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.
