Made Five Tears A so- Almost rrojdietle in View of Present . CondltlonlHs View on Adaptation of Currency System to Suit Modem Conditions. Iii an interv iew with aa Observer re porter yesterday on currency reform. Mr. D, ; A, " Tompkln recalled the fact that, someyears ago, in a report to the Commercial club of this city, ne made certain remarks which appear to be almost prophetic In view of pres ent conditions. Thie Is particularly true In regard to lis comments on the "bank, note issue" which are contain ed In that report, fThe Issue of the pesent national banking syntem," declared Mr. Tompkins In the report referred to, "was' devised- for; war times. Then bonds were : low-priced and Interest rates were high. If mors money was called for at that time, it always paid a bank to buy more bond and to issue more ban notes. Now. bonds art high-priced 1 end Interests very low. In this situ ation it does not profit ft bank to buy more honds and Issue bank notes, even tf there is a fierce demand for money. Therefore, In all money eqoeeses, Mie plan of re-discount must be depended upon. RE-DISCOUNT NO LONGER EF FECTIVE. "Be-dlscount Is not effective any longer, because when money is scarce ' In North Carolina, it is also scarce In "New Tork and other money centre This Is due to the fact that the In terests 'of the nation have become much more Interwoven and common to all sections alike .and at all times. -Whatever note issues are made, they Should toe on a safe basis. As bank notes are now issued, no holder should nave a doubt as to the gold value of the note tie holds. "The comptrollers of the currency have for more than fiO years, without exception, advocated the issue of bank notes on the assets of the banks. The unsafe' factor in these can be de termined as easily and accurately as the unsafe factor In human life, or as of a huse la respect to Bre. For life or lire a premium rate can be found by an actuary that will with, abso lute certainty, cover all unsafety as to life or fire and leave a profit. This unsafe factor varies under different conditions. "Under the present conditions of in spection and requirement under the i national banks, omitting the bonds deposited to secure same, Is far be low 1-4 of I per cent. Therefore, a tax of 1-4 of 1 per cent, levied and held as a guarantee fund would be far more than secure and make safe the notes of all the national banks. 'This has been shown by several comptrollers from data in the Treas ury Department at Washington. UNCERTAINTY OF STATE BANK ISSUES. s " wntini' la morn uncertain than frie 'Individual life or the Are risk of ,ny one bouse, but under the eame conditions, if enough lives or enough houses ie considered, thMi tho aver age is a certainty. State banks were (uncertain because of: ' 4'One, Insufficient requirements; two. Insufficient restrictions and regu lations; three, and Insufficient num bers. "Life insurance companies require, among other things, that the Injured hall not be a victim to an Incurable disease. State banks did not, In many cases, require that the capi tal should be (paid in in cash. 8ub icrilters notes were in many cases allowed to be called a capital stock, . and these should he liquidated by salaries voted to officers and dlrec- ; tors by officers and directors. AS TO REGULATION AND DIS TRIBUTION. ' "In one Stale in the time of State tank note issue, it was required that bank should keep 10 per cent. In gold of ull notes burned to insure re demption. An inspector visiting one bank to count the gold, was request- i l to carry the same gold to his next bank and did it; note indues were not ; restricted according to law and In epectlon was slip-shod and Iheffec tive. Each bank was responsible for the redemption of it own notes of Is sues, and if it failed, the holder wan the loser. Thlp insuflteiertt guiirantoc or "Individual uiiL-estpinty, of a few ' trunks made all bank notes the sub- . Jsct oft muiplelun. -. "If ag"-arant-e fund had been pro vided, bawert upon the fivctor of un- r certainty, the note of every bank would have been absolutely iiafe In . each State where they were enough . In number to secure an average. THE SYSTEM OK DEPOSITS. "In the conduct of manufacturing end commercial buslneiss an ln dividual, firm or corporation some times has Rurjiliifc money amk. in sometimes short of money on account of fluctuation in bulnx. Con venience In such caw requires that ' the bank shall lake for wife-keeplriK all surplus money, and furninh money 1 ifor such time as the Individual, Urm or corporation Is In need, an when stocks of good are purchased or crops are moved. The aurpluM ' cash of a firm goes Into the bank a ' a 'deposit' This deposit should be available to the firm when wanted, or 'subject to a chock.' "The Ideal itlttmtion would le one ' Where the deposits, or surplus ac count, of one w' of Individual, firms-or corporations exactly equalej the loans or credits required by the other, t. It Is found, however, that HS" 'variations in business do not bring about this equality ut one time, ,, but by a prooer system of discount, depontt .nd isue, this may be neewn pU(hd aa avragi by re-dls- counting or by note issue. In either case th credit of the bank on the lasts of Its assets Is used. Afl TO PRESENT CONDITIONS. ' "The national banking , system Is ' unsurpassed as to its discount and deposit feature. Us Issue feature Is withered and practically dried up by changed conditions. The enlarg- ment ,f our manufacturers, com merce and agriculture, and the na tlonat scale to whkih these have sepa rately grown, requires larrer sIhhim. y than has ever been required be lore, in ine iae or this the high jrlce of United States bonds and their lov rats of Interest, 4xwk note Is ruw are unprofitable to meet tem porary , demands like the movement or a crop, in uhs situation interest rate to people whose assets are not Inown-.in money centres Is hitch, and dxtnger to all banks Is great m any name, or , snaaow, or a panic. This brings a need for a law authorizing 4;ank note Issues on assets to make, a lower interest rata to farmers, small manufacturers and small merchants end to make safety for the banks themselves, and to Insure manufac tures of commerce against panics., FORM EH CURRENCY BILLS. "Currency reform bills have failed in. many Congresses, mainly for two -.- ' un, bcttthy.l4av-tteropt- .! cut (. L : o ; : : : t: : , ... h ! ' , : ..:.;! i a lut of i . r i r. . r. i brides reform the currency b; v.: -a a; iiu i.lng the l-.-ue of guaran tei il bank notes on assets. "Two, the people have fill appre hended that bank notes Issued on as iets would' be of doubtful security be cause the old State banks nominally Issued on assets. As a timtter of fact, must of the old State banks Is isued notes without either assets, guarantee or anything like decent In spection and regulation. . THE PRESENT STATUS. 'The gold standard was ' accom plished by taking it out of the gener al banking bill and presenting it as a single proposition, v "It seems to be now determined by those Interested In currency reform to Isolate the "feature ; of guranteed bank note laeuea on assets, and make It the subject of a special bill and special effort to bring thU one f ea- ture to successful issue in congress. "The bill of Mr, Fowler, chairman of the committee on 'banking and currency. Fifty-seventh Congress, second session, seems to be directed to this one purpose. If the bill, as prepared, could" be passed and tnade a law. it would be a Dig move w- wards the -better adaptation of our currency 'system to fit modern condi tions. It would contribute immense ly: "One, to : the safety of the banks themselves in time of panic and es pecially to the large and prosperous 'banks In money centres.; It wouia relieve thes from the-need, to issue clearing house certificates (which are of doubtful legality), and would also relieve them from the , tremendous pressure for re-dtecounta Just at the time they are least able re-dls- count, .:- -;--.5'"'-.-vv:'-. "Two. to a lower Interest rate to farmers or small merchants and man ufacturers and better profit to banks. "Three, to better profits t large banks In large commercial centres by a more even flow of large business undisturbed by panicky . feelings from time to time. "Four, by elimination of panics. When scarv neoule tie up a lot of currency in safety deposit 'boxes and in stockings, the banks couia simpiy Issue more to take Its place and bus iness could so on undisturbed. When the old money came back into circulation the asset money could toe retired and thor tax on It saved." The country is passing througn a crisis such as Mr. Tompkins amj his committee, composed of himself, George Stephens, W. H. Twilty and J. F. Orr descriDea. AirmiORIUM OPENING.

Itinerant Company of Players Dewrt ert by th Manager and Ieft Adrift In die City A Poor Woman's Woe. Deserted by their manager and with little more than enough money to pro cure food and lodging for the night, a theatrical aggregation coaiintlng of 10 men and women spent yesterday In the city. The tale which Mrs. J. H. Nansetta detailed to the officers at the police station yesterday morning was one of sorrow and misfortune, she was the wife of the absconding man ager as well as a member of the Mranded company and her woe was Couhly great. The troupe arrived In the city on No. 30 yesterday morning from Pinevllle. where. Saturday night, they gave a uerformance. When the train pulled in and Jumped off with thdr 1h'4khkc and started for the sta tion M-mager Nanssett lagged be hlr4 plving the rest to believe that he had luslmss to do with the baggage man r. This was a subterfuge for when the train started out he Jumped aboard und disappeared north. The la..t d;:ht the company had of him was when tie train crossed West Trade strft. bound for Salisbury. Washing ton and New York. He had skipped with the bag which contained practi cally all tl. money belonging to the. company. Mrs. NanaeUa called at the I lice station to see If anything could he done to secure either the return of l.r li.td,nd or of the money. Little encourascment could be given her in ei'.uer event.

"I had aa intertlng1 conversaUon with Henry Woodru.T, 'Torn Brown of Harvard,'" said an Observer "re porter to a fellow 3-esterday. ' "I called to see him at "the Selwyn Hotel Saturday afternoon . to ask if the report that he was born in North Carolina wer true. ' "To the direct Question ha. said: No, Indeed, I was born In Connecti cut I am a Nutmegger." How did you like your house for the matinee?' he was asked. "'It was the largest since Al Field was here, but the show did not go well somehow. The response was not . I. gooa. The boys did not hava the right sort 'of encouragement. I thought that was a very ap preclatlve audience,' said I. 'Not tike the ones in other places,' was the reply, . r "I left the youner fellow, feeling that he did not understand the people Here, for . bis show was more than cordially - received., and :. they, say Southerners are -more Impulsive than. outers. - i could not understand; the hand-clapplngs had been general. well, last night after the second performance was over I went to con- gratuiate Woodruff on the grand ovation given him. X called while he was eating a lunch at the Gem and toia nim that I was glad to see the house applaud him until he had to speak and that , the crowd ' and the response were so good. " Thank you. we had a cood house and ' better encouragement, but the latter - was not as good as we - ex pected,' said Woodruff. v - "That took my breath for a mo ment, for I had seen the crowd en core him and force htm to soeak and had seen bouquets carried up. " 'What can be the trouble?' I asked myself, v 'If he were Just .out and not satisfied with the sort of treatment accorded here I ' could understand, but he ' has played "Brown of Harvard" about 900 times. Are the people of Charlotte not re sponsive? Are they at fault?'" "Col. Will A, Peters, who has been everywhere and seen everybody, of fered this suggestion: 'I know what ne is talking about, and other people have aaid the same thin about Charlotte. The applause Is not gen eral when It comes. A bunch of a dozen will clap over on the right and the curtain rises In response. The curtain goes down and a party on the other side applauds. This Is kept up for some time, but there Is rarely ever a rrand. ImDulsive out burst of applause 'f rem the house. That, I think, is the trouble. ' The man oh the stage hears the weak call, out cannot see who gives It.' inis may be the explanation., "Charlotte Is considered neculiar In many respects. A good attraction of the elevating sort, like a gooif book of the better class, hath but little promise iof an 'audience here, hl.f lot a fl-afLstlnaa 1am V. - and the Trowd will not only be large but responsive. The high kicker charms the house from the bald headed row to the back wall. Where Scott's "Kenllworth" was read by one "The Ships That Pass in the Night" was read by hundreds. Schumann Heink playd to a handful, while some light-footed, ray songster would fill the house. One can under stand this in the country where music Is elective in the schools. The person who knows no more about music than a billy goat does not care to pay 12.50 or even 11.50 to ham. singer like Schumann-Helnk when he can hear her from a Dhnnofirranh for five cents. "There may be something in Mr, Woodruff's kick, but I had not thought of It before." . MILLIONS IN MANUfTAOTURING.
