ISSUANCE OF BONDS.


Republicans Change Their Views to sui,
Their Own Ends.
Since republican senator's. as we'll as
| the populists, have raised the question
whether the secretary of the treasury
has the right to issue bonds under the
resumption act, it is worth while To
note what was the construction put
upon the act about the time when il
went into operation. Mr.. Sherman,
secretary OF the treasury at that time.

II may not be often used, II is essentiaf

gencies. by Its exercise II Is anticipat ted
that the treasury al any time can readily
obtain coin to reinforce the reserve al
ready accumulated"
This was the contemporary construc-
ton put upon the act by the party in
power and acquicsced in by the mem
bcrs OF that party. including. no doubt,
many OF those that are now calling the
power in question. Mr.. Sherman goes
on TO say that the power to reissue
United States notes was conferred by
section 1879 of the revised statutes. and
was not limited by the resumption act.
"A different opinion, however, prevailed
in congress, for the act of May 81, 1873,
was passed especially TO prohibit the
cancellation of greenbacks redeemed.

81 success In November. They are
quite unmindful OF the known divisions
within their party and of the recog-
nized weakness OF Maj. Mckinley on
the financial question in the east. They
figure that his election is certain, and
are already gossiping freely about the
changes that he will make in the tariff
schedules next March. One bright
promise that they offer the business
world Is that in the event Of his election
he will summon congress in extuor-
binary session at once. One of the
pilgrims that went out TO the repub-
Lean Mecca mt Canton has returned,
and says that it is the intention of the
Ohio man, if elected. TO call an extra
session OF congress immediately after
his Inauguration. This call will be
made on the fifth Gay of March next,
end will specify that the purpose of
the session is to consider the tariff
question. According to this statement
congress would meet on the 18th day
OF next March, and be in session no
one knows how long. The republican
high tariff advocates who are counting
upon SO many chickens in advance Of
their Matching profess to be delighted
with this promise of an early return
or the high tariff agitation. But many
conservative republicans, particularly
from the eastern states, regard thiJ
advance declaration of what Mckinley
will do if elected as apt to prove very
dangerous TO republican prospects in
this campaign. What the business In
tercsts of the country most desire ut |
this time, according to these gentle
men. is an opportunity for rest and
recuperation. The agitation of tariff |
and silver questions they hold to be

Still another class Of prominent re-
