that many people have doubts as to the
ability of the government to meet all de-
mands for exchange of money into gold
but he believed that these approximations
were unwarranted, and it was certain that
the only way to maintain a parity was to
have the money interchangeable.
silver ExchanEeabIe for Gold.
The apprehension was with reference to
the interchangeability of silver dollars with
gold. and this only emphasized the embar-
rassment to the government of coming a
vast number of silver dollars; but, as a
matter of fact, the parity of value of the
silver dollar with other money depends
upon the pledge of the government to MAIN
tain it. which pledge implies Interchange
ability. The only sensible and scientific
way to make absolute prov sion for the par
1ty, he said, was to PROVED. that the silver
dollar should be interchangeable with gold.
If the gold is no better than the silver dol
lar. he asked how can this be more COM
pletely demonstrated than by full ex-
change? Under the provisions of this
measure. ns said, the large silver certif-

to be used in daily transactions. This
would scatter the silver in a way to make
it practicable for it to be brought together
in great volume for exchange at government
counters He said that on September 30
1899, there were in round numbers $405, &C.,
900 in silver certificates and $50, 600 900 in
silver dollars. OF this there was about
ton.
The Use of Silver.
By the withdrawal from circulation of all
one, two and five-dollar greenbacks and
treasury notes and reissuing the same in
larger denomination, the place of the small
notes to be taken by silver certificates,
there would be opened a place for the safe
and nominal use of silver to meet the BUSH
ness demands of the country. The silver
certificate rather than the silver dollar
would meet the convenience of the people
He said that the two provisions, the one
making silver actually interchangeable
with gold and the other scattering 1t
through the medium of small denomination
silver certificates, would probably avoid all
possible danger of considerable amounts
being presented at the government counter
for exchange. He said the growth of our
business. made large demand for subsidi-
airy coin, which it was important should be
met.
The Banking Law.
He said that the present measure made
no change in the general banking laws. The

ana IN perfect harmony with the policy of
our government throughout its history. To
dispel all lingering doubt in the minds of
the public and to give clear expression to
me nation purpose relative to its mon

he said that the rapid development of
AhieTlcdh trade was bringing American
people in closer relation with the nations of
the world and rendering imperative a stable
standard of value. Recent events have
opened new fields to American statesman
sup, new channels to. American trade and
enterprise, and the standard of money value
needed to be stable. The great prosperity
OF the country, abundant revenues, bounti-
1ui harvests, large employment of labor, the

an opportune time for the legislation re-

Legislation to Maintain Standard.
he expressed the opinion that under
these conditions the United States should
adopt the gold standard by definite legisla-

suited from tho resumption of specie pay

poses. and that the practice Of maintaining

The provision in this bill for a reserve

are among the brainlest men of
the country. 1t is a work Of

Is the proper channel through
which should flow the contribu-
tons cf any and all who wish to
reach the truly needy. 1t is the
greatest charitab bic association III
the world, and for the sa ke of It's
work aud fifty years Of satisfac-
tory results, it should be con-
tributed to by all. It's main Of
