THE BOND RESOLUTION.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means Against 1t.

The report made to the House yester-
day by Chairman Dingley, for the ways
and means Cmmittee, on the Senate bond
resolution predicts a panic in case the
measure should become law. The repubH-
can members of the committee, eleven in
number, and two democrats, Turner of
Georgia and Cobb of Missouri, agree
in the conclusions reached, but not in the
argument The report says:
ut is not proposed by the Senate bill to
repeal so much of the resumption act as
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
to borrow coin to maintain the redemption
fuEd; yet this is the legal effect of the
language employed. The attempt to cloud
this repeal by reference to further
thcrity OF Congress is meaningless VERDI
age for every one knows, without a dec
Iaration to this effect, that Congress may
re-enact d law which has been repealed,
and the repeal is proposed just as Congress
il ready to adjourn for six months, and
with the knowledge that the Senate, as at
present constituted, would never authorize
an issue of bonds to maintain the redemp-
ton fund.
eff a proposition had been made to de-
prive the Secretary Of the Treasury Of the
power to borrow for the purpose of main
tanning the redemption fund between 1879
and 1898 1t might have been plausibly ar
gued that there was then no necessity fer
borrowing, because the surplus revenues
we're ample for that purpose. But to pro-
pose this when there is. and has been for
three years. large deficiency of revenue,
inevitably raises the inquiry whether 1t IS
not the deliberate purpose of the promoters
of this bill to plunge the government into
reputation and derreciate the greenbacks."
The Minority Report.
The minority report OF the House ways
and means committed, opposing the reel
procity policy, was made today by Messrs.
Turner of Georgia and McMillin Of Tennes-
see. 1t deals largely in statistics to sup
port its conclusions, which are:
That there is little evidence Of any marked
benefits from the reciprocity agreement.
That the plea in it's favor, based upon
the flour milling interests. is not justified
by statistics. That there is no good reason
for entering into commercial alliances re-
stricting the freedom Of commercial legis-
lation in this country.
That uniform rates Of duty. applying
equally to the products Of all nations, Is the
only safe policy to pursue. as it can give oc-
casion to no complaints Of unfair treat
nent such as must arise under scheme of
discriminating duties
