CRISP HAS HIS SAY.

The Georgia Statesman's Views ON the
Money Question.
Charles f. Crisp Of Georgia, speaker of
the house Of representatives, has recently
sailed for Europe. Before starting he sub
mitted to an interview, part of which is
reproduced here:
"Mr. Crisp, does the elimination of the
tariff from the list of party issues mean
that the money question will take its place
as thcSdominant subject Of partisan de-
batep"
"The money issue Is certainly taking q
large share Of public attention" answered
the speaker "but it seems to me to be en-
ours to go abroad in search of credit in
order to preserve our financial integrity.
1 believe we are big enough and rich
enough to take care Of ourselves and wise
enough to devise some equable monetary
system which would put us upon a sound
and satisfactory basis. The silver issue is
a very important issue and one that must
be settled. suppose the Republicans will
try to settle it at the next session Of the
congress, but fancy that there will be
some divergence in individual views.
"No, 1 will not say that tho south Is
practically unanimous on the issue, but it
is very strong 1 am told by gold men
that their side is gaining strength, but we
must wait until the matter comes to an
issue before we can test that.
"In my opinion, there is growing con-
stantly an idea that we should have an in
creased use Of silver in our monetary sys-
tenn that there is not enough to give US
the currency that we absolutely need
Under the present system gold is constant
ly being drained from tho country. A
change should be made.'

GIVEN THE HA HA. y
Bankers Smile Over the
Boycott of Mr.. Sow
ereign.
BILLS GOOD AS GOLD.
No Danger but That the
Knights of Labor Will Take
National Notes.
SILVER CAN ALSO BE SUPPLIED.
Men Of Money Believe That Only
Notoriety Is Sought by the
Manifesto.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 19.-Chicago bank
ers give Mr.. Sovereign's boycott the
merry 'Ha, hal"
"Such a boycott as Sovereign proposes
would not bother us much" said Lyman
]. Gage of the First National Bank, "for
we have no bills in circulation. The issu-
ing of bills by National banks does not
pay. To secure the notes United States
bonds must be purchased, and there is a
high premium on these in the first place.
The proposition of Sovereign is absurd,
anyway. The working people are not 60
ing to refuse bond bills when offered in
payment of wages. Of course, if they want
silver it can be furnished to them, for
the Government vaults have plenty of it
ready"
"It is ridiculous" said Morton B. Hull,
vice-president of the National Bank of
America. II think Sovereign is simply
seeking new sensation, and has not
studied the question at all. He evidently
is not aware that every National bank
note, while not legal tender between in
dividuals, is redeemable in gold at the
United States Treasury. 1t is made so by
the deposit of Government bonds by every
National bank to secure its circulation.
No workman is going to decline these
notes."
81 don't believe the workingmen of this
country are fools enough to follow such
silly advice" said Richard G. Lake, vice.
president of the Union National Bank.
''They know that the bills of National
bank are secured by Government bonds,
and have purchasing power equal with
gold. They will not bother the banks or
cause any panic if they don't take them,
but l expect there will be no difficulty
about them accepting the notes and getting
as many as possible of them"
Other bankers, such as John e. Meyer of
the Commercial National, Robert M. Orr
of the American Exchange National, T. w.
Gookin of the Northwestern National, and
