Tss WasHINGTON, Jan, 81, —The entire time of the senate to was consumed in the dis- cussion of Senator Stewart's resolution, d; claring that the secrotary of the treasury has no power to issue the bouds for which bids have been invited. Senator Allen opened the discussion in support of the reso- lution, Senator Hoar surprised somo of his colleagues by sustaining the position taken by Senators Allen and Stewart, and Senator peman made o speech directed principally to replying to the partisan strictures of Sen- ator Sherman yestorday, but giving no pression of liis opinion as to the authority of the seeretary to apply the procesds of the bonds to meet ecurrent expenses. A great discussion followed, participated i by Sena- tors Aldrich, Sherman, Voorhees and others. e resolution went over until to- morrow. The religious societies appoar to be malk- ing a systematic tight on whisky and beer, and desive to tax these articles to such a degree as to make them prohibitory. Peti- tions weve presented this morning by Sen- ator Cullom of Itlnois, praying that the internal revenue tax on these articles may be trebled in the new tariff law. That Bond Issue. The resolutions denying the authority of the secretary of the treasury to issue the proposed United States bonds came up and Senator Allen of Nebraska took tho floor to reply to the argument of Senator Sherman yesterday. ‘“The senator from Ohio,” suid Senator Allen, in discussing this question, tgaid thav this power of the secretary of the treasury to issue bouds was a continu- ing power and that it continued until water censed to run and time ends unless congress shall change or modify it by law. That law does not permit this construction. It pro- vides for a single act of redemption. 1t pro- vides that he may sell bonds for the purpose of making the redemption mentioned in the act. All through the act whera the subject is referred to is conveyed the iden in plain language that it is a single redemption that is to be made in this act. When that re- demption was made the power to issuo bonds ceased with it. Whenever this government called in the excess of $300,000,000 of out- standing treasury notes and redeemed and destroyed them the power to issue bonds censed. ; +Does not the duty of retirin, 000,000 continue the sume as beforei” in- quired Senator Platt. ‘Is not the secretary of tho treasury justas much bound to ro- deew, the treasury notes presented now as before the limitation of the redemption of those notes?” Allen's Positive Reply. +No sir,” replied Senator Allen. “Does the senator hold if a_treasury note is notv presented the treasurer is not bound “toredeen it z +1 do,"replied Mr. Allen. “He is not, under any act of congress now in existence.” Senator Stewart of Nevada interrupted and confirmed by his views the statement of Senator Allen. “Dol understand the semators from Ne- braska and Nevada to maintain,” said ator Allison, “'that under the resumption act of 1875 it was only intended to redeem or provide for the redemption of §75.000 000 of the greenbacks and when thosa $75,000,000 of greenbacks wero redoemed at tho troas- ury, it ‘was the end of the redemption?” “That is the extent of the powver given by the law,” insisted Sonator Stewart. “T dosire to kuow,” continuod Senator Aliison, **from the senator from Noebraska, who has the floor, if that is his consiruction of the law under the original act?” *‘Before unswering that question,” said Senator Allen, *I desire to ask the senator from Jowa a question. Is itnov true the power possessed by the secretary of the treasury mustbe such power as is conferred upon him by the statute!” . “No doubt about that,” assented Senator Allison. “Now [ am prepared to answer the sen- ator from lowa. My construction of the re sumption act is this: Thut the only power conferred by that act upon the secretary of the treasury was to redeem the volume of outstanding legal tender treasury notes on January 1, 1879, down to £300,000,000, and that his power stopped to redeem them when they reached that poiat. Limit of His Authority. “T assert,” maintained Senator Allen, “that under all these acts, construing the: together, the secretary of the treasury ne: had power to redeem beyond §300,000,000, and he does not possess that power today. Any other conciusion transfers the entire power over the financial affawrs of this nation from congress, where Lhe constitution vests it, to the untimited and unchecked discretion of the secrotary of the treasury.” “Then your construction is,” said Senator Allison, “that the §5,000,000 bonds which were sold by the secretary of the treasury for the purposo of preparing for resumption were illegally sold, at least over the excess of §i5,- the $300,- 000,000 “Not at all,” replied Senator Allen, “I have made no coutention of that kind. I may after a while,” “The plain meaning of the acts of 1878, as T conceive it,” gaid Senator Huvris of Ten- nessoe, s that every note when presented shall be redeemed, buz not that they must be redeemed—they may continue in civcula- tion.” *The law of 1878, said Senator Alli saffected only $45,000,000 of jrreenb: The law of 18756 is nterpreted, and was understood at the time by those who framed it, that tho $300,000,000" issued under the original act would be reissued from time to time when redeemed. The only effect of the act of 1878 was to make the act of 1875 more clear and to establish the limit.” The understaniing of senators of this law does not give it any force among the veopie o with the co-ordinated departments of the government,” retorted Senator Allen. “Ihe reserve of $100,000,000 lying there now,” suid Senator Allison, “is for the pur- pose of redeeming these greenback no other purpose.” Just w Mere Caprice, “The reserve fund,” said Senator Allen, “was a mere caprice of the secretary of the treasury. It was created long before this act to which its creation has been aceredited was passed. It rested upon no autherity derived from congress; upon no power given by the legislative branch of the govern- ment. The secretary of the treasury has ample power to destroy this reserve and uso it for the ordinary purposes of the govern- ment." At the conclusion of Allen's re- marks, Senator Hour of sachusetis, said \1 feel bound by a sense of publie duty to declare that, in my opinion, the bonds issued and sold by the treasury department under existing circumstances will be illsgal and carry no coustitutionnl nor lawful obligation on the government for their payment.' Senator Gorman then procecaded to urzue at considerable length to show that the re publicans were responsible for the existing condition of the treasury. Ile, howev took occasion in reference to the cl Senator Tellor that the reveal of the man law was responsible for it, to say, *I believe with the senator from Colorado thav there 1s much in the statement that the leg- {slation upon silver is in part respousible for the siuation.” Senator Mu (R OPY FIVE CENTS.
