SHERMAN'S MEASUBE.

IT WILE. PASS MBITHEB TBI HOUSB NOB THE SENAT15.

Strong Opposition to It In the Hoase— Betlrement of Greenbacks is Inevitable.

Special to the Indianapolis News. Wlasthlngtom, Jam. 4.—Speaker (Reed said yesterday that the resolution aubm'ltited to ithe (senafce early dn the week by Senator Shertman, which provides practteailly for the retirement of the greenbacks, would 'oolt paas the 'house of represenitJaitJvets. The fact iis, #t has lilttile show of ptasstoig tihe senate, for the, free silver men, wiho h'ave already shown themise^vels masters oif .tibe siituia.t,io»n in

ithe senate, are opposed ito

any

form of curretncy revteioni whSch does mot itoxslude free ajflver. The obj^totion wMch Ss ungefd a«iaii!n»t 'the proposition to retire tihe greenbacks amid Sherman silver notes, ds IthaJt 'It would result -to a contitaottto® of tihe curremlcy to the attnown of afbouft $500,000,000. The main argument aldvainiceid ito favor of Ithe free amd unliim'Jted ootoalge of silver 12s thialt !t would teoreaae thie circulating medium, or, as 'Obe aniti-aHlver mem say, "inflate the currency." It may readiilly be seen why free ailver mien, who are ecflfcontfessed ^Inflaltioniisits," should oppose 'tihe .plan to retire ithe greenlbatoks iais Ibei'nlg '3raconlsistten!t with their currency .'thietary.

This 4s sufficlenit excuse for their oppof^ilbitom, bult .there is £tm another reason quite as potent, amid .thiat ds, as Waited before, that Ithe fpeie silver men to the United States semiaie have agreed among themselves 'they will W%t pass any ftnamoSad bull or 'any other p^Ope of important legiislation from the fttnance comroidtee, .tihaJt does mot carry wXfli ft a law 'aluftihoitiatog the free amd unlScteted coinage otf silver. They "have cxxnitrol otf the finlartoe committee by 'the reorganization otf the senate, and are 3n a poisiayon, therefore, to carry oult WJheftr deftertntoaibilon to flavor of free silver.

In the 'latet senate by-ithe Demcraftliic reorganisation sdheme ithe comm"3ttee was evenly divided between (the sJBver anid anltl-ai'lver mem, With SenaJtor Voortiees, the ohlaiirmian, holdirtg itihe baHanoe of power. It was ihiis deciaUve •Wte, It wiiM be recaMed, wihffich can^esd ithe Sherman repeal bi® oiit of 'tihe commiitotee al^ter coirasideraJblie "deli3ber!aitTon." ,Bu)t th'e present committee, the ch'ild of 'the Republiloan. reorgaluisateiOn, is unaJteriaibly to, faVor of 'the free coinage of silver, for, as Setoaitor Teller remarked to 'the debate on the resolutSon for reongamifasaitison, ihad it nioit been' conceded to 'the free Silver mem 4p advance, 'the reorganiizaifcifon resolution would never ihaive passed the.senaite.

Opposition In the Hoase.

In the house there 4s aHairge majority opposed ito the retirement of the greenbateks at the present time. A gresit miamy of ithe -new memoers are actuated by a isenltftnenlt thait. Ithe greenbacks saved the country's creidit during the liate war, and that ais a form of currency, l^lhey oughit -not to be d'iiscarded alt this tilme. Congressmam' Connolly of Springfield, 111., who suocfeeded Mr. Springer, paiid a high tribute to the greenback to hte speeclh on the borid bffl last week. He admitted itihiat there W.U3 a strong patriio'ti-c sentiment back of the greenback, wh'ich, he saiid, was a pretty good sort of money, but, unfortunately, wlas like a certata "gowho went down from Jerusalem to Jericho anfd fell among ithdeves." There is a large conservalfcfive eflement among •the Republicans to the bouse who would flavor the gradual retirement of the greenbacks by the substitution of some Other form of currency, but who are opposed to any sudden extingutyhiing of this -Form of money 'by a sale of bonds such ais Sis proposed, by the presldenit and secretary of fche treasury-.

The RepuMdcams who are best versed on the finanoM situation privately admilt that the disturbi'nlg elemcntt in the currency situation Is the greenback, whdidh is used as a means of depleting the gold reserve, bult they seem to be uniwiiiLMttg to admit 'that tihe president}® vjgbt. That they come dangerously near doing so is shown by the form of tond bill first proposed by Mr. Dingley's ©omimStitee. This WM, (had1 it became a Jaiw to its orfiglnlal form, would have1 enaWeldi Ithe secretary of .the treasury to blaive held 'the greeinbaicks to the 'treasury, amd ithus, by gradually eequesterang Ithem, he could ihiaive fo ttoae caiHed to itihe entire 'issue, amd the 'bill oarrt'ed do authorfity for itheir reissue. Thus he would have been able to have accomplfehed steaflthlly wWat he bfed reooimmenlded to he done in a public manner.

As soon as ithe general purport otf 'the bill becaime knowm among 'the Republicams, Congressman Hopkins of Hl-i-noife started a revolt among the new members, who asserted' themselves againSt amy proposition to retire the greenbacks. Had the Dimgley committee !eflt the bffll «h' ffits ortgtoaS forth, it would have been defeated by a combination otf Democratic and Republ lwan voltes, in spite of the 5verwlheflawinlg Republksam major'ftty to 'thie house. Butt the adoption of itihe Hopfcted amendmerit to the committee enlatoled the bill •to be itSded safely over.

The Probabilities.

Senator Sherman's resolution is probably the forerunner of Republican legislation looking to the retirement of .thew gceemibaicks. Gradually fche new Republican members to «he bouse wJfll be educaited up tO JHw IiMai «Whl it would neit- "be, surpriistog Itf the mext congress passed a bill stPbsftanrtsMfty«-«nali8dy tog the recommendartJioms of the prestaerflr ankl Secrettary Carlisle. It will to all probability provide at the same time for a inieJw atddtStionial bainktog law and a repeal- or & reduction otf ithie tax on •nlationad bank oircuia/tiom.

The idea advanced by most Republicams conforms ito the banking bffl proposed by Congressman!! Sperry otf Cxrv nectfcuft, to t!e last 'htoulse. The. Mtoa was ithait by repealling «he tax on national bank circu^krtiton or reducing it, and toy autboriatog the itosue of oireuHa•tion to t-he ful par vaSoe of tbe-SKHnds deposited eds sewirfty with the comptroller of the currency, tihe national banks would be encouraged to go Into the business of issuing money more extenstvefly, and thatt the tesue of government bonds n^etsessary to provide for retiit« the greenibaclka would be «alran up rapSdly by «he banl» amd nsed a» the basks for their eircuJaJMon. In thaft he argued, tile greenbacks and Shertnan sliver wates would gradualMy w&hout any perceptible contraction of be dJepSaced by national bank notes, the currency.
