LOVE-MAKING IN PUBLIC II CHANGE IN EXISTING CONDITIONS Is Demanded at Once Paper Read by W. L. Royall, of Richmond, at the Recent Na tional Sound Money League Meeting at Washlnoton-lt "Bristles With Facts" is the Comment Made, Etc. At the recent meeting of the execu tive committee of the National Sound Money League, held in Washington City, Mr. W. L. Royal, of Richmond read a paper which bristled with facts and information sadly needed at this time as to existing conditions and fu ture possibilities. Whatever may be thought of his views on any particular branch, of the subject discussed, or of his remedy, it is well to give heed to the conditions which he has not overdrawn, and which as he says, if not changed, tend directly to "commotions not dissimilar- to the French Revolution." We copy a portion of the paper, and ask careful consideration of it, taken from the Richmond Times. "There ,is a vast part of this country that is interested and vastly interseted in it, (currency reform) and we are never going to have an end of the agi tation that has cost tbe country so dearly in the past four years until the SfaVanu'one if them waST Black": the country, and all the banks are in fctate anu one u three the cities, and their managers do not HUrgiV J I in Montgomery county, know him, and will not, threfore, lend hundred people i L;i" eraS reglon to him.

Indeed, the frank and candid way that love-making goes on in public among the lower classes is so amazing that at first you think you never in this world will be come accus tomed to it, but you get accustomed to a great many strange sights in Fans, if a kiss explodes with unusual violence in a cab near mine it sometimes scares the horse, but it no longer disturbs me in the least.

She was not a conceited woman, nor was the Prince s grandpapa a vain man; but the Queen's egotism must have been pow erfully" stimulated and kept alive from 1837 to the end of 1840.

A bank in Texas that has out half mil- tional money good for what it is worth in all parts of the Union and it would not stay with the farmers.

All they would a bank as any in the world, its notes may answer in Texas for monev as well1 as gold coin, and yet that bank may be wholly unknown in New York, so that no one there' will be willing to receive its notes. If the people dwell ing near that bank in Texas are able to have all the financial accommoda tions they need when that bank issues its notes and can have none at all when it is forbidden to isue them, is it fair to them that the bank should be prohibited from isuing them?-I LOCAL BANKS. 4 - It is an utterly false idea, that of the banks of a country being intended as an agency to supply the whole nation with a curency of universal circulation. As well expect the bank notes of Bel gium to circulate in France, which they do not, or the bank notes of France to circulate in Italy, which they do not. The English have, in part, the true conception of banking. They have their local banks all over the country which put out notes that are at a discount a short distance from wiiere they are is sued, but that perfectly answer the purposes of the people who live around the banks that issue them. . The system makes notes abundant for those localities which require notes and allows those localities that do not need them to be without them. When we began our national life un der the constitution we had State banks of issue and we had them con tinuously until they were put an end to during the civil war. It was the rotten Western banks that gave the name of "wild cat" to State banks and brought them into disre pute. But during all the time mush room banks were springing up in the wild west, the old Atlantic States had State banks that had grown up by pro cess of evolution that were perfectly sound and that furnished their people with the best currency system any peo ple ever had. In that thirty years no man ever lost a dollar by a Virginia bank note and they were so good that in 1860 Virginia bank notes were at a discount of only one-quarter of one per cent in New York city, a sufficient discount, how ever, to keep all of them in Virginia, for the use of her people, for whom they were intended. VIRGINIA'S SITUATION. Consider for a moment Virginia's sit uation now in contrast with what it was thirty years before the war. Now I believe I would be within bounds, if I said tliere are not $250,000 peror. The Brunswick unruliness is also pa tent in his words and deeds. Analyze him well, and you will find a resem blance to George IV., who imagined he won the battle of Waterloo, and to the speech-making William IV. William was always firing off speeches. They showed lots of go and fluency, but were often strange. Paris Correspondence London Truth. bring about by free silver would be the degradation of our stanard of value, a general bankruptcy and liquidation and a resumption of business ofter a long time on a basis of a dollar worth forty four cents and always shifting in value, but they would be left without money as now because all of the silver would go to the commercial centres as the present money does. I am aware that the prejudice against State banks of issue is so great that it will probably be impossible to get Congress to permit of their re-establishment. But all that is essential can be se cured with national banks of issue on ly. A law that authorized national banks everywhere and permitted them to issue as many notes as their direc tors may think prudent to issue, with out security of any kind whatever ex cept the credit and assets of the banks that issue them, but subjeet to what ever inspection Congress chooses to provide for and with liberty to the na tional banks to have j branches where ever they want themj with distinctive marks for the notes of each State, will meet all the requirements of the case and will bring contentment and peace to the country. Let all talk of State banks be dropped, therefore, and let us ask for national banks upon the ba sis I state here. And now, in conclusion, I wish to re cord a few solemn words of warning. I believe that as a result of the late Pres idential elections the Country is enter ing upon a full tide of prosperity that nothing can arrest, unless the Senate's resolution as to paying our bonds with silver or a Spanish war stops it. But tides have their ebbs I as well as their iflow. While the tide is running we shall hear very little of the discontent in the country that raised up the terrible shadow of 1S96. But the causes of that discontent will remain just as they were in 1896, and the discontent will be ready to -break out again as soon as the tide of prosperity has! finished its flow. When the ebb sets in we shall again hear the complaints of the farmer, and they will be even louder than they have been, and when he again makes his un natural union with the idle workman J prices, of the cities that the ebb in the tide of prosperity will crowd your streets with, the late election warns us that union may carry 'this country.
