FOR SOUND CURRENCY.

The National Citizens league for the promo
ton of a sound currency system has just issued
a report of It's work for the year 1912, and OF
the prospects for remedial banking legislation
The league, with ten thousand members and
branches In forty-four States has contributed
largely toward lifting the issue of banking re-
form from ohscurity to a position in the pub
lie eye second only to that of tariff reform.
The report does not endorse the Aldrich cur
rency bill, calling that plan only milestone
on the road to scientific banking system
The report considers the attitude or President.
Elect Wilson as encouraging as it does the pros
poets for the early passage of a sound cur
rency bill,

up the cul- de-sac, even though the opening may
lead representative government over preci-
pice into pure socialism paternalism."
Democrats will have it in their power to cor
