sion upon the bill prepared by the commits
sion and introduced in the House by Rep
Iesentatiye Oyerstreet. Mr.. Hanna said he
noted a healthy growth of sentiment for
the bill in Washington. Members of Con-
gress are more than willing to give it Sc
rious consideration, and 1t has among the
members a large number of very enthu-
siastic supporters.

me tenor of the correspondence is sur
prlsingly good. The committee was noti-
ned yesterday of resolutions strongly in
dorsing the report of the commission adopt
ed by the Louisville Board of Trade, the
NASHVILLE Board Of Trade, the San Jose
(CaL) Board of Trade and resolutions
strongly commenting it by the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation. Mr.
firanciers of New York, writes:
inclose herewith a copy of a preamble
New York Board of Trade and Transports
ton this afternoon. l exceedingly regret
that it is not possible for me to be one of
the number of our delegation, but private
business will hold me here. / have read
the report with some care. While there
may exist some honest differences of opin-
ION respecting the details for the carrying
out of the proposed plan, it seems to me
that the report of the Monetary Commits
sion is the best, simplest and most prac-
tical scheme which has yet been brought
forward, and feel the country is debtor to
the gentlemen VINO composed the commits
sion for the time, thought, attention and
intelligence which they have given the sub
Ject submitted to them. AS there probably
would not have been an Indianapolis con-
vention, or a monetary commission unless
you had taken the initiative, certainly
every one interested in the prosperity and
welfare of the country should recognize
their obligation to you. To have been as
ISOLATED in this work, even in a very insig-
nificant way has given me untold graft
fication / hope the convention to be held
on the 18th will realize every expectation,
and that its action will be wise and har-
monious."
JUDGE GRUBBS'S VIEW.
Judge George w. Grubbs of the Martins
Willie circuit, one of the strongest men on
the bench in Indiana, writes:
Il have received and read with much in
terest the report Of the Monetary Commits
sion. ] am in thorough accord and SYM
pathy with the movement for the reform
of the currency. l have heretofore given
this question some consideration, and had
not long investigated it until was driven
10 the conclusion that double standard of
value was impracticable and subsequent
consideration has strengthened that convic-
ton. / am convinced that The one thing
now important to settle and fix beyond ali
controversy is: That the present gold
standard shall be and continue to be the
unalterable standard of value in our none
tary system. Let this, If possible, be put
at rest forever.
Il am also in entire accord with expressed
views of the commission in regard TO the
necessity of the prompt modification of our
