the Sulzer buncombe resolution SER
iously. and is eager to answer In SOL
emn official form the impeachment OF
his actions in the premises. In the
disposition of the public funds he will
probably say that 1t was necessary to
do something to relieve the money
market; that the only safe thing open
was to Increase the deposits in national
bank depositaries; that to do this 1t
was necessary to have some banking
institution which would distribute the
receipts as directed inasmuch as no
money once turned into the treasury
could be distributed without direct ap-
preparation of congress; that the Ma
tional City Bank promptly came for
ward with security in the shape of
s4,00O,00O in bonds: that 1t was a num-
ber of days afterward before any other
bank appeared with sufficient security:
that the bank makes nothing. and Is
really at heavy expense in acting as
a distributive agency; there can be no
partiality to any bank, inasmuch as
the National City Bank does not di-
vide the daily receipts. which are sent
to banks; that the National City Bank
makes n daily report to the treasury,
which is at all times protected bv
abundant security in the way of United
states bonds. And what he says will
be indisputable and when he says it.
the rational part of the country will
appreciate the magnitudinous assinity
of Sulzer and the yellow but domn.
ant element of the Democratic minori-
ty in congress. The ways and means
committee will consider the resolution
tomorrow. 1t demands certain infor-
nation. With due self-respect, recog.
niZing the courtesy due coordinate

IL Will simply request Secretary Gage
to furnish the desired information. 1t
Is either ignorance or bravado, or both,
that directs and shapes Democratic in
quirles OF this sort. Sulzer is not en-
tirely to blame in this instance Make
1t hot is what the Democrats said to
Sulzer when he sought their counsel
and approval in this matter. Sulzer
didn't know any better, and honestly
believes that this achievement means
his nomination for the vice-presidency
on the Democratic ticket. Who will
dispute his claim to this distinction?
