Washington, Jan. SIN the senate
John Sherman made speech on
finance. He began by asserting that
while congress would support the pres
ident in maintaining the honor and
integrity Of the country in the field
OF diplomacy, it would not approve his
recommendation on the more import
ant subject OF financial policy, partic-
ularly currency. The president was
mistaken in attributing our financial
difficulties to the demand for gold for
United States Eotes instead Of the de-
ficiency in revenue caused by the legis-
lation OF the last congress. AS a
remedy the president proposed the con-
version of United States notes into
bonds including an interest-bearing
debt Of about five hundred millions,
causing sharp contraction Of the cur
rency, arresting the progress Of every
American industry competing with for
eign productions. Sherman presented
statistics showing that for the first
time since 1866 the country began to
have deficiency in revenue in 1898,
since which time the national debt had
been increased sl62.602,245. He made
an analysis of the Mckinley and Will
son tariff laws. During the twenty
Ave months the Mckinley law was in
force the average monthly surplus was
s1,129,821; during the existence of the
Wilson law the average monthly de-
fciency was $41,699, SOB. Under the
Wilson law the United States exported
in a year agricultural productions
valued at 1901 ,57s. SS5; during the last
year of the Mckinley law such exports
amounted to 1911. LIS, 299. He declared
the deficiency In revenue the primary
cause for the demand for the United
States notes and the only remedies are
either radical reduction Of expenses
or increase in taxation, perhaps both.
The senate then passed with only
six dissenting votes the Sherman reso-
luton against the private sale of Uni
ted States bonds.
In the house Chairman Dingley of
the ways and means committee in

ident to conclude negotiations with
