PASS THE ADMINISTRATION BILL

The supreme indifference with which some
Of our Senators end Representatives look
upon the financial situation, and their ap-
parent ignorance OF the true condition OF
the country is enough to drive an angel to
despair Trade is paralyzed. manufacturing
industries are languishing, real estate specu-
lation is stagnant. working people are suf-
fering for want OF employment, and no class
Of our great public is thriving except the
money-loaning sharks OF finance.
The country is on the verge Of a panic, and
the daHying, dilatory, speeeh-making tactics
OF Congress is likely 10 plunge it into a series
OF financial disasters.
The first duty OF Congress is to provide n
way tor the cancellation Of the currency used
by gold spectators 70 plunder our Treasury.
This currency has been a menace 10 our
gold reserve for years, and has been the
means Of giving Wall street power to dictate
terms TO every administration since its issue
In times OF great demand for export gold it
has been the medium that drained our Treas
ury, and when a Secretary Of the Treasury
did not obey the mandate Of New York bank
ers he was quickly broughtto terms by a raid
on our gold reserve.
Any proposition TO sell gold bonds, except
10 take up the legal tender and Treasury
notes. should promptly be rejected. So long
as the currency is outstanding and can be
used over and over again for redemption in
gold. the issue Of bonds merely postpones the
day Of financial ruin. But if this currency is
redeemed and withdrawn from circulation,
the power Of Wall street to dictate terms
would be greatly lessened and public conf
dence in our financial stability would be re-
stored.
Let the pleadings Of the suffering unem-
ployed stimulate Congress TO a speedy con-
gideration of the Administrations financial
measure, and in the name Of ali that Is
sensible, let no delay prevent its. passage.
