is Rotten.
Atlanta constitutional
The result of the southern bankers
convention, which has been in session
in Atlanta, ia chiefly significant in
the encouragement it gives to those
who have demanded currency reform
on the line OF principles eDunciated in
the Democratic platform; not that
the bankers convent n has Endorsed
the demands of that platform as
regards the currency, but because
this representative meeting of south
ern bankers has Joined in emphatic
action in the contention that the
present federal currency system is
rotten to the core, and in the de-
mand that it must be changed.
The action of the bankers couven
ton indicates that a change of senti-
ment has taken place among promi
nent bankers and business men, and
it is simply a question of time when
the iniquities OF the present currency
system will force the business senti
ment of the country to the accept
ance of the Democratic plan as the
only hope of relief from the pressure
of existing conditions.
The work of the bankers conven
ton was a long step forward, and
when the fact is taken into consider
alton that this convention Is but a
little more than a year removed from
the last presidential campaign, when
"agitation" was declared to be a
menace to prosperity, the signifi-
canoe of the resolutions adopted is
