Secretary Gage Says the People Complain

rency Reform tho Next Vital Question.
Washington, June 1.-Secretary Gage
has returned to the city from Cincin-
natl and says that feeling Of impa-
tience seems to be general among the
people at the delay in the passage of
tariff bill. The business of the coun-
try is in a condition approaching stag
nation and the people are beginning to
complain Of the time being consumed.
With this question out of the way the
government could take up the ques-
tion of reform in the currency.
The business men at the Cincinnati
meeting, Mr.. Gage thought, were agreed
that currency commission should be
authorized and appointed at once, with
view to formulating plan which
could be presented to congress on its
reassembling in December. During the
recess of congress it was thought hear
ings could be given by the commission
to fnanciers and others who might de-
sire to be heard, from all parts of the
country. If the commission should fail
to agree upon satisfactory plan the
administration very likely would have
y proposition to present to congress.
