they bring n most severe indictment

squarely facing the situation. Follow

BANKS ANo BAD BUSINESS.
Scarcity OF Money Makes SLOW Collections
aud Brings Ultimate Sospsnsions

"N~scUy OF Money makes SLOW ColbecthOu3
and Brings Ultimate saspsnsions
After the first surprise. following
the failure of the great New York house.
of Hilton, Hughes g. Co, comes the cool
end deliberate investigation into the
causes which toppled over this famous
firm.
Mr.. Gillian, whose long years of
experience rs newspaper editor, and
also as the chief of the advertising de-
partment of John Wanamaker renders
him apt TO be more than ordinarily carea
ful In his statements, says:
''As to the causc OF tho suspensloh. they
wcro unable 20 raise ready cash. and were
consequently forced to the wall. Cash
could not be had on the very best gilt
edged collateral
by the very best Eilt-edged collateral
mean good real estate. Col. Hilton Ind
seriously endeavored 10 faiso funds on the
very best or real estate. but has failed
and was tired OF carrying the burden Of
the business on his shoulders. Judge RUS
sell has tried for scveral days 10 raise S750.-
coo on Si.oO0.0O0 of United States bonds. but
the banks would not let the money 70. Sew
erh times he thought ne would be able 10
negotiate for the amount desired but EACH
time II resulted IN failure at just about tho
time IL looked IL success would be at
taincd."
a careful reading of the above seems
to make IL plain that had the banks
been little more sensible, and liberal,
the failure would have been nverted.
The banks seem TO have shut their
vaults TO all loans. When money can
not be secured upon United States
bonds, II is evident that the banking
interests are pursuing most eNtraor-
dinary md short-sighted policy, and
that their own folly Is mainly respon-
sible for much OF the financial strin-
gcncy and the growing demand for the
free coinage OF silver.
Another assertion made by Mr.. Oil
lam reveals the cause of many failures
and the chief impedImcnt TO prosperity.
lie says:
'one or tho causes which was nlso In
strumcntal In leading 60 the failure was
slow collections. II We could have coll
iectcd one-half OF the amount outstand-
ing there would have been no trouble
whatever In tiding the business over with
out help from the outside"
There is IA trouble which must con-
tinue until the volume of circulation
Is increased. With money scarce and
the banks boarding II, and denying
loans even upon gilt-edged securities.

domination and 10y the free coinnge OF
