Chicago. Oct. 27.-While politics Ia
by rule excluded from the meetings
of the Illinois Bankers association, yet
the one paramount" theme of discus
sion at the convention held here IL
the prosperity Of the United States,
the politics that have caused 1t, and
the disaster to the country that would
follow the election Of president
pledged to the silver standard. The
opening address of President Harris,
said:
III We inquire for the causes that
have produced such great and favor
able changes In the business world
withip 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 feel
Ing of security In the business world
resulting from wise legislation for the
establishment of . single, well de-
fined standard Of values recognized
as just and safe by all the leading ma
tons Of the earth.
But We are not yet secure. believe
that y r~esidor+ IF thn I7r'tNd St. L.,
who Is deeply devoted to the silver
standard Idea could force this country
to a silver basis by the aid Of secre-
tary of the treasury Of similar no.
tions, and could do this In spite Of
the act by which we suppose the gold
standard to be established"
The feature Of the convention has
been paper by John NJ. Zane of Chi
cago on Legal Results Of New Cur
rency Law" Mr.. Zane showed the
absurdity 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 except
$162, 100000, can now be exchanged
for gold bonds. He said the real diff
Guilty Is with the silver money, and
that the secretary. II any distrust Of
silver should arise, must be man
who will redeem the legal tenders, ex-
change them into the general fund for
gold. and then pay them out again
and take all the silver offered to the
government and not pay it out to any
one who asked for gold. If he werc
not such man financial crash would
come without any act on the part of
the administration and the $580,OOO,-
900 of deprecated silver would drive
all other money out Of circulation.

their aggregate value Is 81, 707, 057 500.
The same crops last year were worth
crops alone the farmers received to-
tai of SCAT ,C34 1920 more than In 1899
and that was admittedly one Of the
most prosperous years ever known by
the producers of the United States.
The live stock statement Is equally
gratifying. Swine are not included in
available, but the total value Of the
