OUlt WASHINGTON LETTER.
Froui our own Correspondent:
It is difficult to understand how
the President can sustain the action
of Secretary Gage in loaning such
enoimoua sums to the national banks,
without changing his former ©pinion
on this as completely as he changed
them on the silver question when
expediency raquired him to do so.
During President Cleveland’s first
term, Secretary Fairchild loaned out
some $59,000,000 under imilar
circumstances, and was roundly <ie
■ounced by the then Representative
McKinley for ao doing. His speech
appears in the Congressional Record
of February 29, 18S8, and runs, in
part, as follows:
“Nearly $59,000,000., a?. I under
stand, of tlie surplus money ih?,t
ought to be in the Treasury to-day,

it ou f *•' n - -ninent creditors, :8

near to the hearts—and pockets—
of the Republican leaders, lies : n the
possesions of an overflowing Treas
ury. As long as the war revenue
law is on the statate books, no ono
is likely to make any very violent
protest agains it, hut i: it is once re
pealed, it would be destruction to
any party to try to re-enact it in
order to obtain millions to throw as
bounties to ‘ship builders. So
there is little chance of relief at pres
ent. Before the summer is over,
however, the trusts are likely to bo
put to it to preserve the tariff taxes
<hat enable them to plunder the peo
pie.
There is something very suggestive
in the reluctance of the Republican
Senators to permit the adoption of
resolutions o" inquiry addressed to
the President in reference to affairs
at Manila. The Seoivtarv of
