Washington, May IL The democratic
leaders all condemn the position taken by
Chairman Dingley:
Representative Bailey Of Texas-When
tho majority of the ways and means COM
mittea presented to the full committee 4
tarIff bill which according TO the chair
mans report. was expected to raise mean ly
500 600 600 more money than WAS appro-
prated by the last democratic congr SIS and
over $50. 600. 900 more than was approrFi-
ated by the last republican congress, we
unhesitatingly charged that they were
seeking 10 retire the greenbacks and treas
ury notes by accumulatlug them as a CUR
plus in the treasury. but no republican
with authority to speak has ever made Il
specific answer to 1t until Mr. Dingley
practically admitted 1t in his interview.
republican leaders have deceived thcm-
selves II they suppose that they can FRO
tect the treasury against gold raiders 10y
increasing taxation II is as certain Es fate
thar whenever the exporters OF gold de-
sire to make the treasury furnish gold for
expectation, or whenever the great 5dlfing
institutions and fnanciers OF this country
resolve Ia GEORGE the government into the
sala OF bonds. they can and will deplete the
gold reserve without tho slightest reference
To the amount OF taxes which the govern
menr il collecting.
Senator James X. Jones OF Arkansas-lt
has been known for q long while that the
retirement of the legal tender government
notes WIS pet purpose of tho BODYBUILDING
syndicate which seems to have controlled
the financial policy of the executive branch
of the government now for soma years. but
each public suggestion of that purpose, no
matter how gently made has met with de-
cided opposition. This clear and distinct
avowal OF Mr. Dingley says that what they
dared not attempt directly they are actu-
ally now daring to accomplish by indirec
ton.
Senator Roger @. Mills of Texas ex-
pressed himself thus: III is plain to my
mind what the policy Of the republicans
VIII be, After they have passed their tar
III bill, II II passes, they intend To fund
the ncn- interest bearing debt OF the Uni
ted States. including the greonhacks and
demand notes. amounting to about $780,
uVVoUu by Tho issuance OF long time in
terrsi-hcarine bonds which are to be used
Tor National banking purposes. This is
remarkable idea, substituting for debt
tnal costs the people nothing ono that will
add to their burdens in the way of annual
interest charges"
senator Coekrell--If the proposition con-
tHlneh IN tho statement of Mr. Dingley is
understood to mean the retirement of the
sretnbacks, through the agency OF tariR
biii, then | must say that | believe that
scheme to ba iniquitous.

for some years--namely. She law permit :

cont TO a quarter of per cent they may
become interested in having more bonds
issued to furnish basis for bank notes
All they have to do is TO present green
backs and treasury notes and draw down
the gold reserve. then raise the alarm and
proclaim that tho credit is In danger.
IF the secretary of the treasury Yields,
as there is no reason to doubt he would,
they could buy the bonds with the gold
drawn out. and then issue notes upon the
bonds purchased. II is difficult 10 con-
cciye OF a more advantageous transaction
