Consideration of Bill Resumed.

After this diversion to the SILVER
question the consideration of the bill
bv sections was resumed at section .
where the discussion closed the day be-
fore. This section provided for an IN
crease of national bank note circulatlon
To he secured not by the deposit Oh
bonds or notes, but by the assets or the
hank and the government guaranty.
Mr.. Gage referred TO the advantage Oh
this additional unsecured circulai ion' IN
giving an elasticity to the country at
points where it was most needed ne
showed from the returns or the comp
troller's office how small percentage
of loss came from national banks ana
urged that this unsecured circulatioh
would entail an inconsiderable opilga-
zion ON the government by reason OF It's
guaranty, and this would be overcorne
nv the small tax on the bank constr
tuting a safety fund.
Tn answer to questions by NewianuS
of Nevada the secretary said that th'
amount of the refunding bonds undei
the bill would reach $1,13S,OOOOOo II al
of them were issued. THESE peihs .,'
basis for circulation, bank notes coui'
he issued to that amount.

VIII Maintain Bimetaliism.

I'VE have bimetallic currency in the
United States now. A firm establish
ment OF the gold standard, with such
interchangeability with such silver as
will make 1t acceptable on an equality
with gold will maintain this bimetal-
lism, the same as 1t has existed for the
last eighteen years"
The secretary went on to state that
this in no way prejudiced any steps
that might be taken to bring silver UP
to a higher standard of value. The
bill. however, was designed to give such
confidence in the financial ability of the
government that the determinations
against silver would largely decrease
Cox of Tennessee asked IL the result OF
the Gage bill eventually would not leac
| to one kind of paper money-bank notes
--and no silver except subsidiary silver
'.There is nothing in the plan to op
| crate to that extent now" answered
Mr.. Gage. 1T Is in that direction, and
with further legislation developing II
| II might ultimately lead to such result
| But / would not say that silver VIII no
| he restricted to subsidiary silver
] would say system of silver whic
| would be subordinate. 1t is subordlnat

Chairman Walker had left the city and

fore the bill proper was taken up some
semi-political questions were asked.
Hill OF Connecticut called Mr.. Cages
attention to the statement made by

standard.
You are recognized as a Republican
said Hill, addressing the secretary, land
you are familiar with the financial plat
form of the Republican national con-
vention at St. Louis. Do you consider
that this purpose of more firmly fix
ing the gold standard on the country
conflicts with the principles of the st
Louis PLATFORM"
mo, sir" responded Mr.. Gage, no
as / look at the principle of bimetal
| lism. Bimetallism must mean one o
| two things: either it is two kinds o
money of unequal value circulating
side by side by reason of the exchang
of the less valuable for that of create
value or else two kinds Of money Q

was merely the creation OF spectre
