tlonal banks against loss by reason
of the failure of such banks, he said
it was not intended TO nave the gov
ernment collect fund for this pur-
pose but it would be the duty of the
government to make an assessment
on all the banks to meet losses by rea-
son Of failures. This assessment, he
said. would be of intestimable bene-
fit. He felt enthusiastic over the
prospect of the ultimate success of
this plan
Bryan said It was evident that no
tariff revision could be hoped for
from the coming Congress. He fay.
ored the removal of the tariff on all
