GAGE, TOO, IS FOR
CURRENCY REFORM
Declares Recent Monetary Condi-
tions DisgTaoeful to the
Nation.

New York, Jan. 5.-Lyman j. Gage,
former secretary of the treasury, said
today that he agreed with Jacob Il;
Schif in the opinion that steps should
be taken to remedy the inelastic1ty OF
the currency system.
'fI agree with NJ. Schiff,'' said Mr..
Gage, s'that the monetary conditions
which have existed in this country dur
ing the last sixty days are disgraceful
to us as nation. The more promptly
and effectually this is done the better
for the United States.
In my opinion there is no immediate
danger, but the danger itself is appar-
ent, and if the country sits passive I'M
der existing conditions the country will
suffer. .1 =
Favors Shaw's Idea. ;-.- ..~-
ct see that Mr.. Schiff objects to Sec
rotary Shaw's recommendation eff an
emergency circulation Of heavily taxed
5banknotes, holding that such a plan
the legitimate interests which stand in
need at present. l may say that be-
lieve Secretary Shaw's idea an excel
lent one-with certain notifications.
With these notifications I believe his
proposition would provide cure. ln
the statement by Mr.. Schif that the
reform of currency conditions is more
important matter for the president to
take up than railroad rates. The for
mer secretary then said:
Il regard it as the highest public
duty to provide more elastic currency
without a moment IS delay. I woul1
not undertake to compare the relative
Importance Of rate regulation with cur
rency regulation at this time, but I
will say and say as emphatically as
possible, that I believe the work of Sc
curing proper legislation to relieve the
present circulation conditions is high
public duty of the presidents very
high public duty.'
Vanderlip Talks.
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president
Of the National City bank, said today
he believed Mr.. Schiff's speech had no
application to the immediate situation.
s. Had Mr.. Schiff thought,'' said Mr..
Vanderlip, "that there was any pres
ent danger he certainly would have re-
garded this as an appropriate time to
call public attention to that danger.
He is undoubtedly right in saying that
ime our illogical currency viii
cause trouble. 1t has caused trouble in
the last six weeks, but the indications
are that the trouble is about over.'

REFORM is NEEDED
But Local Banker Says Legitimate
Business Ism t Dangerously Affected.

Minneapolis bankers refuse to
"scare' over the lengthy statement
made by Jacob H. Schiff of the banking
firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New York.
Mr.. Schiff in addressing the New York
chamber Of commerce bemoaned the
lack Of elasticity of the present curren-
cy system, and predicted panic as the
ultimate result, unless some relief in the
form Of $25,000,O00 sor $30,0O0,000 is
given the money market. MIR. Schiff
recommends an additional currency
Joseph Chapman, Jr., cashier Of the
Northwestern National bank Of Mime
apolis, doubtless voices the sentiment
Of local bankers in statement he gave
( T g ur n a. l upon request today.
Every banker agrees with Mr..
Schif that there is need for currency
reform in order that our currency sys-
TEN may be more elastic,' he said,
still I don It think many bankers at
tach the Importance to the subject of
needed elasticity Mr.. Schiff does.
1t would look as if it were Mr..
9 Schiff s purpose to call attention Of the
president and congress from certain re-
forms on which they are now engaged
tions, back to the much discussed sub
ject Of currency legislation.
Gin the west and northwest we have
moved fully go per cent of an enormous
crop Of last season without any par
ticular strain. believe the people OF
( the. country generally will realize Mr.
Schiff's remarks are permeated with
Wall-streetism,' and that they will moi
be taken seriously by legitimate bust
ness interests of the country.
His plan to have currency basec
on commercial paper as an asset has
been discussed by bankers for the pas
four or five years and as general pro
position is condemned as unsafe, and al
a specie Of Wildcat currency.
Good help the people Of this countr,
when our currency is secured by any
thing other than government bonds
gold and silver bullion.''

Paris, April 26.-rhe government has re-
ceived the most positive assurance that
the labor leaders do not intend To permit

governments view is that tehre is not
the slightest danger OF serious trouble.
A government official said today: Il
have talked with a Socialist leader whose
word practically is law among the work
men, He said the demonstration OF May
] will be rigidly confined to dignihed
pacific expression In favor OF eight hours
OF labor lie was fully aware that Vio-
lence prejudices the Socialist cause. We
therefore are convinced that there will
be no disorders general or isolated. be-
cause we know that the labor party does
not want violence and because we are
ready 10 prevent disorder IL n attempted. ="
The officials of the American embassy
and consulate take similar view. Many
Americans have been making inquiries as
to the desirabilhy II leaving Paris and
the answer given was that there was NOT
the slightest danger and that the proposed
demonstration is likely TO prove hzzie.
The governments precautionary meas
ures are rapidly going on in spite oe the
more peaceful outlook. Troops are ar
riving here from surrounding towns. Two
thousand cavalry are camped i'm the Ma
