coin. This was the first consideration.
After this came, if the banks could be
given the power to expand the currency in
times Of stringency, the two main objects
Of currency system would be obtained.
The Safety Fund Feature.
In his system he had proposed 90 per
cent deposit, upon which bank notes should
be issued To the extent of the deposit
those notes We're absolutely safe. The 9TH
er so per cent would be secured by safety
fund raised by proper taxation. Frankly
he did not consider such deposit necessary.
The legislation Of that period had created
currency which in and Of itself, in his
opinion, could not have maintained itself
had not the government endowed it with
a legal tender quality.
Mr. Eckols described at length the legis-
lation which created the legal tenders, and
he gave it as his opinion that the legal
tenders ultimately but not Immediately
convertible, made the war much more ex-
| pensive than it otherwise would have been.
| The existence of those legal tenders today
was he thought the greatest danger to
1 the credit OF the United States st home
1 and abroad.
Compared to it the defects Of the bank
ing system were only an inconvenience,
/ The legal tenders called for gold and must

could be made continuous, and the conii-
| dence Of the people must be shaken both
here and abroad AS long as trade rela.
| tions between this and other countries ex-
listed our monetary laws must be regard
full Of the system Of other countries. The
public credit abroad must be maintained
BY the redemption Of these notes in gold
! Undoubtedly the manly thing to do, hG
said, was to redeem and retire those notes
The authority to do this had once beer
given Secretary McCullooh, but 1t hac
been rescinded It could be done now out
| of the surplus revenues or by means Of {
funding bond 1t was now proposed t
| give the banks valuable franchise, and /
was proper that they should make fai
return.
In order to secure the current redemp
| ton of those legal tender notes he though
it proper that the banks for the privileg
Of issuing notes on their capital stool
against their assets should be made to dc
posit legal tenders with the government
a reserve fund.
Today under the national banking ac

J | Under the system he proposed 5O per cen

,ioa throughout army quarters A. 5
O'Clock this morning Col Crofton was en-
gagged IN performing his duties. which
devolved upon him the commanding OF the
regimen; IN connection with the change
OF guard mount. The officers were
crowded about him receiving their orders.
and formed quite e group around the
commanders tent. Lieut.. Weleh suddenly
approached Col. Crofson and addressed
him in s low tone. The two walked some
distance apar; from the others, still con-
versing in low tones.
Suddenly WEIGH vas seen 10 strike his
superior officer blow fall in the face With
his Est. Ii was q powerful blow, and
Col. Crofton seemed daxed BY il and
was seen 70 stagger, but he
quickly recovered and. with blood squirting
from his nose. ordered Welch under arrest
and then retired 10 his tent WEIGH was
surrounded by several soldiers and was
put in the guardhouse. where he was
closely guarded By four soldiers The
affair was the sole topic OF conversa-
ton today st army headquarters at
Evanston. The men were very retieent
about speaking of the occurrence TO
civilians. What the conversation was
that took place between Crofton and
WEIGH before the blow was struck no one
knows. IL was noticed by those who saw the
affair that tho two men we're somewhat
excited. and that the conversation was
becoming heated when WEIGH struck the
blow. The crime OF assauIting superior
officer in the United States army is con-
sidered one OF the most serious offenses.
The penalty is dismissal from the ranks.
