Saws Young Mr. Eckels.

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Hon. James H
Eckels, comptroller Of the currency, ad-
dressed the members of the National
Association of Merchants and travellers
last night He spoke in Central Music
hall, which was filled with representa-
tive business men of all branches of
trade and coming from every state in
the northwest and upper Mississippi
valley.
He spoke on "The Rights Due Our
Business World" He urged the ad-
vantages of organization among the
business men of the country and said
they should pay more attention to the
law making -of the country. He de-
plored the tendency of the times
toward constant "tinkering" with laws
affecting business interests, declaring
that it had been so much the custom
that all guesses of the business man as
to the future conditions were nothing
but the veriest gambling. 1t had come
to pass that the business men viewed
with alright the opening of legisla--
tive session. Mr.. Eckels then dilated
on the necessity of sound money laws.
