WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Speaker

statement as follows:
Most assuredly the country is TO be
congratulated on the fact that at last

pith and moment. It is the uncertain
~ that hurts-even where n bill might
be the sum total of human wisdom

men OF intelligence will know very
soon what the currency bill contains
and what II means and can conduct
their affairs accordingly.
My own Judgment Is that it will
be satisfactory to the country in a
nigh degree: AT least. | hope so The
fact that large number of Republic
cans and Progressives voted for our
bill is proof positive that the country
is we'll pleased with the bill.
so many OF them voted that il
may not improperly be denominated
non-partisan currency law We
certainly nave ample cause for self
congratulation that in nine months We
have passed bill revising all the tar
IN schedules and a bill thoroughly re-
vising and overhauling our currency
system.

Piles OF constructive legislation. The

that the uncertainty as TO the cur
