The gold to be contributed to the Treasury

the banks and the ability OF the Sub-Treasury
TO receive and count and examine II. The list
will not be completed before Thursday. and no
gold will be delivered to the Sub-Treasury be-

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP EXPORTS
There was some talk of the adoption OF meas
ures to stop gold exports. Inquiry Of leading
bank officers and drawers Of foreign exchange
failed TO elicit any practical BILE method by which
this end could be accomplished. OF course ex-
ports could be terminated by regulation Of for
eign exchange as was done by the Morgan Bel
mont bond syndicate under its contract with
the Government in 1895 but that would cost a
vast sum. and the Government could not legally
assume the expense. while certainly private
interest would Another way would be for the
banks and other lenders of money TO raise
loaning rates but this is just impracticable
as the other plan. The effect would be TO bring
English money into this market to obtain the
benedt OF the increased rates while the home
money market would be piled up In idleness. AS
the home money would be earning nothing the
loss would be equivalent TO an expense as great
as the expense OF regulating foreign exchange.
Az a bank president put II, The only way to stop
gold shipments is to kill off the shippers"
No gold was withdrawn from the Sub-Treas-
ury or Assay Office yesterday but II is prob
able that some will be taken today for ship
ment TO Berlin by the Fuerst Bismarck. OF the
Hamburg American line. which sails to-mor-
row. There may be other shipments by La

Final Work of the Committee on Re-olu-
tions-The Changes.
CHICA AGO, July l0-Thc committee on
resolutions held brief meeting Thursday
morning and agreed upon several amend
ments of the PLATFORM the most impor-
tant of which was the following substi-
tutc for the plank on bank issues:
Congress alone has power to coin and
issue money and President jackson de-
clared that this power could not be dele
gated to corporations or to individuals.
We therefore denounce the issuance Of
notes as money for national banks as in
dcrogation of the constitution and we de-
mand that all paper which is made legal
tender for public and private debts, or
which Is receivable for dues to the United
States, shall be issued by the government
of the United States and shall he redeem
able i'm coin"
At the suggestion of ex-senator Walsh
and Delegate Dwycr, the new committee
man from California, seconded by Mr..
Holman, of Maine, the following was
added to the preamble:
The constitution of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the rights of
civil and religious liberty. The Demo
cratic party has always been the exponent
of political liberty and religious freedom,
and IL renews its obligations and reatlirms
its devotion To these fundamental princi-
pies of the constitution"
Additions were also made declaring for
arbitration and making the labor plank
more explicit
