The Currency Reform Gu utlook

(F'rom the Commercial AdvertiserD
VT is nearly three months now since
Representative Fowler, of New
II Jersey, introduced his bill for cur
rency reform into congress, and
the Republican majority in the house
have only just been persuaded to name
June . as II time for the first formal
discussion of the subject in caucus, The
active promoters Of the measure pro-
fess no encouragement over the delay,
saying that it is advisable to have a
fairly long period in which to conduct
Il campaign of education. This, so far
as 1t goes, Is very sensible view to
take. The need of certain fundamental
changes in our banking and currency
system is universally recognized, and
as a rule people are ready to admit
that 1t is better to make them now
than to wait until the times are not so
good. Yet despite all this the amount
of public interest aroused over the fate
of the Fowler bill has been remarkably
small. There has been more or less
perfunctory discussion of its details in
upshot of which Is that something
ought to be done and that the present
measure means well, whether or not 1t
would accomplish the ends desired. But
We cannot help feeling that the indif-
ferent and procrastinating policy shown
In the treatment OF the matter by con-
gress very fairly reflects the general
attitude OF the public.
Is this display of pure inertia. or
does 1t simply imply that the real
nature and significance of the proposed
changes are not clearly understood?
Probably there is good deal of truth
in both interpretations, and in addition
1t seems equally clear that the great

missionary society. Republican
