THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Greenbacks 10 Be Retired-NationaI
Banks to Plrchase Bonds.

Indianapolis. Jan. 2s.-rhe following
statement was prepared for the Associ-
ated Press by the Merchants Association
Of New York:
First-rhe legal tender note commonly
called the greenback. should be retired by
the use OF money in the treasury and by
the issue OF longtime low-lnterest bear
ing bonds. Bullion heretofore held as
basis for treasury notes will by this re-
tirement become available as additional
security for silver certificates stln out
standing
Second-National banks should be al
lowed to purchase these bonds and use
them at par as the basis for circulating
notes; no notes to be issued for less de-
nomination than so. The features Of the
present law relative to the tax on circu-
atiOn and the per cent redemption funds
to remain unchanged except that the tax
be reduced to one-half OF one per cent,
which will be ample to provide for the
expenses OF tine office OF controller OF the
currency.
Third-All national banks shall be re
Quired to redeem their notes at their own
counters, at the treasury OF the United
States or any sub-treasury in gold coin,
or all deposits for the per cent redemp-
tion fund shall be in gold coin.
Fourth-NatiOnal banks shall be allow
ed to establish branches in any part Of
the country, BY means OF these branches
the surplus money now In money centers
can be utilized for the moving Of crops
and the prosecution of general business.
This system has been thoroughly tried
for many yeans by the Canadian banks
and in very small towns in the dominion
by means OF these branches the same H.
nancial advantages are enjoyed by the
business men of the localities as the clti-
Gems of the largest cities BY this means
also merchants and other borrowers in
the interior are able to discount their pa
per at home instead OF being obliged, as
in the United States. to send to money
centers and sell through note brokers.
This system of branch banks will In
evitably cause specific reductions and
tend to equalization OF the sales Of in
teTest throughout the country and this
is the scientific answer to the demands
OF the south and west for more currency
1t viii also furnish facilities for borrow
ing money on mortgages or otherwise
and will bring the borrower and lender
together at the borrowers home.

spAIN,s rr,EET

Madrid. Jan. 2,-Admiral Chacon. the
admiral Of the fleet. has arrived here and
had long conference with Admiral Ber-
mejo. the minister OF marine. He asserted
That the recent evolutions had demon
strated the perfect condition of the feet.
The next cabinet council will decide what
American ports the Spanish men-or-war
are to visit. The Spanish papers sharply
stlgmatlze the Maine incident as an act
of unwaranted provocation. Most OF
them counsel the people OF Havana to
show forbearance,
In official circles the tendency is to ac-
cept the argument that the United States
Is friendly and It is needless to attacn
importance to the visit of an American
vessel to Havana.

Comments on sending United states
Ships 10 Havana.

New York. Jan. 8.--A Madrid dispatch
10 the World says:
The official intimation OF contemplated
visit OF American war vessels to Havana
and the presence OF the American squad
ron In West Indian waters has caused a
sensation and much displeasure at Mad
rid. which the press Of all shades OF opin-
ion echo today with much bitterness. Ei
impartial Gals the conduct OF American
provocatlon without justification and rec
ommends Spaniaris in Havana to be pru-
dent and self-poasessed and to show in
difference during the stay Of the American
vessels.
Sagasta says the Spanish government
attaches no Importance to the movement
Of the American ship. as II Is perfectly
aware that President Mckinley harbors
no designs against the present cordial re-
lations between the two countries. 1t Is
easy to see. however, ne says, how poll
ticians and military men apprehend any
demonstration by the old Spanish party
In Havana on the occasion OF visit by
American vessels that would find an echo
in the patriotic feelings and hardly sup
pressed irritation against the United
States in Spain.
