Il feel that cannot close these remarks
without reference to the subject that it is
uppermost in the mind OF every banker
ir the State at the present time. namely,
the maintenance of the gold standard of
value. and the question occurs to me
are we in any wise blameworthy for the
growth of the free silver sentiment? Is
it not true that a large number of bankers
have perhaps unconsciously contributed
to bring about the present dissatisfaction
of the borrowing class? Too frequently
when a tradesman or a farmer goes to his
banker to secure loan he is met with
refusal on the ground that there IS a
scarcity of money, or he is informed that
because of the scarcity of money he mus.
pay a high rate of interest. This is
a poor policy to pursue, especially if
money is not scarce The banker should
rather carefully study the conditions
that surround his customers
and when refusing advances should
frankly and honestly give his reasons for
so doing. If farmer. for instance, Is
raising only one crop and that crop is
likely to fall thus obliging his banker
to wait for his money an entire year,
he should be advised by the bank officer
to put in more diversified crops or to
produce something that will sell for
cash, so that he can pay his loans at
the bank at maturity. Or If a merchant
is selling to a class of trade in com
munity that is undesirable, he should be
cautioned and advised regarding this
whole subject. In other wbrds,
the banker should be looked upon by his
clients the same as a good family ply
sician is looked upon by his patients,
and there should exist between them the
utmost confidence. 1t is time for bankers
to be more explicit in their statements to
customers and borrowers. as careless and
unadvised remarks as made by bankers,
seized upon and distorted by reckless agi-
tators, have inclined many a farmer and
producer, who would otherwise have re-
tained sound views on the money ques-
tion. to follow the Elusive free silver
wll-o-the-wisp.
The bankers of this country are its
largest debtors and 1T is to their honor
that they have stood like a solid wall
repelling the free silver attacks that
have made serious inroads in the ranks
of other debtors. We believe in laws.
freedom, truth and faith in Cod and it
beheoyes US to stand firm in our demands
for honesty in commercial affairs, for
honest conduct and honest statements.

Salisbury on the Venezuela Issue
To Avert All Wars.
Eu Cable to the United Press

LONDON, July II. 1s9s.-In the House
of Lords today Lord Salisbury laid upon
the table of that body the papers re-
lating to the boundary dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela. Lord Sails
bury, in presenting the documents. said
that negotiations between Great Britain
and the United States. in regard to the
Venezuela matter were still in progress
The government, he added, did not be-
lieve that the claim made by Venezuela
was a suitable subject for arbitration
but. when the facts in the case as re-
gardled the past history of Venezuela
were fully ascertained he thought that
the diplomatic question involved could be
easily adjusted.
Lord Salisbury stated that concurrent
" with the negotiations which were in
progress with the United States in re-
gard to tine dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela. negotiations were also go-
ing ON between the British and American
governments contemplating the establish-
nlent of a scheme of general arbitration
Of questions which might arise between
the two nations. This however, he SAID,
was a matter which required great care
and ~circumspection.

CHICAGO. July II, 1896. -Ex-Sena,tor
Sabin of Minnesota was in the city yester-
day. 1.-THE recent convention pleases me,
for it has resulted in forcing this mo-
mentous financial question to a clearly
defined issue. The people want the ques-
tion settled. This constant agitation and
uncertainty is wearing everybody out.
Il do not believe that the people will
vote to sMexicanize' this country at the
behest of the silver mine owners and
Populists and discredited lot of vision
ary cranks The silver sentiment is un-
doubtedly strong now in the Western and
Middle States. but l believe a reaction
will set in against 1t as strong as the
sentiment which developed 1T. 1t has been
purely emotional, and is the result of a
false and demagogic appeal to class pre-
judice and national pride.

very likely capture first honors. Senator

it was thoroughly un-Democratic and a

course, some merchants who are on the
side of free silver, but they are in the
minority. Mckinley will receive many
votes in the South which would never
