Treasurer Roberts Talks to an Association of Bankers
ROCK BOTTOM OF GOLD
OF Which the Country Is so Firmly Established It Should Be Content to Stand-The Danger of an !nfla- tion of Credit.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 25.-Ellis H. Roberts treasurer of the United States who is attending the joint convention of the Maryland and District of Col umbia Bankers association which is being held on board a steamboat on the Potomac river tonight delivered an address before that convention in which he said: '.The national bank notes contsitute less than one-sixth of our stock of money, and no legisla- ton can change that ratio very ma terially Gold. on the other hand. furnishes hard on to one-half of our stock, aud it grew nearly sl2.O00, ,00O last month.
 Let us be content to stand on the rock bottom Of gold. The gold there is today is the largest sum ever recorded, our treasury holds three and nine tenth times the amount of gold be- longing to the Bank of England; it is more than three and eight-tenths times that of the Imperial German bank. or very nearly three times that of the Aus stra-Hungarian bank; it lacks only SS,0C0.G00 of being equal to that of both the banks of England and of France, and it exceeds the amount of Russia. Germany, Belgium and Netherlands combined.
 This is not the whole case The foreign treasuries are practically the sole basis of the finances of the re spective nations. On the holdings of the Bank of England rests the credit. public and private of the British en- vii. I !, national treasury the banks, national and others, own $322. .40S,571 and this is more than any central institution holds save those of France and Russia.
 Certain tinid souls look on our real money as a Samson whose lock at some time may be shorn by a Phillis- tine Delilah and it's strength clipped away. Now this Delilah takes the form of rush to the treasury of the United States notes. Again she appears in the garb of q secretary of the treasury using silver for official payments and finally she becomes congress indulging in wild legislation. If mathematics is good for anything it proves that green backs cannot be procured in volume enough to be more than 3 spray beat ing on Gilbralter. Every secretary will find that silver is less within his con- trol for actual use than gold is: he carrot make silver urrency for large payments. As for congress it's power is vast, but with an inflow of $50 000, ,000 year of gold into the treasury no act of legislation can stop the majestic force.
 But thera is credit based on our gold and it is possible to infiate and ex- ploit it to a dangerous degree. Re cent chronicles are not without illus tration. The process of rapidity and extent of imitation presents the real problem of the situation. Wisdom cries aloud, and will be heard sooner or later and better soon than late for i; is not safe to lift credit so mountain high that flying machines will be need ed to operate in it's thin atmosphere In the meanwhile. and I believe for 3 long time. the nations prosperity rests on a steadfast foundation"
