Quincy ILL.,. April 29.-President Roose-
ve1t stopped here for about forty-hve. min
utes this morning. A large crowd greeted
him and amid cheers he was driven TO the
courthouse park where he delivered a short
address. He discussed the currency and
said In substances: X -. -
5"Our currency laws have been recently
improved by specific declarations intended
to secure permanency of values. But this
Edoes not imply that these laws may not be
still further improved and strengthened.
1t is well nigh universally admitted that
our currency system is wanting in elastic-
ity; that Is, the volume does not respond
to the varying needs of the country as a
whole. nor to the varying needs Of diff
ferent localities. -. - r..
"Our people scarcely need to- be re-
minded that grain raising communities
require a. larger volume of currency at
harvest time than during the summer
months. The same principle applies to
every industry, to every community. -
"'Our currency laws need such modifca-
tion as will insure the parity Of every
dollar coined or issued by the government
and such expansion and contraction Of our
currency is will promptly and automatic
ally respond to the varying demands of
commerce. Permanent increases would
be dangerous; permanent contraction
;ruinous, but the needed elasticity must
be brought about by provisions which will
permit both contraction and extraction as
the varying needs of the several commu-
mites and interests may require"
