THE PLAN FOR RELIEF
AS Adopted by the Clearing
Houses Of New Orleans

by Associated Press TO The News.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 24.-The
recent action of the New Orleans
banks limiting the amount of money
individuals could withdraw daily
having left planters without money
to move their crops, the New
Ofleans clearing houses have been
for the past week or ten days con
sidering plan to relieve the situa-
ton.
The mem bers Of the clearing
houses met today and adopted the
following plan: Certificates of
deposits will be issued by the banks
to persons having money on deposit,
payable to themselves or bearer, in
sums of five, ten and twenty dollars,
or more, the certificates being pay
able through the clearing
house, and will be stamped by the
manager of the clearing house as
follows: This certificate is Sc.
cured by a deposit of securities with
| luo iOou SoillHllttcc VI luG NOW VIZ
leans clearing house." Before such
certificates can be stamped by
the manager the bank issu-
ing such certificate will have
to deposit the securities with the
committee, take clearing house
cert ticates under the rule and de.
post such clearing house certificates
with the committee, to the extent of
the certificates of depotit issued,
until the bank issuing the certiti-
Gates of deposit shall return
them to the manager to be
cancelled, when they can recover
their clearing house certificates to
the extent OF the certificates of
deposit returned. All of TIE
members were unanimous in the be-
lief that this plan would give the
required relief, not only to
the planters, but to business
men as we'll. The certificates
will be just as good as money and
can be as widely circulated. The
decision of the association was re-
ceived with great Joy by many bust

WHEELING, AUGUST 20. lsOa.
Vlotory for the Honest poIIar.

Victory IOr Lne 1OHehC DoIiUF'
The victory over tho last-ditch silver
forces is as decisive as it is surprising
in degree. They were beaten at every
point and beaten out OF sight. Tho
overwhelming vote against them on
every one OF their propositions shows
that no free coinage measure can pass
this house.
This demonstration is hardly second
in interest to the unexpectedly large
majority for unconditional repeal. The
bill goes to the senate with the great
prestige of this magnificent triumph
for an honest dollar. 1t will show to
some undetermined senators which
side Of tho fence is the popular side
and therefore the side to got down on.
It assures the repeal OF the silver pur.
chase provision beyond any question.
Repeal may como through the Voor-
hees bill or through u conference com.
promise OH the wording, but after all it
will be unconditional repeal. Since the
house has spoken 80 decislvely the sen
ate may conclliate public sentiment
by acting more promptly than it has
thought it would. That is tho wise and
patriotic course.
Obstruction can gain nothing for the
lost cause OF free silver coinage. The
honest dollar is on top. The country
may now go ahead on this assurance.

ouay ON state pank Issues.

Whittier arc we drifting? Senator
Quay breaks out unexpectedly in favor
OF state bank issues. 1t is fair to say
that it is u qualified favor and has
special reference to his own state, in
which the present banking law, he
thinks, would afford ample protection
to note.holders. Tho notes would be
backed by United States or Pennsyl-
yania state bonds,
Perhaps it would DO all right in
Pennsylvania, but If the banks can de-
post securities such as the senator
speaks Of they will have no trouble to
get circulation under the national
banking law. How many states would
insist on tho deposit OF United States
bonds or other equal securlties2
This is not at all the idea Of the men
who arc clamoring for state bank
money. They want that money to DO
as cheap as dirt and as easy to got.
Bank ISSUES based on auch security rs

banks and tho people us something Of

he wants, II the money will not go far
