"Let vs settle once for all that the only proper reserve for our banks to ,..,vi.,i mit thitt are most unfortunate In having to carry 156,000.000 of United States notes and $600,000.00 of -allver maintaining- them ' upon a parity with gold and thereby Justifying as beet we can their use as reserve. Let us not - forget that both and our silver and United States - Botes- are sertou stumbling blocks; though not In surmountable obstacles to our becoming- the financial centre of the world, provided they may be practically eliminated In time from our financial calculations. A great central bank is In my opin- ' ton a political .impossibility at .present. I-do not regard a great central bask as essentlaL to a slentlflc, sound and wise banking and currency system for the. United States, provided we can unify and co-ordinate our banking in terests.' bring them substantially into ' one system which will secure universal co-operation and the strength . of i a : combination of .our entire banking cap ital; and, even i with " a central bank the same co-oVdlnatlon must he effect ed. , v- ' . nr Muraa ta nil nf nur financial ln- character: gold or its equivelent; be cause gold Is our standard of value, ' ' Our reserve 4s all our financial Instl tltutlon must be adequate to prove our credits and protect our depositors.

Our bank notes must be related to - and 'based upon the consumable com modities of the country; going out with productions and coming in with . mrtenmnttnn. A ' . , EXPENSIVE SYSTEM. . The practice, I will not stay principle of finance and currency now in operation in this country is casting the Ameri can people at least U50.000.000 annually, in addition to, the frightful devastation of values Incident to such currency panic as the present, which are liable . to occur at any time if some signift- cant failure should preclpate it. -The cost to the people of 4150,000,000 arises from the fact that the use of all the capital repreesnted by the bonds deposited to secure our present bank notes, is lost because they are wholly "unnecessary and in their present use and relation are an unmitigated curse. ; , The use of .the capital represented by ment deposits is also lost, a well as as Interest at the rate of 2 per cent upon government deposits, ; which, since the establishment of the nation al banking system up to the preesnt time has amounted to about 175,000.000, or nearly twice as much as the lost to depositors resulting from failure of na , tional banks. ' ' "There Is In the pockets of theueople $1,250,000,000 of reserve money, 81,000, 000.000 of which at least should be ex changed for current credit or credit currency. If any other business In the world, except our politically managed, were Involved, this waste of $150,000,000 an mnlly would be stopped at once. , Who pay for this waste of capital? American labor. Upon .labor rests the entire cost of the banking business, which is a necessary evfl Incident to the production, transportation and sale . or disposition of $25,000,000,000 worth of product annually. A NEEDED LAW. A law should be passed giving to the national banks the right of exercis ing, in the respective States where located all the powers of executors, administrators, guardians and trustees. Unless this step is taken the advan tages now enjoyed by the trust com panies will gradually but Inevitably compel the national banks to surrender their charters for trust company char ters;, for -if a trust company Is requir ed to carry only one-flfth or one-half the reserve the reserve of a national 1ank. it can afford to pay a much higher rate of Interest upon deposits and eventually under-mlne the nation al banks. The right should be given to nation al banks to,Jssuc an amount of creilt currency equal at least to their capl - tal; These two powers would have the effects of bringing Into the national , system practically all the trust com panies and State banks df our recent experiences have confirmed the public opinion that the required reserves of the national banks are none too high. "If our banks were authorized to con vert their bank book credits 4nto bank not credits, upon the demand of de positors, there never would be a 'cur rency famine such as we are suffering irom now. CREDIT CURRENCY. A credit currency cannot In any way lead to expansion, but it would rather ten to prevent expansion, If put upon ine wmo iooimg in an respects as check and drafts. Our currency will "then be perfectly co-ordinated to the needs of business, toeing neither too great nor too little, the cashiers' checks springing Into being with business with business needs, and automatically oisappeanng precisely as checks and drafts do. -No civilised country now has a bond secured currency such as we have; and no civilised country of cotiseauenoe vever did have such a currency except one, ana in is lapm. .who cooled It rrom us only to repudiate and discard it in favor f a credit currency. ' j -Yet while w 'tar still In the throes , of our commercial catastrophe there ere fiose who, ignorant of the causes and thoughtless of the future, would have us nke another plunge In the: same direction by adding to our .over whelming load a. o? fixed. Immovable, band-secured notes and other mass of . banknotes based upon gum. muni cipal and railroad bonds. - Could any one conceive and plan a more gigantic scheme of inflation. f ' ' MOVING TO A CRISIS.' .' I now declare thai if this governmnt continues its present policy of injecting Into the arteries of trade and com merce Axed, bond-secured currency, by swapping aecurittes, by bond specula tions, by treasury manipulations, and by Executive ordersj we shall continue to move only with an accelerated speel ei.4 with the directness of a musket sroove; arii tbe absolute certainty of Tn'r.c (me, toward a commercial t: a comments! crisis, j 1 :' : : f-.-.i t a t r . 8 'l b I t'Aui eoun.l currency i.U 1 will a ; the fr.iroe time i?-rte-ty refloat V.s varyii.Hr comlal-ms of trale and ""! nserce, and, with never f illing accur acy, respond to every call an.l mest every requirement, let us with IntelH pence, coursage and patriotism proceed to adopt it. , Of course above all else it must.be absolutely sound; -and. every dollar ot it must be as good as gold. Scotland has had such a currency for more than 200 years. . France has had such t currency for more than 100 years. In deed, practically,. all the clvilUed na tions of the world, except our own. have such," a- currency to-day, and. therefore we must conclude that it is sound;, f ; " - r. ' r , v T . I assert that In point of safety y a credit currency with guaranteed funds of S per cent,. Is equal In point of safety to our present" national notes; and it may be claimed that both are perfectly sate if the prpper preserves are held to protect them. When universal panic struck our be loved country in the very midst of aoounqmg prosperity, ana we were in ft the throes of commercial distress, national law. noin ted tha way. - v. It was through-the uso of current, credit, related to and based upon the com' merclal commodities of the country, the things we eat. -wear and use. What was It? . It was the clearing house certificates and cashiers' check. a pure credit currency. These sprang into being under the pressure of ne cessity, and will automatically disap pear as ' that necessity recedes; per fectly adjusting itself to every condi tion from day to day. - 4 , NO AUTHORITY OF LAW." These clearing house certificates and cashiers' . checks were issued .without authority of Jaw, and under very great disadvantages because it was neces sary to successfully evade the law. And yet will any man say that this credit currency did not save us from a commercial disaster which would beggar the imagination of any human being. ' ,i . . .... Has this lesson taught us nothing? God forbid. Now mark . this While ' all these credits will soon disappear, you will find that the Immobile, sodden mass of government bond-recured notes will remain to a single dollar; and wilt pile up and crowd themselves into the re serves of . our banking institutions, State banks, trust companies, private banks and even into our .national banks,: forcing out a corresponding amout of gold and so undermining the $12,000,000,000 of credits in this coun try. : ,. f I warn you now against the fan- thomless abyss of ' inflation wa ' are slowly, but centainly approaching. Shall we stop now, or proceed and hasten the day and guarantee the re sult by adding State, municipal and railroad bonds as a basis Of bank cur rency. Labor is now paying a penalty of $160,000,000 a year to keep up the gro tesque farago of our financial and currency practice. Hundreds of thousands of sen are now idle, two millions of men may be idle as the result of preesnt conditions; and. so long as We continue these conditions, we will constantly jeopardise the pros, perlty of the people and the welfare of the whofe country. For It will be an accident every fall If we get through without a repetition of. our present experience, bitterly Intensified too, should the conditions overtake us when generil conditions are bad. 1 As the contest for the gold standard brought confidence, strength, stability, progress and prosperity to oar country so will a campaign for "a scientific, sound and wise financial snd currency system lead us out of our difficulty and Protect us against the dangers and Immeasurably greater misfortunes In the future. The subject chosen by Mr. Hamil ton was "The Necessity For Financial Legislation." His address In part was as follows: COAL RATE DISCRISIIXATTON.

The investi gation of the charges of discrimina tion In freight rates on coal by the Southern and the Virginia & South western, continues here under the di rection of the inter-State commerce commission. A number of witnesses testified to day, for the complainant, the City of Bristol, and the examination IncluJcd an exhaustive inquiry Into the rates charged by the Virginia & Southwest ern, the cost of hauling Its coal traf fic, and Its connection with the Vir ginia Iron, Coal & Coke Company. An attempt was made to stop the proceedings by the city, but this was prohibited by order of Special Exam iner Smith. It was brought out at the hearing that as a result of negotiations be tween the traffic departments of the Southern and Virginia 4 Southwest ern, the latter being owned by the former, there was an advance Iru freight rates on coal by both roads. It was also testified that th South ern was to maintain a rate relatively 20 cents per ton higher than the Vir ginia & Southwestern so as to pre vent the product of Tennessee mines from entering certain territory and cut off competition. The officials of t'.ie Vlriglnla & Southwestern Insist ed, however, that Independent action wax taken In the issuance of the new tariffs. ROOSEVELT MEANS BUSINESS.

' Observer Bureau, The Holleman Building, : " : "' : '; v Raleigh. Dec. 10. For the first time to-day there ap peared signs of a special session of the Legislature. It required a good I deal of quiet talk to develop the flatus of matters as to this, cut ax the present moment the odds appear to.be In favor of a special session. If it is called, it looss as if It will be in January. No one need be surpris ed If it is, held next month. uTiere Is no doubt that there has been a proposition to a special session. Some opponents of: such : Tn'e'aaUTrrliaTrw held that there was no telling what the Legislature might ' do. but it is contended that the Legislature can be specially, convened for a definite fix ed purpose, the call of the Governor naming this purpose and declaring it to be the consideration of the ques tion of railway passenger rates. jx seems that in a very little while definite action Is gouir .to be taken. It may be that the, railways will be able 4o effect . some other arrange ment, but the question Is how this thing could be dobe. SO It is that while some see no way out of the difficulty except a speedy special ses sion, others think that perhaps mat ters can tie arranged without it. A number of members of the Legisla ture have been heard to nay . ihat. tney wouia be entirely willing to come to a special session, apply themselves to the one thing of fixing the rate definitely and for many a year to come, and then go home without taking ud any other matter. The differing rates in various States which are now In effect are certainly very troublesome to'the railways and the , public, Nothing that Governor uienn Das so far said haa precluded the possibility of a legislative session. but events within the past week point mora and mora to Jt and that quick ly. ;:--v;;'::,-r.,.-;;r '-:.

How to Avoid It and Escape a Surgt - i cal Operation, Told, by One Who Know. , A Simple Method. That la Always , - Efficacious. . It has only been a few year since it was discovered that a surgical operation would cure appendicitis; in fact, it ha been but a short time since the disease wa discovered and named. ' :"' V .'''-" Whenever there is an inflamed con dltlon of. the appendix, caused by impacted faeces in the small cavity opening into the Intestine, you' then have appendicitis. , ' The older .doctors used to call this Inflammation of the bowels, and were puzzled to know the cause. . ' . Even now, with -all the knowledge we have of the disease,, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, . wlfy we find It where It is, or what are its functions, lf .lt ha any." w,; -..-t The. disease for; which the opera tion is a cure is usually caused by indigestion, and in many-cases fol lows a large and indigestible meal. .Physicians '. have until recently recommended an operation, but now, as it Is known that it is caused by Indigestion - or - dyspepsia, a cure without. an operation is assured. Where the patient Is treated with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the un healthy condition prevailing rapidly disappear, the - stomach and in testines are placed back In their normal 'condition, every organ of the body operates as lt should, and the Inflammation is ' ' reduced and - the operation I avoided ' 1 Conscientious physicians, who are looking after the Vest Interests ot their patients, . will always keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy, in their office, where in cases of sudden attacks of indigestion .they can relieve the patient 'at once,. v - There I no record of a case of ap pendicitis -where the stomach and bowels were tn a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meaL . ' No better advice, can be given to any one who j has attacks of t. indi gestion, or . who has . been threatened with appendicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 60 cents and take home a package of Stuart' Dyspepsia .Tablets. ry.-j-v-v.- 1 Whenever, heartburn, gas In stom ach, or bowels; heart disease or stom ach trouble sour enactions, acUlty or fermentation are present, act at once.
