LYMAN J. CAGES VIEWS
Prospective Secretary Of Treas
ury Makes Statement.
POLICY WHICH HE WILL PURSUE.


should BE Retired-says the Purchase
of Silver Under the sherman Act Is a
Menace to- Business-No Reason Why
the Government Should Act as a Ware
house for Gold Silver.
Chicago, Feb. 2.-Lyman j. Gage. the
Chicago banker and prospective secre-
tary of the treasury, with great candor
and courtesy, makes his position quite
clear on financial affairs as follows:
"Cur whole monetary system Is the
result of makeshift legislation and un-
scientific compromises. 1t is time that
reform began. In my opinion the green
backs should be retired. The silver
purchased under the Sherman act
should be gradually sold and the treas
ury notes redeemed and cancelled.
Some well-guarded system of banknote
circulation, broader and more elastic
than the present national bank act pro-
vides, should be inaugurated. such
banknotes should be redeemable at
central place and be redeemable in gold
only
Silver Certificates Dangerous.
"Silver certificates, which form nearly
one-fifth of the circulating medium or
the United States, are dangerous. BY
their use a volume of inferior money
has found an abnormal use. They are
the most perplexing feature In the
much involved problem of our national
| finances"
"There is no reason why the govern
| ment should act as warehouseman
for either gold or silver. Such a func-
ton is outside its proper limit or action.
But we are faced by a condition. The
enormous amount of $5000OO,OOO OF sill
yer, represented by $33S, 600 in silver
certificates, added to the $l5OOO0'ooo
purchased by the government under the
Sherman act, constitutes standing
menace to every business interest.
ITO sum up the defects of our present
currency system are:
81. Confusing heterogeneity, which
needs simplfication.
"2. The greenback controverts the
principle of paper money-namely. thai
every note injected into the commercial
system should represent an existing
commercial value.
Idiotic and Immoral.
"3. The treasury note is standing
evidence of a foolish operation th'
creation of a debt for the purchase OF
a falling market of commodity 70
which the purchaser has no use; IL lie
open to the just charge of being bet
idiotic and immoral.
} "a. Tie national banknote merel
conforms to the true principle of pape
money, but the unreasonable require
ments for security paralyze its eff
cheney and operate to destroy its elias
ticity.
"5. The silver certificates encourag
! the use of silver to larger extent tina
Is consistent with the safe preservatio
OF that metal with parity with gold.
"Would a national commission hel
, ! to promote reform?"
There is reason to hope that 1t woul
be of great service in that direction
, Such a commission, II rightly selected
would throw flood Of light upon thes
questions involved"

REMEDY FOR FINANCIAL TROUBLES
EckeIs Again Before the Committee on
Banking and Currency.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Comptroller or
the Currency Eckels had a second con-
ference with the house committee on
banking and currency Monday. which
was a continuance of the meeting or
last Thursday Mr.. Eckels expressed
the opinion that the only remedy for
existing financial troubles was a COM
plete revision of the banking system
which would amount to almost new
system. The discussion was an lntor-
NAL one in which all the members or
the committee took part. Mr. Eckels
thought that no more gold for redemp-
ton purposes would be needed under
a proper banking system than now. Inc
only use for metallic money was Tor
redemption purposes.
Representative Newlands OF Nevada,
principal representative OF free silver
on the committee, asked many ques-
tions In response to them Mr.. Eckels
said that the countries which had best
developed systems of credit were Eng
land. the United States and France and
Germany. Banks did not neeo sucn
large reserves so much to protect theiI
currency as to protect their deposits
Russia had been hindered in It's en-
deavors to reach the gold standard, MT
Eckels said, by adverse business condi'
tions and by heavy taxation on hel
neople. The characteristics OF the Rus
s,an neople were such that more gole
would be required for redemption thar
IN countries where the people were mor'
used to banking methods.
