Hanna Outlines Its Purpose. ——_+—__— CONSULTING IN PRIVATE —-+ The monetary commission held its first meeting this afterncon at the Arlington Hetel, commencing thereby a_ series of sessions that will probably continue during the fall and until Congr meets. The commission will occupy parlor 206, a large apartmert on the second floor, and meet- ings will probably be held daily. The commission was appointed by au- therity of the monciary convention, held in Indianapolis last January. The per- sonnel of the commission consists of ex- Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, Charles 8. Fairchild of New York, C. Stew. art Paiterson of Philadelphia, John Ww. Fries of North Carolina, Thomas G. Bush of Alabama, George E. Leighton of St. Louis, William B. Dean of St. Paul, Pro- fessor J. L. Laughlin of leago, Louis A. Garnett of San Francisco, Stuyvesant Fish of New York and Judge Robert S. Taylor of Indiana. Prior to the meeting today the object of the work of the commission was out- lined to a Star reporter by Mr. H. H. Han- na of Indianapolis.

The executive comm re of the mone- ta commission,” sa‘ Henna, “was charged with the duty o: ing authority frcm Congress for the President of the United States to appoint a commission to take up the question of a general fina celal plan for the country, including a bank- ing and currency system, and to study the Mr Subjcct and recommend legislation to t next session of Congress. committ eral weeks here spring in efforts to secure favorable action from Con- The Pre gress. inaugural address h ident =O ed in his upon t matter, a curre! commission, and the entire administratic has been friendly to the project. “Failing to secure this authority from Congress for a commission the executive committee proceeded to organize a commts- sion of its own.

In fact, the appcoyal of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury is of the most pronounced friend- ly character. Purpose of the Commission. “The executive committee secured the acceptance of the gentlemen named above for appointment upon the commission. It is the purpose of the commission to take up the subject intrusted to them for in- vestigation and study, and to seek sug- gestions and recommendations from every- body in an effort to obtain information of the needs of every part of the country as to financial legislaticn, with the e in view of making recommendations ther for that will serve the whole people the best without preferment of any interest or any peri cf the country. “If attention is given to the geographi cal, political and commercial representa- tion on the commission it will be no: that New England has one represe: the east three, the south two, t West one, the Pacific coast one, t west one, aud the central west two. There are six republicans and five democrats. “The character of the men who compose the commission is of the highest. They were chosen after the most careful con- sideration of the situation. They are repre- sentative men and thoroughly qualified for the work they have undertaken. The com- mission will lay out its own plan of work, determine the length of its sessions and where they shall meet, but my opinion is that the commission will remain in ses- sicn until Congress assembles.” Result of the Indianapolis Convention The gathering of this body of distin- guished financiers and economists has fol- lcwed in quick and systematic order the sound money conference movement inaug- urated at Indianapolis in November, 1896, by the board of governors of the Indianap = lis board of trade. That body sent invita- tions to the beards of trade of sixteen cities to send three delegates to a prelimi- nary conference to meet in Indianapolis in December. ‘The call set forth the following sugges- tion: “Tt is believed very carnestly that a noa- partisan committee or commission com- posed cf experts judiciously selected by a representative conference of business men should be chosen at an early day; and that to this commission should be assigned the duty ef preparing a plan which can be em- bodied in such legislation as will place cur monetary system on a permanently sound basis. “The present grave juncture presents an opportune occasion to the business men of the country to intervene in a business mat- ter, and it is their duty as well as they can to aid in the solution of a matter which so intimately concerns the stability of business. “The commission to be ultimately se- country j lected must be of such attainments and character as not only to allay all suspicion of any influence from class or sectional in- terest, but it must be of such fitness as to inspire the confidence fh the mind of the fair-minded citizen of the republic that its work will be done for the permanent wel- fare of the whole nation. “We have great confidence in the patriot- ism of the masses of the American people, and believe that they will recognize the wisdom of looking to a commission of the character above described for the hest solution of the questions involved, and that the people will await the results of the committee’s labor before committing them- selves to any particular plan or scheme hastily or immaturely devised. “In view of the grave character of the situation which confronts us, and the great importance of the work. to be achieved by the committee to be ee ee is ob- vious anee each Ra areiecs ony. in ch6os- ing its represent es to Proposed conference, should nominate men whose for ‘con’ men,” which assembled at Indianapolis January 12, 1897.
