solution of this problem. When the
Nreelnnd- Aldrich bill was passed five
years ago, the Republican party in
Congress solemnly pledged itself to
speedily replace that temporary eXpc-
dent with IL permanent and compre-
hensive statute, while one or the latest
public expressions OF the last Repub
lican President was upon the necessity
OF banking and currency reform. sir
TAFT declared that: 1t Is more Import
ant than the tariff. more important
than conservation, more important
than the question OF trusts, and more
important than any political lcgisla-
ton that hns been presented
The last national platform OF tho
Democratic pnrty committed us TO n
systematic revision of the banking laws
OF the country. and the Democratic
President OF the United States who
was elected on that platform appeared
at the Speakers desk OF this House
more than two months ago and urged
Congress not to walt until the demands
of the country shall have become re-
proachcs.
Presidcnt's Recommendation.
THE President recommended the
lines upon which we should proceed.
saying:
We must have a currency. not rigid
as now, but readily. elasticaily re-
sponsive to sound credit, the expanding
and contracting credits Of every day
transactions the normal ebb and flow
of personal and corporate dealings.
our banking laws must mobilize re-
serves; must not permit the concentra-
ton anywhere in u few hands OF the
monetary resources Of the country or
their use for speculative purposes In
such volume as to hinder or impede
or stand In the way OF the other more
legitimate. more fruitful uses And the
~ 90 lNa IL t,1fr
OF issue which our new laws are to set
UP must be public, not private. must
be vested In the government Itself, so
that the banks may be the instru-
ments. not the masters. of business and
Of individual enterprise and Initiative
Il will not weary members with an
explanation now OF the minor details
OF this measure: these are fully set
out In the printed report which accom-
panies the bill. We have made provi-
sion for foreign banking. designed to
extend our foreign trade by furnish
ing quicker exchanges and anording
infinitely better banking facilities In
that field of enterprise. We have In
corporated In the bill n savings-de-
pnrtment clause, which will enable the
national banks OF the country to do
business of this nature under authority
OF the statute rather than in disregard
of the law. We have provided II more
effective and less expensive method OF
domestic exchange and collection and
also a system of examination and pub
| licity which better safeguard the bank
| ing operations of the country"
! When Mr.. Glass concluded his
| speech he received generous applause
from all parts OF the House chamber.
| and many members crowded around
and offered congratulations on the ex
| cellcnt presentation OF this very com
| pick subject. Mr.. Glass handled the
matter exceedingly well. and convinced
those who heard him that he was well
| versed in the intricacies OF the bank
ing and currency question.

tive antagonism to everything we adj
vocated. no matter how humane"
Aims of A. r. of l..
At the outset of his testimony, Mr..
Gompers was asked to state the aims
OF the American Federation of Labor.
1T aims" he said, TO relieve the
working people from burdensomc long
hours of toll to protect them in their
work, protect their lives and health
to improve their matctiaI, moral, social
and political standing; to bring about
a better condition for the toilers of oar
country as n reward for services they
render to society,"
Tracing the history OF Legislation for
the benefit OF labor, MIR Gompcrs
claimed credit on behalf of the Fedora
ton tor the work OF Legislative COM
mittecs In Washington and in many
states of the Union, asserting that all
labor legislation constantly was being
urged upon Legislative bodies through
argument by representatives of the
working people.
Not Always Anti-Union.
The witness said the American Manu-
facturers' Association had not always
been an antiunion or antilaOor organi-
cation.
LAS matter of fact" he said. the
National Association Of manufacturers
was not an antilabor organization un-
til Mr. u. NJ. parry's declaration in
1903 To the convention of that assoc
citation at New Orleans.
MIR. Parry, as president. had his
report printed. 1t was n virulent at
tack on all organized labor. That re-
port he never read to the convention
ut New Orleans. From that time the
association became antilabor and anti
union"
A. F.. OF l.. to X. of l..
Representative Willis asked Mr..
Gonpers what relation the American
Federation Of Labor bore to the
knights Of Labor.
The relation" Mr.. Gompers replied,
between a living human organism and
q corpse"
Mr. Gompers was called to the stand
at the conclusion OF the examination
OF James A. Emery, counsel for the
Council for Industrial Defense OF the

ana Currency Committee. day held tho
attention OF his colleagues for several
hours. He touched on almost every
phase OF tho currency question. re-
viewed past efforts at reforming the
monetary laws. and made an impas-
stoned and eloquent plea for the en-
actment OF the bill now under con-
slderntion. Pleading for the I'm
mediate enactment of this measure and
declaring that tho last national Dom
ocrattc platform had committed us to
IA systematic revision OF the bank
ing laws OF the country" Mr.. Glass
said In part:
For more than a quarter Of a CEN
Jury thcro havo been strong symptoms
of nm Intense dissatisfaction with the
prevailing national banking and cur
rcncy system: and this spirit OF dis
content has been accumulated AZ, from
time to time, the utter inadeQuacy OF
the system has been made manifest In
periods of financial peril. While the
existing system has operated satisfac-
torily under ordinary business condi-
tons, and while the administration of
the system for the nfty years OF It's
history furnishes a high tribute to the
integrity and efficiency OF those con-
Nti H'u III us opcEtllol anu L.
Its very best friend is bound to admit
that. in time OF stress and storm II has
broken down utterly.
This has occurred so often and the
ensuing disaster has been so dreadful
as to cause the banking experts of
other nations and practical fnanciers
everywhcrc to marvel ut our continued
failure either to adopt a better system
or correct the evils OF the one we
have. Financial textbook writer's OF
Europe have characterized our Ameri-
can system as 'barbarous.' and eminent
bankers of this country who. from time
to time. have appeared before the Bank
ing and Currency Committee OF the
House, have not hcsitated TO confess
that this bitter criticism is mcrited.
While we may boast that no note holder
has ever lost n dollar. and that the
losses OF depositors constitute an in
considerable percentage OF the total
liabilities of the banks, nevertheless the
failure OF the system In acute exigen-
cies has caused widespread business
Generalization and almost universal

Cnta.trophc. Under syatcm.


Five times within the last thirty
years financial catastrophe has over
taken the country under this system:
and 1t would be difficult to compute the
enormous losses sustained by all classes
Of society-by the banks Immediately
involved; by the merchants whose
credits were curtailed: by the Indus
tries whose shops were closed: by the
railroads whose cars were stopped; By
the farmers whose crops rottcd In the
fields: by the laborer who was deprived
of his wage. The system literally has
no reserve force.
The currency based upon the Ma
TONS debt is absolutely unresponsivc
to the Nations business needs. Tho
lack of cooperation and CO. ordination
among the more than 1900 national
banks produces a curtailmcnt OF facili-
ties at all periods o. exceptional de-
mand for credit. This peculiar defect
renders disaster inevitable.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-09-11


II venture to express the sincere
hope that the House will not delay the
enactment OF this bill. The chief and
everlasting curse OF attempted bank
ing and currency legislation In this
country has been tho proneness OF
public men to procrastinutc. When
the Vrecland-Aldrich makeshift was
adopted, cxSccretary Lyman ]. Gage
warned the committee and Congress
that The bill was merely a dangerous
narcotic TO lull the nation to sleep,
from which slumber IT would some
day awaken In agony Remembering
that financial panics in the United
States arc deccnnial and that we arc
fast approaching the time limit. from
1907 to 1917. ii seems to me that the
obligation to lcGislate is Immediate.
We should no longer. from habit or
timidity. gravcly shake our heads and
insist that we will not be hurried in
this matter: that we want further
time for consideration; that we must
| have other hearings and additional
information. Sometimes am brought
to wonder what sort OF Information IS
wanted by the public men who eternal
ly plead for delay. There is no theme
on earth upon which information may
more readily be obtained than upon
| the currency question.
There is no topic upon which we
! have more authoritative expert eX-
| preston. and there arc few subjects
upon the general principles OF which
| expert opinions are In greater accord.
| If il did no other good. the Monetary
| Commission. Mt a cost Of approximate
| ~ $4,000, assembled a great library
| on the subject OF banking and currency
reform. which for two years has been
| accessible to every member OF Con-
! gress. Less than six months ago tho
| Banking and Currency Committee OF
| the House closed exhaustive hearings
on the subject, at which the best select
ed representa- of every known ma
tional group tcstiied-big bankers and
little bankers. merchants and farmers,
| credit men and manufacturers, cur
rency experts. laboring men and text
book writer's And there is scarcely
n provision OF this pending currency
bill which may not be related to these
hearings They took the widest range
and reflected every conceivable variety
Of opinion: and there is absolutely no
excuse for further delay.
