16 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 SAMPLE SENT FREE 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. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Men tion The Rome Tribune and send • your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing bampton, N. Y. The proprietors of the paper guarantee the genuineness of the offer. 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.

This Nov. 24, 1897, Halsted Smith, Clerk of Council, City of Rome, 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. Homer Kennedy. Curran. Scott £ Co.
