SECRETARY GAGE’S PLAN
OF CDRPENCY REFORM
Endorsed By the Administration With Hope
That Congress Will Adopt It.
WHAT HON. LYMAN GAGE WRITES ABOUT IT
Strong Points Explained By Him.
How the Currency is To Be Is
sued and Circulated.
Currency reform is now the most
interesting subject before this nation.
Rome is greatly interested in it.
The coming session of congress will
grapple with it. What it will do is
not known, and cannot be predicted.
Many believe it will do nothing.
The plan of Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage is said to have the approval
of President McKinley, and that the ,
administration will endeavor to have ,
congress adopt’ii. 1
A concise explanation of the Gage (
plan as published by the Boston Jour- (
nal is as follows: |
* ‘The plan proposed by the secretary f
of the tWMttry for reforming the cur- (
rency is of vast importance to the whole j
country. In commercial and financial
centres, like Boston, the interest on the (
part of ail business men has been so (
great that every detail of the proposed ,
plan has been scrutinized with the j
greatest care, and fully discussed. Asa (
result of a study of the various parts of £
Secretary Gage’s plan, and after con- ,
sulfation with leading financiers the
editor of the Boston Journal addressed j
to Secretary Gage, under date of No- j
vember 13, a letter embodying the fol- $
lowing questions, which cover the 1
points of detail upon which doubt as to *
the Secretary’s exact intention has been
expressed: £
(1.) You put no limit of time within [
which the secretary of the treasury
shall substitute interest bearing bonds <
for deposit of currency. Would it not *
be fair to make some limit, and not al- g
low the banks to feel that you got the
money in, and they got no interest, ex- i
cept the saving of one half of one per 1
cent tax? j
(2.) When you say that the govern- t
ment shall guarantee the payment of all j
circulating notes of the banks, do you j
mean immediate payment, or only ulti- t
mate payment? It would make quite a *
difference in the treatment of the notes
of any bank whose credit became shaky,
which course the government was go- ■
ing to take. 1
1
(3.) We have also heard it questioned
whether it was wise to invest the 2 per
cent, guarantee fund held by the gov
ernment in bonds, as they might fluctu
ate in value, and it is suggested that it
*might be safer to hold it in money.
(4.) Is the redemption fund of 5 per
cent, to be counted by the banks as a
part of their legal reserve?
BLADDER TROUBLES.
The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one or two days.
The first way is from imperfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis-,
eases, j

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou
bles. It is comforting to know that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root fulfills every
wish in quickly curing bladder and urin
nary troubles. It corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding or stinging
pain in passing it, or bad effects follow
ing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urirfate. The mild
and extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need
a medicide you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents and one dollar.

The following reply was received, un
der date of November 18, from Secretary
Gage:
Treasury Department, >
Office of the Secretary. f
To the Editor of the Boston Journal:
I avail myself of the first leisure mo
ment to reply to yours of the 13th in
stant, in which you wish me to state
more clearly some of the points in my
recommendations, I will, therefore,
say:
[ (1.) That it is the purpose in mind to
substitute interest-bearing bonds as se
curity for circulating notes, in substi
tution of currency previously deposited,
as rapidly as the Printing Bureau can
get them issued and in proper form. In
fact, the delay would be very brief.
(2.) The idea of requiring a deposit of
currency to begin with is to make sure
that there will be no contraction at all
in this operation. Money will go out as
fast as it comes in. The “guarantee of
the government’ ’ I understand to mean
a guarantee for immediate payment,
not ultimate payment.
(3.) As to the investment of the two
per cent, guarantee funds, if invested
in government bonds, I will say that if
per cent, gold bonds are issued, the
fluctuationwillnot.be violent, unless
the debt hereafter should be greatly
increased, and as the investment would
probably be a growing sum, the risk of
a fall could be easily sustained by that
guarantee fund.
(4.) The redemption fund of five per
cent. (I may conclude to recommend
ten per cent, instead of five) is not to
be counted as part of the legal reserve
against deposits.
I feel much gratified at the friendly
interest you take in the suggestions
made by me. I do not know that they
are the best that could be made, but I
feel quite certain that, it they could all
be adopted, the government would find
itself as a bank of issue (and that is what
it is, and what it will be for some years
to come) in an enormously better posi
tion than it now is.

AT EMORY COLLEGE
Basket Ball Takes the Place of the Dan
gerous Game of Football.
. 1
TEAMS DISPLAY GREAT DEAL Os SKILL
It Is a Clean Sport and Has None of the
Rough Elements of Football—Field
Sports Excite Interest,
Oxford, Ga. Nov. 27.—Since the
death of Von Gammon and the subse
quent act of the legislature prohibit
ing the game of football in Georgia a
great deal of interest has been mani
fested by the Emory students in bas
ket ball. t
On Thursday two inter-class games
were played, one between the fresh
men, 1 and the juniors, tbe other, be
tween the sophmores and seniors, and
notwithstanding the fact that none of
the teams had practiced more than a
dozen times considerable skill was
displayed. The score of the first
game stood nine to four in favor of
the juniors; that of the second was
eleven to ten in favor of tbe soph
mores. The game between tbe soph
mores and seniors was hotly contested
all the way through, and at the end
of forty minutes, the time usually
allowed for a game, it was a tie.
In the extra time allowed on acconnt
of tbe tie tbe sophmores succeeded in
making two points first and were
declared winners. In spite of the
cold and tbe dizzling rain, there was
a large crowd, both of students and
citizens, assembled to witness tbe
games. In basket ball there is no
dangerous tackling, holding the ball
and running with it, as in football,
and while we are sorry that the grand
old game of foot ball is no more, we
think basket ball is its proper sue
oeasor.
Considering the few exercises'in field
sports that have been held thus far, the
records for the present college year
promise to be much better than those of
last year. In a recent relay race held
between the classes the best time was
made by the sophomores in 55 minutes
and 47 seconds, while all tbe other classes
came in before the hour was out. The
best time for a single mile was made by
Morgan, freshman, who ran it in 4:30,
while the best record for last year w s
4:83. Last year’s running and standing
high jumps and running broad jump
have also been beaten.
This year, for the first time in her his.
tory, Emory college has an athletic as
sociation. This association is undr able
management, and its activity and enter
prise cannot fail to infuSe new life and
enthusiasm into the athletic sports.
