Hon. w. w. Curry on the Financial
| Situation.
! INDIANAPOLIS, November 14.-Hon.
! w. w. Curry, secretary Of state, ad-
| dressed large meeting of business men
and citizens this evening, at the Masonic
hall, ON the financial situation. Mr..
Curry said that the cause of the present
disaster was that everybody was in
debt, and payday had come
That the ultimate remedy was
retrenchment and payment. That the
present panic was different from all 9TH
ers in that, the goodness of the cur
rency kept it boarded; that the govern
ment should come to the relief of the
people by reissuing the fOrty-four mill
/ lion dollars of greenbscks; that this was
the maximum, and the government
| could issue no more without dishonOr;
that we still needed flexible currency;
that to procure this the national bank
/ ing law must be made free; the
greenbacks retired; specie pay
ments resumed, and the revenue
laws revised to a revenue basis. He was
not in favor of any wild mutations, and
insisted that return to specie payments
was practicable, and he desired to have
| the government take its hands out of
the supply Of currency as soon as pOssi-
| ble. He stated his views with great
clearness and vigor, and pointed out the
! supposed advantages and combatted the
| objections.
