HARRISON ON SILVER.

President Harrison has written his
letter Of acceptance, in which be gives
to the American people his views Of
the policies that should control the
administ; alton of the government for
the next four years. His views on
the silver question are in perfect har-
mony with the gold bug honest
money theory. No honest citizen Of
Nevada can read that portion OF his
letter devoted to the silver question
and truthfully say that the President
Ia d friend of the white metal. It is
~ follows:
The resolution CT the convention in
favor Of BIZ etallsm declares, I think,
the true and necessary conditions OF
the movement that has, upon these
lines, my cordial adherepce aud sup
port. am thoroughly convinced
that the free coinage OF silver at such
ratio to gold ss will maintain equal.
ity in the commercial uses OF the two
coined dollars, world corduce to the
prosperous condition of all tie great
producing and commercial nations Of
the world. One essential condition
ID that these dollars shall have and
retain m equal acceptability and
value ia all commercial transactions.
They are not only the medium OF OK
change, but the measure of values,
and when unequal measures are called
in law by the same name commerce is
unsettled and confused and the un-
wary and ignorant are cheated. Dol.
lars OF unequal commercial value will
lot circulate together. The better
dollar 10 withdrawn aud becomes NOR
cha disc.
The true interests OF our people,
and especially OF the farmers and the
working people, who canuot closely
observe the money market, is that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued Or
auth Dried by the Govern ment, shall
at all times end in all it's uses he All
exact equivalent, not only in debt
paying but in purchasing power of
any other dollar.
j am quite sure if we should now
act upon this subject, independently
Of other nations, We would greatly
promote their interests and injure
our own.
The monetary conditions in Europe
within tho last two years have, /
think, tended very much to develop
q sentiment in favor Of larger use of
silver, and / was much pleusod and
encouraged by the cordially, prompt
nsss and unanimity with which the
invitation was accepted by all The
powers. We may not only hope for
but expect high beneficial results
from this conference, which will pow

BAD BANKS.
An Investigation Shows an
Alarming Financial Condition.
TWO INsOLvENT, MANY UNSAFE.

The state Bank Examiner Finds Two
Money Institutions ON the Verge Of
Failure and Six Others Run ON an
Illegal Basis-Ignorant bookkeeping
EntangIes Accounts.
LBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug %. A sensation, sec
ond only to that caused by the failure of
the National Savings bank, was created
this morning by the announcement that
State Bank Examiner Whittou had
found two savings and loan associations
practically insolvent and that many
others are in an unsafe condition. The
associations reported as insolvent are the
Third Ward Permanent Savings & Loan
association and the Erie County Perma-
nent Savings & Loan association.
Examiner Whitton has been giving his
attention TO the savings, building and
loan associations since the books of the
National Bank were Strengthened out.
Up to the present time he has examined
six of these societies, among them being
two known as "dime associations, where
dues are paid in at the rate of ten cents
a week on each share, and which are run
upon what is known as the permanent
plan. He found that these two were in
very bad shape and has so reported TO
the banking department.
These associations, Mr. Whitton
says "have been doing an entirely illegal
business. Their system was merely
making false entries on somebody 5
books. They have been dividing and
paying money, representing a premium,
which could only be earned, so much per
onnum, during the life of a loan. The
loan usually ran from ten to twelve years
Profits were declared the very night
money was sold They were antici-
pating profits by twelve years. Thes,
concerns should be wound up at once.
"There are probably eighty Of thes,
permanent dime associations and / shal
not be surprised to find most of them il
pretty bad shape The larger associa
tions are in good condition, and run .he
business on different plan, declaring

Mr.. Whitton is awaiting the action OF
the banking department in regard T.
