Chicago, Oct. 26.-While politics is
by rule excluded from the meetings of
the Illinois Bankers association, yet
the one "paramonnt' theme of dis
cussion at the convention held at
Rockford is the prosperity of the
United States, the policies that have
caused it, and the disaster to the
country that would follow the cleo
ton of a president pledged to the sill
yer standard. The opening address Of
President Harris said:
"If we inquire for the causes that have
produced such great and favorable
changes In the business world within the
last few years, we shall probably all
agree as TO the answer In my judgment,
at least the change has grown up out
Of that stronger feeling Of security In the
business world resulting from wise legis-
lation for the establishment of single,
well-delined standard of values recog-
nlzed as Just and safe by all the leading
nations OF tne tdTtn'
But we are not yet secure. believe
that president Of the United States who
Is deeply devoted to the silver standard
idea could force this country to a silver
basis, by the aid of secretary Of the
treasury of similar notions, and could do
this IN spite of the act by which we sup
pose tht gold standard to be established"
The feature of the convention has
been d paper by John NJ. Zane, Of Chi
cago, on Legal Results of New Cur
rency Law Mr.. Zane showed the alb
surdty of the claim of Carl Schurz
that all that is needed is to make the
government bonds payable in gold,
for the greater part OF them, all ex-
cept SlG2,O0000O, can now be ex-
changed for gold bonds. He said the
real difficulty is with the silver
money. and that the secretary, IL any
distrust of silver should arise, must
be a man who will reoeem the legal,
tenders, exchange them into the gem
cral fund for gold, and then pay them
out again and take all the silver of
fered TO the government and not pay
It out to anyone who asked for gold.
