BOIEs IN THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.

Silver Question.

Silver Question.
CHEROKEE. Oct. i6.-Ex-Governor BoicS
opened the Democratic state campaign in
this section of the state. He reiterated
his views on free silver, saying: In the
next national campaign the greatest Of
all questions to be settled by the Amer
lean people will be the question of wheth-
cr or not silver is to be rcmOnetized and
restored to its original place as standard
money in the financial system of our coun-
try.
Ii in both Republican and Democratic
national conventions the influence OF the
money power is sufficient TO prevent n
stand being taken by either, and these
great organizations are fully committed
To our present system, the last hope of bi.
Inctallism will perish for the present.
Possibly, as the years roll on. and the OPP
preston of one class and the enrichment
of the other grows more and more APP
parent. an embitterci populace will rise
in its might and crush all political parties
responsible for the wrong.
But before this can I've done the sears
already made must grow deeper and wider
than they have yet become. do not fear
to predict that the Republican party will
never rcmonetizc silver. 1t needs no
Moses TO lead the Democratic party in
Iowa to victory on this subject. All that
il needs is manly stand of that party on
the side of her own people.
IF it will inscribe upon its banners an
unequivocal demand for a restoration Of
silver to the place assigned it by the con-
stitution of our country. and honestly and
conscicntiously stand by its own dcclara-
, ton. its success is assured. If it fails u
do this it will require dispcnsation OF
providence to preserve the present status
of even its organization in this and many
other states"

MERRIAM'S PLAN
Fer the Solution of the National
Money Problem.
CURRENCY FOR THE NEXT CENTURY

Scheme Outlined st t:,e Atlanta Bankers
Meeting by the Ex-Governor of Minne-
sota-Revenue in the Project for Your
Uncle Samuel-Ela sticity Guaranteed
Ex-Governor Boies Talks on Silver and
Advice the Iowa Democracy.
ATLANTA, Oct. 16.-At the bankers con-
vention Ex-Governor Merriam, of Mime
sofa, read a paper entitled ''The Currency
, for the Twen;i>th Century" in which he
outlined a currency scheme. His sugges-
! ton was: That, say forty per cent. of
the capital of Il national bank be invested
in United States notes, and circulation be
issued against the same, the bills remain
ing in the hands Of the treasurer, and cur
rency to an amount equal to the remain
ing sixty per cent. of the capital stock to
be delivered to the bank for issuance when
desired. Before the unsecured currency
is forwarded however, each bank should
pay to the treasurer u sum equal to five
per cent. of its capital stock as bank
circulation safety fund.- upon which
money the government should allow in
terest at the rate Of three per cent. per
, annum.
Banks TO Reimburse the Government.
THE government, in ease the assets of
insolvent banks be insufficient to rcim-
burse it for the circulating notes of de-
faulting institutions, may assess each
bank pro rata to an amount sufficient TO
fully indemnify 1t for any losses incurred,
but i'll any one year no institution shall be
| assessed more that l per cent. of its av-
cragc circulation for the previous year.
InasmHch aS there are likely to BE- at
least 1909 banks organized under the Ma
tional law the treasury might act as 70
| dccming agent for all of the banks, and
| each bank should au all times keep with
| the treasurer D per cent. of its capital
| stock as a redemption fund, which fund
should he in gold coin, and held IN trust
| for the specific purpose intended.
| Unsecured Notes To he Taxed.
AS fast rs notes are redeemed the bank
should 1T once remit Il sIm that would re-
, pair any deficiency made by redemption,
annd new notes be forwarded. Inasinuch as
| the banks would make profit out of the
circulation not secured by United States
notes it is right that all of the banks
should pax tax upon the unsecured notes
t, the government for the privilege ac-
| corded them. This tax should he made
| sufficiently large to pay all the expenses of
the Office Of the comptroller, including the
| printing OF bank notes, engraving, etc; to
pay the United States for the charters
| granted II handsome revenue, which should
| aid i'll Gtfraying general expense, and to
make the currency elastic.
