CLICVKLAND, () The address
of .Sccrctaiy cf the Treasury Leslie
SI. Shaw, was tbo feature of one of
tbo morning session of tbo conven
tion of tho Ohio Bankers' associa
tion. Ho urged that a more clastic
curreuov sjbtcm bo adopted. .Mr.
Shnv said in part:
"Tho fact, and J think It is a
fact, that tho United .States has the
best uurroucy system in the woild,
does not imply that tho currency
system of tho United States is per
fect or that it cannot ho Improved
It is as safe as any system in tbo
world occatise it is established em
tho only safe basis known to man
tbc gold standard.
"Tt is tho most convenient system
In tho world bocauso it is con
structed on tho decimal or metric
system. It is not necessary to carry
a lightning calculation in order to
make change.
"Tbo system Is not perfect lurgcly
bocauso it is non-elastic. It falls to
respond In volume to tho changing
needs of seasons and of localities.
Attention has been called to this
many times and by many people.
That Micro will be no further cur
rency legislation until we shall ix
peiionccd a panic occasioned by this
want.of elasticity 1 am convinced.
rJ ho country docs not appreciate tho
danger, and until tho danger is fully
understood no remedy will bo ap
plied. Wo came nearer such a panic
September , '10, 1892, than most peo
ple people appreciate. The fact that
wo then escaped does not raise a
presumption that wo will um.iy
escape it. A glaring eiefect at a
vital point will soaio lime, soon or
later, assert Itself, iliaatime a
remedy should to discovered, dis
ctissod and as far as possible agreed
upon, bo that it may bo promut'y
applied when tbo ivor' aro riadv
for it.
"Annually wo hvc m excess el
monoy daring tho spring aud slim
mer mouths. Annually wo pass
through a period of anxiety ns we
aprcach the period of crop moving
for annually the volume of money Is
rei.it vtly Insuftlcicnt to meet this
sudden increase of busiaess.
"Wo do not nr.edund rnustJnot
have inflation. I he average amount
of mney Js, in my Judgment,
abundant. Tho dillieulty lies in the
fact that the volume remains
sti' ionary.
f'Now what shall bo the remedy?
Shall it bo asst currency? in the
popular acceptanco of tue tirm, I
arswerno! Asset corrcn y as com
monly understood would mean inlla
lion, anei that we must r ot have.
Asssr, currency as commonly under
stood wmlJ bo supported only by
the so'vonov of tbc bank of issue.
Tint must not bo.
".Shall It be emergency currency'
In tbo popular acceptance of that
term J. answer nol The United
States originate morocurnn y thin
any other country on tho map, but
our chief commorlcal city Is not the
world's clearing house. It ought to
tie, but It I rrt. One nas n why
I is nut is the fact that it bun
so ftime3 res irteel to clearing house
certiileates, which is a plea or guilty
tn an Indictment charging bad man
agement locally or bad legislation
nationally, and tho financial world
charges b th. Clearing houo cer
tificates must never be authorized by
law. LeO those who love our ounbry
and ttiosa who conserve her credit
set their faces e gainst such a course
with tl.o same intensity as t'icy re
sist the froo and unlimited ndnaije
of silver Clearing houses : rtlli
calas elotas3 0ur currency with tuo
con.S2t)t of tin aa who aro suppos el
to bo the best llnanokrs tn thf
nation. The free coinage of sihor
would debase It tiough political up
heavel. Tho threat of both 1 doubt
not, contributes to that distrust
which piv vents International bal
ances in America. Wiutovor the
remvdy shall bo, it must net adver
tise our calamity or our anxiety.
"Among the many remedies sug
g?sted, nonn appealed to me as
ftiongly as tho authorhation of ad
ditional national bank circulation.
ThU m-bhotl Involves tho right of
national banks to increase their
