SHOULD BE AS SECURE AS BRITISH CASH ster Sces No Res Why United States Currency Should Not Be as Widely Used as Eng- lish Language, CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—Secretary Shaw was the principal speaker at a meeting of the Buankers' club here this afternoon. He sald In part: 1 want to emphasize the necessity for an element of elasticity in our currency. It han boen sald that our present system is nonelastic. This is true in the sense which the term s employed, but In another senss it Is a mistake. Unfortunatoly, the volume contracts just when it should expand_and expands when it should con- tragt. This Is not captious criticism. It Is ked truth s much need for contrac- tlon when money is not legitimately needed s there Is for expansion when more money equired. And unless contraction can be induced expansion i» impossible. What are_the essentlals of an elastic currency? Firet, its prompt retirement when not needed; second, Its equally rompt relssuance when needed. And un- o8 you have the one you cannot have the other. The one is an essential protection against inflation. The other s the best safeguard against stringency. Currency sufficlent to do thy iness of the country is not inflated. A redundant currency, be that much or little, 1s ll'l{- dangerous. Some have ed the {ssuance of cur- Pency based upon deposits municipal ~ bonds, instead of government bonds, but this d leave the system as nelastic a present. What is needed 1 the right to issue a limited amount of cur rancy without encroaching upon the avail able funds or the assets already in th bank, but with such safeguards as will in- sure its absolute safety and its prompt re- tirement when the demand ceases. This cannot be sccomplished under the resent system of national bank circula. fon.

Dec. 20.—"It 1s time to organize” is the keynote of four circulars being sent to manufacturers throughout | the country by D. M. Parry of Indianapolls, president of the National Assoclation of Manufacturers. He has found his text in various resolutions adopted by the recent convention of the American Federation of Labor at New Orleans. The circulars are directed more against organized labor in general than against the elght-hour bill, which he has attacked. Referring to the Hayes resolutions adopted by the federation, Mr. Parry says “John Mitchell's united mine workers' organizations cast 1,804 votes solidly for this resolution. This Is the organization that evoked so much maudlin sentiment and brought the whole country to its knees in the anthracite strike. It is confidently prophesied that the coal trade will be in the control of the trade unionist by the time of the next American Federation of Labor convention."
