Against an architectural background
and in front of the central pediment is a
life-size standing figure OF the Iamented
pastor in the act OF addressing an audi

of a chair, and his left hand is raised in
the manner SO familiar to all who knew
him. AT his feet on either side are groups
of orphan children. 70 the right and left

CURRENCY REFORM.

Cleveland Considering the Idea Of Pre-
sentfng New Plan.
NEW YORK, Nov. lit is reported
here that the President is considering the
idea of submitting to the country plan
for currency reform. He believes that
the currency system is inherently vic
ious and that it is responsible for the
financial ills which must recur so long as
il is maintained. Satisfied with this dag
nosis he will undoubtedly prescribe a
remedy calculated to give the finances
permanent health, believing posi- bly,
that this can be done only by supplanI-
ing the present system.
The subject will be the dominant feat
ure in his message to Congress i'll Deem
Der. 1t is said he will favor many of the
suggestions made by the Bankers Ma
tional Convention at Baltimore III Sep
tember.
What is known as the Baltimore plan,
adopted at that convention, appealed TO
the President as having features OF I'M
doubted merit. He obtained copy of
the plan and since then he has been study
ing and working on the subject.
Briefly stated, the Baltimore plan pro-
vides Tor a guarantee fund obtained by
levying a small tax upon all OF the banks
This fund is to be used to pay the notes of
banks which become lnSOlVenL.
Since it became whispered among finan-
ciers that the President was preparing to
address Congress upon the currency sys-
tenn, so many suggestions have reached
him that ne thought II well TO gather
some expert opinion among bankers
whom he could not personally consult.

to this city is understood to be for the
purpose of sounding public opinion here
upon the general subject While MIR. Cur
