Lsgislaties BY Congress.
q WAsHrNaToN. Nov. 27.-After the
discussion Of Secretary Cages speech
before the New York chamber Of com.
merce. pubic men here say that it is
plain from his words that the issue OF .
low rate bond whereby he will retire
the Rreenbacks in one form or another,
proves to DO the essential feature OF lis
plan. It needs no prophet to predict
that such pan, no matter how
strongly it is urged on congress, will
not prove acceptable. Rightly or
wrongly, objection to issuing more
bonds will prove too powerful to be
overcome. Certainly no bond bill will
pass the senate. Moreover, even il the
bond bill could pass the house, it is all
most certain that no measure for the
withdrawal Of greenbacks would pass
even the lower body. Interviews with
leading senators indicate more clearly
every day that it is idle to hope for any
radical currency legislation. As a mat
ter Of TACT, there is a distressing alb
sence Of harmony end uniformity Of
purpose among the friends Of currency
reform. Nearly every plan for reform
is based on the withdrawal of the
greenbacks, and every plan on this basis
i6 4oredOomed to failure.
