BANKERS DECLARE
"They Have No Glass Interest in the Estab- shment of Any Particular Kind of
 Money"

New York, July 1S.-The following reso- lutions were adopted today by the New State Bankers conventions:
 We declare that the bankers of this state have no sefish or class interest in the establishment of any particular kind of money as currency, nor are we bene- flted as class by maintenance of one metal as the standard to the exclusion of others, The chartered banking institu- tions of the state of New York are in
 debted to the public at large in the form of deposits, subject to check, in the sum of $1, ,261 100000. Being debtors in this very large amount, with our payables largely exceeding our receivables, we be- lieve the part of wisdom and the part of honor for the United States Is to main- tain the present gold standard of value. We believe 1t would be criminal folly to break away from the most advanced and civilized nations to join China and Mex leo upon the silver basis. in all coun- tries Wherein the gold standard prevails both gaia and silver circulate as money. The fres.coinage of silver means the re- pud.atiDn of 50 per cent of indebtedness This would be true only of existing debfs. The sararious instinct of trade would correct sais wrong as to future contracts by doaaling. the price of commodities. Hence the free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to means a great imitation of prices without any increase or values Just in proportion to this infatIon would the purchasing power of dollar be de- creased. It means a silver basis and sil- yer monometallism. It means that the $60, 900 900 of gold now in circulation would go to premium, would cease 10 circulate as money and become com modity simply, whether coined or un- coined. It would produce violent con- traction of the currency to the extent to which gold now in circulation ceased to circulate as money. It would not only unsettle, but would thoroughly demoral- ize business All classes would suffer. Those would suffer most who are least allle to take care of themselves; that is, the laboring classes. The crushing upon business would be equalled only by the demoralizng effect upon public morals and the public sense of honor, lowered and humiliated as they would be by such an act of repudiation. We believe 1t to be the duty of all good and patriotic citi- gems to unite their efforts in preventing such calamity. We believe it to be the duty of the government to maintain the gold standard and preserve the parity of all forms of currency which 1t allows to circulate as money.
 We believe this to be indispensable in order to protect and foster the interests of our citizens and preserve to the United States the paramount position which she occupies in the sisterhood of nations.

HOW DOES BUTLER sTANDp
Republicans Say He Is Against Bryan-An
 other Claim.

Raleigh. N O., July 18.-The conference here between Senators Butler and Pritch- ard and other leading populists and re- nublicans did not end until 1 o'clock this morning All who attended were told not to talk. It is learned that all favored fusion on certain conditions. The repub- licans who attended declare that Butler is solidly against any indorsement or Bryan, and that the great question IS how to check the Bryan movement m North Carolina. Senator Butler is claimed by these republicans to warmly favor fusion, and they assent further that w. A. Guthrie, who desires the popu- list nomination for governor, is the only populist leader who now opposes 1uslon.
 Senator Butler left here this morning for St Louis. He expressed great sur prise when a United Press reporter told him that he was to be the temporary He was very reticent, but replied: II say every man ought to wait until the convention meets and ought to stand Dy the action of his convention. We must await deyelopments." Members of the silver organization say Butler mas wrlt- ten letters to delegates to the St: Louis convention, urging them to go to the con vention and work for the indorsement of Bryan and the Chicago platform. B. F. Keith. state chairman of the silver party, left today for St. Louis. He Is in favor of iudorsing Bryan. All the North Caro- lima populist delegates leave tomorrow morning for St. Louis There are ninety five of them. They are said to be greatly divided in their views. The republicans are bringing great pressure to bear to induce them to nominate straight ticket at St. Louis, and tell them if Bryan is ip- dorsed there can be no fusion in North Carolina.

An A. P. A. Scheme.

Louisville, Ky, July 1S.--Articles of impeachment were filed with the board of councilmen against three members of the board of public safety, Col. R. J. Til- ford, D. D. O'Sullivan and Charles Will son. They are charged with aiding and protecting gamblers, failure to suppress disorderly houses and general miscon- duct in office. The aldermen will organ ize as court Monday to try the charges. The board is controlled by the American Protection association, and the accused will probably be relieved of office as all three are democrats. This means a re- organization of the police and fire de- partments on American Protective as- sociation lines.

BETTER DEMAND FOR MONEY
Is the Anticipation of the Financier-lt Re- gards the ExpansIonn Loans as a fa-
 yorable Feature.

New York, July 18.-The New York Financier says this week:
 The statements of the clearing house banks of New York city for the week ending July IS shows an expansion of $2,- SSs, ,OOO in loans, which is distinctively a favorable feature, but since the $2, 100000 withdrawn for export Friday are not in- cluded in the totals for the week, the real condition of the banks is not shown at the close of business Saturday The fall in domestic exchange rates, which has been a. prominent feature of the week at nearly every interior point of importance, Is a certain indication that the heavy flow of money to this point is at an end and an opposite movement is to be expected, especially toward the south and d-west. ase4s.s
 The banks gained something like $1,- 900, 900 from the interior movement for the week ending Saturday, but with ex- change at heavy discount 1t Is not like ly that this addition to excess cash will be continued. On the other hand prepa- rations for the fall season are under way, and this should create a demand for money from mercantile sources. The loans of the New York banks, while now at the highest point of the year, are still $27, 900, ,000 less than at this time last year, but it Is to be noted that the increase ldst year uiu CulIllludte unlIl ldte III September, when an additional increase of $16,0000 900 was made. Ifethis year re- peats the experience ef last season, the firmness of the money market would seem assured. sy@
 The gain in cash, according to the statement, was $161 300 for the week, and deposits increased $2, 503s000 which about equals the loan expansion. The surplus reserve, as the result of the weeks oper- ations, stands at $20, ,773,025, a decrease of $464, ,250 as compared witlI.last week.
 Since talk on another bond issue is pop ular, 1t might be well to call attention to the fact that of.the millions that have been taken from the treasury since Feb ruary 8, little, if any. of the amount has found it's way into theeN New York banks their total specie holdings at present be- ing only $3000,000 more than the low point reached after their payments for bonds had been completed. 7
 The averages in the statement for the week ending July IS, 1896. as compared with the corresponding weeks in 1895 and 1894, are as follows:
