Ho said In part : "Losses from bad debts are by far the most dangerous ot all those things which tend to sap the surplus tlat and dividends of banks. The estimated figures atui ures of losses from this source are appalling and would be still more so If they could bo ! eflnttoly ascertained. The confidential itatement of his condition by the borrower 3 a long stop toward that close relationship lilch should exist between the banker and Is ollent. "A committee on country clearing houses as been appointed to take up the question t collection of country checks. Bankers ivcrywhcro arc aroused to the fact that this important source ot profit , the charge for ollectton , has been neglected and revenue Tactically given away. While the low narglns of profit from Interest continue , he expenses of running the business keep p. Charges for collection should be en- orced In justice to all. We expect from the : onimlttee referred to substantial progress n this direction. The field Is Ideal. A state divided Into groups to be subdivided Into tearing houses for country checks uniform ichedules of rates , with pro rata participa tor ! In profits. f think our association Is now large nough and strong enough to begin to co operate with other state associations system atically on the broad questions which Interest us all and I suggest this for your consldara- lon as n part ot next year's work. THE MONEY QUESTION. "In the great question of the day , the ques .Ion of currency , the question of money , the association has shown a wholesome though not yet aggressive Interest. I am of the opinion that our group meetings should hereafter after Include discussions of the currency and of the public events affecting commerce , to which the public will bo Invited. The bankers may thus do their part toward the education of the people , and be Instrumental I n bringing about that stability and scientific character so sadly lacking In our banking and financial system , and without which a vast part of our wealth , of products and of labor , are constantly wasted , and our whole commercial structure subjected to periodical llaaslcr. Tlio subject of the currency has been discussed at the various group meet ings , the members have been studying upon It I nnd the horizon has been clearing. The banker 18 trained from his earliest Inception In the business to regard strict honesty as tbe one qualification , without which nothing else Is for a moment to bo considered. If the. bank clerk at tbo very lowest round of the ladder shows the least symptom of Its lack ho Is , or should be , dropped from his position. As ho advances , trustworthiness becomes moro and moro tlio element to bo looked for , and when he reaches ofllcershlp the trust ot the com munity nnd of his associates In his strict Integrity is tno gauge of his advance. Honesty la the bulwark of permanent prosperity. Kingdoms not founded upon It nro swept away by adversity. Enter prises which seek to avoid Us stringent provisions are forced into dissolution. The nation whose currency lacks the clement ment of honesty Is doomed to commercial and monetary miasma , and disease through out the entire period , durng | which that lack continues. Dishonest currency la the hot bed of poisonous sedition , revolution and bloodshed. " PROFITS OF THE SYNDICATE. Reports were presented by Treasurer James L. Cannon ot New York , Secretary Charlw Adslt ot Hornellsvllle and also by the council of administration. An address was made by Brayton Ives , president of the Western Na tional bank ol New York City , on "The Bond Contracts. " Referring to the profits of the syndicate Mr. Ives said : "It Is not likely that under the most favorable conditions the expenses will bo less than Vi per cent , so that the cost ot the bonds will be $1.00 and the measure ot profits will be the difference between this price and $1.12V4 , the figure at which tbe bonds were sold. Inasmuch as & per cent Is a customary banker's commission for the placing ot a large loan , It can not bo con sidered that 6 % per cent Is an excessive profit In this case , especially In view of possible additional expenses. "It Is true that a considerable portion of the syndicate subscribed for the bonds when they were Issued at public , sale and bought 11 such * amounts as were allotted to them. But they were simply exercising the same privi lege as was given to all. " A paper by Mr. E. B. Walker of Toronto , president of the Canadian Banking association , was also read. In It comparison was made of the Canadian sys tem of banking with that of tbo United States , as well as the Baltimore and Carlisle plans , Mr. Walker holding that the Canadian plan was more advantageous to bankers , merchants and the general ccmmunlty at large than the others. WAS WILLING TO LKNI ) JUS GUI.U llusilu's Itulor JMndo a Friendly Ufter to the United Stilton. CHICAGO , July 10. A special from Wash ington to the Post says : Discussion of the gold reserve In the treasury and , the action past and probable of the Morgan-Rothschild bond syndicate brought to light today that Czar Alexander III. of Russia offered to loan the United States all the gold necessary to maintain the reserve at any figure desired. The friendly tender was declined by Presi dent Cleveland because , after several weeks of consideration and telegraphic correspondence spondence- back and forth between Washing ton , and St. Petersburg , It was decided that the president had not the authority to Issue bonds or otherwise Incur Indebtedness on be half of the government. Since then the power of the president and the secretary of the treas ury lias been determined and It the offer were again made by the present Russian ruler It might bo accepted. The story of the proposition made by the czar and the way It was received by the president and his advisors was ono ot the best kept secrets of the white bouse. Although the Incident occurred some two years ago , no hint at It haa reached the public until now. It , WRS onie time In May , 1S93 , that the State department was surprised by the re ceipt of a communication from Andrew I ) . White , the American minister at St. Peters burg , outing that the ctnr had , through M. Do t Uteri , offered to the president ot the United sutM any Amount ot gold required to carry the treasury over through the pend ing crisis. Help wax uecJod at that time. Tha now administration had been In power but a tow month ; ! nnd the llnmtclnl question was pressing on Mr. Cleveland for lolutlnn. The \YIUon bill had b n framed but not pasted nnd the business ot the country WAI already suffering from the depression which later 1 grew Into ft commercial and financial ptnlc. The goU reserve In the treasury was being depleted steadily nnd rapidly by the monthly purchases ot silver bullion under tha . Sherman law , and the receipts at gold from customs had fallen ofT ro that each month aw the treasury drained of Its gold. The country was clamoring for relief and the president \\as considering the advisability ot : alllng congress together In nn oxtrn session which ho did subsequently to legislate on Hie llnnnclal situation and to repeal the Sherman - man law. law.OFFER OFFER FORMALLY MADE. It was In the midst of such a situation ihat Secretary ot State On-sham presented nt a cabinet mevtlnn ono morning the letter ho had received from Minister White. The czar's offer ot assistance was direct but simple. Mr. White stated In hit official communication to tliu State department that | ho ' had been called upon by M. Da Glcrs , who said the czar luul instructed him to confer with the American representative at the court of St. Petersburg and to. Inform him that the czar stood ready fa make a personal loan to the president ot the United States ot gold to the amount of $60OOI > .000 , or ns much moro as might be doilrcd , at a nominal rate of Interest and for an Indefinite period ot Urn * . The Interest asked was a fraction moro than 2 per cent. Nothing was said about security , and U was evident that Alex ander III. believed that the president could take this money nnd apply It to the need of the United States treasury with but little formality and that he had the power to do o. It was a generous manifestation of the goad will of the Russian czar toward the United States and n striking Illustration ot his do- slro to assist this country In any way. As It mny be supposed , the letter produced a great sensation In the cabinet. The presi dent was much affected by this evidence of esteem on the part of so powerful a per sonage as the autocrat of all the Russlits. There was something besides the friendly re lations ot the two nations Involved In the offer. The czar Intended his tender of financial help as a personal compliment to the president ot the United States. Tile president nnd the cabinet debated the propo sition long and earnestly. Secretary ot the Treasury Carlisle was In favor of accepting the loan , but ha doubted the power of the president nnd himself to make debts for the government without special authority of con gress. The matter was discussed at every cabinet meeting for n week or two nnd mecntlmo there was much telegraphic corre spondence between Washington and St. Petersburg relative to the conditions on which the Russian emperor proposed to make the loan ot this enormous aum. After all communications had been re ceived nnd the Russian monarch's offer had been laid before the cnblnct , It was evident that the czar was not bothering himself about the manner or method ot the trans- actJon. Reduced to Its simplest terms , the czar's offer was that ho would advance ns much gold as the United States treasury might require and would accept as security therefor President Cleveland's personal note until such time as congress should convene and authorize the Issue ot bonds. SIMPLY THROUGH FRIENDSHIP. In short , the czar wished to help the United States with a loan ot $50,000,000 or moro and he was not particular whether he received any security or not. It was to be a personal matter- with him nnd It was plain that he did not quite understand why the president did not treat It In the same way. One nation needed' money and the ruler ot a friendly country proposed to lend the chief executive of the distressed people money to help them. It was Just a friendly act re quiring In the opinion of the czar no red tape or circumlocutory officialism. But President Cleveland and his cabinet felt , after , carefully considering the proposition In all Its aspects , they could not accept It. The State department therefore BO notified Min ister White , who In turn Informed M. do Qlcrs that the American president , while profoundly grateful for the czar's kind offer , was prevented by law from Incurring obliga tions of this kind without the consent ot congress. The majority ot the cabinet was In favor of taking the czar's loan and the president looked kindly upon the proposition. There Is no doubt but for the legal objec tions raised by ono ot the lawyers In the cabinet the loan would have been accepted and ono probable result would have been the reduction In the rate of Interest on large loans , especially to nations. It Is not Improbable that when the ar rangement with the Morgan-Rothschild syndicate shall , have expired the government may apply to the Russians for a loan should one be necessary. Alexander Is not on the throne now , but It Is said that Emperor Nicholas Is quite as ardent an admirer of the United States as was his distinguished father. 1 ZMJ/MOA-ir . E. K.
