SECRETARY Carlisle took some of the con- ceit out of ex-Speaker Reed this week, but he still has enough to supply a dozen or nary men. The incident occurred when Secretary Carlisle was explaiding to the WAYS and means committee of the house, of which Mir Reed is member, why and how that bond contract was made by the administration. Mir Reed pompously in- quired of the secretary why his substi- tute. which was last week defeated by the house, WAS not satisfactory to the admin istIation. Secretary Carlisle answered by reading a clause of the act of 1874. which has been overlooked by all the speakers during the financial discussion, and which would have nulliied any benefit to be de- rived from the Reed substitute. For once Mir Reed was lost for an answer. The law read by Secretary Carlisle glves the hold CTS of national bank notes the right to have them redeemed by treasury notes, if they so desire. and as the treasury notes are redeemable in gold it practically makes national bank notes redeemable also in gold. The Reed substitute only recognized the greenbacks as redeemable in gold. There is a heap of ignorance in congress, as well as among the people. on this finan- cial question.
