marks perhaps than any of Oregon's ex

cannon to be fired upon Cleveland's re
election ; not because he told Grover to
mind his own business; not because he
received and welcomed Adlai so pleas
antly upon the Vice-President's recent
visit to the capital, but because he s to
day the best advertised man in America,
and the people want to see " what he
looks uxe."

jf the Treasury to redeem the outstand
ing 2 per cent bonds by a new issue of
ireenbacks. Cockrell calculates that
more than $20,000,000 of the $25,000,000
of these bonds will be presented for re
demption, and that thus an issue of
more than $20,000,000 in greenbacks will
be put in circulation. It is understood
that he has also in, reserve several other
propositions that will not be bleasing to
the national banks nor their friends. In
the Senate the new Democratic Senator
from Nebraska (Allen) is also prepared
to attack the bill with an amendment for
the suspension of interest on bonds de
posited by the national banks as the
basis for increased circulation.
Senator Peffer of Kansas has intro
duced ( by request ) two financial bills,
one of which provides for an issue of ,
$600,000,000 of legal-tender money on '
sheets of aluminium or silk-threaded
paper, as the people may prefer. The
amount is to be covered into the Treas
ury as "surplus money," and a call for
all the outstanding interest-bearing
bonds is to De maae, ana tney are to oe
redeemed at par and paid for from the
surplus fund. The second measure ia
headed the "New Silver Bill," and
directs the Secretary of the Treasury to
purchase all the gold, silver and sub
sidiary coins offered at any price, less
the cost of transportation and mintage,
without regard to the price in any
foreign country. The bullion purchased
is to be coined into standard coins at
the ratio of 16 to 1. No reserve is to be
held, except a sufficiency to meet the
feneral indebtedness of the government,
'or every dollar of gold and silver
coined the government is to issue $2 in
greenbacks to supply the place of the
national bank notes. No special amount
of bullion is to be purchased monthly,
but the purchase is to be so as to keep
the mluts running at their full capacity.
In payments all three kinds f currency
are to be used, and discrimination
against any special class of it ia pro
hibited. Commissioner Miller ot the bureau of
internal revenue, in response to an in
quiry mads recently, issues an official
statement as to the refusal of collectors
of internal revenue to receive checks in
payment of taxes. Mr. Miller said:
"The impression seems to be general
throughout the country that the refusal
of collectors of internal revenue to ac
cept checks in payment of internal
revenue taxes is in accordance with in
structions which have been issued by
the Secretary of the Treasury. No such
instructions L-ve been issued. The
fact is that until recently the collectors
have, at their own risk, accepted checks
in payment of taxes, and the same have
been received by the depositories as so
much cash. The condition of things in
the country being such at this time that
the collectors cannot use these checks
at the depositories in the navment of
amounts due from them on .account of
the internal revenue taxes, they are
compelled to exact payment in the
m.mner provided by section 3473 R. 8.,
which is as follows: 'And all taxes
and all other debts and demands, than
duties on imports, accruing or becoming
due to the United States, shall be paid
in )(uiu hiu silver corn, treasury notes,
United States notes or notes on national
banks.' If the banks could pay cur
rency on tha cheeks drawn upon them
by parties who have taxes to pay, the
checks would be received bv.tha mllect.
or a heretofore and the existing diffi
culty wontd be at an end," -
