NEITHER SUITS HIM. Secretary Carlisle on the Tariff and Bond Measures. Washington, Dec. 28.—Secretary Carlisle gave taa reporter his views on the tariff measure now' pending in congress. He said: •I had suppose3 r 'lhat very few could new be found who believe that our flnan-ct-l difficulties were caused by a deficiency In the ohlinary revenues of the government, or thit they can be relieved by Increasing taxes upon the commodities consumed by the people. These difficulties are the necessary results of our financial legislation, and they cannot be removed, even temporarily, by tariff laws nor by any other measures which do not directly enable the government to procure the means necessary for the maintenance of gold payments.” . "Do yoB think then that the bond bill repotted in <>e house will furnish any relief to the treasury?" ‘ I am satisfied that there is but one permanent remedy for our financial embarrassments, and that IS legislation provld- . Ing for the retirement and cancellation of the legal tender notes, but, recognising the fact that such a measure would require time for its consideration, and for its complete execution if adopted. I.had hoped that congress would immediately take the necessary steps to assist the government in its efforts to procure and maintain such a gold reserve as may be reqiiider to remove the distrust and apprehension which have precipitated the present emergency. The bill reported by the committee on ways and means falls very flar short of the requirements of the situation, and its passage will not beneficially affect t6e sItuMMA with which we now have to deal. , ”Our difficulties were produced and have been prolonged and aggravated by the fear that, notwithstanding all the efforts #f the administration, we ptay phimately be unable to procure gold for {he purpose of redeeming out notes, and consequently be for-ed to a silver basis, and this i < uxr cannot be w-holly removed until some ac> tian is taken by congress clearly indicating a purpose to pay all our obligations in gold when demanded by the holders. Although there is no substantial reason to distrust the character of our notes or other securities, or to doubt the purpose of the government to maintain gold payment. the fact that there has been no legislative decla’ation upon the subject and that no legal authority exists to make them expressly payable In gold, not only prevents the sale of our bonds for the replenishment of the reserve upon' the most advantageous terms. ' but increases the demands for gold by the presentation .of notes at the very times when we are least able to meet them without injury to our credit. Ts it was not generally expected that the three classes of bonds already authorised bv law will be paid in gold at maturity, if demanded, th£y could not be sold except at an enormous sacrifice, but even this general expectation is- not sufficient to altogether satisfy investors especially tn times of financial disturbance About US ttXi.OOO in Interest could have been saved to the p ople on the last issue of bonds if congress had consented to make them expressly payab'e in gold, instead of coin. This condition is not at all improved by the pending bill, which still requires all binds to be pavable ‘ln coin’ as heretofore, and Confers no new authority except the power to issue an 1 sell three per cent, bonds, also payable in coin, after five years, with interest payal le in coin semi-annually. At the present time our 30 year four per cent, bonds, w'th interest payable quarterly, are selling in the markets at rates, which yield investors more than three per cent, per annum. and this fact should net b<s overlooked in determining whether or not a five-year three-per cent, coin bond could -now be sold at par. as the penning bld requires.” ■ , . Speaking of the second section of ths bill, which authorizes the issue of certificates to meet deficiencies in the revenue, Secretary Carlisle said: “While there Is no necessity at the present time for resorting to the exercise of the power ■ which that section confers, and may not be in»future. the secretary of the treasury ought always to have the authority to issue and sell or use in the payment of expenses, short-time certificates, or bonds, of the character described in the bill. Such authority ought to have been conferred upon him a long time ago and it ought to be made permanent instead of being limited to Js6.oeo.fieo as it Is by the bill. Except ns to this limitation, the second section of the bill is a good one.” REDUCED TO ASHES. Mortal Remains of Harry Hayward, the Murderer. Incinerated at Chicago.
