didate for governor of Wisconsin, last
night addressed mass meeting in
the assembly chamber Of the Wiscon-

address, carefully avoided any refer

didate Berky said he believed in the
gold standard, declaiming that it was
the only monetary policy which would
bring material prosperity to the coun-

Mr.. lowering said in part:
'"The economic distress is not due to
over production, but to under consump-
ton. If the vast sums now consumed
in the liquor traffic were turned into
the channels Of legitimate business the
stringency would be greatly relieved.
AS congress is now constituted, no
change in the financial policy of the
government is possible. no matter

States is not the reduction of the tariff,
nor the gold standard, but the absorp-

SEWALL RESIGNS.
NO LONGER PRESIDENT OF THE
MERCHANT MARINE ASSOCIATION.
Organization Being Used for PoIitic-
al Purposes, in Defiance of the
Bylaws and the Constitution.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA Herald
special from Bath, Me, says: The
American Merchant Marine associa-
ton will have to elect a new presi-
dent. Arthur Sewall has rendered his
resignation, to take effect upon the
receipt of his letter to the secretary,
Alexander r. Smith. For several weeks
Mr.. Sewall has had this movement in
view, for he has complained that the
association was being used for politi-
cal purposes, and he states that his
acceptance of the position of president
of this association was based upon the
stipulation that no partisanship should
be introduced.
Mr. Sewall's letter is dated Bath,
Me, September 10, 1896. It is addressed
to "a. r. Smith, Secretary, New York
City, and reads in part as follows:
THE origin of this association and
its purpose was to advocate, and by
all proper methods promote, the restor-
alton of the merchant marine of this
country. 1t was distinctly understood
that the organization was to be free
from all politics and entirely non-par-
tisan in its character. Your recent
methods of introducing politics and
partisanship in the workings of your
Office do not meet my approval, and l
cannot longer be associated with an
organization conducted by SUCH meth
DDS"
Mr.. sewall was seen after his letter
had been made public. and asked for
a further expression of his views.
Our shipping interests he said,
ARE of national Importance. No party
can pose as their particular advocate.
The attempt to make it a party issue
is wrong and contrary to the spirit in
which this association was formed. AS
to those circulars endorsing McKin-
ley, no such circulars have been sent
out with my knowledge. The first in
timation 1 had that such letters had
been issued was when 1 saw one re-
ferred to in a Republican paper"
For years Mr.. Sewall has been one
of the foremost leaders in all move
ments for restoring shipping. He has
always claimed that with a few years
experience we could build ships as
cheaply as they can in England, and
in the belief that we would have legis-
lation making this possible he put up
a steel ship building plant.

Peculiar story Told of Young Rev,
the Cornell Student.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 22.-Freder-
ick Gordon Rev, the Cornell student
who disappeared from Ithaca in a mys-
terious manner almost two years ago,
and was found in Ceylon recently, has
returned to the home of his parents in
this city. For a long time after young
Rev disappeared his father thought he
was dead
Part of Rew's wanderings were sur
rounded with mystery. He declares
that he can remember nothing from
the time he left Cayuga until he found
himself on board vessel bound for
France.
During all his wanderings, young
Rev never changed his name nor en-
deavored to conceal his identity. Be
fore making the voyage to Ceylon
young Rev visited several of the
South American countries and Jamai-
ca. During all his travels he never
heard that his parents were searching
for him until he arrived at Ceylon.
Young Rev will return to Cornell on
Wednesday and enter the freshman
class, as he did two years ago.

Attention. Denositors,

After careful consideration of the re-
ports recently submitted by the receiv-
ers of the Bank of Salt Lake, it has
been decided to call a meeting of its
depositors for the purpose of discussing
and agreeing upon such line of action
as may appear wisest to them. To this
end meeting is called to take place
at Old City Hall on Thursday evening
next at 8 o'clock. 1t is also desired
that a committee representing the de-
positors of the First Bank of Mercur be
in attendance that an expression may
be had from that source.

Before going on sea voyage or into
the country, be sure and put a box of
Ayers Pills in your valise. You may
have occasion to thank us for this hint.
To relieve constipation, biliousness and
nausea, Ayers Pills are the best in the
world. They are also easy to take.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-23

One advantage of taking Ayers Sar-
saparilla to purify the blood is that you
need not infringe upon your hours of
labor nor deny yourself any food that
agrees with you. In a word, you are
not compelled to starve or loaf. while
taking it. These are recommendation
worth considering.

FRANK KNOX.

Frank Knox, president of the Bank
of the Republic, said it was not because
gold was scarce in the banks that they
were not paying it out. 1.-The fact is"
said he, most of the banks have large
amounts of gold, and that they do
not pay it out Unfortunately is be-
cause the people who want it are
generally those who have an idea it is
going to premium. When we have
reason an applicant for gold is such
a person, we decline to furnish it in
any considerable amount. We get
plenty OF gold, however, and we fur
nish it to customers and pay it gen.
orally in payment for checks if it is
requested, if the amount is not large.
don't think any of the banks are hold
ing gold for a premium, as 1 don
believe they expect it to go to pre-
MUM
In view of the fact that all the gen
tlemen had attributed the scarcity of
gold to the people boarding it, Mr..
Knox was asked if the banks had
taken any concerted action relative to
paying gold. He said they had not,
but that they had all discovered the
tendency of people to try to get hold
of gold for no apparent reason at
about the same time, and had talked
the matter over in the clearing house
at one time.

NJ. j. CHEESEMAN.

Morton j. Cheeseman. cashier of Walk
er Brothers bank, admitted frankly
that the banks are boarding gold, but
not for the reason that they expect it
to go to a premium. "Of course the
banks are boarding their gold,'' said he,
why shouldn't they2 If they paid it
out it would simply go out of circula-
ton, because the people who want it
want to hoard it themselves. There is
plenty Of gold to be had, because we
can send to California and get it, but
1 see no reason why we should pay the
express on it and allow it to go out of
circulation simply to say we are paying
gold. We have always carried great
deal of gold and always expect to, but
we are not boarding it for a premium,
as we don't look for any such thing.
We simply keep the gold because it is
the best money and there is no reason
why a bank shouldn't have the best
money"
Mr.. Cheeseman stated that his bank
did not have the same experience as
/ some of the others, who said that very
little gold came in. He said plenty of
it came in all the time, and that it can
be furnished to customers who re-
! Quired it.

the banks were refusing to pay gold as

is very good reason for it, There is
no gold coming into the banks to speak

All this, or nearly all, comes from the
east and is, of course in currency, as
gold has never been in general use IN
the east. These banks can scarcely be
expected to pay gold when it does not
come in over the counter. We try to
furnish our customers with gold but
do not pay it to people when they can
not furnish reason that makes it APP

W. P. Lynn, cashier of T. r. Jones

that 1 know of. is that they don't get
it to pay There is very little coming
in, but what does come we pay out
as it comes. We ship n money all the
time from the east, but it IS all currency
as gold never circulates to any extent
in the east. OF course we have a great
amount of gold but it is in our reserve
fund, and which we never draw, and as
none of the money we ship IN is gold,
we naturally pay that which comes over
the counter"
