OUR CURRENCY.
Secretary Carlisle Preparing His
Report to Congress.
THE PLAN OF The SECRETARY.
NJ Wants to Retire All National Currency
end Relegate to Banks the Issuing
Of Notes for the Transaction
Of Business.


WARRINGTON, Nov. lo.-The SUBJECT
OF currency reform has been under con.
sideration BY President Cleveland ana
tho cabinet since the beginning OF his
present administration. 1t was dis
eussed freelyin the report OF the Sec
retary OF the treasury at the opening
OF the present congress, but at that
time the evils resulting from the oper-
stions OF the sherman law for the pur-
chase OF silver caused the president 70
direct attention TO the repeal OF that
lew, and It was given precedence before
Oh other questions at the extra session
OF congress. At the regular session the
tariff monopolized the attention OF con-
gress. These questions having now
been practically disposed OF, 1t Is un'
derstood that the secretary OF the
treasury will renew his recommended
tions Tor reforms In the currency legls'
lation, and that chapter OF the presi'
dents message will be devoted to that
subject 1t was to this that the presi-
dent referred in the statement which
he gave to the press Wednesday night,
wherein he said that he would indorse
end support whatever financial scheme
she secretary OF the treasury may
Formulate and present.
1t Is clear from the remarks OF the
secretary in his report to congress In
December, 1898, that he will favor leg
islation BY which the treasury depart
ment shall cease to be charged with
the duties and responsibilities OF a
bank Of issue and the function OF a
bank Of deposit. 1t Is understood that
the secretary will present o scheme for
she consideration of congress which
will contemplate the retirement OF all
OF the existing forms OF national cur
rency and relegate to the banks the is
suing OF notes for the transaction Of
the business OF the country such issue
70 be under the strictest governmental
supervision.
The secretary is OF the opinion that
20 long as the government continues
The unwise policy OF keeping Its own
notes outsta' .p2 to circulate as cur
rency and undertakes TO provide for
their redemption in coin on preseuta'
tion, II will be essential TOR the secre-
tary OF the treasury to possess the

plste Victory for the Government In the
Sugar Trust Cases.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5-Judge Coles
decision, ovcrruling the demurrer in
the case Of the sugar stock brokers in
dicted for refusing to answer senate
committee questions, Is held by the To-
cal bar to foreshadow complete vic
tory for the government and the estab-
lishment OF a precedent which will do
much to magnify the senate's preroga-
tive. The punishment for the offense
charged embraces both fine and i'm
prisonment, without discretion, by the
trial Judge, and, as Mr.. Havemeyer's
case stands on precisely the same issue
as those here involved II Judge Coles
decision Is not upset by the appellate
court, 1t logically means term in the
