nothing to
say regarding the message.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan ditto.
Gen. Catchings, (dem) Miss, one
Of the committee on rules, strongly
endorsed the presidents financial
views.
HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
OF the democratic members of the
senate committee on finance, Voor-
hees, Harris and Vest asked to be
excused from expressing any opinion
on the financial views advanced by
the president, and senator Jones, Ar
kansas, would only repeat what he
has heretofore said, that he did not
believe any financial Legislation
could be possible during the present
session.
Republican members of the com
mittee were almost as disinclined to
talk as their democratic colleagues.
Sen. Sherman would not 90 furth-
er than to say that the message con-
tanned nothing striking.
Sen. Allison declared il WAS not a
time for republicans to take the lead.
Sen. Brice (dem.) Ohio: ''Tbe Bal
tlmore plan strikes me as a pure
dream. Its adoption would certain
ly demoralize the finances of the
country
TELLER AND STEWART.
Sen. Teller: 81 cannot see that the
message offers any relief to the coun-
try, and it appears to me as if the
president failed to comprehend the
conditions either financially or polit-
ically."
Sen. Stewart: ''The financial plan
in Cleveland's message stripped of
verbage means that the United
States shall give bankers s75 for
$3.50. ANY bank that will deposit
s22. 90 of legal tender, whether
greenbacks or treasury notes, will re-
ceive s75 of our government money,
a cunning way to retire greenbacks.
1t removes all restrictions of the
banking law against expansion and
contraction by the banks to enable
Them and their associates to rig the
market"
