same rate to both camps of veterans,
Mr. Beers added, the alleged discrimi-

tion, he said:
THE Southern Passenger associa-
ton, composed of railroads east of the
Ohio river gave the same rates to the
Union veterans that they had given to
the Confederate veterans in May Of
this year, namely, one cent per mile.
The remaining associations, except
the Trunk Line association. located in
New York, and the trans-continental
lines, fixed the rate at two cents per
mile, which is. believe, higher rate
than the Grand Army has paid in some
years, Included in the associations
making the charge of two cents per
mile was the association whose roads
operate in Missouri and Kansas and
perhaps other states. which made a
rate for the Confederate Veterans re-
union of one cent per mile. The rail
made no reduction whatever in rates,
but charged the full regular fare to

the principal candidates for comm"

BANKS EXIST FOR
PUBLIC GOOD
SAYS W. J. BRYAN

Richmond, Va, Sept. 1S.-Secretary
Bryan delivered before the American
Institute Of Bankers here today his
first public speech on the currency
bill just passed by the house.
Banks exist for the accommodation
of the public and not for the control
OF business" he said, and added that
in that sentence was fundamental
truth and one which all banking legis-
lation should be founded. 1t waa the
keynote of the secretary's speech.
"We have had for two generations, ;"
he continued, Legislation on banking
systems, but they have been, almost
universally, framed in favor of the
bankers. There can be only one pur-
pose in placing money in banks-that
is to get it out again. If you think
otherwise, suppose you draw up a pa
per on this subject"
Mr.. Bryan declared that Congress-
man Glass speech on the currency
bill before the Democratic caucus left
little or nothing to be said on the sub
ject, by him or anybody else; and he
recommended it to the members of
the banking institute for reading. He
said the plan to form regional reserves
for the more equal distribution of the
money of the country-for de-centrali-
zation of national finance-was a step
in the right direction.
"It has objected that the govern
ment should not issue the money OF
the country. We hear such objections
only in times of peace. In times of
war there is no question who should
issue the money. It must be the gov
ernment. Your legislatures enact
laws whereby men shall be hanged;
and do you tell me that this govern
ment has no right to control bank ?"
Earlier in the day an attack on the
bill was made by Senator Theodore
Burton, of Ohio.
