Mr.. Gage began his statement,
speaking in an easy, conversational
manner. and following notes:
He said in opening: 'The objects
I have in mind in the series of pro-
visions offered by me are four in num-
Der: First. to commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold standard;
to remove, so far as possible, doubts
and fears on that point and thus
strengthen the credit of the United
States both at home and abroad.
Second, to strengthen the treasury
in relation to its demand liabilities, in
which are included greenbacks, treas
ury notes and the incidental obligation
to maintain on a parity, through IN
terohangeability with gold so far as
may be necessary, the present large
volume Of silver certificates and silver
dollars
Third, to do this in such a way as
not to contrac. the volume of circula-
ton in the hands of the people.
Fourth, to take an initial step to-
ward a system of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit of pub
lie bonds as security therefor. IL we
prosper as a people the revenue OF the
government ought to be somewhat IL
advance Of its expenditures and the
ua!ly reduced and finally extinguished.
Looking at the question widely from
my best point of knowledge and ex-
perience, l feel that il these could lie

ment, in it's relations to the currency,
would be much safer Ind stronger than
now: that through the operation OF
National bank note currency, the COM

United States would be greatly advan-
tagged
The bill was introduced in the House
to-day by Chairman Walker, IF the
banking and currency committee, i'm
mediately after the hearing. The bill
as presented to the Roise is identical
with the bill as submittei &c the COM
mittee, save for few .nanges OF no

gested by Mr.. Walker.
