The record made during the first session
OF the Fifty-sixth Congress is one that
ought to command public approval. 1t has
been the shortest long session" on record,
but 1T has been marked by laborious. con-
scientious consideration of important mat
tiers. and has been fruitful in results. First
and foremost among its completed works
IL the currency reform bill. The legal rec
ignition and establishment of the gold
standard is alone worth many times the
cost of the whole session. In fact. the value
Of that measure cannot be estimated in
money. Its moral effect on the public cred
il and the national honor in establishing
confidence and securing the foundations of
future prosperity are beyond all computa-
ton. 1t should be the most popular mon
etary measure ever enacted, for it does
away with all distinctions in value be-
tween the different kinds of American
money. places them all on an equality; the
standard being gold, makes it certain that
the poor mans dollar will always be equal
to the rich mans, and removes forever the
menace OF disaster that, for years, has
stood in the background of American
finance. It's potency for good is already
seen in the fact that ii has forced the
party of cheap money and reputation to
reform its lines, and to some extent, its
issues, and has minimized the danger in
volved in the possible election of Mr.. Bry-
an as President. Other features of the bill
will result in a material increase in the
volume of currency and enlargement of the
money facilities of the country that must
have a very beneficial effect on business.
while the provision for refunding the ma
tional debt into 2 per cent. bonds will re-
suit in saving many millions of dollars
yearly in interest.
OF equal Importance in another direction
are the bills establishing civil government
in Hawaii and Porto Rico, and the creation
of a commission for the same purpose in
the Philippines These measures are, neces-
sarily, experimental. and will. doubtless,
be amended and improved as time may
demonstrate the necessity. but they are the
beginning Of new departure in republican
government which, in the end, will con-
tribute greatly TO the extension of the area
of liberty. The mistake of the Democratic
party is in assuming at the start that the
American people are incapable of handling
new possessions and that every attempt to
extend free government beyond the present
limits Of the United States must be fail
! ure. A very few years will demonstrate the
fallacy Of this position.
The routine administration of the govern
| ment has been provided for by the usual
appropriations. and many other important
bills have been passed. During the session
| no fewer than 1.215 bills passed both houses.
| of which 2s3 are public acts of general i'm
portance. and $50 are private pensions or
claims. 1t has been very busy session, as
well as very important one

That's my charge, and they have made

kept me standing at attention for half an

and arrived at their respective decisions
as to what they would order. Then each

1t is the only one which will prevent the
