NEW YORK, April AIT the banquet
OF the Manhattan company last night,
Secretary Of the Treasury Gage referred
30 the circumstances OF his visit to this
city In 1896 and the assistance he OBJ
talned from the banks.
'It was a time" he said, "when the
government OF the United States had re-
duced Its gold reserve to something over
$40, 1000 II had offered Its securities to
the public, It had invited a popular loan,
the credit Of the government was being
attacked and n was facing mighty vol
ume of liabilities for which It had no
assets to provide and no money to pay.
"It appealed to the country to give its
resources In exchange for its securities.
It was the second appeal within a short
period OF time and the nation was threat
ened with change to new standards
Of value and every interest was threat
ened with bankruptcy and chaos, Most
Of you had previously brought your re-
sources to the aid of the government.
Now declining values appeared to have
made loss certain.
Mr.. Gage euloglzed the patriotism OF
the New York banks at this critical time
and said that to their action then was
now due the fact that the credit Of 'the
United States was unimpalred. It hau
been reported in the newspapers that the
treasury contemplates a further issue OF
bonds
"T do not see any need Of such action, -
said Mr.. Gage, "The treasury now has
s2SI, 100000 of not money and after nay-
ment Of the Spanish claim there will be

market Is not such as to create anxiety, -
