DAWN OF A new ERA HERE
E. H. Hartman Exceedingly Opt
mistic Regarding the Future
in This Country.

New York. Dec. 4-That the country is
already beginning to recover from the
severe shock received in the recent panic
is the opinion of e. II. Hartman. as ex-
pressed in an interview published here
today.
We are in the rebound from the de-
preston, and we are in it 20 stay" Mr.
Hartman said.
There will be no falling back. Each
step that we are taking is firm Under
meath the whole situation there is indus
trial stability. There is too much work
to be done and too great capacftv for
doing it to allow a long drawn out de-
preston. There are indications every
where that confidence is being restore !
The country is too big and the people too
sensible to allow the acts of a few men
to shake their faith in the integrity Of
our great financiers and business men
as a whole. Naturally, there was a little
scare at first. but when the people saw
that there were rotten spots only here
and there. they quickly recovered from
their fright The dawn of new era
of prosperity is here. The over strain
on cash is being relieved and credit is
once more being allowed to perform its
normal work. But we must not expect
at once to see every line of commercial
business as active as it has been during
the past two years. Perhaps it is bet
ter for the country that it should not be
so. We have a presidential campaign in
front of us. 1t is only natural that We
should feel our way cautiously for some
time When l say cautiously however
l do not mean hesitatingly, but rather

COMPLETE DEADLOCK.
Neither Side Making Any Effort to
Reach an Agreement.

CTold6eld, New, Dec. 1.-The local
miners strike is in a deadlock, with
ont either side to the controversy max
ing any effort TO bring about an agree
ment. The mine owners and the min
ers each have resolved that the other
had broken agreements. The mine own
ems charge that the miners violated
the strike agreement by striking with
out the agreed twO-thirds vote, while
the miners met today and declared
the mine owners had violated their
agreement to pay wages in gold, ig-
noring the fact that there was nothing
in the agreement on the subject. Both
sides seem TO have settled down to
long drawn out fight.
A representative of the alleged smelt-
CT combine has reached GOldfield and
has opened negotiations for the pur-
chase of the low-grade ores of the dis
trict, the offer being to take all ores
up 10 $40 per ton value, paying one
third cash therefor when smelted and
the balance in forty-five days. As
very little of low-grade is shipped
from this district, the proposition is
regarded as only a subterfuge. but as
some effort is being made TO relieve
the situation. the chamber of commerce
committee, which had arranged for
mass meetings all over the state de-
handing of congress and the president
an investigation of the smelter trust,
has called off the meetings and Will
wait further developments

SHORTEST Line POSSIBLE
Secret of the Purchase of Chicago &
Alton Road by the Glover
Leaf.

Chicago, Dec. A special to the
Journal from Springfield, ILL.,, says:
The secret of the purchase of the
Chicago & Alton railroad recently by
the Glover Leaf is believed to be re-
vealed in a plan TO construct an airline
from the intersection of the Glover
Leaf and the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton al Metcalf, Ind. to this city,
a distance of ninety-seven miles. With
such line there would be established
the shortest and most direct trans
continental line in America. At Toledo
the Clever Leaf would connect with the
Lake Shore or Nickel Plate for the
east.
From Metcalf to this city the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton has a line
1t is understood that the Alton-C Clover
Leaf people will attempt to buy this
line and reconstruct it. Failing i'm that
work will begin on new road early in
the spring.

TOWN QUIET AS USUAL.
Intervention of Troops Is Not Re-
Quired at This Time.

Goldfield New, Dec. 4.-The executive
committee of the Mine Owners Associ-
alton of Goldfield tonight received assu--
ances from Governor Sparks that he had
called upon Washington requesting that
government troops be held in readiness
for use IN the Nevada mining camps and
that garrison of regulars be established
at GOldfield. There is nothing in the
immediate situation to require the in
tervention OF troops. The town is as
quiet as usual, but il is feared by the
mine owners that trouble is brewing and
that overt acts might be committed at
snv time. The strike is at a deadlock
and the mine owners propose to keep the
mines shut down until the violent ele-
rnent OF the miners union and the law
less element generally in the camp are

Not Prepared for Long Fight.
The miners union is not prepared to
make long fight, as its treasury is de

reason the miners will force the issue

Mr.. Bryan is strictly in accord with
the president concerning postal savings

1.-THE money boarded in hiding places,
if it can be drawn into the banks and
thus be put into channels of trade, will
relieve the stringency more effectively
than anything else. The postal bank
will do this to a limited extent, but not
completely, for in the plan proposed
the depOsitOrs will be limited as to
each person, and no checking accounts

Guaranteed Banks.

THE system of the guaranteed banks
contemplates the absolute guarantee
by the government of such banks as
may voluntarily enter into the system.
On entering the system they agree 10
reimburse the government in proper
ton to their deposits for any losses in
CURED by the government in payment
of depositors in failed banks During
the last forty years the average loss
among national banks has been less
than one-sixteenth of 1 per cent of de-
posits, and. as we have passed through
two panics in that time, it is not likely
that the average will be greater during
the next forty years.
ITO sum it up, the depositors need
security, and this must either be given
by the postal savings bank, which will
grow until it has absorbed the deposit
banking of the country, or it must be
furnished through the guarantee of
existing banks

WILL RELEASE THE CASH.
One Beneficial Effect Sure to Follow
the Call

New York, Dec. 4.-The call for a
statement of the condition of the ma
tional banks was not unexpected in
financial circles here. Only four of the
five required by law had been made,
and in the course of events it was an
ticipated that the fifth and last call
could not be much longer delayed. 1t
is felt here that ii will exercise a ben
eficial effect on the situation. inasmuch
as the banks custOmarily try to pre-
pare for a call by increasing their cash
and when the call has been made this
cash is automatically released. The be-
lief also prevails that the statement re-
sulting from the call will show that
cash reserves Of the country banks are
very large and that when this fact be-
comes public ii will tend to rapidly
restore confidence among depositors
and thus hasten the resumption of cur
Tency payments.

Elasticity and Reserve Balances.

The recurrence of two phases of the cur
Tency question marked the conference.
These were: The creation of elasticity in
the currency and the disposition of re
serve balances in national banks The
committee was apparently agreed that il
VIII sanction no move to Increase the
Dulk of paper money, but will cOnfine
itself to the consideration of the best
means of injecting elasticity. The plan of
providing for the issuance of national
bank credit notes which can be instantly
drawn into circulation when general con-
ditions require an increased currency
was passed and discussed at some length
Laws Need Changing.
The view was strongly urged that the
laws should be changed so as to prevent
the absorption of reserve moneys in ma
uonal banks by banks in reserve cities
National banks are required to hold in
reserve three-fifths of their reserve capi-
tai and 1t was pointed out that under
this requirement country banks have to
send this reserve portion to the nearest
designated reserve city, whose banks il
was asserted, loan it out and in time OF
sudden emergency find themselves IN
able to respond TO the call of the coun-
try banks for return of the deposits
Several members of the committee ex-
pressed the opinion that the loaning of
reserve funds should be checked by legis-
lation.

Goldheld, New, Dec. 4.-The Miners

notice served on the organization by
the Goldfeld Mine Owners association
and the Consolidated Mines company
that the miners had abrogated all
agreements by striking without re-
ferendum vote, further than to lay the

the men contend that the operators
violated the agreement by refusing to
pay in gold. but no such provision is
made either in the January or April
agreements.
The operators evidence no desire to
reopen negotiations with the members
