10 IMPROVE OUR
MONETARY SYSTEM

INDIANAPOLIS undl. December g.
What further steps should be- taken
at this timv Tot The hpitermeut of our
monetary system Mr. Hugh a. ian.
va was asked today.
Mt Hanna was chairman Of the
executive committee OF fifteen created
by the National Monetary conference
held at Indianapolis In 1897. and ever
since he has been active In pressing
the demands Of financial reformers.
First he replied Our gold stand
ard law of 1900 should be strengthened
by machinery for maintaining parity
between gold and silver. The public
mind Is prepared for as perfect a gold
standard as can be established. \ law
providing for the payment OF gold for
silver at the treasury on demand is the
one remaining step necessary to secure
absolute parity of all our moneys.
Both the overstreet bill and the Hin
bill, introduced in the last session.
make full and wise provision.
Second, an element of elasticity in
our National Bank currency should be-
provided. \ small step. equal in

say 80 per cent of the amount of the
capital. with full and unquestioned
provision for the redemption of notes

Lowering and other bills, Is the other
step Immediately necessary.
The general subject appears complex
and our people are, therefore disinclin-
to study it. The principles are simple

only the absolute assurance of par
ity will make New York bill of ex-
change as acceptable in the commerce
of the world as a bill of exchange on
London.
Assured parity of the metallic cur
rencies, and scientific provision for
elastic bank currency without risk of
redemption, will not only strengthen
the fibre of our domestic commercial
interests. but will do more to make
possible the sale of products of Amer
lean labor than any other one act Of
legislation.
THAT the President, Secretary of
the Treasury and Comptroller of the
Currency should all so courageously at
this time advocate such legislation in
dicates the growth of public opinion
favorable to laws in the interest Of all
of our people, without preference, the
importance of which should arouse the
business men of the country to the

Corn and potatoes are the principal

corn on the same land for so long

What the United States and Russia
need now and must have" continued
Mr.. Emery, lis a new commercial
treaty. Two countries each of which
has the warmest and friendliest feeling
for the other have not time to biCker
over sugar, oil or anything else. There
is country that needs our machinery,
our products of every sort. The people
want ii from US rather than from any
other country of the world, and we
should arrange 1t so that we could sup

treaty and get into Russia on the
ground floor, and the control of the
trade of an empire of 10000, 600 people
and soon to be the wealthiest country
in the world, will be ours.
There is no doubt of Russia's at
