INCREASED USE OF SILVER.
A Feature of the Report That PIeases
William f.. Dodge.

William e. Dodge of New York, who is
one of the best-known business men of the
United States, and who is one of the lead
ers in the monetary reform movement, yes
terday in an interview said:
Il think the result of the conference last
year and the discussion growing out of it
have resulted in a very much wider and
deeper interest all through the country in
the matter of monetary reform We were
particularly fortunate in the selection of the
commission which has prepared the report.
It's members were wise and experienced men
having the confidence of the country, and
their discussion of this subject was quite
outside of partisanship and sectionalism.
They have given long and continuous study
to the matter, and beginning with divergent
views have arrived at unanimous conclu-
sions as to methods of reform. [ believe
their report is wise, reasonable and prac-
ticable and while many of us might differ
as to minor details, 1 believe the conference
will adopt the report with enthusiasm and
practical unanimity. ] believe that, not
withstanding all the discussion as to BIZ
metallism and silver, that the matter of
standard has ceased to be open ques-
ton Even since the last meeting of the
convention the rapid changes in the bust
ness world have made it absolutely sure
that one standard of value is absolutely
necessary. ana that gold has become and
will continue to be the basis of the commerce
of the world in spite of any laws of con-
crosses or parllaments
Il am particularly pleased with some
points in the report. First, it will involve
no reduction of circulating medium or any
disturbance to the business of the coun-
try. Second by withdrawing all bank bills
under SO it will provide for very greatly
increased use of silver and small bills based
on silver as subsidiary coins in all sections
Of the country. Third the suggestions as
to banking on assets are in line with the
experience of the most successful banking
in all parts of the world. | am particularly
interested in the fact that the banking fa-
cilities provided for will give to the agri-
cultural and sparsely settled portions of the
country banking and credit facilities in
their ordinary business which they greatly
need and should have. 1t will do away with
the congestion of money at great centers,
and will provide for it's distribution where
it is most needed reducing the rates of in
tereSt and encouraging promptness, thrift
and growth of character. ] have the great
est sympathy with the Well-grounded COM
plant of many sections of the country as
to their want of proper money facilities.
They have real financial privations which
can be easily remedied in way that would
prevent the growth of false theories OF
finance and unfair prejudices.

NOT TO PAY TEMPLE DEBT.
Mrs. Carse Explains the w. G. Il.
ap-Wrapper scheme.

Chicago Post.
I'VE will not liquidate the Temple debt
by any penny affair. That would be too
small. The soap wrapper proceeds will go
into the treasury of the National w. G.
T. U. and will be used by it for defraying
it's ordinary expenses"
So said Matilda b. Carse to-day when she
had read the stories of the enterprising
company which intends to help the union
and incidentally to advertise its soap BUSH
ness. Mrs Carse explained that the officials
of the WOmans Christian Temperance
Union had not sent out circulars urging
everyone to buy the soap, but that the
packing house in question was doing it
all. It's offer is appreciated by the women
and they promise to buy the particular
kind of soap it will manufacture.
The soap scheme, briefly stated. is this:
The manufacturers will place the new soap
on the market at the regular price. cents
q bar For every wrapper sent back before
Jan. l. 1892 a cent is offered, if the wrap
per is returned by the w. c. T. T. The
women who use the soap are requested to
send to the Temple the wrappers and the
union officers will get the money, which
they expect will come in large sums.

The Sentinel MisrepreYented Their
Position Regarding qreenbacks.

The big delegation from iowa, headed by
Governor Shaw has been bne of the most
striking features of the convention. There
are about sixty delegates here from that
State, and they compete with Indiana for
the honor of the largest delegation present.
The announcement in the Sentinel that the
delegation opposed to the retirement
of the greenbacks led to an Indignation
meeting yesterday, at which the state
ment was promptly and completely repudi-
ated. Each of the fifteen delegations chose
one of it's number to visit the newspaper
offices and announce that they were en-
phaticalIy in favor of retiring the green
backs and indorsing the whole plan of the
monetary commission. The Iowa men,
headed by Governor Shaw, created a sensa-
ton when they marched into the various
offices and requested that the misstatement
regarding their position be corrected. They
clinched the matter by another meeting,
after the adjournment of the convention in
the afternoon, at which they resolved to
request their representatives In Congress to
vote for currency reform upon the gold

why the Canal should BE Built.

Senator Turpe in Harper.
There may be many and potent reasons
for the building of the Nicaragua ship canal
aside from those that would regard it only
in the light of a commercial investment
In the voyage from New York to San Fran
cisco it would save the long passage round
Cape Horn. The Strait of Magellan would
be removed thousands of miles toward the
north; the two Americas would be united
by closer commercial relations than ever
before, but none of these considerations
should induce our government. hastily or
magnitude. Vast national enterprises of
this character are best preceded by the most
careful preparation, by thorough knowl-
edge of the hindranceS and impediments in
the way of their achievement and by an
estimate as accurate as can be made of the
amount of expenditure necessary to their
execution

The Chicago Times-Herald has the follow
ing to say of the permanent chairman of
the money convention:
Governor Leslie NJ. Shaw of Iowa who
presdes over the monetary commission, is
one of the foremost sound money champions
of the Nation. Mr.. Shaw was elected Gov
ernor by a plurality Of thirty thousand
votes i'm the late election He swept the
State easily and left no room to doubt the
sentiment of the people of the Hawkeye
State on the money question
1.-The success of last years great cam
paign was attributed to Mr.. Shaw's per-
sonality and to his effective work on the
stump While not oratorical. Mr. Shaw 5
speeches were the most simple cogent.
practical and effective that We're ever heard
i'm Iowa. His wealth of happy illustration,
simplicity of analogy and great force of
logic never left his audience hesitating as
to the only correct view of the dominating
issue of the hour.
1.-The Governor ELECT is a solid man of af-
fairs who has a thorough understanding of
both the practical and the theoretical phases
of the money question. He is a financer, a
lawyer and a practical banker He looks at
life through the near, and not through the
far end of the telescope.

the people of Iowa more thoroughly than
has the distinguished citizen they have
chosen for their Governor.
