THAT CURRENCY COMMISSION


In his message to congress on the
currency question. President Mckinley
said:
A notable assembly Of business men
with delegates from % states and ter
ritories was held in Indianapolis in
January of this year The financial
situation commanded their earnest at
tention, and after a two days session
the convention recommended to con-
gress the appointment of a monetary
commission. / commend this report TO
the consideration of congress. The
authors of the report recommend a
commission ito make thorough in
vestigation of the monetary affairs and
needs of this country in all relations
and aspects and to make proper sug-
gestions as to any evils found to exist
and the remedies therefor. This sub
ject should have been called TO the at
tention of congress at the special ses-
sion. II ought not to be postponed till
the regular session"
There could scarcely be a stronger
endorsement of the Indianapolis con-
vention than this. What did that con-
vention in its report recommend? Here
it is:
This convention declares that it has
consistent, straightforward and DELHI
erately planned monetary system shall
be inaugurated, the fundamental basis
of which should be:
First-That the present gold stand
ard be maintained.
Second-That steps should be taken
to secure the ultimate retirement of the
classes of United States notes by a
gradual and steady process so as to
avoid mi nv orT.oa IF he
rency or disturbance of business in
this, our country, and until such re-
tirement, provision should be made for
a separation of the revenue and note
issues in the departments of the treas
urY.
Third-That a banking system be
provided which should furnish credit
facilities to every portion of the coun-
try and elastic circulation, and eSpec-
tally with a view of securing such a
distribution of the loanable capital of
the country as will tend TO equalize
the rates 'of interest in all parts
thereof.
This report is a direct recommended
ton for the retirement of the green
backs. that shibboleth of the ReDub-
lican party, and the turning over of
the power to issue money to the banks.
And all this is recommended for the
consideration of a currency commits
sion.
This is the presidents real financial
scheme, and the effort" in behalf Of
international binetallism may be re-
garded as a mere by play that will af-
ford the administration an excuse for
saying, when nothing has been done
for silver, ''All that was possible was
done for silver
The president has not got his cur
rency commission yet. but he has
opened the question and congress in
regular session may be depended upon
to keep it open, and to keep it lively.

TEE SILVER REPUBLICAN LEAD
ERS.

The Boise Statesman says that in his
speech at Blackfoot, ex-senator Dubois
declared he approved the course of
Senator Cannon in voting against the
tariff bill. 1t also says that on the
same day Senator Teller made a speech
in the senate savagely attacking the
measure; while Senator Pettigrew was
already on record in uncompromising
opposition TO the bill The Statesman
then proceeds to comment as follows:
Thus we find all these socalled Silver
Republican leaders placing themselves
in opposition to a measure that fairly
represents Republican sentiment an the
tariff issue. They supplement their OPP
position by attacking the Republican
admins tration for the effort being
made to bring about an international
monetary conference. In the latter
respect they go even farther than the
Democrats.
These facts suggest the query, Why

The Gold Standard and he is now
asking by what right United States
senator seized upon his property and
had it reprinted in the Congressional

very much to the point, but we do not
know what he can do about it. Sena-
tors are a law unto themselves Is it
possible that any man who favors the
gold standard could be guilty of the
theft of anything?
