GREENBACkS AND GOLD.
The President VIII Recommend That
They he Put in the Same Glass.

Washington, Dec. 4.-President Nc
kinley in his forthcoming message to
congress. will not discuss in a signifi
cant way the recent monetary negotia-
tions Of the Wolcott commission, but
will refer to it in only a casual way.
The chief interest in the financial part
of his message will attach to a recon-
mendation that gold shall be paid only
for greenbaeks and that greenbacks
shall be paid only for gold. The presi-
dent does not believe that congress will
retire the notes, and 1t is his opinion
that where there is surplus of re-
ceipts over expenditures and an ex-
change of gold and notes there is no
longer any menace to the country. He
does not contemplate the retirement of
treasury notes but only change of
classificatiOns for the reason that If re-
tired there would always he a talk of
contraction of the currency, and he
does not believe that if gold and green
backs are made Interchangeable and
kept in class by themselves that any
danger need be apprehended from that
source

NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Republican Leaders Think 1t Would BE

This Session OF Congress.

Washington Dec. Speaker Reed
was at the capita .o-day greeting the
incoming members and talking over the
prospects of the approaching session.
The republican members who have ar
rived seem to agree that there is little
or no prospect of any currency legisa
tion and many of them. like Cannon
of Illinois. are emphatic in the express
sion of opinion that it would be mis-
take to attempt to pass a measure
through the house with the certainty
that it would fail in the senate.
Chairman Dingley Of the ways and
means committee was among the arri-
walls to-day. After a conference with
Chairman Cannon of the committee on
appropriations. the general programme
of the opening days of the house was
mapped out Mr. Dingley was Informed

sentative Baily, the democratic leader
on the floor of the house arrived to-
day. He preferred to wait for the pres
dents message before expressing his

Stomach troubles are so common and

should be able to get the consent Of
England to another international mon

TO believe, from the assurances given
him last winter that England would
reopen her Indian mints and provide
for a larger reserve of silver in the

Senator NolGatt Is young and hope

President Mckinley was only too
willing to send the commission, by way
of redeeming the pledge in the st.
Louis platform. which has given Sen
ator Chandler such pleasure. that the
republican party would promote the
cause of international bimetallism, but
he realized that there was great diff
