The little controversy between republi-
can senators Aldrich and Hale and the
populist senator. Allen, in the Senate on
Wednesday. and reported in our dispatches
yesterday, makes it clear that there wiA
be no legislation by this congress for rails
ing additional revenue The silver sena-
tors will not vote for the Dingley bill and
the republicans cannot pass that bill with
out their help. The republican senator's
do not seem to regret that the opposition
to the Dingley bill is great enough to pre-
vent it from becoming a law. They pre-
tend TO think that in the next congress
they will have a majority OF the Senate and
will be able to pass such a tariff bill as
will be satisfactory to their party They
are likely to be mistaken. however 1t is
not certain. by any means, that they will
have majority of the Senate after March
4.
The House committee on banking and
currency has practically announced that
it will recommend no legislation for the
reform of the currency 1t has adopted
resolutions to the effect that currency re-
form is needed, and has invited bankers
and financiers to make suggestions as
to the kind of reform that would give
the country a more satisfactory currency
system. This is only another way of
putting off the matter until next congress.
The whole country knows that the two
things that are needed to encourage the
coming of better times are more revenue
and currency reform. The country has
just held a national election at which it
was understood that if the republicans
were successful the currency would be re-
formed at once and a system of taxation
would be adopted that would provide all
the revenue needed for the maintenance
OF the government. In the face of the
expressed desire of the people the things
to be done to hasten the return Of pros
perity are being put off
1t is greatly to be regretted that the
peoples representatives have so little re-
gard for the peoples wishes. If politics
could be banished from the national CAPT
tai for few months congressman would
go to work in earnest to pass the measures
which are necessary to start the coun-
try on the road to better times. Each
party however, is seeking to gain the
advantage in the game of politics. But
little regard is paid to the welfare of the
country. 1t would not be surprising if
the republican party had neither REFORM
ed the currency nor provided additional
revenue when the next congressional cam
paign begins. In that event the country.
IN all probability, will be so dsgusted
with the republican party that it will
take from it the control of congress.
