currency now in circulation, in which the
people have full confidence, but it provides
for its safety so that if panic does come
again 1t will not be because of mistrust In
government currency, nor can such a panic
materially injure the credit of the cur

We will make no mistake upon this great
question in following the President. for no
one of our, public men has better judged or
better followed the enlightened sentiment
Of the Nation As a wise and conservative
statesman, he has always been faithful to
the interest of the people, and for that rea-
son he has their confidence. Like Lincoln,
he follows the thoughts and leads the voice
of the people. He bore the tremendous
physical and moral burdens of commander
in-chief of the army and navy of the United
States in foreign war, simply, quietly and
successfully. He turns once again to the
problems of peace. and we find that the
glory of martial achievement and the ap-
plause of the world have not changed the
cool, conservative and yet eXorable methods
of his thoughts and actions in public mat
tiers. Let us take the step In currency re-
form which he recommends, and thus re-
deem the obligations to the people which

Hon. Charles G. Dawes, controller of the

After giving his well known views on the
subject Mr.. Dawes, said, in conclusion:
In his second annual message the Pres

that national banks should be allowed to is
sue currency to the par of the United States
bonds deposited as security, but renewed in
strongest language his recommendation for
securing the safety of our governmental
currency system by setting aside q trust
fund in gold from which, when once re-
deemed in gold, greeenbacks shall not there

possible, under all the circumstances, to
construe this otherwise than an evidence

Let us remember that under the present

This country is now emerging from the
