HILL SCORED THE SILVER MEN.
Believe They Should BE Satisfied With
Half aaLOaf.

New York. Jan. Ex-senator Hill
spoke last night at a dinner given by
the Democratic Club. He said no fac
tional difference should retard immedi-
ate legislation for maintenance of the
credit and honor of the government.
To arbitrarily refuse such action now,
because some silver legislation does not
accompany it is the height of political
folly, equalled only by opposition to the
repeal of the Sherman bill or the foist-
ing of the populist income tax upon the
country. 1t is difficult to discover why
the friends of bimetallic coinage should
object to the elimination of greenback
paper currency which it is now so gem
orally conceded should be cancelled.
Yet most advocates or silver in con-
gress, with characteristic unwisdom,
seek to regard it as their duty to antag-
onize every suggestion in aid of none
tary reform unless coupled with the full
and instant relief which they seek

IMPORT DUTIES IN GOLD.

AS constant means for the mainte-
nance of reasonable supply of gold in
the treasury our duties on imports
should be paid in gold, allowing all other
dues of the government to be paid in
any form of money.
/ believe all the provisions have sug-
gested should be embodied in our laws
if we are to enjoy a complete reinstate-
ment of sound financial conditions.
They need not interfere with any cur
rency scheme providing for the increase
of the circulating medium through the
agency of national or state banks, since
they can easily be adjusted to such a
scheme. Objection is being made to the
issuance of interest-bearing obligations
for the purpose of retiring non-interest-
bearing notes. In point of fact. how
ever, these notes have burdened us with
a large load of interest in that it is still
accommodating aggregate interest on the
original issue of bonds. The proceeds
which in gold constituted a reserve for
the payment of these notes, amounted
to $70,S20, $50 on January l, 1895, and the
annual charge for interest on these
bonds and those issued for the same
purpose during last year will be $9,145,-
600. dating from January /, 1895. while
the cancellation of these notes would
not relieve us from obligations already
incurred on their account.
These facts are given in the way Of
suggestion that their existence has not
been free from interest charges and
that the longer they are outstanding.
judging from the experience of last
year, more expensive they will become.
In conclusion, 1 desire frankly to con-
fess my reluctance to issuing more
bonds under the present circumstances
and with no better results than have
lately followed that course l can not,
however, refrain from adding to the as
surance of my anxiety to cooperate
with the present congress in any reas-
enable measure of relief the expression
of my determination to leave nothing
undOne which furnishes hope for i'm
proving the situation or checking the
suspicion of our Discrimination or dis
ability to meet with strictest honor ev-
cry national obligation.

celed. These bonds, under existing
laws. could be deposited by national
banks as security for circulation, and
such banks should be allowed to issue
circulation up TO the face value of these
or any other bonds so deposited, except
bonds outstanding bearing only per
cent. interest and which sell in the mar
ket at less than par. National banks
should not be allowed to take out cir
culating notes of a less denomination
than $40. and when such as now are out
standing reach the treasury. except for
redemption and retirement, they should
be Cancelled, and notes of denominations
Of $40 and upwards be issued in their
stead. Silver certificates of denomina-
tons Of $40 and upwards should be re-
placed by certificates of denominations
under $40.

PLANS OF MEXICO.

If Mexico is pushed into a fight over
the international boundary her policy
will be as outlined from the first by
President Diaz and his cabinet, to the
effect that this dispute and other little
matters will be settled once and forever,
and the necessary means used to that
end. 1t is prophesied in some quarters
that Mexico will settle the boundary
line by quietly appropriating the whole
Guatemalan republic as part of Mex
leo, with the City of Mexico as its capt.
tai and with the chief executive of this
republic as it's ruler. The Mexican au-
thorities decline to discuss this matter,
however, and it is exceedingly probable
that such proposition has not been Sc
riOusly considered except as a last re-
sort and after all other plans for recon
Citation had failed.
In an interview with the SalVadorean
minister, Don Jacinto Castellanos. he
said he considers final declaration of
war against Guatemala as a calamity
which ought to be averted if possible
and which he thinks will be averted by
final recognition of justice. The official
daily Of the Mexican government states
that the late attempt of attaches of the
Guatemalan legation to visit the gov
eminent arms factory was not made in
company with the Italian minister, but
with Carlos Loya. formerly first secre-
tary of the Mexican legation in Guate-
mala and later of Italy. The position
Of the government is that if Guatemala
or any other nation desires to see the
preparations for war now being made
in the government arms factory Mexico
has nothing to hide. and will give free
admission and the liberty of full inspec-
ton to representatives, of such coun-
tries.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The president
today sent congress the following mes
sage:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives In my last annual message.
I recommended to the serious cOnsd-
GRAFTON of congress the condition of our
national finances, and in connection
with the subject Endorsed the plan of
currency legislation which at that time
seemed to furnish protection against
impending danger. This plan has not
been approved by congress. In the

ask at the hands of the legislative
branch of the government such prompt
and effective action as will restore con-

distress among our people. Whatever

in my annual message as remedy for
the ills existing and as a safeguard
against the depletion of the gold re-

perplexity necessitates additional or

sources, unlimited variety and prOduc-
tive strength and with people whose
activity and enterprise seek only a fair
opportunity to achieve national success
and greatness, Cur progress should not
be checked by a false financial policy
and needless disregard of sound none
tary law, nor should the timidity and
fear which they encourage stand in the
way of our prosperity. 1t is hardly dis
puted that a predicament confronts us
today Therefore, no one in any degree
responsible for the making and eXeCu-

attempting to relieve the situation.
Manifestly this effort will not succeed
unless it is made untrammeled by
prejudice of partisanship, and with a
steadfast determination to resist tempt
alton to accept such party advantage.
We may well remember that if we are

LACK OF CONFIDENCE.

The real trouble which confronts us
consists in the lack of confidence, wide
spread and constantly increasing, in
the continuing ability or disposition of
the government to pay it's obligations
in gold. This lack of confidence grows
to some extent out of the palpable and
apparent embarrassments attending
the government under the existing laws
to procure gold and to a greater eX-
tent out of the impossibility either of
keeping it in the treasury or cancelling
obligations by it's expenditure after il
Is obtained. The only way left open
10 the government for procuring gold
is by the issue and sale of bonds. The
only bonds that can be issued were
authorized nearly % years ago and
are not well calculated to meet our
present needs. Among other disadvan-
tages they are made payable in coin,
instead of specifically in gold which
under existing conditions detracts large
~ and in increasing ratio from their de-
STABILITY as investments. 1t is by no
means certain that bonds of this de-
scription will be much longer disposed
of at price creditable to the financial
factor of our government. The most
dangerous and irritating feature of the
situation. however. remains to be men
toned. II is found in the means by
which the treasury is despoiled of gold
thus obtained without cancelling a sin
gle government obligation and solely
for the benefit of those who find profit
in shipping ii abroad. or whose fears
induce them to hoard it at home. We
have outstanding about $500, 000, 900 in
currency notes of the government for
which gold may be demanded; and
curiously enough. the law requires that
when presented and in fact redeemed
and paid in gold they be reissued Thus
the same notes may do duty many
times. drawing gold from the treasury.
nor can the process be arrested as long
as private parties who for profit or
otherwise, see any advantage in repeat
ing the operation. More than three
hundred million dollars Of these notes
have already been redeemed in gold
and Notwithstanding such redemption
they are all still outstanding. Since
the 18th of January, 1894. our bonded
Understanding debt has been increased
500. 900. 900 for the purpose of obtaining
gold to replenish our gold reserve. Two
issues were made, amounting to $780,
000. 900 each. one in January, the other
in November. AS a result of the first
issue there was realized something
more than sos. 900. 900 in gold. Between
that issue and the succeeding one in
November. comprising period of about
10 months, nearly $103. 900 in gold
were drawn from the treasury. This
made a second issue necessary and up
on that more than $5S.00OOOO in gold
