THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Representative Reed Tells the House
What Ought to Be Done.


The currency question was Unexpectedly
sprung upon the House yesterday after
noon during debate upon the Indian bill.
coIloauy upon finances between Messrs.
Walker and Warner drew Mr.. Reed of
Maine into the debate. who had this to say
about the Carlisle bill and the financial
situation in general:
Mr. Chairman, L desire simply to take
| the floor to assist my friend from Iowa
(Mr. Hepburn) and the gentleman from
Mississippi (Mr. Money! to restore some
thing like comfort to the democratic side
Uaughter) or course, we shall not De
| able to satisfy the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Warner), who seems to come
| out at the same place where he went in
always Uaughter) 1t remains, however,
| a plain and simple fact, known to every
body within the sound Of my voice, except
the gentleman from New York, that the
Carlisle bill was kiIled-that it went to its
death-by its own weight. 1t had not con-
sistency enough to stand alone. That is
proved by the fact that no gentleman-if
it needs any proof-objected to the with
| drawal of the rule; and it was within the
power OF even the gentleman from New
York (Mr. Warner) to have objected to that
and to have had the rule so amended as to
meet the wishes of the House.
1.-The fact about the whole business is
very plain one. bill was proposed which
was not acceptable to this House, not ac-
| ceptable to the country, not acceptable TO
| ANYBODY, which everybody knew could not
pass. Now, that is The 1act SUch III ap-
| surd failure was made is no reason why
the majority should not 90 the necessary
thing, and the necessary thing is very
simple.
I'VE have government that is running
behind S.,.tsD.CD a MONTH and its credit is
| the reby impaired. The remedy is perfectly
simple Make the revenues equal to the
outgoing Qoud applause on the republican
side); and when you have done that you
have, for the present, cured the situation.
| The credit Of this government VIII then be
restored; and that is simple enough, even
for this democratic majority to do
daughter on the republican side) 1t is SO
simple that no man on the other side who
| wants to do his duty can fail to do the
| right thing Make the revenues equal to
| the expenditures, and then face frown-
| ing world

SAMOA PROTECTORATE
Gossip Caused by the Failure to Ask for an
Appropriation.
What IL Said About the Policy of the
Administration I'm Regard to
Those Islands.

A question has been raised by the APP
pearance Of the sundry civil appropriation
bill, whether the administration is not at
tempting to carry into effect President
Cleveland's recommendation that the
United States recede from its part in the
trfpartite protectorate over Samoa by re-
framing from asking Congress to appro-
pirate any money to defray our share Of
the expense
Last years sundry civil bill contained an
item under the head of the Department OF
State. for carrying out the Samoa agree
ment, but from this years bill the clause is
conspicuously missing. 1t might properly
have been included either in the diplomatic
and consular or the sundry civil bills, but
the diplomatic was framed and passed the
House without reference to Samoa, and
| been received from the Department OF
State for any funds for the purposes OF
the prOtectorate.
Secretary Gresham has several times sug-
geSted that the United States recede from
| any participation in the government of
Samoa, and his views were made the SUBJ
1ect OF a strong paragraph In the Presi-
dents last message. In accordance with
these views the administration has for
some time neglected to station a warship
at the islands, although it was a feature
OF the agreement that ships should be
Kept at Apia, and 1t was understood that
| the three nations would alternately be
represented
Chairman McCreary of the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs states that he
has never looked upon the Samoa arrange
ment with favor. and in the course of the
debates upon Hawaiian matters has re-
| ferred to what he termed the policy of
keeping a savage king on the throne there
| as an instance of the sort of foreign pol
| icy which the republicans accused the
| President of designing to carry out in
Hawaii.
A resolution was introduced last week
| by Representative McMilIin Of Tennessee
making inquiry into the cost of this gov
| ernment's share of Samoa expenses, and
| it was understood to be the ihtention of
democrats in the House to oppose any
| further appropriation for the purpose.
| Since the appropriation bills contain no
| such provisions they will have no oppor-
| tunity, so far as can be seen, to do this.
