President Harrison's Administration.
Speaking generally OF the various issues.
the Secretary says:
"Owing 10 the discouraging condition
Of our financial affairs. and the conse-
quent lack OF confidence in the ability OF
the government permanently to maintain
n reserve under a system Of redemption
and reissue of notes. very considerable
difficulty was encountered in efrecting the
loan invited by the proposals OF January
H. 1894. and at one time pending the call
Il was feared that the effort would fail.
However owing TO extraordinary ex-
ertions made during the last two or
three days preceding the time when the
bids were to be opened, subscriptions for
the whole amount were secured. At the
time the contract of February s. 1895
was made tho emergency was so press
ing that the whole purpose OF the loan
would have been defeated If the re-
plenshment of the reserve had been
postponed for a sufficient length OF time
70 advertise for bids. and, besides, II was
exceedingly doubtful whether. under the
circumstances. any sales could have been
,l1ada 70 tho 0cnora1 pubifc unon as favor
able terms as to the rate of interest as
was secured by that contract"
Replying 10 that part OF the Senate
resolution which directs the COMMITTEES
10 investigate and report what effect
the bond-salvs had on the country's
credit" the Secretary says that. I'm his
opinion. the sales were necessary for ia
preservation OF the credit OF the govern
ment. and the security Of the business
interests Of the people. and that they,
in fact, accomplished those results.
