BAR ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
AnoeEemOs Protest against the Petition of
ReT0rnters.

Refornters.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 25.-The
contest over the proposition before the
Common Council of this city for Sunday
closing of all business places promises to
be a warm one. Two monster protests,
containing about $500 names, have been
addressed to the Council in opposition to
the petition and movement for Sunday
closing ordinance. The protestants base
their opposition on the ground that such
an ordinance would be uncon stitutional,
for the reason that sit would deprive a
certain class of an inherent right to six
days of labor and one of rest. Second
Because it would destroy the equality of
all men before the law. Third-Because it
would be religious legislation. Fourth
Because it would be discriminating in its
nature. Fifth-Because the constitution
of the United States guarantees one day
of rest out of week to all who care to
assert that right without designating what
day of the week it shall be-"

A Sheet Anchor holds ship from drift

ABNNANN&AI
trOlled by Banks.
The plan Of the gold standard advo-
Gates is outlined In the following state
ment given out to the press by James
H. EckleS, Comptroller Of the Currency:
"The liquidation Of the last three
yearshRs prepared the way for revi.
val Of business in this country upon a
basis which ought to insure stability and
continuance.
"The immediate effect Of the defeat
Of the free coinage propaganda and the
'isms' connected with it is seen in the
suggestions everywhere made Of prep
aration for new undertakings and q
restoration Of old ones. Undoubtedly
some Of these viii fall of, but the gen.
eral tone Of hOpefulnsss will continue and
investors will invest in those things
which clearly promise q return Of profit
on the investment.
~ do not believe speculative enter.
prises will succeed for a long time to
come. A great amount Of money will
be used cautiously. The amount which
has been seCretsd in safety vaults and
elsewhere is larger than ever in the
country's history, Much Of it is in gold
coin, but not little is in the form Of
credit currency, such as bank notes,
silver certificates and legal tenders.
'The favorable conditions for the
people, aside from the settlement OF the
money question, rest in the abundant
crops here and the shortage elsewhere,
the reduction In the stock OF manufRo-
tured products and the fact that sx-
penses have been brought 70 q minimum
in every line Of business.
'The banks have since 1893 been
charging of bad and, better, securing
doubtful paper, 30 that they will be able
speedily to loan out such sums as bust
ness men need. Already deposits are
returning to such an extent that the
prospects OF strong showing under the
next bank call is very flsttering.
"With the restored confidence now
manifest In our determination to main
tain the single gold standard of value
and the rehabilitation Of American
credit, there is reason to believe much
foreign capital will come here.
~ do not sec, either, why the banks
ought not soon to resume the furnish
ing Of any gold needed in business
transactions, q thing they did without
injury to themselves until the passage
of the Sherman act OF 1890.
~ believe tho National banks should
issue all the paper currency Of the
country, and with this power given them,
they should be obliged to redeem the
same in gold. This they could readily
do if the legal tenders were removed
and they we're completely freed from
further silver agitation. l have no
doubt that under such circumstances
they would be willing TO undertake it."
