could be reached respecting the limit of
general debate, and it was begun under
the rules.
MIR. Henderson of Iowa devoted his at
tention to the item of $240,000 for the
payment of special pension agents. He
antagonized the item and said it would

ton for that class of employees this year
the unprecedented sum Of $500, 600
Mr.. Bartlett of New York spoke against
the item appropriating $245, 095 to exc
cute the law for the collecting of the in
come tax. He made II legal argument
against the constitutionality of the tax,
and said it was important to the inter
ests of his city and state that the execu-
ton of the law be prevented. In his
| opinron, the party which passed the tar
| iff bill with the income tax attached,
made a great mistake in party policy.
Mr. r.Cockran of New York made Wig
orous protest against the principle of
! taxation involved. He objected to the
Ievyine of tax on only $4,000 people,
and said Iegi station levelled against the
nrosperity and success in life had been
condemned by the people.

Washington. December 2.-Representative
Dingley of Maine, speaking today of the
agitation in favor of the new banking bill
said: "A1l the business men of the country

supervision, uniform throughout the
country and utterly opposed to any
scheme ofkstate bank whether associated
with national banking as proposed by Mr..
Carlisle or separate as proposed at the last
session of Congress-
What do you think of Carlisle's pla n?"
Mr.. Dingley was asked.
A fatal defect of Carlisle's plan is that it
undertakes to unite the state banks with
the national bank circulation, and even
discriminates against bank circulation by
providing for tax upon notes issued by the
national banks, and exempting notes issued
by state banks from such a tax or any
supervision of the national authority" Its

the Democratic administration has declared
its adhesion to the sound policy of relying
upon bank circulation outside of coin to
secure the necessary elasticity of oircula-
ting medium
"Do you think were Carlisle's plan 10
come before Congress in the form of q bill
it would pass?''
II can't say" replied Mr. Dineley,
shaking his head doubtfully. 'Its state
bank feature would receive strong support
from Southern members especially. and in
fact from all representatives who believe in
such banking system"
