Congress Not Likely to Help Them-Cur-
rency Legislation Is Likewise.


Washington, Dec. 6.-The correspon-
dent here of the New York Herald tele-
graphs his paper that, regarding Cuba,
pro-rebel sentiment is strong in both
houses of congress. but the disposition
of many of the senators and representa-
tives to delay action, pending the trial
by Spain of the new policies of the Sa-
gasta ministry, and the influence of the
administration and of the conservative
leaders in both houses will be able to
prevent any action. These are the con-
illusions arrived at as the result of con-
versation with practically all of the
senators and representatives who have
arrived in Washington.
Among the members of the house of
representatives the proportion of those
in favor of action is rather larger than
among the senators. This is accounted
for in a large measure by the fact that
a majority of those seen are Demo-
Gratis and Populists. who are opposed
to the policy of the administration.
However, the house is practically pow
erless to act in opposition to the will Of
the speaker and the party leaders. The
speaker and Chairman Hit OF the COM
mittee on foreign affairs. are opposed
to action. The Republican majority of
that committee is in accord with Hit,
and the speaker, backed up by this
committee. can hold any Cuban resolu-
tions back indefinitely.
Currency legislation Is worse off than
the Cuban rebels for ii is a case Of
one house absolutely opposed to any
measure the other is likely to adopt.
Republicans agree that there is little or
no prospects of currency legislation
and many Of them, like Cannon of Il
linois. are emphatic in the expression
Of the opinion that 1t would be mis-
take to attempt to pass a measure
through the house with the certainty
that ii would fail in the senate. Judge
Cox, of Tennessee, the leading member
of the Democratic minority OF the com
mittee on banking and currency, does
not believe il would be possible even
to get bill out Of that committee ow-
ing to the conflicting views held by the
members

ment paper currency prevailed unques-
toned In this country until. under the
apparent exigencies OF the war. the
government undertook to issue paper
currency. Even under such circum-
stances. the promise was always given
that IL should be retired at the earliest
practicable moment. and the admission
freely made that IL was neither a wise
measure nor a safe form OF currency.
Between the competition OF the gov

and the unnecessary restrictions i'm
posed by law upon the other. together
with the increasing price of bonds re-
quired to be deposited as security. the
note issuing function of the banks has
been permitted TO become merely an
incident to the conduct of the national
banking associations OF the country. II
has been seriously suggested more than
once that the bank note Issues be done
away with and all paper be issued by
the government instead. The danger
OF such a course Is not to be over-esti-
mated. The experience OF every gov
eminent has been that governmental
currency paper is a source OF weakness
and danger The argument that
the government, better than the banks.

careful analysis.
THE government has no means for
caring for it's demand liabilities except
through borrowing and through the
levy of taxes. Upon the other hand the
banks have assets which can be prompt
ly converted into cash to meet their
outstanding notes when presented.
Their ability to command gold has al
ways been beyond that of the govern

which has confronted the government

teresting feature of this statement Is
the per capita amount OF each kind of

per capita averages in the principal

Senator Chandler responded by asking
if Morgan had any arrangement for pass
ing his Cuban resolution in the house.
"The people are arranging all that,
responded Morgan, "and either the SEN
ator from New Ham pshire, who support.
ed that resolution, and myself, and the
American people, and the Almighty will
have to give way on that, or else the
speaker Of the house of representatives
will give way"
Senator Morgan spoke on the calamity
and humiliation to which the United
States was subjected in having no Amer
loan ships to carry this American bene-
faction. This dispatch of grain to Brit
sh India would convince the British
people, that Notwithstanding the defeat
of the arbitration treaty, we intend to
live with them on terms of peace and
amity. Morgan offered an amendment,
providing for the naturalization of two
British built ships, to carry this grain.
He declared shipping laws, preventing
the naturalizing of foreign built ships,
were responsible for the Illuminating con-
dition of having no American ships.
