SPRlNGER'S MEASURE.
Considerable Friction Over the Bill in
Committee Likely.

Considerable Friction Over the Bill in
Committee Likely.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The house
committee on banking and currency
started at 1 o'clock upon what promises
to be a long consideration of the admin
istration bill. According to present in
dications the committee will be in ses-
sion all day. Practically no progress
was made during the early part of the
day, and all indications point to a re-
threshing of the whole financial ques-
ton i'll all its phases. Representative
Cox Of Tennessee began business by a
motion to report the bill to the house,
which at once aroused a chorus of oppo-
sition. Three Of the Republicans, Hen
derson, Illinois; Brosius, Pennsylvania,
and Haugen, Wisconsin, objected siren
uously to what they termed summary
action, and Representative Cobb of Ala
bama declared that he would never vote
to report the bill to the house in its
present FORM
Considering the Bill,
Thereupon Representative Russell
moved that the committee proceed to
the consideration of the bill" which
was agreed TO informally. In the course
Of discussion, Representative Walker
opposed the proposition of a 50-yea'
term for the bonds, and gave notice that
he would offer All amendment for a
shorter term. Other republicans stood
with him on this objection, and also
gave it as their views that greenbaclls
should not be retired unless the circula,
ton was kept to it's present volume by
replacing the retired greenbacl1s with
national bank notes.
Representative Cox gave notice that
he would move to substitute for the ad
ministration bill the Inflated Carlisle
bill, with certain amendments Of his
own, which have lean outlined hereto
fore. There may be adopted by the
committee !, rule limiting the time fol
debate on amendments, which vii
somewhat expedite matters.

The presidents proposition to issue
three per cent. gold bonds, which may
be used as u basis for national bank Cir
4culation up to their face value, would
be the means of perpetua,ing the ma,
tional banks almost indefinitely. His
plan is to make the bonds run 80 years.
The emergencies of tie times may re-
quire something of the kind, but we &c
not believe the country will take kind
ly to any snch policy.

BY the provisions OF the Sherman law
passed July IA, 1890, 100000 ounces Of
silver were purchased every month till
July. 1893. This silver was paid for in
treasury notes. called ''coin notes." and
are redeemable in gold or silver. at the
option of the secretary of the treasury.
We believe none of them have been re-
deemed in silver, but always in gold:
and this constitutes one of the forms
of money with which mon y sharks
Systematically drain the treasury OF
gold. Many people see no good reason
why they should not be redeemed in
silver, bat Secretary Carlisle has always
feared the consequences OF doing so
