SOUND MONEY LEAGUs.

New York, Nov. is. "A meeting Of
the executive committee of the National
sound money league was held here to-
day. Most of the session was occupied
in talk upon the significance of the re-
suits of the recent elections
Congressman Fowler OF New Jersey
attended the meeting and gave as his
opinion, that it would be good policy to
let the currency reform bill of the
House banking committee remain with
out action at the coming short session
for the reason that it could not be gotten
through the Senate and that to debate
it in the House would only develop
antagonisms in the Republican party
that would weaken whatever currency
legislation might be brought up in the
next Congress. He thought that the
President might be- urged to call an
extra session of the new Congress to
convene in the spring for the enactment
of the gold standard into statute law
and by the adoption of legislation fol
the credit currency of the country.
