WASHINGTON, Dec 23.-Speake
Clark. after the signing OF the bill b,
the president, issued a statement as fol
lows:
Most asswedly the country is to
be congra tulated on the fact that at
last the currency bill Is on the stat
OF great pith and moment. !t Is the
bill might be the sum total Of hu-
man wisdom on any particular sub
1ect- Now. all men OF Intelligence
rency bill contains and what Ii means
and can conduct their affairs accord
inely.
My own judgment is that IL will be
satisfactory to the country in IL high
degree-at least / hope so. The fact
that a large number OF Republicans
and ProgreSsiyes voted for our bill
is proof positive that the country is
well pleased with the bill.
So many OF them so voted that it
may not improperly be denominated
"a non-partisan currency law We
certainly have ample cause Tor self
consra tulation that in nine months
we have passed a bill revising ali
the tariff schedules and a bill thor
oughly revising and overhauljng our
currency system.
ODr two bills are excellent samples
OF constructive legislation. The tar
iff bill is working we'll and. now that
the uncertainty as TO the currency
bill is removed. | hope and believe
that the country is entering on a long
period of prosperity.

Enthusiastic.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 23.-Feeble ef'
forts have been made to arrange holi-
day festivities in Mexico City this
year.
Governor Corona Of the federal dis
trict has enlisted few of the city IS
fashionable women to assist him in
holding a kermcss IN one of the public
parks, but even this show of holiday
spirit is half apologetic, it being an
nounced that the proceeds are to go
toward buying clothing for the poor.
Merchants in Mexico annually dress
their windows and stores to attract the
gift-buying public, but unlike the stores
in the United States, the rush is not
over until one week later. Only few
Mexicans buy presents and distribute
them on Christmas but all OF them
want to give tokens Of their love and
friendship on New Years day.
This year the merchants have made
little effort to capture the holiday
money. Sentiment has dulled the buy
ing spirit and war has drained the
money bags. AS people the MeNcans
are impoverished. Merchants who had
placed orders early in the year with
European toy houses have generally
cancelled them because Of the increased
duty on all importations. Such shop
windows as are decorated with holiday
goods this year contain only the left
over goods of year ago,

the passing Of the national bank act
which came in two pieces, as you
know. in February OF 1868 and In
June Of 1854: it is just fifty years
ago since that measure suitable for
that time was passed, and It has
taken us more than a generation and
a half to come to an understanding as
to the readjustments which were
necessary for our own time. But We
have reached those readjustments. I
