MR.. COX,S PROBE.
Reveals Some Carefully Concealed
Features of the New Monetary
plan

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE hearing of
the monetary commission in behalf of
its bill for currency reform, was re-
sumed before the banking and curren-
cy committee of the house yesterday.
Mr.. T. ]. Bush of Alabama urged the
ease of redemption under the plan of
the commission.
Mr.. Bush also made the point that
while his friends might not succeed in
having this entire bill enacted as a law.
yet they at least desired that its es-
Sential features of relief would be in
corporated into measure of financial
reform.
The examination of ex-secretary
F'aifchild was then resumed
Mr.. Cox of Tennessee pronounced a
series of questions to Mr. FairchiId.
Technically he agreed with Mr. Cox
that the silver certificates were simply
warehouse certificates, but practically
they were used indiScriminateIY and
fulfilled all the functions of any other
class of money. Under the commission's
plan, the ex-seeretary said, the banks
could redeem notes in any lawful mon
ey.
IF the bank elects to redeem in sill
yer, and the note holder demands gold -
asked Mr.. Cox, would there be any
way of compelling the bank to pay
gOld?"
Mo- replied Mr.. Fairchild, who pro-
ceeded to explain, however, that the
exchanged at the treasury for gold
Under this plan the only method for
the banks to obtain gold, Mr. Fairchild
said would be by the presentation of
silver. Greenbacks would be out of
existence. So that if the outstanding
silver did not suffice to procure enough
gold from the treasury for the redemp-
ton of it's notes, the banks would be
compelled to procure gold elsewhere
He denied that the government could
be forced to redeem indirectly all the
bank notes in gold.
Mr.. Robert S. Taylor of Fort Wayne
Ind, appeared before the committee at
the afternoon session. In the course of
his statement he said:
have had talk enough, experience
enough, disaster enough. For five years
the business of this country has been
in a state of strain. The beating back
of the silver assault has relieved it for
the moment, but only for a moment
The inherent weaknesses of the system
remain, and will remain while the mon
ey of the country and its standard of
value continue to be the subject of
party strife and liable to change at any
session of congress-
Chairman Walker gave a dinner last
night to the monetary commission, the
Massachusetts delegation and the
members of the banking and currency
committee Secretary Gage was among
the guests
