VIEWS ON THE BOND QUESTION
He Strongly Objects to Bland's
Scheme for Coining the ,
Silver Seigniorage.

Washington, Feb.

bill because they think It will dispose
of silver for the next five years at the
least.
There is a movement in the house tolment to the en-d that the l8lanas mily

investigation of the management of the
railroads under the receivers appointed
by the federal courts.
The house commltteo on Judiciary
mado a public stenographic report of a
secret hearing before it by Secretary
Carlisle some time ago, in which the
latter's views and poltey on the finan
cial question are set forth. Carlisle said
that the effect of the coining of the
seigniorage and issuing of certificates
against that would be that If they came
In for redemption and there were no
dollars behind them, he would be com
pelled to redeem them In gold or what
ever else he might have. It would take
about two years to "coin Bilvor for that
purpose. There was not silver on hand
for that purpose, because the certificates,
were issued against the -Stiver already
coined up to within $5,000,000 or $0,000,-
000 to the total. It would not do to issue ,
certificates on uncoined seigniorage, as ;
tney would De greatly discredited in the
public mind. They would call for a sil- 1
ver dollar, but there would be no sit-
ver dollar to redeem them, and it might
become necessary to redeem In gold. If
all other coinage ceased and the mints
were pushed, It might be possible to
coin $48,000,000 of silver per year.
On the bond question Carlisle said his
purpose in selling the bonds was to re
deem United States notes and treasury
notes and replenish the reserve, but he
might be confronted with a very seri
ous question as to what, he woild do if
congress falls to make provision to sup
ply the deficiency. Suppose, for instance,
as usual, congress makes appropriation
for pensions to be paid out of any
money In the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, and suppose the secretary
finds there is no money In the treasury
not otherwise appropriated except the
money realized from the sale of the
bonds, he will be confronted with the
question whether he will stop the pay.
ment of pensions, whether he will stop
payments on public buildings, or rivers
harbors, whether he will withhold sal
aries, or use the money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated. "I believe
It Is my duty to pay the pensions and
all other public obligations, and unlest,
congress stops me I shall do so, while
I stay here," said Carlisle. "I Bhall en
deavor to maintain the credit of the
government by paying Ita obligations."
Carlisle also stated his reluctance in
issuing the bonds, as to the most desir
able kind of bonds to be Issued. He
said he favored short-time bonds, with
a low rate of Interest In small denom
inations, which he believed the people
would take who have money in the sav
ings banks. They could be sold or used
in paynient of expenditures and redeem
ed out of future jevenues.
