STATEMENT BY THE MINT DIRECTOR, The Hoase Caucas Committee oa Carrency Reform to Begin Work Monday—New York Banks Based on Against aing Notes Cirealation —¢ Hrooke’s Pian of Credit Exteasions aba Wash I re t of the E s SiON is misieac g fa t tends show that there has > any se 28 consideration by the American cabinet of the question of tional moneta ratio for the ver. There is the for the statement that there no serious consideration of the jues tion by the cabinet since the fail of the last monetary conference, and that it is highly improbable j that the United States, under the present administration, w take an initiative for the calling of another. It can be said op the same authority, | however, that the United States will accept any invitation that may be is- sued by any other nation for sucha conference, and that the present ad- ministration would be inclined to go as far in increasing the use of silver as other lea g commercial nations might be willing to go. George F. Roberts, director of the mint, whose official position gives such significance to what he says, said to- day that he was formerly an advocate of an international agreement, but that in view of the great change in the situation, due to increased gold production, he did not believe that such an agreement was now possible, because there was no longer necessity for it and it would be inpossible to in- terest people init. “The increase in gold production,” he said, ‘is almost inconceivable. Ihave made a calcu- lation based on the most reliable data obtainable, which shows that by the year 1900 the annual production of gold alone in the world will equal the production of gold and silver combined in 1896.” To Work on @ Currency Bill. wril 11 The caucus committee on currency reform will begin meeting at Atlantic City Monday, in an effort to frame a bill embodying reforms in currency and banking systems. In this connec- tion information has come from Wash- ington that the leading New York bankers will oppose the scheme which has been suggested of amending the banking laws so as to permit banks to issue cire 2n upon assets not now included in their authority. It has been supposed that this plan was the hobby of the banks. It may be of a majority of small banks throughout the country, but it is now said that New York financiers oppose the proposition. It is well understood by the committee that the reason of the opposition is that the New York banks, by reason of their large depos- its, do not have to issue notes in order to make loans, and that they desire to deprive the country banks of the op- portunity of sodoing. New York has no representative on the caucus com- mittee, but her importance as the mon- etary center will undoubtedly receive due consideration. Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional campaign committee, who is also a member of the caucus committee, is now in Washington. He says he thinks the committee will make up a bill, although he does not venture to forecast its character. The general belief is that the leading fea- ture of the bill will be the enactment of the president’s recommendations relating to the greenbacks and the breaking of the endless chain raids on the gold reserve. Credit Extensions in Cuba. Washington, April :i—The princi- pal subject of discussion at to-day’s cabinet meeting was an elaborate plan of credit extensions in Cuba which has been presented by Gen. Brooke and his cabinet council, but reached no con- clusion. The $20,000,000 to be paid Spain according to the peace treaty will be by draft on New York. Washington, A house its Kansas Debaters Win.
