at the Chamber of Commerce BAN
quet in New York iast night has been
accepted here as an outline OF the rec
concentrations he will make to Congress
in his annual report.
The retirement OF the greenbacks and
Treasury notes. the necessity for which
Mr.. Carlisle points out 50 clearly Will,
il is thought, be urged upon Congress
both by the Secretary in his report and
by the President in his message.
II is regarded as exceedingly Significant
that Mr.. Carlisle. addressing a non
partisan assemblage OF influential busi-
ness men, should have dwelt 50 strongly
upon the necessity for an abandonment
OF all ambiguity in party declarations,
and a clear and explicit statement re-
garding the currency in the party plat
forms.
He proposes, II is thought, to make this
declaration Of / -inciple for the sound
money wing Of the Democratic party in
his annual report, and he will leave the
Republicans to act on it or ignore, az
they see fit.
one result is certain. however, and that
is that, following the course indicated,
Mr.. Carlisle will assume for himself and
for the Administration 4 position that
cannot be assailod except by the free
