PRISON PRODUCTION.
A Plan by Which Honest Labor Will GET

Plan by Which Honest Labor Will Get
It's Dues.
ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 15.--John I. Nc
Donough, delegate-at-large to the
Constitutional convention, denies the
statement of Superintendent of Prisons
Lathrop that the new section of the
constitution prohibiting competitive
prison labor will in any way compel
all of the prisoners in the institution to
remain idle. He says: ''The prisons of
the state can be employed the year
around with active employment if the
superintendent will put them at the
work of making articles for the prison
ers themselves, and for the $4,000 pris-
oners now cared for in the various
charitable institutions of the state.
Then large number of them can be
put at work on the roads of the state.
England does not sell the product of
her prison labor, and neither does
France. On Blackwell's island, in this
state, none of the products of the pris-
soners' labor are sold, and yet the pris-
oners are kept at work

democrats will do everything poss;ble
to rush Il through the house. Mr..
Springer. however. will find r. exceed
inplv hard to push the bill as reported.
Already a large number of the mem
bers have expressed their determine
ton to offer amendments to the bill.
and beyond doubt a number of them
will be tackled onto the bill. and thus
block it's passage. Among the amend

and number which will be proposed
in the interests of a large number of
small banks, whose capital is only $780,
600 or 100000. A large number of
members of the house conduct or sup
port financially these small banks, and
they propose by this amendment to
permit government bonds and ap-
proved state bonds to be deposited by
the banks as security for the circula-
ton they issue.
The amount of circulation to be is
sued is not to be proportional to the as
sets of the bank, as proposed in the
Baltimore plan. The state bonds which
are to be used by the banks to guaran-
tee circulation are to be first approved
by the secretary Of the treasury and
the controller of the currency.
Mr.. Springer may find some aid in
trying to get his bill through the house
by the present condition of the gold re-
serve. On Monday, when the bill will
be introduced, the gold will be nearer
ninety million dollars than a hundred
millions, and Mr.. Carlisle will sadly be
in need of aid, but even this will not
allow the republicans to withdraw
their opposition, and sound money men
of the north will urge the house to
go slow.
