A OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNI NGy JANUARY INGLE COPY FIVE CEN WANTS GOLD BONDS Danger of the Present Condition of the Country's Finances, PRESIDENT INDITES ANOTHZR MESSAGEL Congress Oalled On to Act Promptly and Efficiently in the Emergency. DANGZR IN THE TREASUIY D-PLETION Necessity for the Maintenance of the Gold Reserve Emphasized, NO PERMANINT KEMEDY EVEN HINTED AT Aut Time Honds to Be Redeemable in Gold—Uleveland's Attitude To- rity Asked for the Issuance of Long- ward Silver Made Clear. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The president at noon today sent a specal message to con- gress calling its earnest and special attention to the necessity for immediate legislation for the protection of the treasury from further depletion of its gold reserve. The message s vigorous in its tone and calls for prompt and efficient action on the part of congress. It states that the temporary expedients cannot result in permanent good and that the busi- ness Interests of the country demand decisive action that will leave no doubt of the inten- tion of the United States to maintain the in- tegrity of its national finances, Authority for large bond issues is asked and in addition a specific request is made for power to issue gold bonds. The message asks that the secretary of the treasury be e powered to issue bonds for the purpose of re- couping the gold reserve, of strengthening our finances, or of replenishing the treasury in case the present monthly deficiency of revenue continue: Attention is called to our monetary sy: tems and special reference is made to the s wver question. The message is as follows: DANGER IMPENDING. To the Semate and House of Representa- tives: In my last annual message I com- mended to the serious consideration of con- gress the condition of our national finances and in connection with the subject endorsed the plan of currency legislation which at that tme secmed to furnish protection against impending danger. This plan has not been approved by congress. In the mean- time the situation has so changed that the emergency now appears so threatening that 1 deem it my duty to ask at the hands of the legislative branch of the government such prompt and effective action as will restore confidence in our financial soundness and avert business disaster and universal dis- tress amcng our people. Whatever may be the merits of the plan outlined in my annual message as a remedy for ills existing and as a safeguard against the depletion of the gold reserve then in the treasury I am now con- vinced that its reccption by the congress and our present advanced state of financial per- plexites necessitated additional or different legislation. With natural resources unlimited in variety and productive strength, and with A people whose activity and enterprise seek only a fair opportunity to achieve national success and greatness, our progress should not be checked by a false financial policy and a heedless disregard of sound monetary laws, nor should the timidity and fear which they engender stand in tho way of our prosperity. 1t is hardly disputed that this predicament confronts us today. Therefore, no one in any degree responsible for the making and execu- tion of our laws should fall to see a patriotic duty in honestly and sincerely attempting to relieve the situation. Manifestly this effort will not succeed unless it is made untram- meled by the prejudice of partisanship and with a steadfast determination to resist the temptation to accomplish party advantage. We may well remember that if we are af- fllcted with financial difficult'es all our peo- ple in all stations of life are concerned and surely those who suffer will not receive the promotion of parly Interests as an excuse for permitting our present troubles to advance to a disastrous conclusion, It is also of the ut- most importance that we approach the study of the problems presented as free as poss ble from the tyranny of preconceived opinions to be able to seek with unclouded vision a safe and the end that in & common danger we may reagonablo protection. The real trouble which confronts us con- slsts in a lack of confidence, widespread and constantly increasing, in the continued dis- ability or disposition of the government to pay Its obligations in gold. This lack of con- fidence grows to some extent out of the pal- pable and studied embarrassments attending the government under existing law to pro- curo gold and to a greater extent out of the impossibility of either keeping it in the treas- ury or cancel'ng obligations by its expendi- ture after it is obtained. BONDS THE ONLY METHOD LEFT. The only way left open fo the government for producing gold is by the issue and sale of bonds. The only bonds that can be fssued were anthorized nearly twenty-five years ago and are not well caleulated to meet our pres- ent needs. Among other disadvantages they are made pavable In con instead of specifi- eally in gold, which, under existing condi- tions, detracts largely and in an Increasing ratio from thelr desirability as investments. It is by no means certain that bonds of this description will be much longer disposed of at a price creditable to the financial gharacter of our government, The most dangerous and irritating feature of the situation, however, remains to be mentioned. 1t is found in the means by which the treasury is despoiled of the gold thus obtained without eanceling a single gov- ernment obligation and solely for the benefit of those who find profit in shipping it abroad or whose fears induce them to hoard it at home. ‘We have outstanding about $500,000,000 of currency notes of the government, for' which and curiously enough the law requires that when presented, and, in fact, redeemed and paid in gold, (hey shall be relssued. Thus the same nofes may do duty many times in drawing gold from the treasury, Nor can the process be arrested as long as private parties who profit or other- wise see an advantage in repealing the opera- tion, More than $300,000,000 n these notes has already been redeemed in gold, and not- withstanding such redemption, they are still gold may be demanded outstanding. Since the 17th day of January 1804, our bonded interest bearing debts have been increased $100,000,000 for the purpose of our coin reserve obtaining gold to replen Two issues were made, amounting (o $50, 000,000 each, one in January and the other in November. As a result of the first issue there was- realized something more than $68,000,000 in gold. Between that issue and the succeeding one n November, compris a period of about ten months, nearly $103 000,000 In gold was drawn from the treasury This made the second issue necessary. and 55,000,000 1n gold was agaln realized. Between the date of this me, covering a perlod of only about two months, more than $69,000,000 in gold was expended without any capcellation of government obligations o {n ey LALLM any permanent way benefiting our people or Frovbg rrrrkiy w R upon that mere than gecond lssue and the present improving our pecuniary situation. ) DOES NOT REST ON REVENUR The financial events of the past year sug- gest facts and conditions which should cer tainly arrest attention. Mo ping abroad or hoarding at home. ¢ than $172,000,- 000 in gold has been drawn out of the treas ury during the year for the purpose of ship- that amount, being about $69,000,000, was thus indicating a marked acceleration of the depleting process with the lapse of time. The obligations upon which the gold has been drawn from the treasury are still out standing and are avallable for use in re- peating the exhausting operation with shorter intervals as our perplexities accumu late. Conditions are certalnly supervening tend- ing to make the bonds which may be issued to replenish our gold less useful for that purpose. An adequate gold reserve Is in all_circumstonces absolutely essential to the upholding of our public credit and to the ainterfance of our high national character. Our gold reserve has agaln reached such a stage of diminution as to require its speedy reinforcoment. The aggravations that must inevitably follow present condi- tions will surely lead to misfortune and loss not only to our national credit and pros- perity and to financlal enterprise, but to those of our people who seek employment as a means of livellhood and those whose only capital Is their daily labor. It will hardly do to say that a simple increase of revenue will cure our troubles. The apprehension now existing and con stantly Increasing as to our financial ability does not rest upon calculation of our reve nue. The time has passed when the eyes of investors abroad and our people at home were fixed upon the revenues of this gov- ernment. Changed conditions have att their attention to the gold of the gc ment. There need be no fear that we can- not pay our current expenses with such treasury a comfortable surplus of more than $63,000,000, but it is not in gold and there- fore does not meet our difficulty. SILVER NOT PART OF THE QUESTION. I cannot see that the differences of opin- fon concerning the extent of which silver ought to be coined or used in our currency should interfere with the counsels of those whose duty it s to rectify evils now ap- parent in our financial situation. They have to consider the question of national credit and the consequences that will follow from its colla Whatever ideas may be in- sisted on as to silver or bimetallism, a proper solution of the question now press- ing upon us only requires a recognition of gold as well as siiver and a concession of its importance, rightfully or wrongfully ac- auired, as a basis of national credit, a ne- cessity in the honorable discharge of our obligations payable in gold and a badge of solvency. 1'do not understand that the real friends” of silver desire a condition that might follow Inaction or neglect to appre- clate the meaning of the present exigenc it it should result in the entire banishment of gold from our financial and currency ar- rangements, Besides the treasury notes, which cer- tainly should be paid in gold, amounting to nearly $500,000,000 there will fall due in 04 $100,000,000 of bonds issued during the t year, for which we have received gold, nd in 1907 nearly $600,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds issued in 1877. Shail the payment of the obligations in gold be repudiated? If they are to be paid in such a manner as the preservation of our national honor and na- tional solvency demands we should not de- stroy or even imperil our ability to supply ourselves with gold for that purpose. While T am not unfriendly to silver, and while I desire to see it recognized to such an extent as is consistent with financial safety and the preservation of national honor and credit, I am not willing to see gold en- tirely banished from our currency and finances. ~ To avert such a_consequence I believe thorough and remedial legislation should be promptly passed. I therefore beg the congress to give the subject immediate attention. In my opinion the secretary of the treas- ury should be authorized to issue bonds of the government for the purpose of procuring and maintaining a sufficient gold reserve and the redemption and cancellation of the United States legal tender notes and the treasury notes issued for the purchase of silver under the law of July 14, 1890. We should be relleved from the humiliating process of is suing bonds to procure gold to be Immedi- ately and repeatedly drawn out on these obligations for purposes not related to the benefit of our government or our people. The principal and interest of these bonds should be payable on their face in gold, be- cause they should be sold only for gold or its representative and because there would now probably be difficulty in favorably disposing of bonds not containing this stipulation. 1 suggest that the bonds be issued in denomi- nations of $20 and $50 and their multiples, and that they bear interest at a rate not ex- ceeding 8 per cent per annum. I do not see why they should not be payable fifty years from their dates. We of the present generation have large amounts to pay if we meet our obligations, and long bonds are most saleable. ‘The secretary of the treasury might well be permitted at his discretion to receive on the sale of the bonds the legal tender and treasury notes to be retired, and of course, when they are thus retired or redeemed In gold they should be canceled. USE OF THE BONDS. These bonds, under existing laws, could be deposited by national b circulation, and such banks should be allowed Ia these or any other bonds so deposited, excepl bonds outstanding bearing only 2 per cent interest and which sell in the market at less allowed to take out circulating notes of a are now outstanding reach the treasury, ex should be canceled and notes of the denomi- stead.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 28.—The Fourth battalion of infantry is maki g preparations the other forces now there for transporta- tion by sea for the Guatemalan invasion, if thus ordered. Francols Varola Mu the Cuban jours nalist, who made such a viclous attack upon Mexico in connection with the reception ot the Guatemalan minister by General Diaz, is supposed to have left Vera Cruz yesters day by steamer for Havana. Several influ- ential newspaper men of this capital made petition to Don Romero Rublo, secretary of state, asking official action against Muras, Getting wind of the matter he quietly left town without fighting any of the numerous duels which he had returned to particl- pate in Appearances are that the pending Guate- malan war will not be as expensive to Mexico as was at first thought, The gov- ernment has received many proffers of aid from wealthy citizens of the republic and the mass of the people are so enthusiastic in their promises that these items, with the numerous state appropriations, will very rly relieve the treasury department from material expenditure of any extraordinary nature. The country is ready and willing also for a special war tax if the government finds this necessary, The president and cabinet were in secrot session all day and until a late hour and de- cline to divulge anything as to the nature of the conference. The only thing known positively is that nothing has yet been done officially as to formulating Mexizo's answer to the last note from Guatemala. It is re- ported that Minister of Financo Limantour will leave in the morning for Guadalajara. What the object of the trip is, is not known, unless it be to confer with the state govern- ment ding finances, it having been pop- ularly reported here that the different states had pled fal ald to the general goy- ernment in the event of necessity for war. The government arsenal here is still works ing day and night. NO OF AT THE United States Can Do Nothing More to Pre= vent War, WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The United States has exhausted all proper means of preventing a hostile collision between Mexico and Guatemala, and the two countries must settle their dispute without further restraint exercised by the United "States. Secretary Gresham's telegram to the Mexican govern- ment expressing the hope of the president that the matter might be settled by reference to some friendly nation has met With a very flattering reply from the Mexican govern- ment, but in substance it holds that the differs ence with Guatemala is such that, owing to the attitude of that country, it will not admit of arbitration. The inference Is that Guatemala must either promptly submit to Mexico's terms of a surrender of her claims to lands in dispute on the boundary, or fight. In this state of the oase nothing can be dono by our government at present to avert a clash, BELLION 1S SPREADING.

The government troops were commanded by generals Ulloa and Anglo. Later it became known that a revelution had broken out in the departments of Cauca, Bol~ ivar, Magdalena and Antioqua. Owing to the fact that the telegraph wires have been cut, no accurate particulars are obtainable, It is known, however, that martial law has been proclaimed at Carthegenia, and that a portion of the detachment of troops stationed at Panama have been withdrawn. The inhab- itants are depending upon American protec- tion. Some of the leaders of the disturbance have been arrested.
