Important Amendment BY
Senator Stewart.

Senator Stewart has administer
ed a heavy blow TO the new scheme
of tariff for surplus for the pur.
pose of contracting the currency.
Mr.. Dingley stopped over" recent
ly with frank admission that the
pending tariff bill was framed with
a view to collecting more revenue
than was necessary, the surplus to
be boarded in the Treasury. This
enforced retiring of the greenbacks
would crafty the enemies OF that
kind OF money, and at the same
time create demand for currency
on some such plan as the Wildcat
bank bill Of Walker, OF Massachu-
setts.
Senator Stewart proposes an
amendment to the tariff bill which
would provide against boarding
greenbacks in the Treasury, would
supply any deficiency, and would
provide for redemption in coin
without any sale of bonds. His
propositions are simple. They are:
]. There shall be Treasury re-
serve at all times of $50, 100000.
2. Whenever there is a surplus
over and above this sum It shall be
used for the purchase of outstand-
ing bonds of the United States.
8. Whenever there Is a deficit in
this reserve it shall be supplied by
the issue OF legal-tender Treasury
notes to the necessary amount,
which shall be re1eemable out of
the first surplus above the reserve.
A. All redemption Of bonds and
Treasury potes and all payments of
interest IN bonds shall be from
whatever cOin-whether of gold or
silver-may be in the Treasury at
the time, and the Secretary is re-
quired TO coin all silver bullion now
in the Treasury, and to use for re-
demption purposes silver dollars
equal to the amount of silver GER
tificates which he may have on
hand belonging to the Treasury.
This amendment Is a perfectly
plain and sensible business propo-
sition. 1t would suit the people,
but not the syndicates. 1t would
defeat the plan OF maintaining a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Washington COrre-
spOndent Discusses The
Cuban Question.
The Cause of silver Gaining In
Strength in The ast.-Inyestiga-
tiOn of the Sugar Trust to be De-
manGel.

WASHINGTON, May 81, 1907
Whether this is a government by,
of, and for the people, or a govern
ment by, Of, and for the sugar trust,
is question that will soon be de-
termined. Not satisfied with hold
ing the people of this country up to
the extent Of eight or ten million
dollars year through the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill, the trust
is seeking to prevent either the ad-
ministration or Congress doing
anything that will help Cuba. AL
though Mr.. Mckinley has been re-
ported to be opposed to the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill, he is act
ing with the trust to throttle an
expression of the almost universal
sentiment of the country in behalf
Of Cuba through Congress, and by
the aid OF Gear Reed he has so far
succeeded. Representative Bailey
and the other democrats and popu-
lists in the House made a stout
fight to pass resolution declaring
in favor of the recognition of the
belligerency of the Cubans at the
same time the appropriation Of
$4,000 to feed starving American
citizens in Cuba was made, but the
most they could do was to frighten
the republicans into recalling all
their absent members and to COM
pei many republicans to vote
against their honest convictions In
order to please Mr.. Mckinley and
the sugar trust. Republicans talk
mysteriously about Mr.. Mckinley
having robust Cuban policy, but
when pressed they acknowledge
that they don't know what it is. In
fact, there is considerable grumbl-
ing among the prominent republi-
cans because 'Mr. Mckinley has
taken them into his confidence az
to his INTENT on towards Cuba. The
Senate will probably act, anyway,
but the House can do nothing as
long AS 1t wears the Reed muzzle.
Mr.. T.. Il. Wardner, the well
known Boston editor and publisher
was in Washington this week con-
ferring with prominent silver men
in Congress. He reported the sill

be greatly on the increase, owing

surplus, and leave the greenbacks
in circ ulatlon. 1t would provide
for loan without interest from the
people to meet any deficiency, in
stead of authorizing the issuance OF
interest-bearing bonds for that pur.
pose. 1t would compel the use ol
silver as we'll as gold money for re-
demption purposes, 1t would also
compel the coinage of the silver
bullion on hand into the dollars
against part of which Sherman
notes are now outstanding, and the
remainder of which, being the
seignorage, belongs to the funds
of the Government.
We have no need of gold for any
purpose whatever, but will cheer.

posture surplus revenue when we
know that the surplus is to be at
once restored 10 the circulation by
the redemption of our interest ac-
count. We fear no deficiency, for
it can be met by the issue of new
greenbacks, according to the decis-
ion of the United Sta tcs Supreme
Court, and they bear no interest
They are simply loan from the
people, who cheerfully accept them
~ legal tender money, as good as
gold or silver.
Under Senator Stewards amend
ment no craft of lawyer nor inso-
lence of official could devise any
pretext for Issuing United States
bond, We should borrow without
interest for any temporary purpos-
es, and Increase the taxes to pay it
off. We should miss the familiar
faces of gold exporters at the New
York Subtreasury, for they would
know that they would receive sill
yer only in exchange for green
backs whenever the gold did not
come in for duties and taxes.
The first fruit of this admirable
amendment would be the reduc-
tion of the present surplus in the
Treasury to $5O,OOO,O0O and the pur-
chase of bonds with the 100000
more now there in excess of that
amount. To be exact, we give the
figures in the daily Treasury state
ment for May 18: Available cash
balance, $22s,653, ,2l7.55. OF this
bonds could be purchased to the
amount of $l7s,5OO,OO0. There
would then remain in the Treasury
balance of $50,153,2l7.55. The
amount of in serest saved for the
year by the payment of the above
amount of bonds would be $7,140,-
600. To keep money on hand that
is not needed and pay interest on
it is the very ecstasy of folly, or it
is downright dishonesty.
Redeem bonds with tho surplus.

The 10th International Conven-
tion meets in San Francisco, July Z
to 12. The fare will be $25 going
from Chicago and $25 returning, or

ons for believeing that Ingalls, is

Senator Tillman says he intends
to see that there is an investigation
Of the new sugar trust scandal.
He gives his reasons in the follow
ing language: "The Senate can
not afford to let this matter rest
where it is. We cannot ignore the
charges that influences were back
of the adoption Of that schedule by
the Finance committee. AS far as
speculation in sugar stock by Sem
ators is concerned, L know Of no
reason why q Senator has not the

vided he does not do it on secret

not accessible to the public, and

his vote in the Senate would in

Mr.. 1illman says he will wait
reas enable time to allow some older
Senator to offer a resolution pro-
viding for an investigation before
doing so himself, but that the in
vestigation will certainly be made,
If persistency on his part will get
