CURRENCY REFORM
Public Duty Makes Prompt Ac.
ton Imperative.
READS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Business Men Of Country Should Be
Given Banking and Currency Sys-
tenn Which Will Make Possible
Individual Initiation.

Washington, June 2G.-The follow
Ing is President Wilson's message to
congress on the subject of currency
reform:
Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. President. Gentle
men of the Congress: 1t is under the
compulsion OF what seems to me
clear and imperative duty that have
Il second time this session sought the
privilege Of addressing you in person.
| know, of course that the heated
season of the year is upon US, that
work in these chambers and in the
committee rooms is likely to become
burden as the season lengthens, and
that every consideration of personal
comfort, perhaps, in the cases of some
of us, considerations of personal
health even, dictate an early conclu-
sion of the deliberations of the ~sSs-.
sion; but there are osSSsfons of pSaic
duty when ~ zrhinss which touch
US privab ~ EN- very small; when
the work 5 he done is so pressing and
so fraught with big consequence that
we know that we are not at liberty to
weigh against it any point of personal
sacrifice. 1t is absolutely imperative
that we should give the business men
of this country a banking and curren-
cy system by means Of which they
can make use of the freedom of enter
prise and of individual initiative
which we are about to bestow upon
them.
We are about to set them free; we
must not leave them without the tools
of action when they are free. We are
about to set them free by removing
the trammels of the protective tariff.
Ever since the Civil war they have
waited for this emancipation and for
the free opportunities it will bring
with it. 1t has been reserved for US
to give it to them. Some fell in love,
indeed with the slothful security of
their dependence upon the govern
ment; some took advantage of the
shelter of the nursery to set up a
mimic mastery of their own within
its walls. Now both the tonic and
the discipline of liberty and maturity
are to ensue. There will be some re-
adjustments of purpose and point OF
Wv Tboro will follow , nariod of

mine now whether 1t shall be rapid
and facile and of easy accomplish
