WEAKNESS AND REMEDY.
Ex-Sec. Shaw Talks to Connecticut
Banks on Financial System.

Hartford, Conn, June 4.-Former
| Secretary Of the Treasurer Leslie M.
Shaw was the guest of honor here to-
| day at the eighth annual meeting or
| the Connecticut State Banking Asso-
| citation and was the chief speaker this
| afternoon at the gathering of the cap
| tains OF finance at the Golf Club. He
| characterized as a paramount weak
hess of the financial system the i'm
mobility of our credits and explained
how Congress could remedy the situa-
| ton. Mr.. Shaw in the course of his
remarks said:
"Our financial system is by no means
perfect 1t is good, but it ought to be
better. Paramount among it's weak
nesses, in M judgment is the immobil-
! ity of our credits. Our manufacturers
and iobbers possess not only millions
but billions on credits which should be
available. The only credits which we
now employ are bonds and mortgages,
bills receivable, sight drafts and
checks. Money due for goods actual
| ly delivered is immObile and well nigh
unusable. An accepted bill Of exchange
drawn against actual value in the reg
ular course of business, falling due in
80 days is the best paper bank can
have, and these evidences Of debt
should be rs current as similar evil
dences Of debts payable at sight.
"If Congress would remove the re-
quiremcnt of reporting the contingent
liability incident to the endorsement Of
domestic bill of exchange drawn
against actual value in the regular
course Of business as a re-diScount,
wonders would be accomplished. This
would enable the wholesale merchant
to use acceptance, and if he could use
them. he could give his customer better
terms and gradually the system com
mon in other countries would be adopt
ed with us and we would thus have
current credit if not a credit currency,
as elastic as business itself.
There would remain, however, one
great weakness. In the countries where
this class of credits are current. the
large si-government central banks
accent them and issue currency in their
stead, usually taxed at high rate.
Our national banks should be permitted
to accept these credits when excessive
and issue currency against them. but
to avoid imitation this currency should
De taxed not less than I per cent.
"These two notifications of the ma
tional banking act, in my judgment.
would remove all possible danger of
currency famine and prevent, as far as
it is possible to prevent by legislation,
financial panics.
There is q great difference between
a panic and 4 period of industrial dc
preston. 4 cry of fire will sometimes
cause panic in a crowded building,
though buildings sometimes burn with
out causing any panic. 1t may be I'M
possible to insure against Il loss by fire.
but we ought to possess such safe
guards as to remove the cause Of sud-
den alarm. We will naturally and ineV-
itably have recurring periods Of de-
preston, but we ought to protect our
solves from panics."

ANSWERS EVERY CALL
Augusta People Have Found That
This is True.

A cold, strain. sudden wrench,
a little cause may hurt the kidneys.
Spells Of backache often follow,
Or some irregularity Of the urine.
A certain remedy for such attacks,
\ medicine that answers every call,
Is Doan's Kidney Pills, a true
specific.
Many Augusta people rely on it.
Here is Augusta proof.
Mrs j. +. Cousins, of 16 Page St,
Augusta. Me. says: Our appreciation
of Doans Kidney Pills increases as we
learn more and more their great value.
My husband procured the remedy in
the spring of 1898 at Chas. X.
Partridgcs drug store, now Willis X.
Partridge and they cured him of
severe backache and other ailments
arising from imperfect action of his
kidneys. His rest had been mucn
broken at night because of the trouble.
We know of a number of others here
In Augusta who have used DOan's
Kidney Pills and in each and every
case the results have been satisfactory
have on numerous occasions heard
people praise Doan's Kidney Pills and
during the several years since we first
learned their merits our faith has
constantly increased regarding their
value and effectiveness"
