COUNTRY BANKS HOARD.
A. 3. stickney Says Many Institutions
Have Money Locked UP.


Have Money Locked Up.
st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 27.-The ghost
of Andrew Jackson and the timid
conservatism of the country bankers
are the two principal causes of the
money panic, according to President
a. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great
Western railway.
Mr.. Stickney was one of the speak,
ers last night at smoker given by
the Roosevelt Republican club of st.
Paul. He spoke at some length on
currency problems and proposed fin
ancial legislation, declaring that new
banking system is needed in America,
and all that stands in the way of d
new system is the present federal
banking law, which has not been re-
pealed because of the ghost of An
drew Jackson.
In part Mr.. Stickney said:
"The banks of the country are not
parts of whole plan connected in
such q manner as to create chain
of mutual support but they are local
and Independent institutions. In times
Of commercial crisis each must de-
pend upon itself, and it is evident that
one bank, without the cooperation OF
the other banks, cannot support enor-
nous credits of a commercial nation
like the United States; each begins to
scramble to increase it's cash reserve
at the expense of the other banks.
"Such conditions now exist among
the country banks. Each country bank
is boarding all the money it can get
hold of, which produces shortness OF
money in circulation.
."The commerce of this country de-
mands that the antiquated primary
banks now in use should be displaced
by the modern system of banks, which
can and will issue every day in the
year and every hour of the day all
the credit which commerce requires,
exercising no repressive measures to
reduce the volume of such credits ex-
cept by raising the interest rate, so
that every legitimate merchant thru
out this vast country can feel assured
that as long as he keeps his business
solvent and entitled to credit he can
obtain all the bank credits the con-
duct of his business requires by pay
ing the interest rate.
"This system has not been intro
duced into this country because COM
merce and banking are not free, and
our laws forbid it,
What stands in the way Of repeal
ing these laws?
Nothing but the ghost of Andrew
Jackson.
"No legislation whatever is required
except to repeal the provisions of the
national banking act, which prevent
banks from doing business except at
one specified Office, and which pse.

BRYAN AND DANIEL IN TILT.
Virginia Senator Takes "PeerIess One"


Washington, Nov. 27.--Senator John
w. Daniel and William Jennings
Bryan har an argumentative setto in
the Willard hotel.
The peerless leader and the Virginia
orator came face to face just outside
the ladies waiting room off the main
lobby of the Willard. They had not
seen each other for q long time, and
in the interval Senator Daniel had
criticised Mr.. Bryan publicly for his
several new "isms," particularly for
his government ownership PROPOSE
tion.
Hardly had they shaken hands when
the subject of Senator Daniels critic
ism of Mr.. Bryan came up.
81 like you personally. Mr.. Bryan"
said Senator Daniel, but do not like
your methods
ITO what do you object particu-
larly?" asked the Nebraskan.
Il object particularly, sir, to your
attempt to dictate to the democratic
party responded Senator Daniel,
promptly.
when did I ever attempt to die
tate to the democratic party?' came
from Mr.. Bryan.
'.You dictated to it in 1900, sir, when
you refused to run for president unless
free silver plank were retained in
the PLATFORM" Senator Daniel an
swered.
But you helped to draft the free
silver platform in 1896, and were in
favor of it," said Mr.. Bryan.
"You are mistaken, sir" retorted
Senator Daniel to Mr.. Bryan's last re-
mark. Il was temporary chairman of
the go convention, and it is true was
a member of the committee on resolu
tions which drafted the platform. But
/ opposed silver plank in committee.
l regarded it as fatal to the party's
prospects, and said So"
MIR. Bryan disclaimed any intention
of dictation to his party, but Senator
Daniel stuck to his point and then
threw this hot shot: "Mr. Bryan, it
is time you quit taking your cue from
the independence league and defer a
little to the democratic party"
Bryan flushed under the thrust of
Senator Daniel. There was an angry
note in his voice as he came back
sharply: 'It is time to stop this dis
cussion when you tell me where I
shall get my cue"
Mr.. Bryan turned on his heel and
walked away. Senator Daniel walked
away also, shaking his head vigor-
ously.
