MR.. SPRlNGER'S BILL.

Tho House Banking and Currency Conn
mittee Chairman Thinks lie Has Solved
the Problem OF Furnishing n Stable and
Elastic Currency-He VIII Endeavor TO
Obtain Favorable Action on His Bill by
the Committee.
WASHINGTON. June 9.-Mr. Springer,
81 Illinois, chairman of the house com
mittee on banking and currency, has
formulated a bill which he believes will
meet the existing currency situation,
and upon which he will endeavor to OBJ
tain favorable action by the committee.
Il have tried in my BILL" said Mr..
Springer, ito find solid ground between
the state and national banks, not adopt
ing the plan Of either.
ONE OF THE FEATURES
is the separation Of the function Of is.
suing currency from the business OF
banking proper. 1t simply furnishe,;
currency to the banks in the same sense
that the government furnishes coin to
the people. 1t provides for deposits by
solvent banks with the government of
coin and valid securities, consisting OF
government, state, county and munici.
pal bonds of unquestioned value.
WHEN SUCH SECURITY Is DEPOSITED,
national currency notes are issued to
the banks making the deposits and the
government assumes all responsibility
of the current and ultimate redemp-
tion of the notes. The banks are not
required 20 create fund to maintain
the reserve on account of these notes,
but may loan all of them to their GUS
toners. The government maintains a
reserve with the 20 per cent, of coin,
which must be deposited and
PROVIDES FOR THE ULTIMATE REDEMP-
from the sale of the securities deposited
and any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated. If necessary,
as last resort, the bonds of the gov
crnment may be issued to pay off every
note that may be outstanding, This
last power will never be resorted to.
Its mere existence will accomplish the
object desired
WOULD NOT STOP SILVER AGITATION.
"Would the adoption Of your bill
quiet the agitation for free slver?'
81 can not say that it would do that;
but it will give us sufficient amount
OF currency with which to transact the
business of the country, and that is the
thing at present most desired. The
plan is simple, easily understood, and
perfectly practicable. 1t merely pro-
vides an issue department for crculat-
Ing notes, without attempting to regu.
late banking as such"

draft of the pending tariff bill which
was laid before the senate for consid-
Grafton in April last. names the 3Oth
Of June as the time when the law shall
go into effect. That day ends the fiscal
year. and throughout all the prolonged
debate which has since occupied the
senate. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Harris have
contended that they would begin col

the beginning of the new year.
The present condition of things
hardly supports their belief. There are
several very important schedules yet to
be considered, to say nothing of mat
ters that have been left open pending
final action when the bill comes out of
the committee stage and goes into the

The early portion of the past week was
marked by normal temperatures, cloudi-

| prevailed until the close of the week,
| causing the average temperature for the
| seven days to range considerably below
| the normal. The cold wave was accom-.
| panied by dry. Sunshiny weather in all
| districts. and il was owing in a great
measure to the dry northwest winds fol-
| lowing the rains and absorbing the sur
| face moisture from the soil that the show
ers of the early week were so little bene
