d, MESSAGE ON THE CURRENCY.


Tho President Urges tho appointment
ofa Monetary Commission.
Washington, July c6.-Before final
Adjournment the president sent the fol-
lowing message to congress:
TO the Congress of the United States:
In my message convcning the con-
gress in extraordinary session called
attention to u single subject--that of
providing revenue adequate to meet
the reasonable and proper expenses Of
the government. I believed that to be
the most pressing subject for settle
ment then.
A bill to provide the necessary rev.
enues for the government has already
passed tho house Of representatives and
the senate, and awaits executive aC-
tion.
I, Another question Of very great I'M
portance is that Of tho establishment
Of our currency and banking system
on better basis, which l commented
upon in my inaugural address as fol-
lows:
Our financial system needs some re-
vision; our money Is all good now,
but It's value must not further bc

attack, nor its stability to doubt or dis

stant embarrassment to the govern

treasury"
Nothing was settled more clearly at
the late national election than the do
termination upon tho part Of the people
to keep their currency stable in value
and equal to that Of the most advanced
nations Of the world.
Tha soundness Of our currency Is no.
where questioned. No loss can occur
to its holders. 1t is the system which
should be simplihed and strengthened,
keeping our money just as good as it is
now, with less expense to the govern.

The sentiment of the country Is
strongly in favor OF early action by
congress in this direction, to revise our

RACE TO BEAT THE TARIFF LAW

Ono Captain Arrives on Time md Is
Checred-lIlSsesF For u Tardy One.
New York, July 26.-The closing
hours Of the operation of the Wilson
tariff law were full Of excitement. The
most exciting time was at 2:45 p. M.
when Captain Duton. of the Cunard
steamship Umbria, was brought to the
custom house in cab for the filing of
the manifest of the cargo of the vessel
in time to admit the payment Of duties
before the close OF the days business.
When the cab rushed up to the en-
trance of the building, its occupant was
greeted with cheers. He was partly
carried up the stone steps by the anX
ious brokers who had been awaiting
his arrival.
A reception of an entirely different
character was accorded Captain San
tell, of the French liner La Touraine,
who did not reach the custom house
until 4.07 p. m.--just seven minutes too
late to file his manifest. So anxious
had the importers been to secure the
entry of their invoices on this vessel
that a tug was dispatched down the
ba. to bring him ashore quickly.
Unlike Captain Duton. Of the Umbria,
who came In a tug. accompanied by
Freight Agent Currey. Of the Cunard
Line, the French captain, under the
rules of his company. would not leave
his ship until she was safely In her
dock.
When the cab bearing him rushed up
he was greeted with Kisses and groans.
A bowling mob otbrokers and hangers
on followed him about from depart
ment to department. willis he was
vainly trying to secure the admission
of the vessels manifest.
One of the heaviest losers by the late
arrival of La Touraine is l.. C. Del
monico. of the Fifth Avenue Art Gal
lery. There was a considerable con-
signmcnt Of paintings on board the
vessel for him. Under the Wilson bill
they were admitted free OF duty. but
the Dingley bill imposes a tariff of
$4,000 on this single shipment.

partisan contention.
A notable assembly of business men.
with delegates from 80 states and ter
ritories, was held at Indianapolis In
January of this year. The financial
situation commanded their. earnest at
tention, and after q two days session
the convention recommended to con-
gress the appointment Of monetary
commission.
l commend this report to the con-
sideration of congress. The authors of
the report recommend commission
ito make thorough investigation of
the monetary affairs and needs of this
country in all relations and aspects.
and to make proper suggestions as to
any evils found to exist and the reme-
dies therefor"
This subject should receive the at
tention of congress at Its special ses-
sion. 1t ought not to be postponed un-
til the regular session.
! therefore urgently recommend that
a special commission be created, nom
partisan in its character. to be COM
posed Of well-informed citizens OF diff
ferent parties, who will command the
confidence of congress and the coun-
try because of their special fitness for
the work, whose duty 1t shall be to
make recommendations of whatever
changes In our present banking and
currency laws may be found necessary
and expedient, and to report their con-
clusions on or before the first day of
November next. in order that the same
may be transmitted by me to congress
for it's consideration at its first regular
session.
1t is to be hoped that the report thus
made will be so comprehensive and
sound as to receive the support of all
parties and the favorable action Of con-
gress.
At all events, such a report cannot
fail to be Of value to the executive
branch OF the government, as well as
to those charged with public legisla-
ton. and to greatly assist in the estab-
lishment of an improved system OF
finance. WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
