VOL. VIII THE DALLES, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1895. NO. 12 TELLER THE SENATOR Gorman Did Not Speak, But the Coloradan Did. THE GOVERNMENT'S FINANCES For Three Honrs the Senator From Col orado Spoke With Great Earn estness and Eloquence. Washington, Jan 12. Teller ad dressed the Eenate today in a speech marked by force and eloquence of earn estness. A large crowd had been drawn to the galleries by the announcement that Gorman would urge a senate reso lution for the solution of the currency problem, and, although Gorman did not speak, the spectators were not disap pointed. Teller took the income tax as a text, but branched into a comprehen sive review of the present condition of the treasury and remedies demanded. He severely arraigned the administra tion for alarming the country by agita tion over the currency bill. The sena tor urged that the restoration of silver was the only effective solution, but said he did not expect it at the present time from either of the great parties or the populists. Lodge also spoke, stating that if the democratic majority would present a measure raising revenue, in stead of a currency bill that could pass, the minority would assist in enacting it. Teller then addressed the senate in support of the continuance of the in come tax. He pointed to the large treasury deficit, which had been tem porarily met by bond issues. The gold supply was down to $77,000,000, and was rapidly disappearing. Any proposition to do away with the income tax, there fore, should be accompanied by a plan to raise the revenues the government tuired. Teller gave it as his opinion the income tax would become perma nent, even though it was limited to five years by the present law. He believed it was such an equitable tax that the people would insist upon its continu ance. Import duties, he said, could not be put so high as to entirely keep out ' goods, and without these high duties there was certain to be a deficit in the revenue. It was essential, therefore, that some middle course should be adopted, and the income tax was the most just means of taking this course. Teller spoke of the vain and faithless efforts of the executive branch of the government "to do something to relieve the present distress of the government and the people," and added : , "It shows that the executive branch is in wrong hands." He then spoke caustically of the ''scheme of banking coming from the treasury department." He reerred to the current reports that the bill had been jolted off in thirty minutes to a stenographer, and said : ' "I wiBh to show all due respect to this bill, coming as it does from such high sources, but if such a . measure came from any senator or member If it came from any populist it would be branded as the height of lunacy," , Teller declared that the currency bill proposed to inaugurate the old era of . wildcat paper, and violated every prin ciple of finance in this country or any other. He ridiculed the talk about "elastic" and "flexible" currency,' when banking corporations had charge of the elasticity, and added : "There is about six weeks remaining of this congress. Now, does any person seriously believe the revision of the vast currency system can be accomplished in tfeattime?" The senator argued that it was time "he executive" authorities stopped what he characterized as "frantic demonstra tions of fright." He then examined in detail the bimetallic system of-France, Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S, Gov't Report under which that country now enjoyed absolute tranquility. Hawley at this point interjected a nar rative of his personal experience in Paris the night before France raised the vast sum to pay its war indemnity to Ger many. When Teller resumed, he argued at length to prove that the low price of agri cultural products today was the direct re sult of the demonetization ot silver, first by Germany, then by the United States, and lastly by the Latin union. In every country which had kept its mints open to silver, prices of staple products had remained absolutely stable during the last 25 years. He cited as illustrations of that fact India, Mexico, China and Japan. It has been charged, he said, that those who were in favor of bimetal ism were not in favor of sound money. But if sound money was to be preserved, he warned the senate it would be pre served through the efforts of so-called silver men. If the gold basis was in sisted upon, it would be found too narrow, and the time would come when an over-issue of paper money could not be resisted. He described the growth of socialism and anarchy in this country since the demonetization of silver, and the bitterness that had grown up between classes. This condition has been produced by legislation. This caused him to ask : "Are we now to admit we have neither the wit nor the wisdom to undo what we have done?" Although his side was not charged with the responsibility for the present situation, he, for one, would join with his political adversaries in any scheme of relief that appealed to his judgment. But he had little hope when he saw the senate of the United States, confronted with such a situation, supinely waiting to see what Europe would do. It was deplorable and disgraceful. A change of administration might aid matters, but he doubted it. The last republican ad ministration was voted out of power, and he believed it deserved defeat. Last fall the people had overthrown the democratic majority in the house be cause the democratic party had shown it self incapable of dealing with the prob lem before it. The populist party, he did not believe, would ever be a party in power, and he belieyed it would de volve on either the republican or demo cratic party to solve the problem eventu ally, when the pressure of the people would at last force logical action on this monetary problem. Any scheme to se cure his vote must be in line with what he believed to be its solution. Teller closed with an eloquent appeal to those on the other side of the cham ber to present a solution of the existing problem which would not surrender sil ver, saying: "It should be no makeshift, no tem porary expedient, but it should be am pie to avert a crisis more dangerous to the American people than that of even war." Equal To Vaccination. Washington, Jan. 10. Surgeon Kin yon, of the United States marine, hos pital service, who has made a thorough study abroad of the anti-toxine treat ment, in an address before the medical fraternity of Washington last night, said: "The effects of anti-toxine in diphtheria cases were little short of marvelous. Since the discovery of diph theria bacillus, the absolute . diagnosis of the disease by microscope was possi ble, the germ being as distinctive as that of tuberculosis."' The speaker said. 89 per cent of so-called membraneous croup were really diphtheria. With the ee rum treatment, he said, there was no reason why the disease should not be stamped out entirely. There was no question that the discovery of the anti- toxine treatment was on par with that of smallpox vaccination. He favored governmental or municipal control, or at least a supervision of the manufacture of anti-toxine- to insure its being of standard quality.
