REPRESENTATIVE MCCREARY,
who has long ago demonstrated his
right to position in the front rank
of the level-headed men of the
House, says of the currency reform
bill; There are some things in
the measure which | like, and many
which | do not approve, but take
the position that if the Secretary
of the Treasury and members of
the Banking and Currency Com
mittee say that this is step in the
right direction | an going to vote
for it. | think the Democrats
ought to stand together as a party
upon a measure which the admins
tration endorses. l have no idea
that the bill will pass the Senate,
but | want to see tn, House do its
duty. My own idea is, that when,
in the last days of the session it be-
comes apparent that there can be
no financial legislation, both Houses
will agree to a monetary commits
sion, such as l suggested in a bill
introduced some time ago"

CHAIRMAN WILSON ofthe House
Ways and Means Committee, ex-
poets that his bill for the repeal Of
the diff'erential duty on sugar i'm
ported from those countries which
pay an export bounty, will be re-
ported to the House and passed
soon after the recess. This is the
duty that Germany claims to be a
violation of the "most favored ma
ton" clause of the treaty with this
country, and which many believe
to be partially, if not wholly, res
ponsible for the action Germany
has taken and has caused Denmark
to take against American meat
There is little doubt that this bill
ought to speedily become law,
but, as Senator George said of what
the Senate would do after the re-
cess, "the business transacted will
be what small minority of this
body decide it shall be-"

If proof were needed that the
administration stands ready to meet
Congress more than half way on
any proposition looking towards
currency reform, it was given by
the readiness with which Secretary
Carlisle agreed to the substitute
for his bill proposed by the Demo
cratic members of the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.
The principal differences between
the substitute and the original bill
are, that national banks will have
the option of continuing to do bus
mess under their present charters
until they expire, or of recognizing
under the new law, and that they
are only responsible for the redemp.
ton of the notes issued to the ex-
tent of their quota to the safety
fund provided .for that purpose.
The bill will probably be further
amended before it is brought to a
vote in the House, as the present
expectation is that a Democratic
caucus will be held within a day or
two of the reassemblihg of Con,
gress for the express purpose OF
acting upon the bill and any pro.
posed amendments. Chairman
Springer, who is in charge of the
bill, says 81 feel that most of the
objections have been overcome by
the substitute, and l think we will
have safe majority for the BILL
Representative Bland, OF Missouri
is one of the Democrats who d.
not think the bill will pass. HI
says he intends to offer his bill pro
viding for the issue of coin anC
coin notes by the government as
substitute.

THE Democrats of the House
have no reason to feel ashamed of
the record of their work during the
first three weeks of the session.
They have passed three of the reg
ular appropriation bills and num-
Der of minor bills and have devoted
five days to a discussion of currency
reform. The Senate has done very
little, and the little it has done is
not apparent to the public, as il
consists mostly of preliminary work
on appropriation and other bills.

IT is said that Senator Sherman,
whose thriftiness has never been
excelled by any man in public life,
owns one half of the square of
ground which bill introduced by
Senator Quay proposes to purchase
for 81 900, 900 to be used as a site for
a residence for the President of the
United States. There is no doubt
about the President needing a resi-
dence, but there is much about the
passage of Senator Quay's bill.
