work for such an organization in this

beautiful. and If they would organize
and give the community the hcnest OF

would confer .. great public benefit.
However, there is much that the city

Tho currency question IS still pressing
itself upon the attention Of Congress.

for this money has been taken from the
channels OF trade, where it is sorely need

The Secretary Of the Treasury has been
compelled TO resort 10 all sorts of devices
anticipating interest on bonds, and buy

all that. But Mr.. Gage recently iatinlated
that bonds were becoming. comparatively
speaking. so scarce that relief from that
source could not be depended upon,
little while hence.
Again. The volume Of bank notes out
standing has been decreased as rapidly
% the law permits. Under the national
bank act The maximum rate of decrease
IS $S.9J0,05a per month, but VIC arc told
that this limit for December and Janu-
airy has been reached, while further APP
piicatior3 for moro than another month
in advai re have been filed. AT this
rate" spys the New York Evening
Post "a large part of the decrease in
bunk circulation under tho law of Marcn

And still The Treasury surplus piles up.

c3rcncy? The situation must be dis
leasing indeed when Congressman Sui

posit money in the banks Of the 'linan-
Gal centres without requiring Govern

of expcdients TO put this money back
into trade when needed.
But even This is a. temporary make
shift The people of the country should
not nave TO depend upon the Government
for currency. Senator Plat, of New
York, has offered the only remedy, the
only solution OF the problem. lie has in

iseIIe notes and IT Sllch a bill is PASSED
The problem will soon disappear and the
relief will be sure. This country is
rich, and has an abundance of bankablo
assets; all that is required is that the
Government permit the banks in this
locality and that to issue currency
against their assets. That is the plan
Which Tho Times has been advocating
