1NI)1M4APOL.i , July 24. - Chairman
hush 11. hlanna of the monetary commin-
sion has prepareti a statement addressed to
the business men of the Uniteil States set-
hag forth the results of the work of the
commission during the last session of con-
gross. lie says :
"The present status of the undertaking
to ecuro a comlrchicnslve currency law Is
encouraging beyond what was expected. In
truth , the remarkable prompt appreciation
of the value of organized effort anti the re-
ahizatton that the opportunity Is at hunch bus
resulted in very gratifying progress.
"The lull as finally agreed upon and to-
iorted to the house has been very generally
approveil by almost everyone supporting the
effort to accomplish comprehensive mono-
tnry legislation. The bill Includes au of the
vital elements recommended by the moo-
etary commission , but the detail of the
method differs In some respects radically.
On the whole the bill reported by the coin.
mittee is a greater step In the right direc.
tion than the business men of the country
hail reason to expect would lie had in this
early stage in the progress of the work.
"The passage of this bill wilt be the be.
ginning of a law for the lest currency in
the world , Of course it. is possibie and probable -
able that there may be objection to the do-
( lotahls of the bill and changes made before
approved by both houses of congress , but
the encouragement is so great that all busi-
hess men who recognize the extraordinary
opportunity are warranted In absolute unity
of effort henceforth , to the Ihtial success of
the consummation.
"Tho avoidance of dissension In discussion -
sion among the friends of this character of
legislation upon the question of consideration -
tion seemed desirable , anti it became a ques-
tioti of expediency. While appreciating time
force and Influence upon tile next election
that would surely have followed If an nffir-
inative action could have been had iluring
the session Just closed the committee is glad
to assert that at this period , everything
considered , the present status Is probably
more favorable to ultimate holsiatloti than
would have been the case had a number of
the leading republicans in the house ills-
approved the action sought during time sos-
sn. To measure the present condition It
Is only necessary to say that there is every
reason to believe that the iiroslmhent and all
the leading adnilnititration republican con-
gressmefl and senators and the lfiO members
of the house who signed time petition now
stand united in sulport of the general principles -
ciples of the committee bill. There Is every
reason to believe that Mr. Ieeti will be an
earnest advocate of the monetary legisla-
then.
"There is every reason for the members
of this organizatIon to entertain posItive
hope anti to arouse the toast dcterminctl
spirit anti effort to continue the struggle
so unr.mittIngiy and so successfully made
to this stage of the work. It was well un-
derstooti that. the effort made for action iii
the lower house during time session just
closed as for the particular purpose of
itiaking a demonstration of good faith on
the part of that branch of congress.
' 'This it Wfl5 believed wOuiI , inspire new
hope au. . ! unite business men of the eoun-
try In an effort to secure in the November
