SHOULD BE AS SECURE AS BRITISH CASH Minister Bees No Rtsiss Why United State Currency Should Not Bo a Widely Used aa Eai Ush LiifUge, CHICAOO, Dec. 20. Secretary Shaw was the principal speaker at a meeting of the Bankers' club here this afternoon. He said In part: 1 want to emphasize the necessity for an element of elasticity In our currency. It has been said that our present system Is nor.elarttlc. This is true In the sense which the term is employed, but In another sens It Is a mistake. Unfortunately, however, the volume contracta just when it should expand and expands when it should con tract. This Is not captious criticism. It Is the naked truth. There to lust as much need for contrac tion when money is not legitimately needed as there Is tor expansion when more money Is required. And unless contraction can be Induced expansion Ik Impossible. What are the essentials of an elastlo currency? First, its prompt retirement when not needed; second. Its equally prompt reissuance when needed. And un less you have the one you cannot have the other. The one is an essential protection against Inflation. The other la the best safeguard against stringency. Currency sufficient to do the business of the country la not Inflated. A redundant currency, be that much or little. Is always dangerous. Some have suggested the Issuance of cur rency based upon deposits of state and municipal bond, lnatead of government bonds, but thla would leave the aystem aa Inelastic as at present. W hat la needed la the right to Issue a limited amount of cur rency without encroaching unon the avail able funda or the assets already In the bank, but with such safeguards aa will In sure Its absolute safety and Its prompt re tirement when the demand ceases. This cannot be accomplished under the present system of national bank circula tion. Honda are too scarce and the price too high, and there Is no way either to in duce additional circulation when the de mand Inereaees, or Its retirement when In terest rates are low. The gradual liquida tion of the government debt Is reducing the amount of bonds available for circulation. It. therefore, follows either that the Idea of having an elastic currency must be abandoned, and in order to maintain that which we have the government debt must be perpetuated and more bonde Issued as needed, or some new scheme must be evolved. If the banks are to Issue any cir culation whatever, It must te secured either by sparine assets, like government bunds, deposited wltb the treaaury, or by All Wool Trousers, HADE TO ORDER, S3.50 No more bo loss.

It Is gratifying to know that both houees of congress are giving the question careful consideration and that the prospect of some relief in the near If not Immediate future la promising. When the recommen dations in the president's message are ful filled and all our forms of money are ex changable at par for the established stan ds rd 25.8 grains of gold for every dollar, our financial centers will be able to com pete successfully with tnose of foreign countries as International ctearlng houses. And If in addition United States currency shall follow the flag the time Is not far distant when the prices current of all Aala will be wiltten In United States money. Porto Rico eufTered temporarily by a changed standard, but It took no longer to learn the purchasing power of the different denominations of United States money than It would to have learned a new system. Surely the world has as many kinds of money as It needs, but It has none so con venient as United States money. Let United Statea money be made as se cure as the British pound and Its employ ment In the commerce of the world will be come as universal as the use of the English language. They are both the natural aer vanta of commerce. OFFICIAL SMUGGLERS HELD Porto Rico Authorities Arrcat Club Officials for Breach of Cos torn Laws. BAN JUAN, P. R.. Dec. 20.

NICARAUGA CANAL Senator Morgan Says Panama Ditch Will Never Be Dug. COLOMBIAN CONGRESS MUST PASS TREATY Republic Haa Had No Parliament for Four Years and Now Has No Money with Which to Pay Legis lative Expenses, WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. After a session of less than three hours the senate today adjourned until January 5. Today's session was largely given up to an address by Senator Morgan on the lath' mtan canal. He declared It to be In the Interest of ths United Statea to resume negotiations with Nicaragua and Cost Rica with the view of utilizing the Nlearaguan route, aa he believed the Panama treaties would never be negotiated. A number of bills were passed and the conference report providing tor the payment of the expenses of the anthracite coal strike commission waa agreed to. Only twenty-seven senators were In their seats when the senate was called to order. Mr. Allison of the senate conferees on the coal strlks arbitration bill presented the report of the conference committee. He explained that the senate amendment fixing definite sum for the expenses and com pensation of the commissioners and em ployee and taking the question out of tho hands of the president bad been retained, but that the sentte conferees had yielded to the house to the extent of allotting $13 per day to the commissioners for expenses Instead of $10 as fixed by the senate. The report waa agreed to. Mr. Lodge from the committee on finance presented the currency bill and gave notice that as the measure Is Important he would call it up during the morning hour of ths senate at the earliest moment. He expressed the opinion that ths bill would not lead to prolonged debates. A bill authorizing the payment of Judg- ments amounting to $1,000,000, on account a of property . In Hawaii In connection with the bubonic plague epi demic In 1899, also passed. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr, Patterson (Colo.), requiring railroad corn- panie. to supply to the Intarsutt Com- mrce commission data as to brakes, was adopted Mr. Morgan (Ala.) consumed ths re mainder of the session in discussing ths isthmisn canal. He demanded the ratification ot contracts entered Into by President McKInley with Costa Rica and Nicaragua, the negotiations for which hs characterised aa maaterful. Proceeding, hs eapreesed apprehension that if the United States did not avail Itself of the opportunity to conatruct a canal by ths Nicaragua routs nons would bs built. Hs called attention to the fact that under the Colombian law only congress could rat ify a treaty. There had been no congreaa In Colombia alnce 1891 and there waa not likely to bs ons soon unless ths Panama canal company paid its expenses out ot tho $3,000,000 on hand or the $40,000,000 prom ised by ths United States. He therefore expressed apprehension that say treaty that might bs accepted in the United jitate would fall through In Colombia. "It would go forth like a wandering dove." bs said, "to return ao on knowa when." Mr. Morgan concluded shortly sfter t, I when the senats want into sxecutlv ses sion, and at t-to adjourned until January 6.
