THE PEOPLE AND THE; CURRENCV.

In dealing with the (Complicated and difficult question of the reform of our banking and currency laws it is plain that we ought to consult very many persons besides the bankers, not because we distrust the bankers, but because they do not necessarily comprehend the business of the country, Notwithstanding they are indispensable servants of it and may do a vast deal to make it hard or easy. No mere bankers’ plan will meet the requirements, ne matter how honestly conceived. It shopld be a merchants’ and farmers’ plan as well, elastic in the hands of those who use it as an indispensable part of their daily business. —From Woodrow Wilson’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination.
