Senator Morgan and his daugh-
tiers and F. M. Hatch. the new
Minister from Hawaii. were
among the passengers who ar
rived from Honolulu upon the
steamship Belgic. Senator Nor
gan expressed himself as well
pleased with what he saw and
the manner in which he was en-
tertained while on the islands.
He is more than ever enthusias,
tic upon the subject of annexa-
ton, and intimated that Hawaii
may become part of this coun-
try before the close of the COM
ing year.
A table published in the Iron
Age, of New York, shows that on
October /, 1897, there were III
iron furnaces in blastin the Unit
ed States, with a weekly produc-
ing capacity of 2Oo,12s tons. This
is an increase of ten furnaces in
the month of September, and a
gain in productive capacity of
about $4,000 tons in hat time.
There has been a steady increase
in the number of furnaces in op-
Grafton and in the quantity of
output ever since the beginning
of July. In fact, ever since the
defeat of Bryan there has been a
gain, except in April, May and
June.
The American people says the
Commercial Tribune, must be
proud of the record the defeated
candidate of the Popocratic par
ty of last year is achieving in
making himself a drawing card
for county fairs through the
country. Mr.. Bryan "lectured'
at the Wichita KANSAS County
Fair the other day, under an
agreement to receive one-half of
the gate receipts. This was paid
him, amounting to 50, 400, but it
was then discovered that he had
been swindled by the manage
ment, which had made extra
charge for grand stand tickets
and for selling beer, the proceeds
of which were not divided with
Mr.. Bryan.

VIEWS OF SOUTHERN BANKERS
WANT AN ELASTIC CURRENCY
UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL.
Government Relations Should Apply
AS Well to State AS to National
Banks, Says Hoke Smith.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec 15.-The southern
bankers convention met here today
on a call of the Atlanta clearing house
association to consider currency re-
form and reach measures which will
give an elastic currency and to take
the government out of the banking
business.
Mr.. John A. Davis, of Albany, Ga,
was elected president and Darwin G.
Jones, manager of the Atlanta clear
ing house, secretary, T. P. Hilyer, a
Macon banker was chosen assistant
secretary, President Davis declared
himself in full sympathy with the
movement for an elastic currency, but
said the standard must be that of all
nations.
Hon. Hoke Smith, in his address of
welcome, dwelt upon the resources of
the south, needing currency for their
! development. He urged that coin alone
was insufficient for prosperous coun-
! try. He advocated the retirement of
greenbacks and treasury notes and the
! substitution of banks of issue under
| federal control. He urged that the per-
centage of charge on the issue should
decrease as the percentage of issue in
creased, thereby making a currency
ample for the needs of trade. He in
! sisted that the government relations
should apply as well to state as to ra-
! tional banks.
The next speaker was William S.
! Dodsworth, editor of the New York
Journal He condemned the national
banking system as inelastic and I'M
suited to the needs of the country and
declared the greenbacks a curse which
vitiates the system. He favored au-
thorizing state and national banks to
issue bills to 80 per cent of their cap
ital secured by first lien upon their
resources and the country needed safe
and elastic currency and this could be
supplied through the issues of such
| banks.
