subject of immigration. Mr.. Grosvenor took
occasion to express the opinion that the
President had never used some of the lam

ed into general discussion of our industrial
conditions, in the course of which the strike
in New England, the high prices for wheat
in Kansas and the defaulting Republican

their parts. Messrs. Dingley, Greene (Pop.,

THE SECOND MONETARY CoNvEN-
TION.

The first monetary convention, held in this
city rather more than year ago, was COM
posed of the representatives of business or
CARNATIONS. such as boards of trade, to de-
wise plan which would prevent the recur-
renee of the depressions and embarrass-
ments consequent upon the character OF
our currency. In that convention many
views were put forth but no plan was an
nounced upon which any considerable por-
ton of the delegates could agree The con-
vention appointed an executive committee
and adjourned. After mature elaboration
that committee selected a committee or
commission to formulate plan. 1t was a
commission composed of men of large ex-
perience, of students OF finance and prac-
teal business men, representing every sec
ton Of the country. A few weeks ago that
commission submitted plan with practical
unanimity. AS it now stands that plan is
the report of the commission. To give that
plan due consideration, it must be submit
ted to. discussed and acted upon by the rep
resentatives of the same bodies whose dele
gates constituted the first monetary con-
vention. The plan of the commission, in
dorsed by the same body which could not
agree upon details over a year ago. becomes
the plan Of the sound money business men
of the country. Until so indorsed, the plan
of the commission lacks the essential feat
ure needed to make it a positive element in
the contest for sound currency. Thus the
second convention, which meets to-day, is a
logical sequence of the first
1t is idle for the enemies of sound cur
rency to cast aspersions upon the conven-
ton. 1t is a body of representative business
men-many of them business men like Mr..
Hanna, who has taken so prominent part
in the movement. AS business men they are
anxious to secure a stable currency. Bor-
rowers of money, as most business men
dealing with large affairs are. they desire a
currency which cannot be manipulated to
create that general uneasiness which par
alyzes the enterprise and the consumption
upon which industry lives. AS borrowers,
business men desire a currency which will
be so abundant that money will be cheap.
They know that money will be abundant
when there is general confidence in the
stability of the currency. 1t is when there
is doubt regarding the character of the cur
rency that the small owners of money,
whose aggregate is the loanable money of
the country, put it into gold and take it out
of circulation.
AS convention of the representatives of
the business organizations of the country
it will have an influence with intelligent
people that no other assemblage can have,
and no assault of the political foes of sound
money can break the force which it's unani-
nous declaration will have with the peo-
pie.
