This question precipitassd q ooaaoQuy
upon the whole financial question, winch
was participated IN by Mr.. Lindsay. Mr..
Cockereil (Mo.), Mr.. Teller (CoL) and
M. Stewart CSev).
Mr.. Lindsay maintained That the syndt-
Gates would raid the gold reserve o. the
government; and that, If the legal tender
notes were issued they would certainly
be redeemed in gold and IL rescued would
again be redeemed n gold

not Thety will take every advantage
offered them, eevn m time Of war"
IN ANSWER TO TILLMAN.
In conclusion and partly in answer to
questions put co him by Mt. Tslarnan OF
South Carolina, Mr.. Lindsay said:
''19le war will not go on for two.of three
years unless We break down our credit
az the outsts1yt- The issue Of legal tender
notes proposed here would have that eff

We'll" interrupted Mr.. Tillman, SIN

propose TO issue be paid?"
THE bonds issued" replied Mr.. Lind
say, will be sold for money as gold and
the funds SO raised will be used to paw
the boys who are to be sent to Cuba 10
face Spanish bullets and yellow fever.
Our credit will be as good as gold, and at
the end of the war we will have conducted
It on the very cheapest basis. We may
become involved with the continental
powers, and the time may come when we

When that time comes whatever necessity
demands will be done. 1t will be done
without complaint. Those who are alive
at the end of the war will be charged up
with the debt. But we cannot promote
that state OF affairs. We cannot discredit
ourselves at the very outset by resorting
to currency which is in the nature of
forced loan. by issuing notes payable on
demand and putting no money in the
treasury to pay them upon demand"
At the conclusion Of Mr. Lindsay's
speech the revenue bill was laid aside.
On motion of Mr.. Allison the senate
agreed to meet at II a. m. tomorrow.
