On the democratic side of the house the vote against the republican gold bond bill was solid. The only republican congressman from Mis- souri who voted with the democrats against the passage of the bill was dudge Burton, of Nevada. In passing a tariff revenue bill the republicans were particular to place | a duty where the people could not zee it, on wool, woolen goods and jumber. On these articles the people pay the tax and don’t see it. When asked to tax sugar they dodged. The people could see the difference Ddetween 12 and 20 pounds. The Dingley revenue bill went through the house of representatives Thursday by a vote of 205 to 81, practically a party vote. The bill was formed Wednesday and passed Thursday. Gag rule prevailed, only afew hours being allowed for de- bate, and no amendments were per- mitted to be offered. ————==—_—— The Kansas City Times says no utterance of a chief executive of the state of Kansas has attracted so mueb attention and met with such universal condemnation as Gov.

The) purpose of this bill was to issue bonds to contract the currency at! of the Secretary of the Treasury, to lower the price of wheat and raise that of bonds, to reduce the wage of those who toil, and increase the incomes of the job bers in money. “Shall we one day,” be concluded, “flaunt defiance in the face of Eng- land and the next day bow submuis- sion to the financial policy of the mistress of the seas? This is a bill to perpetuate the gold standard.” “Did you entertain your silver views before the last election?” asked Mr. Dovener of West Virginia. *T did.” “You were elected by 2,000 in 1892. What was your majority in 1894?” “Exactly 92,” replied Mr. DeAr- mond, sharpley, “and a gentleman who has no more idea of the propri- ety of debate than to interrupt a gentleman with a suggestion no weightier than yours certainly got here by too many, if his majority was only one vote.” (Uproarious Democratic applause.) Theatre Disaster. A defective gas burner and a fool- ish cry of fire at the old Front Street theater building, Baltimore, Md., Friday night, caused a panio among the three thousand people who had assembled and in the rush from the hall twenty four people were killed out right and as many more danger- ously if not fatally hurt by being trampled upon and suffocated in the mad rush for the streets. “The Front street theater is am old tumble-down affair on the west side of Front street between Gay and Low. It has not been used for theatrical purposes for several years, but has recently been the scene of many glove contests under the au- spices of the Eureka Athletic club. The means of egress were confined entirely to two narrow doorways opening upon the stairways leading down to the narrow landing upon upon which to-night’s tragedy oc- curred. The theater was first opened to the public in 1829, but nine years later was burned and the pres- ent structure took it’s place.

House Measure. Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.—See retary Carlisle made the following statement tonight in response to the| following question: “What, in your opinion, wil be the effect upon} the financial situation of the) tariff bill passed by the House of Representatives yesterday?” “JT had,” said Mr. Carlisle, “‘gup- | posed thet very few men could be} found who believed our financial dif | ficulties were caused by a deficiency | in the ordinary revenues of the gov ernment, or that they can be reliev ed by increasing taxes upon the eommodities consumed by the peo- ple. These difficulties are the neces- sary results of our financial legisla tion, and they can not be removed, even temporarily, by tariff laws nor by any other measures which do not directly enable the government to procure the means necessary for the maintenance of gold payments.” “Do you think,then, that the bond bill reported in the House today will furnish any relief to the Treasury?” “Iam satisfied there is but one permanent remedy for our financial embarrassments, and that is legisla tion providing for the retirement and cancellation of the legal tender notes, but, recognizing the fact that such a measure would require time for its consideration, for its complete exe cution if adopted, I had hoped that Congress would iimmediately take the necessary steps to assist the gov- ernment in its efforts to procure and} maintain such a gold reserve as may be required to remove the distrust and apprehension which have precip- itated the present emergency. The bill reported by the committee on ways und means falls very far short of the requirements of the situation, and its passage will not beneficially effect tue situation with which we now have to deal. “Our difficulties were produced, and have been prolonged and aggra- vated by the fear that, notwithstand- ing all the efforts of the administra- tion we may ultimately be unable to procure gold for the purpose of re- deeming our notes, and consequent- ly be forced to a silver basis, and this fear can not be wholly removed until sume action is taken by Con- gress clearly indicating a purpose to pay all our obligations in gold, when demanded by the holders. Although there is no reason to distrust the character of our notes or other securities, or to doubt the purpose of the government to maintain gold payments, the fact is there has been no legislative declaration upon the subject, and that no legal authority exists to make them expressly pay- able in gold, not only prevent the sale of our bonds for the replenish- ment of the reserve upon the most advantageous terms, but increase the demands for gold by the presenta tion of notes at the very time when we are least able to meet them with- out injury as to our credit. If it was not generally expected that the three class of bonds already author- ized by law will be paid in gold at maturity, if demanded, they could not be sold except at an enormous sacrifice, but even this general ex pectation is not sufficient to altogeth- er satisfy investors, and especially in times of financial disturbance. “About $16,000,000 in interest could have been saved to the people on the last issue of bonds, if Con- gress had consented to make them expressly payable in gold, instead of eoin.

At the present time our thirty year 4 per cent bonds, with interest payable quarterly, are sell- ing in the market at rates which yield investors more than 3 per cent be overlook in determining whether jor nota five year 3 per cent coin the pending bill requires.” “What will bethe effect of the |provision prohibiting the sale of bonds except after public adyertise- ment?” “Assuming that a suflicient amount of gold could be procured in that way, any Secretary of the Treasury would prefer to advertise for bids, but it is evident there may be cir- cumstances when prompt action is required in order to preserve the credit of the government, and in such cases a premptory provision requiring a public advertisement might defeat the object of the law and prevent a sale.” Speaking of the section of the bill which authorizes the issue of certi- ficates to meet the deficiencies in the reyenue, Secretary Carlisle said: “While there is no necessity at the present time for resorting to the exer- cise of the power which that section confers, and may not be in the future the Secretary of the Treasury ought always to have the authority to issue and sell or use in the payment of expenses, short time certificates, or bonds of the nature described in the bill. Such authority ought to have been confered upon him long ago, and it ought to be made perma- nent, instead of being limited to $50,000,000, as itisby the bill. Ex cept as to this limitation, the second s<ction of the bill is a good one. Cheap Metropolitan Papers.
