A New System Proposed by the
House Committee.
WOOL SCHEDULE IN THE SENATE
Wealers Still Making Trouble In
Nebraska, and Federal Troops
Telegraphed For.
Associated Press.
Washington, June 13.-Walker, of
Massachusetts, a veteran member of
the committee on banking and the
senior representative member of the
committee, says In his opinion the ques
tion of banking and currency Is about
to be matured In a comprehensive sys
tem by a select committee of live mem
bers, under a recent vote of the bank
ing committee, and that It Is 'the most
Important subject before congress, not
second to the tariff. Sealed ballots are
now Ixlng filed for the purpose of select
ing the committee of five. Each mem
ber of the banking committee has a
vote and names five of his associates on
the committee. The seals will be broken
Friday, and the five members receiving
the largest, number of votes will consti
tute the select committee. The commit
tee of five will sit continuously, said
Walker, with a view of reporting their
work to the house by the 27th Inst., to
Insure positive results. A recent discus
sion In the house and In the committee
has made the substantial features of the
system reasonably certain. It Is in the
direction of national currency and na
tional banking and away from state
banking and based on gold and Bllver,
Instead of bonds. The general desire Is
to create a system of national banks
which shall proceed along lines parallel
to the present national bank bill, The
latter will be merged gradually Into and
absorbed by the new system.
Walker was asked what the new sys
tem of banks would have to do' with the
Issuance of money. He answered:
"The bill undoubtedly will provide for
doing away with the various forms of
currency now Issued and a substitution
therefor of a uniform paper money Is
sued by the government through the
banks. At present the government cir
culates treasury notes, greenbacks, sli
ver certificates and various kinds of.
currency, and undertakes to make good I
this money, but the purpose will be to
make the national banks the sole source
of issuing currency under government
supervision and direction. The govern
ment thus will be relieved of the burden j
of issuing, circulating and currently re
deeming these various forms of cur
rency and the entire responsibility will
be placed on the banks. This national
bank currency would be surrounded by
all the safeguards of the present laws,
and such other safeguards as would In
jure l.s pn-per redemption.
THE SENATE.
Additional Judges Provided For Certain
Federal Circuits.
t
Washington, June 13. The senate to
day passed a bill providing for one ad
ditional circuit judge each for the sev
enth, elgth and ninth judicial districts.
The tariff debate wns resumed, the
pending question being Peffer's amend
ment to restore a 50 per cent duty ou
raw wools. Sherman made a vigorous
speech against free woof.
The question of free wool, Mr. Sher
man said,- vitally affected the people of
Ohio. He reiterated what he had said
In a previous speech that 'free wool was
the culminating atrocity of this bill.
He appealed to the Democrats to put
aside politics and withhold this destruc
tive blow to this great industry. Du
bois, of Iowa, and Stewart, of Nevada,
made arguments against free wool. Mr.
Shoup, of Idaho, also opposed free wool
as disastrous to one of the chief Indus
tries of his Btate. Shoup contended that
the fall in the price of wool hod been
world-wide for 20 years, and that in the
United States it ruled higher than else
where by the amount of the duty levied.
The demonetization of silver had much
to do with the fall In the price of wool
In the world's market. Mitchell, of
Oregon, also opposed free wool. He ar
gued that the Pacific Coast would be
more injuriously affected by free wool
than any other part of the country.
Free wool meant the absolute destruc
tion of the wool growing Industry of
Oregon, an industry which had grown
to be of vast importance to the state.
A large portion of Oregon was more
useful for sheep- grazing than for any
other purpose. Frye declared that Aus
tralia could produce enough wool to
supply the entire consumption of the
United States. Australian wool, he said,
could be laid down In New York for
five cents per pound. When Uiia dis
cussion ended. Quay took his manu
script from his desk and began another
installment of his famous speech, begun
just two months ago today.

WOOL INDUSTRY RUINED.
Senator Voorhees, chairman of the fin
ance committee, hod a talk with some
prominent wool growers, Inadvertently,
a few days ago that him in a very
unpleasant frame of mind. At the in
vitation of a United States senutor,
Theodore Justice, of Philadelphia, one
of the leading wool buyers of the United
States, and a New York wool -grower,
were In the marble room of the senate
chamber arguing with the western sen
ator who had Invited them, for some
duty on wool. During the conversation,
Senator Walsh, of Georgia, Joined the
party,- and became very" much Inter
ested. Senator Voorhces came in, and learn
ing who the parties were. In his usual
bluBterlng, overbearing way said: "Well
I think you wool men display unutter
able cheek 'to come Into the marble
room and present your case at this late
day. Why didn't you present It long
ago?" Mr. Justice quietly reminded him
that In March last wool growers from
every section of the United States had
assembled here and asked a hearing,
but had been denied It by Chairman
Voorhees himself. Justice went on to
state that the farmers of the United
States will lose forty million dollars on
this year's clip, which Is now almost
ready for marketing, and plead for at
host five cents a pound on wool, claim
ing that It would save them eighteen
million dollars. .
"How do you know that?" blustered
Voorhees.
"ve have tested the markets," replied
Justice. "We have sent samples of this
year's clip to Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, and in every place foreign
wool of the same grade, for which we
buyers paid the farmers tact year 21
cents on their farms, has been offered
at 12 cents, In view of the probabilities
that wool will be free.' The London
markets are gorged, and the foreign
dealers expect to capture the American
market."
Mr. Justice went on to say that free
wool meant that the Rocky Mountain
wool growers would receive 2 1-2 cents a
pound for wool, which, under McKlnley
duties, brought 13 cents. In Ohio wool
which brought 26 1-2 cents would now
bring 12; while the wool growers of New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin and othe
states, would get 10 cents per pound for
wool formerly bought at 25 cents. The
facta wer too much for Voorhees, and
he turned his back upon th group, and
Mrode Into file senate, without replying.
