T4re Bankers In convention.

SARATOGA, y. X, August 1.-THE Bank
'ters' Association began its annual session
with brief address by Charles B. Hall, OF
Boston,, The president Of the Business
Committee made a report Of the work done
during the year; to, strengthen and extend
the Influence OF the Association: 10000
sealed letters and $4,000 circular and
printed papers had been sent out, and had
helped forward the return to specie-pay-
ments.. ......-...' - :, . A.,
:, c. G. Hale, cashier OF the State National
Bank OF Kenkuk. read q paper on subsidi-
ary silver coinage. He thinks Congress
should provide for the redemption OF sub
sidiary coin in legattender coin. This
would relieve the banks Of the fear OF accu-
mulating unavailable funds and give cur
reney to coin, extending its circulation to
the prof. and convenience OF the people.
J. D. Hayes read paper on hard times.
Speaking OF the outcry against monopolists
and bank-stock holders he said the door Is
wide open and inviting to all to enter the
MONOPOLY of banking who desire, and ridi-
culed the cry that the Government should
furnish money to all. Regarding bank
loans ant interest he said that the banks had
$50 per cent. more loaned ut an average less
than six per cent. in 1877 than was loaned
in 1850, and millions are now waiting In
vestment. This Convention should give no
uncertain sound against dishonest money.
