TlLLMAN's RESOLUTION.

Senator Tillman made his first in
cursion of the session into the lime
light last week when he offered a
/ resolution to investigate the conduct
of the Secretary OF the Treasury OF
course Senator Tillman and everyone
else knew beforehand that the resolu.
ton would lead to nothing. 1t was a
partisan resolution and was intended
to put the Senator and the rest Of the
minority on record as opposed to all
the measures that had been taken for
the relief Of the money market during
the panic. 1t was divided into two
parts, one of them directed at the &C.
ton OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
in issuing treasury notes and Panama
bonds for the relief OF the currency
situation. 1t was demanded to know
whether this action was according to
law and whether It was a bona fide
Government crisis needing money for
the expenses OF the Government. In
so far as the resolution questioned the
action OF Secretary Cortelyou, 1t was
scarcely generous, seeing that the
Secretary with the very limited dis
erection at his disposal had done the
best he could to ease a threatening
situation
But the inquiry relating to the is
sue Of clearinghouse certificates will
appeal to more people and raise some
very pertinent questions. Senator
Tillman wanted to know whether the
action OF the clearinghouse banks in
issuing their certificates as money
and putting the certificates into cir
culation was lawful or not and wheth.
er If they had the right to issue this
sort of money at all II should not be
subject TO ten per cent bank tax.
He wants to know further II the banks
had the right to issue this sort Of Ger.
tificates and pass II as legal tender;
the planters and warehouse
men who had cotton and tobacco In
their warehouses might not issue the
same sort Of scrip and use it in market
ing their crops. OF course the resolution !
went over, but il opens an interesting !
field Of discussion and certainly sug.
gests a possible way in which the |
planters OF the South might issue a
sort Of currency TO meet their needs
when there was pressing de.
nand for IT, The Senator promises
% speak on the resolution in the near
uture and will doubtless bring out
his point
