THE ALDRICH FINANCE BILL
Timely Move In the Direction of .
Much Needed Financial
Reform.

Mr.. Aldrich, chairman of the sena te
committee on finance. announces that
he Will apPoiut a subcommittee, to
meet during the recess OF congress,
which Will draw up a finance bill TO
be submitted to the senate at the OPEN
ing OF the next session in December.
There is no doubt that the committee
Is DESTROYS OF making quick work with
financial reform this time. The bill
for this purpose which was before the
recent congress was prepared too late
10 have any chance for enactment.
The proposed measure will be one of
the first which will go ON the senate's
calendar, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The senate, on one notable occa sion,
showed that il was capable of very
quick work in the way OF financial re-
form. This was in 1874 When the
democrats carried the house of rep
resentatives in November of that year.
thus endangering the work OF placing
the couDtry'S currency on the gold
| basis, which was in the minds of the
repubI can leaders, President Grant
senator sherman and the rest OF
the chieftains OF their party de.
termined 10 postpone resumption no
longer. Accordingly, sherman, from
the committee on finance. reported a
resumption bill to the republican SEN
ate on December 81, less than three
weeks after congress met, and six
weeks after the election of the demo.
cratic house, which would meet n Venr
later. II passed that body on Decen.
| Der p, went through the republican
house on January :. 1875. was signed by
! President Grant on January II and
! went into operation on January /. 1879
Whata republican president and con
gress did rs years ago a republican
president and congress can do now
The resumption act was n republican
measure throughout. 1t was opposed
by the democrats AT every step i'm each
branch of congress. The democratic
national convention of 1876, i'm ST.
Louis. which nominated Tilden. de.
clared for the repeal OF the resumption
act. 1t went into effect on time. how
ever raised all the country's currency
| up TO the gold level by the stipulated
day. at the beginning of 1879. and has
kept II up 10 that line ever since. That
was one of the most important finan-
cial measures ever placed on the
statute book in the United States. The
Aldrich bill. which is also in the tirec.
tion of q needed financial reform. can
he put through congress quickly il
