THE NEW CURRENCY BILL.

The Banking and Currency Committee
of the House Of Representatives has re-
ported a bill to the House for a COM
plete reformation of our currency sys-
tenn. We believe this result is due more
to the untiring efforts of the chairman Of
the committee. Hon. j. il. Walker, of
Massachusetts, than TO any other cause.
For years past he has been working
without intermission and with the high
est intelligence to secure reform in our
currency legislation, and while every
body knew that something was out of or
der in our financial system. he is about
the only man that has held on with a
bulldog grip TO purpose 10 bring abou
It was the particular amendment that he
advocated or some other amendment. 1t
is this persistent advocacy OF doing
something that has resulted in the Bank
ing and Currency Committee bringing
forward a bill at last.
1t is in the spirit that animates Chair
man Walker that The Times IS
glad that the bill has been
brought fordward. What we want is
the beginning of amendment. If We can
induce the country to once break loose
from the system that we now have. The
Times has great hopes that we can con-
tlnue the process OF amendment until we
finally terminate all the oppressive re-
strictions that now embarrass our people.
For this reason we hope most sincerely
that the House Of Representatives will
pass the bill that the committee has re-
ported and place upon the free silver men
OF the Senate the responsibility OF de-
feating H.. The election Of 1896 Killed

rates in the direction of reforming the
currency and 1t will be a boomerang for
tho benefit OF the free coiners.
II would be insincere in The Times II Il
said this bin meets what II thinks the
demands Of the case. The demands Of the
case are that all restrictions OF all sorts
shall De removed from banking and that
banking including the issue OF currency
notes shall be as free as the sale OF
shoes and hats. But the present gene
ration has inherited a vast amount OF
ignorance touching the subject OF finances
and The Times has no hope that 1t will
unlearn the vicious Misrepresentation that
II has received and learn that there 4,

One cannot take up a newspaper or

verify a clever production from he
standpoint of both dramatic and liter
airy critics. The greatest tribute to its
worth is, perhaps, the fact that Sir
iieiis hNihS has ueelleu II "oioHy Vi
his talent. NJ. Coquelin has played the
title role in Paris and Mansfield in New
York. Amateurs should look with
reverence on such a play but the anna
teur has the courage of a hercules and
audacity to match the courage. Hence
it is that this very play is to be given
in February by Laramie talent, for the
benefit of the county library. This is
an excellent play for an excellent cause
and much encouragement and many
suggestions will be accepted with
pleasure.
