WASHINOTOK, March 80.—The following In the full text of the president'* message vetoing the Bland seigniorage bill.

RBPBESINTAITVMI

I re-

turn without my approval bouse blU numbered 4,066, entitled "An act directing tbe coinage of the sliver bullion held in tbe treasury and for other purposes"

My strong dosire to avoid disagreement with those in both houses of congress who have tup* ported this bill would lead me to approve it If I Could believe that the public good would not be thereby endangered and that such action on my

art would be a proper dtochnrKe of official duty, however, I am unable to satisfy mysqlf that the proposed legislation is •Ither wise or opportune, my conception of the obligations and responsibilities attached to the

Esonal

at office I hold forbids the Indulgence of my desire and inexorably confines mete oourse which is diotatod by my reaeatt »zxd judgment, and pointed out by ft sincere purpose to protect and promote the general Interests of our people.

Financial PUturbance and Reoovery. The fluanolal disturbance which swept over the country during the last year was unparalleled in its severity and disastrous cons*Ouenoes. There seemed to be almost an enure displacement of faith in our (lnaooiai ability and a loss of confidence in our flsoal polioy, Among those who attempted to as* sign causes for our distress it was very generally oonocded that the operation of a provision of law then in force which required tho governmeat to purchase monthly a large amount 01 sllw bullion, and issue Its notes in pavment therefor, was either entirely, or to a large extent, responsible for our condition. This led to the repeal on the 1st day of November, IBM, Qt this statutory provision. We had, however, (alloc so low in the depths of depression, and timidity and apprehension had so completely galued control in financial ciroles, that our rapid rocuporatlon oould not be reasonably expected. Our recovery hae, nevertheless, steadily progressed, and, though less than Ave months have elapsed since the repeal oi the mischievous silver purchase requirement, a wholesome improvement is unmistakably apparent. Confldenco in our absolute solvency Is to such an extent reinstated and faith In our disposition to adhere to sound financial methods Is so far restored as to produce tho most encouraging results both at homo and abroad. The wheels of domestic industry have been slowly set in motion, and the tide of foreign investment has again started in our direction.

Our recoveiy being

BO

well under way nothing

should be done to check our convalosconcej nor should we forget that a relapse at this time would almost surely rcduce us to a lower stage of flnanolal distress than that from which we are just emerging.

A Foanible Ch«ok.

I believe that if the bl 11 under consideration should becomo a law it would be regarded as 0 retrogression from the financial intentions Indicated by our reoenl repeal of tho provision foroing silver balliop purchases, that It would weaken if it did not destroy returning faith and confidence In our souud financial tendencies, and that, as a oonsequenoe, our progress to renewed business health would be unfortunately checked and a return to our recent distressing plight seriously threatened.

The Purchase of Silver.

This proposed legislation Is so related to the currency conditions growing out of the law compelling the purchase of silver by the government that a glance at such conditions, and a partial review of the law referred to, may nol be unprofitable.

Between the llth day of August, 1890. when the law became operative, aud the 1st day 0! November, 1WW, when the clause it contained directing the purchase of silver was repealed, there were purchased by tho secretary of the treasury Liore than 108,000,000 Of ounoes of sliver bullion. Iu payment for this bullion the government issued its treasury notes of various denominations, amounting to nearly tl56,000,000, which notes were immediately added to tbe currency in circulation among our people Such notes were by the law made legal tender In payment of all debts, publlo and private, except when otherwise expressly stlpulated,and.wero made receivable for oustoms, taxes and all public dues, and When so received might be so reissued. They were also permitted to be held by banklug aasooiatlons as a part of their lawful reserves. On the demand of the holders these treasury notes were to be redeemed in gold or silver ooin in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury, but it was deolared as a part of this redemption provision that it was "the established polioy of tho United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with eaoh other upon tho present legal ratio, or suoh ratio as may be provided by law." The money coined from such bullion was to be standard silver dollars, and after directing tho immediate coinage of a little less than 88,000.000 ounces the law provided that as much of the remaining bullion should bo thereafter oolned as might be necessary to provide for the redemption of the treasury notes issued on its purchase, and that "any gain or seigniorage arising from suoh coinage shall be accounted for and paid into tho treasury," This gain or seigniorage evidently indicates so much of the bullion owned by tbe government as should remain after using a aufflolent amount to coin as many standard silver dollars as should equal in number the dollars represented bv the treasury notes issued in of tni treasury notes now outstanding and in

.yment he entire quantity of bullion.

circulation amount to lifts,P&1.280, and, although there has been thus far but a comparatively small amount of this bullion coined, yet the socalled gain or seigniorage, as above defined, which would arise from the ooinage of the entire mass has been easily ascertained to be a quantity of bullion sufficient to make when Coined 65,156,681 standard silver dollirrv

Parity Must Be Maintained. Considering tho present intrinsic relation between gold ana slmr, the maintenance of th* parity between tbe two motals, as mentioned in this law, can mean nothing less than the maintenance of suoh a parity in tbe estimation ftnd confidence of the people who use our money In their dally transactions. Manifestly tho maintenance of this parity can only be a» tompllshed, so far as ft is affectcd by thes6 treasury notes, and in the estimation of the holders of the same, by giving to suoh holders, on their redemption, the coin, whether it is gold or silvois which they prefer. It folIpws that while in terms the law leaves tbe phoice of ooln to bt paid on such redemption to (he discretion of the seoretary of the treasury, the exercise of this dlsoretlon, if opposed to the demands of tho holder, is entirely Inconsistent with tne effective and beneficial maintenance of the parity between tbe two metals.

If both gold aud silver are to servo us as money, and if they together are to supply to our people a safe ana stable ourrenoy, the neoessity of preserving this parity is obvious, Bucb necessity has been repeatedly 9oooeded In th$ platforms of both political parties and in our federal statutes.* is oowhore more emphatically recognized ian in the recent law whloh repealed ie provision under which the bullion now on nand was purchased. This law insists upon the "maintenance of the parity In value of the oolns of the two metals and the equal power of every doliar at all times in the markets and In tho payment of debts."

The seoretary of the troasury has therefore, for the best of reasons, not only promptly complied with every demand for the redemption of theso treasury notes in gold, but tho present situation, as well as the loiter and spirit of the law, Appear plainly to justify, If they do not enjoin upon him, a continuation of suoh redemption.

The conditions I have endeavored to prosent may be thus summarized: The government has purchased and

now has on band suflloient silver bullion to per*

mit the coinage of all the silver dollars necessary to redeem, in such dollars, the treasury notes issued for the purchase of said stiver bullion and enough besides to ooiu, a* gain or seigniorage, M, 166,681 additional standard silver dolors. Second There are outstanding and now in circulation trcaaury notes issued in payment of the bulllou purchased amountlng to 1162,061,280. These notes are legal tender in payment of all debts, nubile and private, exoept when otherwise expressly stipulated they are receivable for oustoms, taxes aud all publlo duesi when held by banking associations they may be oounted as part of their lawful reserves, and they are redeemed by the government In gold at the option of the holders. These advantageous attributes were deliberately attaohed to these notes at the time of their Issues they are fully understood by our people to whom such notes have been distributed as ourrenoy, and have inspired confidence in their safety and value, and have undoubtedly thus Induced their oontlnued and contented use as money, instead of anxtoty for their redemption. ^v:i

Objections Speoifloally Stated.'!'.!:^ Having referred to some Inoldents which I deem relevant to the subject, it remains for me to submit a specific statement of my objections to the bill now under consideration!

This bill oonsists of two seotions, excluding one which merelv appropriates a sum sufficient to oarry the aot Into effect The first section provides for the immediate ooinage of the silver bullion )n the treasury whloh represents the so-called gain or seigniorage, or which would arise from the coinage of all the bullion on hand, whloh gain or seigniorage this seotlon dadtres to be Wfi, 166,6®

1.

It dlreoui that the money so coined or the certificates Issued thereon shall be used in the payment of publlo expenditures, and protides that if the needs of the treasury demand It, the secretary of the treasury may In his discretion issue silver certificates In excess of such ooinage, notosooedlng the amount of seigniorage in said section authorised to be oolned. The second seotlon directs that as soon as possible after tho ooinage of this seigniorage tho remainder of tho bullion held by tbe government shall be coined Into Legal tender standard silver dollars, and that they shall be held in the treasury for the redemption of the treasury notes Issued in the purcnasc of said bullion. It provides that as fast as the bullion shall be oolned for the redemption of said notes, they shall not be reissued but shall be canceled and destroyed in amounts equal to the ooln held at any time in the treasury derived from the ooinage provided for. aud that silver certificates shall be Issued on such coin In tbe manner now provided by law. It is, however, especially deolared in said seotlon that the aot shall not be oonstnied to ohonge existing laws relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of the treasury notes issued for the purchase of the silver bullion to be coined.

Faulty Lu Construction.

The entire bill Is most unfortunately constructed. Nearly every sentence presents uncertainty and invites ooutrover^y as to iu meaning and intent The first section is especially faulty in this respeot, and it is extremely aoubtful whether Its lauguago will permit tbt consummation of Its supposed purposes. 1 an. led to boliove that the promoters of the bill in tended in this section to provide for the coin age of tbe bullion constituting the gain 01 seigniorage, as It Is called, into standard sllvei dollars and yet there is positively nothlug in tbe section to prevent it* coinage into any description of silvei coins uow authorized under any existing law. 1 suppose this section was also intended, in oase the needs of the treasury called foi money faster than the solgnlornge bullion could actually be oolned, to permit the issue oi silver oertlfioates in advance of suoh ooinage: but its language would seem to permit tbe lssu auce of such certificates to double the amount of seigniorage as stated, one-half of wnicli would not represent an ounoe of silver in the treasury. The debate upon this seotlon in the congress developed an earnest and positive difference of opinion as to its object and mean ing. In any event I am clear that the present perplexities and embarrassments uf tbe secretary of the treasury ought not to be augmented by devolving upon him the execution of law so uncertain and confused. 1 am not willing, however, to rest my ob jectlon to this section solely on these grounds in my judgment sound llnanoo does not com mend a further infusion of silver luto oui currency at this time, unaccompanied by further adequate provision for the maintenance In our treasury of a safe gold reserve.

Issue of Certificates.

Doubts also arias as to the meaning and con sfcruction of the second section of the bill. II tho sliver dollars therein direotod to be coined are, as the section provider, to be held In the treasury for the redemption of treasury notes, It is suggested that, strictly speaking, oertlfioates cannot be Issued on such ooln 'In the manner now provided by law," because theee dollars are money held in the treasury for the express purpose of redeeming troasury notes on demand, which would ordinarily moan that they were set apart for the purpose oi substituting them for these troasury notes. They are not, therefore, held In such ft way as to furnish a basis for oertlfioates aocordlng to any provision of existing law. If, however, silver certificates oan properly be Issued upon these dollars, there Is nothing In tbe seotlon to Indicate tho characteristics and functions of these oertlfioates. If they were to be of the samo character as silver certificates In circulation under existing laws they would at best be receivable only for customs, taxes and all publlo dues and under tho language of this seotlon it Is. to say the least, extremely doubtful whether the oertlfioates it contemplates would be lawfully received even for suoh purposes.

Whatever else may be sold of the uncertainties of expression in this bill, they certainly ought not to bo found in legislation affeotlng subjects so Important and far-reaching as our finances and currency. In stating other and more important reasons for my disapproval of this seotlon I shall, however, assumo that under its provisions the treasury notes Issued in payment for silver bullion will continue to be redeemed as heretofore In silvor or gold, at the option of the holders, and that if when tl^ey are presented for redemption, or reach the treasury in any other manner, there are in the treasury oolned sliver dollars equal in nominal value to such treasury notos, then, and In that oase, the notes will be destroyed and silver certificates to an equal amount be substituted.

Dangerous aud Ill-AdvUed.

1 am convinced that this scheme Is ill-advised snd dangerous. As an ultimate result of its operation treasury notes wbloh are legal tender for all debts, publlo and private, and which are redeemable in gold or silver, at tbe option of the holder, will be replaced by sliver oertlfioates whloh, whatever may bo their oharaoter and description, will have none of these qualities. In anticipation of this result and as an Immediate effeot the treasury notes will naturally appreciate In value and desirability. The fact that gold can be realized upon them, and tbs further fact that their destruction has been decreed when they reaoh tho treasury, must tend to their withdrawal from general circulation to be immodlately presented for gold redemption or to be hoanded for presentation at a more convenient season. The sequel to both operations will be a large addition to the silver currenoy in our circulation and a corresponding reduction of gold in the treasury. The argument has been made that these things will not occur at once because a long time must elapse before the coinage of anything but the seigniorage can be entered upon. If the physical effoots of the exeoutlon of the second seotlon of this bill are not to be realized until far in the future, this may furnish a strong reason why It should not be passed so much In advance but the postponement of iu actual operation cannot prevent the fear and loss of confidence and nervous precaution which would immediately follow its passage and bring about its worst consequences. I regard this section of the bill as embodying a plau by which the government will be obliged to pay out Its scanty store of gold for no other purpose than to force an unnatural addition of silver money into the hands of our people- This Is au exuot reversal of the policy which safe finance dictates If we are to preserve parity between gold and silver and .maintHin sensible bimetallism.

Outstanding Silver Certificates. We have now outstanding more than 1338,000,« W0 in silver certificates issued uudor existing

laws. They are serving the purpose of money u.i" fully ami without question. Our gold reserve. amounting to only a little more than 1100,000.000, is directly charged with the reW mptloii of 8846,000,000 of Uulted States notes. Wh«n it in proposed to inflate our silvor currency It is a time for strengthening our gold reserve instead of depleting It I cannot conceive of a longer stop toward silvrr monometallism than we take when we spend our gold to buy silver certificates for circulation, especially in view of the pmctScai dimoultiew surrounding the replenishment of our gold.

Better Power to Issue Honri*. This leads me to earnestly present the desirability of granting to the secretary of the treasury a better power than now exist* to issue bonds to protect our gold reserve wbeu for any reason it should be necossary. Our currenoy is in such a oonfused eouditlon and our financial affairs are apt to assume at any time so crittoal a position that it seems to mo such a course is dlotated by ordinary prudence.

I am not insensible to the arguments 1n favor of colutng the bullion seigniorage now In the treasury, aud I believe it could bo done safely and with advantaire, If the secretary of the troasury had the power to lssu© bonds at a low rste of Interest under authority In substitution of that now existing and better suited to the protection of the treasury.

T1o|*ftaI for the Future of Sliver. 1 hope away will present itself in the near future for the adjustment of our monetary affair* in such a comprohensive and conservative inner n* will acoord to silver Its proper place In our currency butiu the moantime I am extremely solicitous that whatever aotion we take on this subject may be such as to prevent loss and discouragement to our poople at home and the destruction of confidence In our financial management abroad.

He said he met her first on the train, llo was returuiug- from tho front of the ear and had to pass in front of her, bowing as he did so, "iu a perfectly proper way." He continued: "She mentioned my nnme. I told lier I supposed I knew her, but I could not recall her name. This was In 1884. She told me that her name was Breckinridge Pollard. Her father

Breckinridge, and had she been boru a hoy she would have been named John Breckinridge Pollard." lie then told of the conversation which passed between them and of having received a letter from her asking him to call on her at the Wesleyan university. He wrote her to tell him why she wanted him. She said it was on important business. He met her a little later in Cincinnati. "She said she supposed I was surprised to get such a letter from a school girl," he continued. "1 replied smilingly that 1 supposed that she had exaggerated the importance of the matter. She replied that it was very Important, more important than a divorce."

The witness proceeded to give the details of his conversation with Miss Pollard on this occasion. She told him that she had promised to marry Rhodes, but that she could not keep her promise. which she only gave because she was ambitious.to secure an education, and Rhodes had agreed to furnish her the means providing she would marry him. Col. Kreckinridge said he addressed some words of sympathy with her, and shortly afterwards started to leave the reception room at the college in which the meeting \va.-- taking place. Miss l'ollard then admitted to him, in subatance, that her relations with Rhodes were of a most intimate character. He (ltreckinridtfe) told her, then, that she ought, in justice and protection to herself, marry Rhodes, but she said she oould not she had grown away from him, and that her knowledge of other men had made his presence dis-' tasteful to- her. Again, the witness said, he urged her to marry Rhodes, pointing out the possibility of her double life coming up to spoil her future, but she seemed determined not to do so. Before leaving the college that day, at her suggestion, a drive was arranged for the evening. He detailed the circumstances of tho drive, during which, because of the talk and actions of the plaintiff, their first criminal intimacy occurred. lie denied that he used any persuasion to effect such relations, neither did he make any protestations of love for the woman. Returning to the city, and just before reaching tho college about 10 p. in., tho witness said he placed a 110 bill in her hand. She at first refused to acoept it, but was persuaded to do so. During the drive, he said, her conversation, bearing aud appearance seemed to indicate that she was a young woman of 20 or 22 years of age. At that point court adjourned for the day.

STORMY 8CKXK8.

WABHISGTOX,

March so.— An inter­

pretation of the rules which brought forth the remarks from Mr. Reed and Mr. Crisp led to an exciting scene Thursday in the house. After the reception of the president's message a vote on the pending motion, the JoyO'Neill contested election case was had, and resulted 154 to 11, fourteen short of a quorum. Of the eleven who voted against the motion (In effect against giving O'Neill the seat) ten were democrats.

R.ed Overruled.

Then came more filibustering, and Mr. Patterson offered a resolution to revoke the leave of absence and instruct the sergeant-at-arms to take the absentees Into custody. Mr. Reed attempted to make the point that a quorum was necessary to adopt a resolution continuing an order lu force beyond adjournment, but the speaker overruled him. The previous questlou was ordered—102 to 2.

Mr. Reed took the floor and In a brief speech scored the democratic side, dwelling particularly upon the absurdity of a proceeding whioh aimed at procuring a quorum by duress and after one was secured left the house powerless to record Its presence.

Crlip Ropliei.

Something In what Mr. Reed said evidently stung Speaker Crisp, who was on the floor at the time, "and when the ex-spcaker sat down Speaker Crisp arose. The speaksr said he only wanted to call attention to the persistence with whloh the leader of the minority (Mr. Reed) had oalled attention to the absolute iniquity of. the practice of members in refusing to vote when their names were called. Mr. Reed, (Speaker Crisp went on, had placed his party in a position when he made his quorum counting ruling where it either had to sustain that ruling or renounce him. But, continued Mr. Crisp, when Mr. Reed had once made the ruling his party was forced to sustain him. The Bpeaker proceeded to picture the absolute power of the ex-speaker over his side of the house. He was the chief supervisor of his side. "It looks as if you needed a chief supervisor on your own side," shouted Mr. Boutelle. "What we possess and what you need," replied the speaker, deliberately, "is Independence of thought There never was aud never will be a chief supervisor on this side."

Party Feoliuic Aroused.

Mr. Reed expressed a desire to reply to the speaker but his time had expired and he was not permitted to do so. He then asked for a division of the resolution, but Mr. Stone (Ky.) In the chair ruled that tbe proposition was not divisible. Party feeling had been aroused by the remarks of ftir. Reed and Speaker Crisp and the republicans began filibustering with redoubled vigor, in the course of whloh Mr. Lacey appealed from a decision of the chair. The speaker refused to eutaln the appeal. Mr. Reed, standing in the oenter aisle, insisted on knowing the grounds upon which the speaker declined to sustain the appeal, but the speaker only rapped with hiB gavel and declined emphatically to state the grounds. Mr. Payne moved to adjourn, and the speaker declined to entertain this motion.

Everybody Kxcltad.

By this time the members on both sides were wildly excited. Partisan blood was at fever heat, and for several minutes pandemonium reigned. From all parts of the floor members were shouting tlieir defiance, and several personal collisions were narrowly averted.

Shut up!" yelled some one aoross the floor, while the speaker banged his gavel and ordered all members to be seated. "I rise to a question of order," shouted Mr. Payne. "And the chair refuses to rccognUe the gentleman for that purpose," returned the speaker. "The question Is on the adoption of the resolution instructing the sergeant-at-arms to arrest absentees as many as favor it will say aye, contrary, no."

In the midst of the chorus of voices that followed Messrs. Payne, Boutelle and Reed were on their feet clamoring for recognition. The speaker refused to recognize them. "Tellers!" shouted Mr. Payne. Pending that motion he moved to adjourn. The speaker declined to entertain the motion. Mr. Reed loudly insisted on his right to know why, but the speaker replied by ordering him to take his seat.

Mr. Patterson called for the ayes and noes, and Mr. Payne demanded tellers on the motion. The speaker appointed Mr. Patterson and Mr. Payne. Tho latter was still clamoring to be recognized on his point of order. The speaker o.-dered Mr. P^iyne to take his place as teller. Mr. Payno declined to servo.

Heed Re/uses to Act.

''The chair then appoints the gentle-

A Viand of rullians lias possession o( this house," shouted Mr. Boutelle. When a suflloient number had been counted by Mr. Patterson to order the ayes and noes the announcement was made. In a ohoru.s l.lie republicans were protesting again-1 this irregularity and Mr. Reed in :i loud voice declared that tho chair knew the rules re quired two tellers. "Tbe 1 louse understands the circum­

stances." replied Speaker Crisp, firmly. "The chair takgs all the consequences." OUI Thno* Kccnllori.

The scene reminded the old members of the Fifty-first congress. Mr. Payno' was still talking loudly in the aisle asfciff tho clerk began calling the roll. He was ordered to take his seat and replied that he would do so when he got ready. The speaker met this retort by declaring that he was ready to entertain a motion to bring the gentleman to the bar of the house for contumely.

Mr. Outhwaite and Mr. Boutelle, iu the general confusion that followed, were engaged in a wordy duel, aud, Mr. Outhwaite threatened to move that" Mr. Boutelle be called to the bar for J,31 contempt. The speaker decided that 'fA I such proceedings could not interrupt a roll call, but upon its completion they I were not renewed. Tho resolution was adopted —104 to 8. Tho house adjourned.
