Chairman Rhawn. Joseph c. Hendrix,
of New York, spoke on the kind of bank
ing system needed. He said that the sys-
TEN must be built to ride the storms of
panic and.must do it. The stinging lesson of
the panic OF 1898 was that Honesty is the
best policy"
Horace White, OF New Yerk, held that
bank notes were the best currency we
have-better than government currency.
He held that elasticity was prime
requisite for a currency, and the govern
ment could not supply that elasticity.
| Bonds as security for bank notes were not
! conducive to elasticity. Security and
| elasticity We're both obtained by the
Scotch system, where the liability of
stockholders was unlimited. The national
! banking act must be gotten rid of. He
| said: IF bond security required of ma
tional banks were dispensed with and its
/
limited liability or bank consolidation an
elastic currency would be secured"
L. o. Leech delivered an address in
which he charged all the present trouble
to silver. He said: "All foreign investors
and the great mass of our own business
people believe that it is impossible for this
country to continue to absorb in its cur
rency deprecated and depreciating
metal without resulting in placing our
monetary system on a silver basis, where
our paper dollar will represent only a
promise to pay silver dollar. This is the
logical, the practical, the business reason,
