THE DEMAND OBLIGATIONS.
Greatest Trouble Treasury Has to Contend
With Says Comptroller Eckles.

Washington, January sa. = Comptroller
Eckels of the Treasury, today addressed
the House committee on banking and
currency on the several bills referred to
him. Itwas admitted everywhere, he
said, that something was wrong in the
financial condition Of the country, which
should be remedied, but the general
public laid more to the lack Of financial
Legislation that it should. A great deal
Of the present depression had been
brought about by over trading, unwise
credits and unusual eKtrava9ance. The
greatest trouble the Treasury had TO deal
with he asserted, was the current re-
denption of the demand obligations. The
cancellation Of these 1t was agreed by all,
was desirable, but by what method there
was great difference of opinion. The
great drain on the gold reserve was
caused by fear on the part of the public
that the government could not meet its
demand obligations. The outcome of the
late election, he said had gone far toward
stopping the presentation OF these de-
mand obligations for redemption. The
legal tenders could be gradually retired
in a way which would not contract circu-
lation If the plan of Secretary Nc
Cnlloch, he contended, had been followed
and the obligations retired, we would
never have had tho late trouble.
Mir. Eckles said the prosperity of the

the people, and no bank would contra ct

disturb mr. derange business matters.
Banks would do all in their power TO
avoid panies.
Mr.. Cox, Democrat of Tennessee,
asked If there was any serious objection
to using green backs as basis Of BANK
ing; to use them as bonds were now
used, in this way keep them from the
trensury? Mr. Eoklss replied this would
simply imprison them for life instead
of giving them direct circulation.
Bunds were issued for definite period
of time; legal tenders were continuing
obligations.
In reply to question By Mr.. johnson,
Republican of Indiana, he said that in
his opinion banking against bonded Sc
ouritiea was erroneous II made business
depend on something besides its de-
inands. The demand for gold aga n

act. The outcome OF this law was dis
cussed before it's final passage by foreign
financial papsrs. One German writer
fofeasted exactly what has happened.

would keep out. They were sure to keep

Washington, January 28.-For more
than m hour the Senate this afternoon
discussed in executive session the noini-
nation of VIM. S. Forman of Illinois, to
be commissioner of internal revenue, but
finally confirmed the nomination Il TO 15.
Tho opposition was based almost entirely
upon Mr.. Eorman's conduct in the recent
campaign.
Mr. Forman was defended by Senator
Hale. and others who spoke of his high
character as man and his eminent fit
ness for the place. They argued that the
vacancy came about in ordinary course,
and that no violence was done any man
or party in placing Mr.. Forman in office.
The roll call showed that the silver
Democrats, silver bnlting publioans
and Mr.. Chandler formed the voting op
position.
