HOW sCHIFF WOULD DO

cism OF the Methods Of Secre-
tarY Shaw.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-The reasons for
the present furry in money rates in
Wall street and the remedies for such
q state Of affairs were explained to
the members of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association at their annual ban
quet here by Jacob II. Schiff, the New
York banker. Schiff spoke on the sub
Ject: Currency and Other Reforms"
and declared that the overnight an
nouncements of relief the secretary Of
the treasury IS in the habit Of making
are neither good finance nor fruitful of
good results to the material interests
Of the country"
The announcements from Washing
ton. according to Schlff, are the conse-
Quence of undesirable methods. for
which existing laws are responsible.
The remedy, the speaker said, for the
evil is the providing by law that the
revenues OF the government shall be
deposited with national banks in pro
portion to their capital. upon security
acceptable to the secretary. of the treas
ury upon the payment of a uniform
rate of interest, the same to be deter
mined by the secretary.
