been unavailing.

He Makes a Characteristic Speech
Before the State Legislature.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 27.-W. j. Bryan
visited the Texas legislature this morn
ing, and business was suspended, while
he made speech characteristic of his
last campaign.
He took occasion to say that he noted
with pride, that Texas was 10 the lead in
the matter of laws to regulate corpora.
tions, which were doing this country
great harm. He stated that in his state
and in others for the past twelve months,
corporations stepped out of chartered
rights, and into politics and he favored
the enactment of q law prohibiting COR
porations from contributing to cam
paign fund. He said that while reformers
were always called enemies of govern
ment the time would show that they were
right, and that he desired to encourage
them in their worthy fight against the
wicked corporations.

national banks snail be allowed to issue
currency to the par value of bonds, and
the tax on circulation shall be reduced,
and all banks be allowed to issue cur
rency based on assets under such nation
al supervision and restriction, as will
make it safe, elastic and redeemable in
gold at the bank of issue and at the City
of New York.
Third, that such banks with a capital of
$4,000 or more be authorized to be es.
tablished in towns and villages of less
than 5000 population. The committee

dent two of whom shall be selected from

and ability, two azriculturists, two mer-
chants or manufacturers, the remaining
to be selected on account of
ability and learning in science

political party. 1t shall be the duty of
this commission to enter upon thorough
and comprehensive consideration of the
banking affairs of the United States, and
the laws relating thereto, on or before
January 1, 1898. They shall make full
report.
The committee to which was referred
the subjects "a common monetary unit"
and international coin" made report
favoring change of coins in the United
