SIttW ON FINANCIAL FLURRY
Former Secretary Blames Extrava
gance and Speculation.
MUCH MONEY ' IS HOARDED
F. fleet of Clearing; House Certificates
Has Been to Decrease Instead of
Increase Clrcnlatlou Speech
Made in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Extravagant living
by the American people, a plethora of undi
gested securities and too widespread de
nunciation of American business methods
were blamed for the financial stringency
by Leslie M. Bhaw, president of the Car
negie Trust company of New York and
former secretary of the treasury, In a
speech here tonight. Mr. Shaw was the
principal speaker at a banquet given by
the National business league In the Audi
torium annex. Several hundred guests. In.
eluding the commercial leaders of Chicago
and vicinity, listened to his speech. They
also heard read a letter from Becrotary
Root and were addressed by . Jacob M.
Dickinson and others.
Secretary af Btate Koot, regretting his
Inability to be present wrote as follows:
While the State department Is actively
engaged In many ways and many direc
tions in striving to pry open and hold open
the doors or me entrance ot American
commerce and to make Its progress and
extension easy, I do not believe in too
much government. The limitation upon
what government eirort can ou and ougtit
to do are very clear. The real work mum
be done by the buainess men of the I'nlted
States themselves. The really great tiiinKS
in this country have been accomplished in
the true American fashion, by one . as
sociation of Individual private i nterprlsc.
There Is one thing that I hope your
meeting will do. Thai Is to make a vigor
ous protest against the continuance of tho
practice by which our government makes
a large profit by means of giving the
country a cheap and Ineffective foreign
mall service, if congress will allow the
postmaster general to spend the money that
he gets from ocean postage In carrying
ocean malls we can have a service that
will enable our producers to Increase and
extend their business in Houth and Central
America and on the Pacific.

secretary of the treasury, was rend. He
expressed his regTets at being kept In
Washington by press of official business,
congratulated the league, nnd added: "The
government confidently looks to you for
hearty support and co-operation In Its
efforts to re-cstabllsh normal conditions."
Mr. Shaw's Speech.
Former Secretary Shaw said in part:
The financial and business conditions with
which we are confronted have not resulted
from crop failures, Idle factories, unpro
ductive mines or dishonest management of
business enterprise und flnanclul institu
tions. They are tho logical, and therefore
the inevitable, result of several causes.
Tho Aniurlcan people have been living
extravagantly and this practice has bicomo
well-nigh universal, and applies as much to
tho west as to the east. Holdness in busi
ness lias also been the rule, in the agri
cultural stales men have purchased lands,
paying purl cash, nnd have felt perfectly
safo with a mortguge representing 60 per
cent of the prospective value, city and
suburban property has been purchutwd In
the same way. Cithers have purchased
well-known and liigh-Knide stocks and
bonds as investments, but have borrowed
a part of the purchase price. Timber, coal
lands and mining enterprises have been
capitalized, and every locality, east and
west, north and south, has aided In their
flotation. Commercial, industrial and elec
tric railway enterprises have been pro
jected, and securities thus created have
found a ready market In riiral as well ns
In urban communities. Meantime, every
one has denounced the speculator and none
have been more generous of criticism than
those most guilty.
While all this is true, I tltoroughlv b'
lleve the country has grown In conserva
tism during the last few years nnd that
there nre less undigested securities on the
market and fewer ill-considered financial
and business enterprises in process of
projection than at any previous time dur
ing the last seven years. I'nlversal pros
perity such as we have enjiiyed for ten
years necessarily develops manv venturo
some spirits, but the country has certainly
been slowing down for at least twelve
months. These conditions, therefore. In
and of themselves would have been suf
ficient to produce a panic.
KtTect of Clearing Certificates.
After discussing further the causes of
the flurry and several remedies that have
been suggested, Mr. Shaw concluded:
It 1 doubtful whether the country will
take kindly to a legalized clearing house
certificate. After everything has been said
In Justification of the present well nigh
unlversHl resort thereto, It must he remem
bered that Its uso has not Invited money
back into circulation, but Just the reverse.
No sooner was the clearing house certifi
cate resorted to than people ceased to !

posit currency. Merchants are now keep
ing every dollar of currency they get. They
deposit only checks. I feur the same effect
would follow a resort to rcKulnrly author-Izi-d
clearing1 house certificates or uny other
novel and unuxual form of currency.
The desire t. avoid nn element of foar
Is the controlling reason why I have so
muny times advocated additional national
bank circulation identical In appearance
with the ordinary. If guaranteed by tho
government, there is tin reason why th
fiubllc should have notice Inat a stringency
ins arisen, making resort thereto advisable,
not to say necessary. So long as the pub'do
needs can bo' supplied without endangering
anyone, no advantage can bu gained by
holHtlnt; a dajiKcr signal.
N-lther do 1 think tho country will take
kindly to nny plan which places relief meas
ures Bolely in the hands of city hanks.
While there , is no animosity between clt?
and country, neither bus any conception of
the needs of the other, and neither will
willingly depend upon the other for deliver
ance from impending financial dungers.
