CURRENCY REFORM.
The Hopeless Task OF the Monetary
Comm ssion.

COmmtssiOn.
The convention called for the purpose
of urging the adoption of the monetary
commissions currency reform plan
which met at indianapolis few days
ago is made up of estimable men who
have undertaken an impracticable task
that of persuading the people and
congress that they should accept an
unsafe, retrograde plan of currency
reform" which If adopted would carry
the country back to wildcat days and
teach the present generation what the
evils of an insecure paper currency are.
The managers of this convention, who
are the authors of the monetary con.
ference scheme, have undertaken to
convince the American people that II
Is best to have all the legal tender paper
which the general government has
coined and issued funded into interest
bearing bonds TO the amount of $780,
900, 900, thus adding over S13,000,000 to
the yearly interest bill.
Nor is this all. The people are to be
persuaded--if possible-that the gov
eminent should invite the banks to sup
ply paper money to the amount Of a
billion or more dollars. These notes,
which the banks are to issue after the
government has gone out of the bank
ing business" are not to be secured by
United States bonds, as at present, but
are to be first lien on the assets of the
banks.
The promoters of the monetary COM
mission plan will have their hands full
endeavorng to convince the people that
these notes. secured by assets which are
mainly the property of depositors, will
be any safer than the state bank notes
which used to circulate before the war.
The mass of the people will believe. in
spite of all the delegates to the Indian
apolis convention can say, that bank
note issues under the monetary COM
mission plan would be dangerous to
noteholders and depositors, and that
when financial storm came most of
the banks would go into the hands of
receivers.
The people are to be persuaded-if
possible-that the legal tender notes
which are redeemab,e in gold on de-
mand shall be funded and replaced by
bank notes which are not to be redeem
able i'm gold on demand. They are to
be made redeemable in lawful money"
which includes silver as well as gold.
That silver-which would be used al
ways by the banks for redemption pur-
poscs-is to be made redeemable in gold
by the treasury. So the promoters of
the monetary commission plan must
make the people believe, first, that the
legal tender notes must be funded into
interest-bearing bonds in order "to get
the government ont Of the banking
business" and, second, that it should
Ego into the banking business" so as TO
redeem 500, 100000 silver dollars in gold
on demand. in order that the banks may
not have to redeem their notes in gold.
The enthusiastic gentlemen who
have assembled at indianapolis will
find before they are much older that
they have "bitten Off more than they
can chew" II may be that after they
have butted their heads for few
months against the stone wall Of popu-
Ear disapproval of their scheme they
will see how hopeless are their efforts
to deform the currency system.-Chi-
caro- Tribune
