Tile Building Association* Pas* Resolutions ou tae Money Ouestion. At the annual meeting of the United States League of Local Building Associations held in Philadelphia. July 23, the following resolution ou the money question was adopted: .The United States League of Local Building and Loan Associations, in convention assembled, declares: 1. That it is the sense of this meeting that the interest of all shareholders of building and loan associations in the United States demands that the present standard of value upon which our monetary system has been based since the resumption of specie payments in 1878 shall remain unchanged and inviolate. 2. That we believe that the interest of every class in the community. and especially those of the great wage-earning class, imperatively demands that the present standatdof .value whether coin or paper, shall be eqii-il in value to every other. 3. That patriotism demands that the "‘dollar” bearing the m\nt mark of the United States shall be the equal of the dollar of the most advanced nations and entitled to full faith and credit all over the world: and to that end it must.be maintained free frofii all suspicion, debasement, or repudiation.
