why he did not specify that the redemp-
ton should be in gold or other legal
money.
The secretary answered that less dis
cretionary power impised on an execu-
tive officer in the execution of principle
the better, for sometimes executive offic-
ers might have indiscretion and do fool
ish things. Moreover, this discretion ex-
isted now.
When the remainder OF the bill had
been read general discussion began.
In answer To a cross-lre OF questions,
Mr. Gage said the bill could not result in
a raid on the treasury by bank notes.
It was not the substitution OF an endless
chain" OF bank notes. The banks would
have 70 redeem their own notes and II
would be to their object TO do SO or they
would be closed. But SO long as dollar
of demand obligations was outstanding.
SO long this endless chain" would 90
on.
He said:
''This bill is simply step in the right
direction and a most important step. Il
would save the government 1925 ,oGO o,
the very liabilities which are most like
ly to be brought against it. OF this. s125,-
100000 is in gold. Then, with the further
measure, recommended by the president,
giving authority for a lien up to $780,
0O0.00 when required, the government
would be so strong in time of emergency
as TO resist any stress"
Mr.. Brosius asked If the secretary felt
that the bill would obviate any proba bill
ity of the country's being forced to a sill
yer basis.
The secretary thought thai It would,
beyond question.
Suppose the next election should bring
in a house of representatives favorable
to free silver" said Mr. Fowler Rep.),
land free silver bill was passed by the
house and by the senate. Between 1898.
when this free silver measure might be
passed by congress, and 1900, when the
advocates OF sound money returned to
power. could the country go to silver
basis?"
Mr.. Cages answer brought a round OF
laughter and applause.
''In view of the absolute certainty Of a
presidential veto," said he, 81 think we
could pull through"
This closed Mr.. Cages hearing and he
was given a vote of thanks. Several
members sought to have another hearing
during the holidays, but there was stren-
uous objection to this. and the original
pfan was adhered to, of adjourning until
January is, when the Gage bill, the mon
etary conference bill and other financial
measures will be taken up.
