MONEY SYSTEM REFORMS
Some Of the Measures That Are
Urged by Hugh H. Hanna u
of Indiana. =,

indianapolis, Dec. 6-''What further
steps should be taken at this time Tor
the betterment Of our monetary SYSTEM"
Hugh H. Hanna, chairman of the execu
tive committee of fifteen created by the
National Monetary conference, held at
indianapolis in 1897 and who ever since
has been active in pressing the de-
mands of financial reforms on the presi-
dent and congress, was asked to-day.
First" he replied, "our gold standard
Of 1900 should be strengthened by ma
chinery for maintaining parity between
gold and silver. The public mind IS pre-
pared for as perfect a gold standard as can
be established. "A law providing for the
payment of gold for silver at the treasury
essary to secure absolute parity of all our
moneys. Both the Ovcrstreet bill and the
Hill bill introduced in the last session
make full and wise provision.
Second, an element OF elasticity in our
national bank currency should be pro-
vided. A small step, equal in amount to
say 10 per cent Of the capital Of the bank,
is sufficient for demonstration of etft-
cheney and safety.
IF its desirability is proved, gradual in
crease within term Of years to say 30 per
cent of the amount Of the capital with
full and unquestioned provision for the re-
demption Of notes Of insolvent banks as
afforded in the Lowering and other bills is
the other step Immediately necessary.
THE general subject appears complex
and our people are therefore disinclfned
to study it. The principles are simple.
The humblest citizen is interested In the
perfection Of money laws. =
"Only the absolute assurance Of parity
will make New York bill Of exchange as
acceptable in the commerce OF the world
as a bill of exchange on London.
Assured parity of the metallic cur
rency. without risk of redemption, will
not only strengthen the fibre Of our do
mestic commercial interests but will do
more to make possible the sale of products
of American labor than any other one act
of legislation. ,.. ., -. -. e..
THAT the president. secretary Of the
treasury and the comptroller Of the cur
rency should all so courageously at this
time advocate such legislation indicates
the growth of public opinion favorable to
laws in the interest of all our people with
out preference the Importance Of which,
should arouse the business men Of the
country to determined, timely support OF
the effort being made to secure congress

strike commission began it's session to-
day a 12-year-old breaker boy, employed

WHY SOME MEN SUCCEED
One Very Simple Reason for Their Gains

One Very Simple Reason for Their Gains
Mans success in life depends largely
upon his ability to learn things and to put
what he knows into practice. One man
may learn only a little, but it is the little
he needs, and he learns it we'll. With APP
plication that man is apt to succeed. An
other man may gain a smattering Of
several things. but not one Of which Is of
real use to him, because he does not know
no VITO apply it. His chances for success
are slim. va
To learn the right thing and to learn it
at once is the crying need Of our modern
day. And this fact goes far toward ex-
planning the wonderful popularity Of a
great reference work like the 'Encyclo-
paedia Britannica And invariably you
will find that men and women who con-
suit 1T are the progressive, alert people
who are most apt to succeed.
The Encyclopedias Britannica has
been called a complete home university
because of it's wide range of learning.
In it's $4,000 large pages may be found
every topic that man needs to know
Here he may study. chemistry. astronomy
iron working, carpentry-and any trade
or profession. Here he may read history
or geography, and keep in touch with the

THE SITUATION IS SERIOUS
The Coal Supply in Chicago Short
Prices Jump Suddenly in New
York at the Cold Spell.
Special to The Journal.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-Chicago is confronted
with a serious coal situation in spite of
the temporary settlement of the strike in
the anthracite region, and it is feared that
the first cold spell will cause considera BILE
inconvenience and possible suffering to
thousands of people. While it has been
several weeks since the first shipment of
hard coal after the close of the strike was
received here, local dealers estimate that
the supply is 100000 tons short, with
practically no cold weather up to this
time to increase the demand for fuel.
There is no prospect, she dealers say.
for the supply to be increased during the
winter. The daily receipts, in past sea-
sons nearly large enough to meet the de-
mand without drawing on the reserve stock.
are SO small this winter they are hardly
considered a factor.
Strangely enough. the price Of hard coal
is much lower than it was during the
progress OF the strike, when at one time it
reached SIS ton. While there is no fixed
price at present it ranges from SO to 50.
depending On the amount Of coal the deal
err has on hand and his eagerness to sell it.

more acute than at any other time during
the coal strike or since it ended. The re-

Dealers who were asked about this said
that on account OF the increased demand
they had to buy from spectators and in

somehow to secure coal and had taken adj
