Reported to the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Secretary Car
isles bond sale was fortunately timed
to avoid danger of adverse legislation
by congress That congressional criti-
cism was expected is admitted by the
secretary of the treasury, and the
cction of the judiciary committee OF
the house in favorably reporting the
Bailey resolution Friday, shows how
decided is democratic sentilnentagainst
bonds.
It is not expected that Mr.. Bailey's
resolution, which declares that money
derived from the sale of bonds issued
no other purpose than the redemption
of United States notes. viii! seriously
affect the proposed sale of s50.0C0,0C0
worth OF 5 per cents 1t is worthy OF
notice, however, that in antic;pa-
ton OF some such action as that taken
Friday, which shows that the judi.
ciary committee was not influenced
By the arguments CT Mr. Carlisle AS
sistant Secretary Curtis was dispatched
to New York to drum up bids for the
bond sale.
What Mr.. Carlisle can do is not
known here. In an emergency like
the present one it was thought better
to send New York man to deal with
the New York bankers and syndicatcs
rather than either Of the other assist
mt secretaries. who are much better
equipped in every respect than Mr..
Curtis.
Mr.. Baiiey's resolution can not be
considered until after the tariff bill
shall have been disposed OF by the
house. Vixen it is called up the whole
question of the condition of the treas
uary, necessity for immediate author
ization by congress for a bond issue.
and the coinage Of the seiSniorage will
be debated. before this can happen
success or failure of the $50, 900, 600
bond issue will have been determined.
From Mr.. Cariisle's statement to the
judiciary committee Thursday, 1t is
certain that the action Friday will not
deter him, in any particular, in the
course which he has marked out for HIM
self. AS he explained, he felt, through
the failure OF congress to act for the re-
lief Of the treasury, he was justified
in exercising his right under the law
to obtain the money needed. and,
next, to dispose OF the proceeds of the
bond sale in such manner as seemed
wise to him, whether in meeting the
current expenses of the government
ordered by congress- or in the redcmp-
tion OF greenbaclls.
The democratic opposition to the
bond policy Of the administration is
but another evidence of the growing
breach between the executive and leg
islative branches of the government.
