 CURRENCY ISSUE
CONGRESSMAN HINTS AT PLANK TO BE INSERTED IN REPUBLIC AN PLATFORM AT CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Washington, February 1S.-The feel the House was indicated in these dis patches yesterday that the currency bill which may be passed this session of Congress will be in large measure determinative of the financial attitude to be assumed by the republican party in Chicago next June, was given em- phasis today by Chairman Fowler of currency.
 "The campaign of 1S96," he said, twas fought out upon a single issue the establishment of the gold standard. which means absolutely nothing ex- cept so far as it's value related to credits. The issue of the campaign of 1908 should be the application of the theoretical victory of 1896.
 "The people of the United States should now demand that the reserves in our banks be in gold coin and suf- ficient in quantity to prove our credits and protect all depositors. Every cred itor of a bank sh ould have the option of having his credit upon the books

 Beneficiaries to whom checks had been drawn, but who failed to cash them promptly, appeared at the company's of fees, but the appointment of receivers makes it impossible for them to cash their checks now. Policyholders in the company for years came to inquire what the beneficiaries might expect when they had crossed the great divide. When they were told the condition of affairs their grief was touching. Employees of the com pany were paid off and discharged, some of them white haired men who had been with the company for years.
