A recent New York dispatch says:
AT the second days session of the
New York State Bankers Associa-
tion, A. B, Hepburn, of New York
City, chairman of the committee
on sound money resolutions, offered
the following, which was adopted:
We, the bankers of New York, in
convention assembled, being indebt-
ed to the people TO the extent of
69O, 1000, 600 in the form of deposits
and $3.50, 600, 900 in the form of cap
ltal and surplus, declare ourselves
IN favor of sound money. We are
opposed to imitation. We are op-
posed to a debasement of the cur
rency We are opposed to the free
coinage of silver at the ratio OF 16
to /. We are opposed to two quail
ties of money knowing full well
that the less valuable would newt
ably drive out of circulation the
more valuable ,"
These suffering (O gentlemen
want to protect their depositors,
their capital stock and surplus. The
people may cry for bread, labor go
unemployed, general prosperity go
to the dogs, if only these poor (2)
men can continue to revel in high
priced dollars, Down with the peo-
pie and up with the aristocrat is
their motto.
