IMPORT DUTIES IN GOLD.

AS constant means for the mainte-
nance of a 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.

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
scheme. Objection is being made to the
issuance of Understanding 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 SIC, 1920, 250 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,-
900. dating from January l, 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, desire frankly to con-
fess my reluctance to issuing more

lately followed that course. / can not

STARTLING CONDITIONS.

The financial events of the past year
suggest facts and conditions which
should certainly arrest attention. More
than $172, 900 in gold has been drawn
out of the treasury during the year for
the purpose of shipping abroad or
boarding at home, while nearly $103,-
900, 900 of the same were drawn out dur
ing the first 10 months of the year A
sum aggregating more than two-thirds
of that amount, being about s69. 900, 000
was drawn out during the following two
months. thus indicating a marked ac-
celeration of the depicting process with
the lapse of time. The obligations upon
which this gold has been drawn from
the treasury are still outstanding and
available for use. repeating the ex-
hausting operations with shorter in
tervals. as our perplexities accumulate.
The conditions are certainly superven-
ing tending to make bonds which may

ASK FOR MORE GOLD
The President Advises Canoress
to Issue More Bonds.
THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE
The Method of Depicting the Reserve
Fund Must BE Stopped-Siiver
Almost Ignored.

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,
l recommended to the serious consid-
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
meantime the situation has so changed
that the emergency now appears SO
threatening that / deem it my duty to
ask at the hands of the legislative
branch of the government such prompt
and effective action as will restore con-
I fdence in our financial soundness. and
avert business disaster and universal
distress among our people. Whatever
may be the merits of the plan outlined
| in my annual message as a remedy for
the ills existing and as a safeguard
| against the depletion of the gold re-
| serve in the treasury. l am now CON
| WINGED its reception by congress and
| our present advanced stage of financial
perplexity necessitates additional or
different legislation. With natural re-
| sources unlimited variety and produc-
! tive strength and with people whose
activity and enterprise seek only fair
| opportunity to achieve national success
and greatness, our progress should not
be checked by q 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 predicament confronts us
| today. Therefore, no one in any degree
| responsible for the making and eXecu-
ton of our laws should fail to see his
patriotic duty in honestly and sincerely
attempting to. relieve the situation
Manifestly this effort will not succeed
| unless it is made untrammeled by
prejudice of partisansliip, and with
steadfast determination to resist tempt
alton to accept such party advantage
We may well remember that if we are
affected by financial difficulties all our
people in all stations of life are con-
cerned and surely those who suffer will
not receive promotion of party inter
ests as an excuse for permitting our
present financial troubles to advance a
disastrous conclusion. 1t is also of the
utmost Importance that we approach

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 embarra ssments 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 it
is obtained. The only way left open
to the government for procuring gold
is by the issue and sale of bonds The
only bonds that can be issued were
authorized nearly rs 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
ly 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
situation, however, remains to be men,
toned. 1t 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 1T abroad, or whose fears
induce them to hoard it at home We
have outstanding about $500, O00, 900 in
currency notes of the government, for
which gold may be demanded and
curfously 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 $5O.-
900, 900 each, one in January, the other

issIe there was realized something
more than $5S.000.0O0 in gold Between
that issue and the succeeding one in
November, comprising a period of about
10 months, nearly $103, 600, 900 in gold
were drawn from the treasury. This
made second issue necessary and up
on that more than $5S,000000 in gold
