MESSAGE WILL
BEAR ON COLD STANDARD lines

Senator Stephen B. Elkins says that
the coming message Of President Nc
Kinley will probably have for it's most
prominent feature, after the war stu
alton, the recommendation for a revis
ion of the currency along the lines ia
vored by gold standard republicans.
Senator Elkins saw President McKin-
ley one day last week. and his state
ment has additional significance on ac-
count of that fact
4 am satisfied from what I have
learned" said Senator Elkins, that the
president will dwell very strongly on
the currency question. There is feel
ing among leading republicans that the
currency question should be taken up
and disposed of at the earliest oppor-
tunity. That it will finally be placed
on solid, straightforward gold basis
there Is not the slightest doubt in my
mind, and ! have taken pains to inform
myself of the trend of affairs. There
is a disposition on the part of the ad-
ministration, as 1 understand it, to
make the currency question so plain
with reference to the gold basis that
there will be no room for interpreted
tons or differences 1t strikes me
that is just what the business men of
this country want in the, way of cur
