NANClAL DEPRESSION.
Com ptrol1cr Gives His Views ON the
Financial Condition of the Country
Before the House Committec-Notes
He Says, Are a Menace.
Ranka win Supply currency.

COMPTROLLER Eckels of the Treasury De-
partment Thursday gave his views upon
the financial condition of the country to
the House Committee on Banking and
Currency. While there was no doubt or
the necessity for changes in the govern
ment financial system, Mr.. Eckels sad,
the public was disposed to attribute too
much of the existing troubles to the lack
of monetary legislation. Oyertrade, over
production and extravaganza in private
and public expenditures, partly induced by
speculation, were largely responsible for
the country's business difficulties. The
day had passed when the volume of money
was it's most important factor. lmproV-
ed facilities for transportation and meth
DDS of exchange had lessened the lmpor'
lance of large volume. Improved credit
was more important. The hrst essentlai
in this country was the stability of public
credit. The apparent reluctance OF the
people of the United States to redeem
their public obligations was the chief
cause of distrust. The current redemp-
ton Of the demand obligations of the Gov
eminent was the chief problem of the
treasury The funding and cancellation
of these obligations, so that the mamie
nance of a gold reserve would be no long
err necessary, was the most desirable pol
icy; whether it was the most practical one
was the question. So far as the contrac-
ton of the currency was concerned, Mr..
Eckels did not think it would follow grad
ual retirement of the greenbacks provld-
ed credit was reasonably stable. Banks
would supply the needed currency or gold
would come from abroad. Banks con-
Quoted on practical banking principles, IN
stead of as speculative enterprises, MI.
Eckels said, could satisfy the currency
needs of business.

No Other Legislation to Be Con-
sidered at Extra Session.
Washington dispatch: Chairman Ding
ley of the Ways and Means Committee
has outlined the program of the admin
istration at the extra session of Congress.
Said he: 'There will be no general legis-
lation during the extra session. Presi-
dent Mckinley will call Congress in ex-
traordinary session for the specific pur-
pose of passing revenue bill. When we
meet in March the blu will be ready to
present to the House, and it will be pass
ed within thirty days and sent to the Sen
ate Nothing else will be done by the
House. We will adjourn from day to day,
or take three days adjournments, accord
ing to the provisions of the constitution.
The eyes of the country will be on the
Senate alone. The House will not con-
slider pension bills nor enter into any gen.
eral legislation. We will simply remain
nominally in session until the Senate
reaches a conclusion on the revenue bill,
and then the measure will go into con-
ference, where it will be perfected in a
manner to suit both houses of Congress.
I do not believe that the Senate will force
a long session when nothing is under con-
sideration except the tariff bill"
