that not infrequently."

CURRENCY REFORM
At THIS SESSION
Now Is Time to Act, President
Said-Tjllman Exposes Re-
publicans Game.

WASHINGTON. June 6.-Direct as.
surance that he proposed to take M
with Congress the problem of reforn,-
ing the country's currency system dur
ing the present special session of Con.
gress was given this week by Presi-
dent Wilson. In a letter tc Senator
Tillman the president said:
This is the time to pass currency
legislation, and l think we are, in q
sense, bound in loyalty to the coun-
try to pass it so that any attempt to
create artificial disturbances after the
tariff shall have become law may be
offset by free system of credit, which
will make it possible for men, big and
little, to take care of themselves in
business
This forecasts the position the exec
utive will take in his message on the
currency question which he has told
his advisers he intends to send to Con-
gress after the tariff bill is under way
in the senate.
Senator Tillman declared that cur
rency legislation coincident with the
tariff bill is imperatively necessary. He
said also that this undoubtedly means
that Congress will sit until December,
but he asserted the needs of the coun-
try demand that congressman should
cheerfully make their arrangements to
perfect all needed legislation.
The presidents letter is in answer to
one recently written to the president
by Senator Tillman, strongly urging
the wisdom of prompt currency legis-
lation. The letter was so quickly re-
sponsive that there seems reason to
believe the executive took this course
to bring Congress to a realization Of
the fact that it must stay here through
out the summer.
In his letter to the president, Sena-
tor Tillman said, among other things:
I'm my judgment, it is Of vital in,-
portance to the future success of the
Democratic party that we should have
currency legislation as soon as posi-
BILE. There is no doubt in the mind of
anybody that the Republicans are
fighting desperately with their backs to
the wall with two objects in view.
They want to retard as long as possible
the enactment of tariff legislation and
they want to retard as long as possible
the attempt to provide any adequate
revision of the banking laws and cur
,rency systems.
Their scheme is to delay as long as
possible the enactment of a remedy
for the tariff robbery which we have
endured these many years. Their
game is perfectly patent-to disgust
the people with Democratic imbecility
and make them turn US out Of poewr
at the next election, giving them con-
troll of the house so that during the
balance Of President Wilson's term
they can block any legislation what
ever.
ut would be an idiotic blunder and
little short of criminal II the Demo
Gratis should play into their hands. We
ought to force the fighting, therefore,
and drive it through the senate under
whip and spur just like 1t was driven
through the house."
