Mr.. CAGES PLAN.
HE PRESENTS HIS VIEWS TO THE
HOUSE COMMITTEE IN A
LOGICAL MANNER.
His Idea of Bimetallism Is That We
Have 1t Now as 1t Should Be Main
tained-His Plan Would Entail No
Contraction Of the Currency-More
Paper Money Coming.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Secretary Gage
resumed his exposition of his extensive
currency bill before the house COM
mittee on banking and currency today.
Chairman Walker had left the city and
Mr.. Brosius presided.
Before the bill was taken up some
semi-political questions were asked.
Mr.. Hill, republican OF Connecticut,
called Mr.. Cages attention to the state
ment made yesterday that the first pur-
pose of the bill was to commit the coun-
try to the gold standard.
You are recognized as a republican,"
said Mr.. Hill, addressing the secretary.
and you are familiar with the financial
platform of the republican national
convention at st. Louis. Do you on
slider that this purpose Of more firmly
fixing the gold standard on the country
conflicts with the plank Of the St. Louis
PLATFORM
mo. SIR" responded Mr.. Gage, mot
as l look at the question Of bimetallism.
Bimetallism must mean n of two
things; either 1t is two kinds of money
Of unequal value, circulating side BY
side by reason OF the exchange Of the
less valuable for that of the greater val
ue. or else two kinds Of money Of such
intrinsic equality Of value that they
will circulate naturally side by side.
w hovo n hirotoIJtr ,,,rnopc~ L., <h>
United States now. A firm establish
ment Of the gold standard, with such
interchangeability with silver as will
make 1t acceptable on an equality with
gold. will maintain this bimetallism the
same as it has existed for the last Is
years."
The secretary went o to state that
this nj no way pretudiced any steps thaA
might be taken to bring silver up to .
higher standard Of value The bill,
however. was designed 10 give such
confidence in the hnanciaa ability Of the
government that the determinations
against silver would largely decrease.
Mr.. Cox. democrat Of Tennessee
asked II the result Of the Gage bill sven-
tually would not lead to the killing OF
paper money-bank notes-and no sill
yer except subsidiary silver.
There Is nothing in the plan to op-
crate to that extent now" answered
Mr.. Gage. ut is in that direction, and
with further legislation developing 1t
might ultimately lead to such a result.
But will not say that silver will be re.
strioted to subsidiary silver. l would
say a system OF silver which would be
subordinate. It is subordinate now"
After this diversion to the silver
question the consideration Of the bill
by sections was resumed at section Z,
where the discussion closed yesterday.
This section provided for an increase of
national bank note circulation to be Sc
cured, not by the deposit Of bonds or

notes, but by the assets OF the bank
and the government guaranty. Mr.
Gage referred to the advantage Of this
additional unsecured circulation, In
giving an elasticity to the currency at
points where 1t was most needed. He
showed from the returns Of the comp
trollers that a small percentage OF
losses came from national banks. and
further than this unsecured circulation
would fail in an inconsiderable obliga-
ton to the government by reason of its
guaranty, and this would be overcome
by a small tax on the banks. constitute
ing a safety fund.
In answer to questions by Mr.. New
lands of Nevada. the secretary said that
the amount Of refunding bonds under
the bill would reach $1,136, O00, 900, If
all of them were issued. This being
the basis OF circulation, bank notes
could be issued to that amount. Be-
sides these. the additional rs per cent
of unsecured circulation would give a
further issue of bank notes Of about
$500, DOC, 900. But that vast issue was
merely the creation of a specter and
was not a reality. The banks could not
get all the bonds and use them for is
suing bank notes. On the contrary,
government bonds are always taken
largely by private investors, trust COM
panies. insurance companies and par
ties across the water. An effort of the
banks to absorb all the bonds would so
effect the price as to defeat the object
in view. This also would serve as a
check to the expansion Of bank circu-
lation.
Mr.. Newland referred to gold con-
tracts and asked the secretary about
them. Mr.. Gage did not deem IT advis-
able to interfere with private contracts
Of this character any than was
necessary. To Mr.. Prince of Illinois he
explained that his expression, gold
and other legal money" used in the bill
meant no reflection on silver or other
classes of money. The other legal
money included silver, and the express
sion merely served to cover a well I'm
derstood term.
The extent to which drains on the
government stock Of gold would result
under the plans Of the bill excited much
discussion.
Mr.. Gage stated that the redemptions
would be made in gold or IT'S equiva-
lent.
Mr.. Fowler Of New Jersey said this
opened a serious question, and inquired
II silver certificates would o be de-
posted and %impounded, and their place
taken by national bank notes, thus in
creasing the decline In our gold supply.
Gage answered that 1t was a to
c~onjure up Hypothetical objections,
but he did not look at this one as seri-
Gus. Any secretary OF the treasury on
receiving these silver certificates, would
swap" them for greenback treasury
notes and other forms of government
notes. which served to drain notes and
thus build up the redemption fund.

senger-or courier-who was to an
nounce to Macbeth the moving of Bir-
nam wood. came on the stage, and. in
a drawing voice, tamely repeated his
lines. Forrest (who was Macbeth) look
ed at him a second, and then said: My
boy, if you were to really see a woods
get up and move would you
it in such a way as that? Now look and
listen; let me show you" Thereupon
Forrest. with great fire and emphasis,
repeated the words: Till Birnam

There. can't you do and say it in
that way?"
To which the lad replied, looking For
