Ft. Louts, Nov. 9. Wltli emphasis
ern stronger than ho used In his Chi
cago speech, Senator Aldrleh mado It
cMdent to the business men of St.

Blnglciiilndedncss to tho ono work or
reforming tho currency system of tho
United Stntos. Ho spoke briefly before
n limited gathering of bankers nt the
Noondny club, and more extended!
Inst night In the presence of the full
membership of the Commerclnl club.
If he wns looking for encouragement
nt so early n day in tho proceedings of
tho commission, he must have been
grntlfled by the demonstrations of tho
two occasions. None appeared with
any plans of their own; nor did any
commit themselves to nny policy, but
so far as there was expression, all
seemed convinced that changes were
necessary, and there wns apparent a
general willingness to lend all possi
ble assistance In the preparation of n
better bnnklng system.
"I do not come to you with nny plan
of monetary reform," snld Senator Aid
rich. "I realize, as I know all you
do, the absolute necessity of reform
ing the currency, If It Is to be re
formed, upon the brondest national
lines. The work that Js to be done
cannot be done by any one mnn nor
by any set of men; It cannot bo done
by any ono party, nor in the interest
of nny one section. It cannot be done
without the aid of the country at
large."
