That Reform the Currency.

Jacob Schiff and ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Lyman Gage are out with
warnings that unless our currency sys-
tenn be revised for the better great
panic will wrack The country. If they
can thus impress the administration
and congress they will do a public ser
vice. Such panic as they predict
would probably terminate the suprem-
acy of the republicans. and if the re-
publicans can be made to see the dam
ger of it they viii try TO. prevent it by
making the necessary currency revi-
sion
The party came into power as long
ago as 1897 on the pledge 10 make this
revision. but they have been faithless

the country have failed in impelling
them TO do they might be moved 10 do
