President Declares for Currency Leg
islation at Present Session.
Washington Dispatch, May 31.
Senator Tillman today made public
letter from President Wilson, in
which the President declares for cur
rency legislation at the present ses-
ion of Congress. In that portion of
the letter referring to currency, the
President wrote:
'This i3 the time to pass currency
legislation and t think we are in a
sense bound in loyalty to the country
to pass it, so that any attempt to
create artificial disturbances after the
tariff shall have become law may be
offset by a free system of credit,
which will make it possible for men,
big and little, to take care of them
selves in business."
