THE d'RRBCY.
Debate Begins in the House on Carlisle's Bill.
CHAIRMAN SPRINGKR ADVOCATES IT.
lie Admit* It In Not 8uoh M«nmirv H* He Would Like to Present—Mr. Walkwr Outline* 11 If. proposed Substitute.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The debate upon the currency plan proposed in the Carlisle bill, reported from the committee on bankinp and currency, was begun in the house Tuesday, according to the notice tfivcrt Monday by Chairman Springer. Objection was made to Mr. Springer's request for unanimous consent that general debate should be closed with the adjournment of the house for the holiday recess, and it began with no agreeineut of limitation in sight.
Mr. Springer OponK Lhr leb ,tf. Mr. Springer then look the floor nnd delivered the opening speech in favor of the currency bill. The great importance of the pending measure, he began, could not be more effectively emphasized than by referring to the report of the comptroller of the currency, which showed that last year there were S.OOO.OOU depositors in national banks having a capital stock aggregating fl,0«9,000,000. Their deposits amounted to $4,£20,000,(100.
Mr. Springer declared that the committee had given the subject the most careful consideration. It had carefully examined the recommendations of the president and the secretary of the treasury had called before it some of the (iblest financiers in the country, and the result had been the presentation of the pending measure as a measure of financial reform. He did not pretend to say that the bill represented the views of individual members of the committee. It was a compromise and as Buch harmonized fairly the views of all.
Mr. Springer then proceeded to detail at length 4he scheme of the bill, reviewing much of the ground covered in his report which has already beeu printed.
The hpeuker conU-asted the provisions of the bill for redemption of notes of failed banks, with those of the so-called Baltimore plan, asserting that they were practically identical in their effect and extent. AH the national banks and bankers in the United States have indorsed the Baltimore plan as a safe and desirable one.
Ill Case of Failure.
Mr. Mahon (rep., Pa.) asked what would be the effect of the scheme were, half of the banks to fail. Would the other half be assessed to pay the debts of the failed banks'/
Mr. Springer responded that if all the banks failed, the fund provided in the bill would be vastly more than sufficient to meet every demand made upon it.
Mr. Springer said that it would be impossible to make any definitely approximate estimate of Hie amount of currency that would be issued under the operations of the bill. Hut he would call the attention of the gentlemen to the fact that for every S30 of greenbacks deposited as security there would be issued 5100 of notes.
Mr. Springer said there was nothing in the bill looking to an increase of the bonded debt, nor of the legal tenders.
Sir. Cannon (rep., 111.) asked if the bill under discussion would prevent government officials from borrowing money ostensibly to maintain the gold reserve, but really to pay current expenses.
Mr. Springer—There is nothing on that subject in the bill. Not Ills Sort of a Hill.
Mr. Springer said that this was not such a bill as he would report if he could have his way. All legislation was the result of compromise, and if any benefits were expected, thissuould bo accepted. If this bill was enacted into law, it would vastly improve our financial system. It would not only do this, but in his opinion it would give the United States the best financial system of any civilized country in the world. "If we passed it," said he, "we would receive the commendation of our constituents, which we had not received at the last election."
Mr. Walker Itopllea.
Mr. Walker (rep., Mass.) followed. In opening he referred to the Baltimore plan, and dismissed it after a brief criticism by saying that it did not deserve a moment's consideration. He would confine himself to a discussion of the Carlisle bill and the Walker bill which he would offer as a substitute for the first-named, reviewing them section by section.
Proceeding to the elucidation of the provisions of his bill. Mr. Walker said they would issue two dollars of currency for every dollar deposited, and of the government notes thus deposited they required that. 90 per cent, of them should be destroyed, the remainder being reserved as a redemption fund.
Under the lead of questions by members surrounding him, Mr. Walker digressed to speak of the method of redemption of notes practiced in the Hank of Franco, which, he said, must be followed here in any safe system of finance. That was, at the option of the customer to give gold or silver in exchange for notes. l'rovlileli A UBC for Silver.
In this practice the pressure of the laws of trade compelled a man to take silver when that would serve his purpose, and gave gold to a man who must have the metal to pay his debts, lie desired, he said, to provide a use for silver, and his bill would do so. "The laws of trade," he said, "cannot be detied the laws of congress can."
Mr. Walker expressed the belief that if this bill was enacted into law that within eighteen months, before President Cleveland retired to private
life, the financial difficulties now threatening the country would not ba in process of settlement, but entirely solved. Mr. Walker said his bill provided for the appointment of a committee consisting of the five leading bankers in the five prinaipal redemption cities iwho shall give the secretary of the treasury advice and counsel iu all questions relating to the financial matters of the government. This was a measure of relief to the government that \yas worth a whole session of legislation.
Bland Has SuO.Utut«-
Hr- Blfcncr Wem.. "MoV will iriovV
strike out all after the enacting clause in the Carlisle bill and substitute therefor a measure he has prepared for a currency system based on coin and coin notes. Mr. Bland's plan does not interfere with the existing national bank system, but instead of allowing banks to iRsue notes, as the Carlisle plan proposed, Mr. Bland proposes that the government issue the notes, calling them coin notes. These are to bo redeemed in gold and silver coin, and the government is to coin both metals.
HILL FOR CLOTURE.
Tli« New York Senator Point. Out NCMBlty for Limiting Debate. "ASUINOTOX, Dec. 19. —One of the first acts of the senate Tuesday was to pass an appropriation of $100,000 for public printing, Chairman Oockrell, of the appropriations committee, say. ing that it was absolutely neoessary or the public printing would oome to a stop in the evening.
Senator Gallinger (rep., N. H,) offered a preamble and resolution looking towards the political union of Canada and tho United States and said he had no doubt of the ultimate attainment of this end. The resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations.
Senator Hill (dem., N. V. I called up his resolution for a cloture rule, and addressed the senate in advocacy of It. He said that the sentiment of the country seemed to desire the adoption of some buch rule. The demand for a change was not limited by any party environment. It was not sought merely to secure partisan advantage but it reflected the deep conviction that time was unnecessarily wasted that useful legislation was, at times, unreasonably obstructed, and that the conclusions of a majority did not find adequate and prompt expression. These views were widespread and could not longer well be ignored.
He said that so far as the senate was concerned, parliamentary reform was the need of the hour. The present afforded an opportune time for the accomplishment of the proposed innovation. The responsible majority in the senate should not abdicate its functions without such a change of rule as would be retained after the democratic control of the senate ceased. The measure of the fairness and wisdom now would be their surety for jnst such treatment hereafter. No silly cry of "gag law," no false assertion of "suppressing debate," no idle clamor about "the tyranny of the majority"—which always ignored the tyranny of the minority—should be permitted to deter senators from their plain duty in the premises.
Senator Hill spoke for an hour and was followed by Senator Hoar (rep., Mass.), who agreed with Senator Hill that the rules of the senate should be changed.
The resolution went over without action until to-day. The Nicaraguan canal bill was then taken up, and Senator Turpie (dem., Ind.) continued his attack upon it, but had not concluded his speech when at 4 o'clock the senate adjourned.

SYMPATHY FOR DEBS,
American Federation Shows It in Resolutions.
CLOSE OF THE DENVER CONVENTION.
The I.Mst NAMIOII RnllrtMiefl hy llifr«r Attnrk 1'pon the I.ending Members of the Knights of Labor.
DENVEU, Col., Dec. 19.—The attendance was light when the morning session of the convention of the American Federation of Labor was called Tuesd ay.
The special committee to whom was assigned the appeal of Kugene V. Debs for sympathy and financial aid in his present trouble iti the courts reported a resolution condemning certain actions of courts of equity and appealing to the public to secure legislation to check tile encroachments of the courts upon the personal liberties of the people also another resolution extending sympathy and commiseration to Debs and his associates and promising them moral and financial support In their struggle. Both resolutions were adopted.
A .Slnp at the Knight*.
Delegate McGuire submitted a full report upon the conference of heads of national organizations called by the Knights of Labor officers and hold in St. Louis last, June. The report favored the scheme for semi-annual conferences. Mr. Penna, of Indiana, made a lengthy speech in which he opposed recognition of the Knights of Labor so long as that organization 1s in the hands of "the present gang of officers." He declared it was a libel on all trades organizations to class Messrs. Sovereign, Bishop and Hayes as reformers, saying, in effect, that In neither of them nor in the three men combined did there exist any of the principles of reformation, honesty or common decency. He offered an amendment to the report declaring that the American Federation of Labor holds Itself in readiness to meet at all times with sincere men in the reform movement, but refuses to meet with the Knights of Labor as at present constituted, and until that body recognizes the principle of trade autonomy and ceases to encourage dual author ity iu any one trade. The amendment carried and the report a« amended was adopted.
Adjourned.
When the committee on boycotts reported with a big bundle of communications asking for indorsements of boycotts Delegate Prescott objected, showing that the constitution provided that all such matter must go to the executive counsel for consideration. This notion prevented the railroading of boycotts through the convention. After an address by David Holmes, the English labor agitator, the convention closed its memorable session.
DEBS WILL GO TO JAIL.
HP and HI. Aiaoclato nprlilt, Not to Fight Their Sentence, CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—President Debs and his associates at a long conference held Tuesday morning decided to go to jail and serve the terms imposed upon them by Judge Woods without making any effort to secure a habeas corpus or an appeal. This action was taken directly against the advice of their lawyers who even now Insist that they will try to get the appeal. Debs gave as his reason for this sudden change of front that he and the other directors have no confidence in thecourtsand believe they would not get a fair show there. "We thought it was better," he said, "to serve out the terms at once. We will got through all the quicker and we think we would certainly have tliein to serve in any case. All the prisoners will go to the Cook county jail, notwithstanding the fact that Judge Woods rulei! they could have their choice of jails. They think the time will pass more quickly when they are together, to say nothing of the immense advantage it will give them in transacting the business of the union.
Another conference was held Tuesday night as a result of which it was decided to push the case to its legal termination, although the defendants have no hope of victory. They say they will appeal itso the hiL'hercourts may be placed on record as endorsing Judge Woods. In the meantime. Monday being the expiration of the stay of execution granted by Judge Woods Ihev will go to jail.
