Every train brings in fresh contin-
gents, and already the capacity Of the
hotels Is being taxed TO the utmost
bounds. But in the railroad station
sslk-hatted committeeman of politics
and commerce hustle busily about, and
somehow the city seems TO swallow up
the vast hourly additions to its popu-
lation without any severe effort.
II Is calculated that already 10000
strangers are here. It is holiday
crowd pure and simple, and all are bent
on remaining thruout the week. The
exposi ton committees by their admira-
BE arrangement of private house apart
meylt information, have prevented any
severe crowaing except in the principa!
hotels In tho downtow part of the city.
Speaks for Elastic Currency.
Quincy, H.. April 29,-President
Roosevelt stopped here for forty five
minutes this morning. A large crowd
was on hand to greet him and amid
cheers he was driven to the court house
park, wher, he delivered a short ad-
dress. He discussed the question Of
currency reform.
He said La substance: "Our currency
laws have been recently improved by
specific declara tons intended to secure
permanency to values. But this does
not imply that the laws may not be still
further improved and strengthened. It
is well nigh universally admitted that
our currency system Is wanting in elias
ITCHY; that is, the volume does not re-
spond to the varying needs of the coun-
try as a whole nor to the varying needs
Of different localities Our people
scarcely need be reminded that grain
raising communities require a larger
volume Of currency at the harvest time
than during. the summer months The
same principle applies to every indus
try and to every community. Our cur
rency laws need such modification as
will insure the parity Of every dollar
coined or issued by the government,
and such expansion and contraction OF
our currency as will promptly and au-
Dramatically respond to the varying de-
rrards of commerce. Permanent in-s
creases would be dangerous; permanent
contraction ruinous. but needed elastic
ify must be brought about by proyis-
ions which will permit both contraction
and expansion as the varying needs of
several communities and business in
terests may require"
