It was shortly before 11 o'clock that the work of registering the visitors was com- pleted and President 8. F. Smith of Davenport called the meeting to order. After a few remarks, Rev. E. J. Babcock was introduced and made the opening invocation. Mayor Lawrence read an address of welcome in which he dwelt at some length on the history of the banking business from carlicst times down to the present, First Vice President V. ¥. Newell of Des Moines, responded in behalf of the delegates. He complimented the citizens on the beauty of the place, Then came the address of President S, F. Smith of Davenport. Rapidly and in pleasing phrases President Smith sketched the objects of the associa- tion in meeting annually. giving, in his own words, “simply an_introduction-like music before a banquet—to the solid food that is in store for you.” He told a number of amus- ing and instructive anecdotes, each having bearing uear or remote on_the banking busi- ness.

Newell, ‘The opening hours of the afternoon ses- uion was spent in listening to reports of special committees. The most interesting was the one given in the form of a paper by Judge Wakefield of the Sioux City district, on the subject of how to secure better pro- t bankers against fraudulent and the acts of Wakefiold hud sent ulars to different bankers, asking suggestions as to plans for accomplishing this purpose. His paper con- sisted of & summary of the varied opinions thus gained. Among the suggestions thus gained was one that a fund be created for the capure and conviction of such criminals, Another was that the mnotaries should be more careful in tho identification of persons making acknowledgments before = them., Others, and they seemed 1n - the emajority, thought there was no practical plan, but that each for himself should view every man with such unchristianlike sus- picion us to prevent his being taken in and that above all else one should remember nover to do bus with strangers. S gestions were given as to care in tho u- ance of commercial paper, so that it could not be altered or forged. Lacey on the Clrculating Medlum, The first formal address of the afternoon was by Hon. E. S, Lacey, ex-comptroller of tho currency, and now president of the Bankers National of Chicago. ‘This was an exhaustive treatise on the ect of “Our Circulating Medium; Its Character and Volume.” Mr. Lacey handied the somewhat weighty topic trom a purely scientific standpoint in that clear, incisive manner which marked his oficial reports and the utterances on the topic heretofore given the public through the press of the country. His late ofiicial posi- tion brought him into close relation with government's functional duties in regard to culating medium, and he gave the audienge the essence of his vich exporience, 1t iS apparent that we have ten varieties of coin and paper circulating as money, no two of which are subject to the same re- quirements as to redemption, uor clothed with the same legal tender and debt-paying qualities,” said Mr, Lacy, after describing at some length the various issues. “It is a matter of congratulation that the discretion conferred upon the secretary of the treasury has heretofore been wisely ex- ercised, because to this fact are we mainly indevted for the maintenance uf the parity of these widely dissimilar and unscientific issues.” This statement was followed by a categorical aud critical analysis of the tion's financial system, with a careful con mentary on the same and sapient sugges- tions for improvement. raye symptoms, now apparent,” said he, *‘warn us that the financial affairs of the country are anythiog but healthful. All the advocates ‘of silver assert that a conspiracy exists for its demonetization, to the end that contraction may ensue and the interest of the bankers and money lenders be subserved. As a lifetime bimetallist, 1 have given this assertion care- ful ~consideration, and candor compels we to say the evidence adduced falls far short of establishing the truth, Relief should be dewanded from coungress.” The speaker lumsued therepeal of the act of July 14, 1890, All the gold coin in the United States treagury and national bank notes of the denomination of $ and under uhou%‘be returned and reissued in larger dengiinations, utilizing in place thereof silver coin and silver certificates, Standard. tes of Omaha, president of ka Natioual bank, was the uext pa Judge | return, but if this outpouring of gold 101 Mr. Lacy, but instead of standing on a single goid standard basis he would discuss the nancial situation on the theory of bimetalism. Speaking of the ex- port of gold he said that this was not nm‘v!m\rlfy an_ occasion of alarm, but rather a sign of a nation's osperity, provided that for the gold there were valuable commodities received as due was due to distrust, it showed surely that some rt of the financial system was defective e deemed the silver question the main cause of this financial disturbance. He de- nounced the idea that the government added to the real value of money by its flat. Tts stamp was simply an s suranco of the weight and fineness of the metal in coin, The government had the constitutional right to regulate money, but not to make money. The govern- ment should exercise this power of regula- tion in such a way as to ensure a parity of value, Mr. Yates then proceeded to give an intoer- esting historical review of the variations in the comparative value of golu and sil To his mind much of the difficulty in financial situations was due to reckiess disregard of the real relation in value of the two metals, and an attempt to maintain silver as an artificial rate. The repeal of the demonetization of silver shall have boen accompanied by the establish- ment of a silver standard of at least 18 to 1, but the government attempted to arbitrari- lly maintain the ratio of 16 to 1. This soon became the dearest market in the world for silver, The attempt was made to hold this ratio by the purchase of silver under the Sherman law, but although in 1800 the purchases were increased silver continued to fall. Another trouble was that there was no method by which the government could obtain gold with which to maintain tho parity of gold and silver at this rate. He showed by the statements of the treasury that while the gold reserve in 1879 aniounted to 40 per cent of the liabilities, it had fallen gradually until in 1800 iv amounted to only 22 per cent, and had kept decreasing in_proportion until that nad fallen to per cent. Could anything be more ridiculous than the government being forced into sell- ing its lands to secure gold when but a short time ago it was paying big premiums to re- deem its bonds in order to dispose of the needless surplus in its treasury ¢ ‘Wants the Sherman Law Repealed. He advocated the repeal of tLo Sherman law, unconditionally, if need Ls. But what would become of silver? If necessary in r to maintain free commercial int with the world it should be left to its He was not, however, opposed to silver us money, but in its fa- vor, believing ‘that with a fair ratio established, it would not suffe Ho would open the mints to its free coinage, but onaratio which would take silver at its minimum rate of value in comparison to gold. He suggested how it might be mado 25 to 1. ‘While it mignt not be practical to coin silver dollars cortaining 500 grains, yet by the issulng of certificates redeemable in the ullion or in silver coin _ this freo coinuge might be yed in o practical way. On the r: of 25 to 1 the coin of this country would contain 60 per cent more silver than the French frane, and would be circulated abroad as well as at home. It was of utmost import- ance that silver shall be maintained on a parity with gold as a stundard. This and the repeal of the Sherman law would help clear up the financial muddles of the day. Deemer on Bankers and the Public. Judge Deemer served as an able substitute for Attorney General Stone, who was as- signed the subject of *“The Mutual Rel: of Bunkers and the Public,” but who was detained in Des Moiues by cases in court. Judge Deemer's address was one of the most enjoyable of the He showed how banking was as ancient as the human race and os needful to society as breathing was to life. The relations of bamking institutions and different governments in times of great peril, and the help given in passing national crises was eloquently portrayed. The necessity for systems of credit veonomy and the help of banking in all the business of the world, were pictured in words which indirectly formed a pleasing tribute to the assembled delegates. Throughout the address there was also a vein of humor and a sparkle of wit, which added grace and interest to the more solid logic of his tLought. After the adjournment of the convention the delegates loaded a train of three clee- tric cars and were whirled over the cntire line of the Council Bluffs and Omaha Motor company, gecting by the airing an excellent appetite for supper. Reception at the Grand. Last evening the convention took ona social nature, a reception being held at the Grand hotel. The dining ¢ nste- orated with flowers. a table in the r of the voom being piled full of and roses, which shed a rich fragr: throughout the room.
