MORTON ON MONEY.
The Secretary of Agriculture
Expresses Himself.
A RADICAL IDEA PUT INTO WORDS.

Abolish the Legal Tender in Roth Gold and
silver and Let Them Stand on Their
Ierits-His Views on state Banks-Not
Afraid of wild t''-Ehccts of Cheap
Money'-Colorado Opinions.
WASHINGTON. June 24.-In an interview
on the money question, Secretary Morton
hoped the Sherman law would be repealed,
but thought there was an element of
doubt Proceeding he said: Il have no
objection to the repeal of the 10 per cent
bank tax as a means of supplying the in
creased currency which il Is claimed IS
needed. l am opposed to that tax chiefly
because il was levied under false pretenses
and has no right to exist. 1t is prostitu-
ton of the taxing power, because under
the pretenSc Of raising revenue 1t was
never intended to raise revenue, but to
prevent the issuance Of state bank cur

for the states could not make the notes
legal tender and they would only circulate
locally.

Under one condition the absolutely free

agreed to a. a compromise. That is, if

would then signify no more than merely

did not like it. The two sorts of coin

Effect of Cheap Money"
Touching upon another branch of the
question the secretary continued: There
is no advantage 70 the farmer or the
laborer in a redundancy of cheap money.
1t raises the price Of the iarrn products in
cheap money; cutting OF the export trade

Why Gold l. Coming this Way.
The consequence of this is hard times

due to the sales of wheat, which had been
brought about by the necessity the hold

paper OF thiS city had published an article
charging that his criticism of the CalifOr-

accusation. and also denies that the letter
was inspired because he had had some

HONORS SPLIT EVEN.
Ballot of the Two Olympic Club |
Tickets.

O~hON VI AhN W. wy SluD
Tickets.
For seven hours yesterday the members
Of the Olympic Athletic Club were en-
gagged in a lively but good-natured battle
with ballots. 1t was the annual election
of officers, and both the regu-
lars and conservatives marshaled
their forces with the precision of
veterans. During the hours the polls
were open just 93l votes were cast. of this
number 466 being regular tickets and 465
conservative. But many of the ballots
were scratched and the result could not
be calculated from the headings.
The counting of votes began about 80
O'Clock last night. and was still in prog
res at o'clock this morning. According
to figures kept by Inspector Ed Williams
it is evident that the honors split about
even between the nominees on the rival
tickets.
Ii was pretty certain that for the eleven
directors the following were elected on the
conservative ticket: w. Fl. l.. Barnes,
Thomas j. Pencil, HI. a. Weed and b.
A. Williams. On the regular four are also
elerted, the lucky ones being r, Macarthur,
James McElrOv, George W. Shorten and
DIR. john Gallwey. The following three,
who were on both tickets, were OF course
winners: Henry j. Croker. 81. Is. Russ
and John Elliott
An advisory election committee of TWEEN
ty-five was also elected, but the rivalry for
places upon it was not so keen as for the
direetorships.
The election of W. II. l.. Barnes means
victory for him for the vice-presidency
over George A. knight.
When the new board OF directors meet
it will elect the other officers as follows:
Croker, president; Pennell, secretary;
Russ. treasurer; Macarthur, leader, and
Elliott, captain.
