BRYAN SPEAKS
To BANKERS IN
ANNUAL Meeting
upon new CURRENCY BILL
Accorded Warm Greeting al
Richmond

Richmond, Va, Sept 1S.-Secretary
of State w. J. Bryan delivered here
today before the convention of the
American Institute of Banking
virtually his first public speech
on the currency bill just passed b.
the house of representatives. Mr..
Bryan arrived in Richmond at 1880,
began speaking at 1:12 o'clock, and
left at 2:2O for Charlottesville,
where he delivered a speech tonight.
The secretary was enthusiastically
received by the convention and with
a smiling bow plunged at once into
his extemporaneous speech:
Banks exist for the accommoda-
ton of the public, and not for the
control of business" he said; and
added that in that sentence was q
fundamental truth, and one on which
all banking legislation should be
founded. 1t was the key note of the
secretary's speech.
1--WE have had for two gener T.
tions," he continued, Legislation on
banking systems, but they have been
almost universally framed in favor
of the bankers. There can be only
one purpose in placing money III
banks; that it to get it out again
If you think otherwise, suppose yol
draw up a paper ON this subject"
He said Congressman Glass speech
on the currency bill, made before the
democratic caucus in Washington, left
little or nothing to be said on the
subject 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 distribu-
ton of the money of the country
for the decentralization of national
finances-was a step in the right di-
rection-"a step we'll in advance" he
said.
