The Secretary of the Treasury Also Says That Much of Our Financial | Trouble is Caused by the Uncer- tainty of the Policies of Our Politi- cal Parties, New York, Nov. 20.—The 127th annual banquet of the chamber of commerce of the state of New York was held at Delmonico’s last even- ing. The yearly dinner of this or ganization is among the most impor tant events of the metropolis. Utter- ances that have moved the policy of the government have been made on these oceasions. It was some what after 9 o'clock when President Orr, ina brief speech, introduced Secretary Carlisle, who spoke on “Our Currency System.” I have but littie to say this even- ing, and will take but little time to say it. Two years ago, at your an nual banquet, I said that the dispo sition and ability of the government to maintain its own credit at the highest standard, and to preserve the integrity of all forms of currency in circulation among the people, could not be reasonably doubled and ought to be the subject of further controversy. But the task is both difficult and expensive. Since that declaration was made here, interest- bearing bonds to the amount of $152,315,400 have been issued to procure gold for the redemption of the United States notes. The fundamental vice in our cur- jof silver mines and silver bullion without a promise of repayment by anybody. Much of our financial trouble has been caused by doubt and specula- | tion here and abroad, concerning the | views and purposes of our people at large and the policies of the pohtical parties to which they are attached This is a goyernment by parties, and investors watch with the great- est intezest and solicitude every manifestation of popular opinion, especially changes to be made in the chief executive office. It is of vast importance that these doubts and speculations should be set at rest in order that the world may certainly know that it is to be our permanent monetary policy. Vague and indefi- nite declarations by the great polit- ical organizations of the country not only increase doubt and distrust abroad, but encourage harmful agi- tation at home, and I hold, therefore, that it is the duty of all who are or may become in any degree reponsi- ble for the welfare of the country to insist that there sball be no further equivocation or evasion in our treat. ment of this great subject. Let us have no more ambiguous phrases, no more inconsistent and irreconcilable clauses in party plat forms or in public utterances, but let us make our meaning so clear and our purposes so plain that they can be neither misunderstood nor successfully misrepresented.

The circulation of legal tenders has a tendency to drive out of use and out of the country the very coin in which the government is compell- ed to redeem them and it has ex- pelled millions of dollars from our borders. Although the government and our own people are compelled to receive them, they will not dis charge international obligations, and gold must be got to settle all final balances against us. No other government in the world is required to supply gold from it’s treasury to * discharge the private obligations of its citizens. The theories that the government can create money by placing its stamp upon paper er other material: that a legislative enactment can make 50 cents equal in value to 100 cents: that artificially inflated priees paid in a depreciated currency are better for the people than natural prices, paid in a sound currency and yarious other vagaries now flowing like bub What is to be the Issue. The World has been asking prom inent republicans in various parts of the country for their interpretation of the recent election results and their views as to Republican policy Their replies are printed this mornirg. Very nearly all of the leaders questioned regard the result from the point of view of national politics although there was no con- gress chosen this year, and in those states in which the results were in any way surprising the issues wholly loeal. They are widely divided in opin ion as to what the people want. Major McKinley modestly thinks they want the McKinley tariff restor ed, but very few others agree with him. Nearly all suggest that the McKinley bill is what the vulgar call a back number, unsuited to the present conditions. Most of them think that the pres- ent tariff so far altered that it shaly produce revenne enough to meet ex.

So long as a democratic President is in office of course, the restoration of Mc Kinleyism is impossible. But if full power is given the republicans next year what will they do with it? What do they propose? Will they disturb the foundation of our return- ing prosperity by restoring the sub- stance of McKinleyism? Will they reimpose taxes which a democratic congress has lifted from the shoul ders of the hard working people? Will they again compel the toilers to pay tcibute to the wool yrowers? Will they make the tariff the issue next year and appeal to the people| for power to increase their burdens? | The answers to the World's in-| quiries indicate a good deal of reluc- tance to adopt this policy. But if it} is not adopted what other issue will the republicans present? On what other plea will they ask the country to1estore their party to power at the risk of forfeiting the prosperity which is so auspiciously beginning? —N.

The republican con- trol of the house does not impose any obligation in that respect, when the senate is an uncertain quantity aud the president is a democrat.

More About Waller’s Case, Washington, D. C., Nov. 20.—Al- though the State department abso- lutely refuses to confirm or deny a report that the French government has refused to furnish it the record in the Waller case, some difficuties, it is known, have been encountered in procuring this document. Just what the nature of the trouble is can not be learned, but it is understood that the application for the record is not regarded by the French gov ernment as a matter of right in the United States, and it is assumed that if our application takes more the shape of arequest than a demand the necessary documents may be forthcoming. Meanwhile the Waller case itself may be suddenly settled, far as the liberation of Waller is con- cerned, by the voluntary action of the French government, as word has come here from official sources to} the effect that it is contemplated | prisoners taken in Madagascar which would include Waller unless some special notice be taker of his case and claim.

Nov. 21.—Ex- Priest Dominick Wagner won his first victory tonight when he was acquitted of the charge of the em bezzlement of the fvads of St. Mary's parish, the one over which he presid ed,until he induced his present wife, then Miss Maud Steidel, torun off to Chicago where he had arrauged to join her after the storm had blown! over. He was arraigned in the Criminal court this forenoon charged with the embezzlement of $1,500 of the parish funds. A great deal of bit-| terness was manifested in the trial, the two factions taking action to do} ® er | the people to hang the prisoners,but ts no use disguising any fact that the farmers, as well as oth- Pa of law abiding citizens in the counties close to the William and George Taylor, awaiting execution for the murder! of Gus Meeks, his wife and children | near Browning, on the night of May | 10, 1894, have become very suspi-| cious of the probability of the con-} demned brothers effecting their escape and cheating justice of the| right and duty to forfeit their lives | for the cruel Meeks’ slaughter.

The Taylor's first trial, resulting in a hung jury, again fired the spirit of those favoring lynching. However, the Taylors’ conviction and speedy sentence to be hanged, wiped out all desire on the part of when Judge Rucher, through the complications of law, was compelled to grant their appeal to the Supreme Court,the desire for vengeance again manifested itself. The spirit smouldered in the breasts of the farmers living in this section of the State, and whenever discussed it found new recruits to the element whoare as determined as ever to see justice done.

M, CHRISTY, As the weeks rolled by, and The Chronicle startled the whole State with the details of a plot arranged by the Taylors to the effect their es- espe, the people began to openly talk about wasting no more time on the slow axd uncertain process of law. This fresh outburat of indig- nation was intensified when The Chronicle, a few days ago, gave to the public the story of the second plot to escape, which was only frus- trated by the diligence of Sheriff Stanley, who obtained possession of a tell-tale letter, and then forced William Taylor to surrender enough tools that would almost insure the escape of a prisoner from the State penitentiary. LYNCHING IS AGAIN POSSIBLE. Now the people no longer hesitate to talk about the necessity for ac- tion. The matter is discussed in al- most every place where farmers meet, and that some action will be speedily taken is indicated by what a prominent and law loving farmer gave to your representative yester- day. He said: “The time for action has come. The Carrol jail is not a safe place for the custody of the Taylors.
