McKinIex,s Money views.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-President Nc
Kinley, in his forthcoming message to Con-
greSs, will not discuss in a significant way
the recent monetary negotiations of the
Wolcott bimetallic commission, but will re-
fer to it in only a casual way The chief
interest in the financial part of his mes
sage will attach to a recommendation that
gold shall be paid only for greenbacks and
that greenbacks shall be paid only for gold.
The President does not believe that Con-
gress will retire the notes and it is his
opinion that where there is a constant sur
plus of receipts over expenditures and an
longer any menace to the country. He does
not contemplate retirement of treasury
notes, but only q change of classification
for the reason that if retired there would
always be a talk of contraction of the cur
rency and he does Believe that if gold and
greenbacks are made interchangeable and
kept in a class by themselves no danger
need be apprehended from that source.
