Atkinson and M. Jaliii Malt* Flue AUtlrcsst'.s on Ute important snii !<'<?< rite iit Haiti UluictnlllHtN Desire lu Kularge tue World's AW rennt? ol Money. Atlanta. Oct. 17.?The American 1 tankers* Association elected ollicers to-.luv. E. H. Pullen, ot New Vork, was chosen president anil It. .) Lowrey. of Atlanta, was made vice-president. The features t..-<iuy were th?. speeches made by \Y. I* St. John, of Now York, ami Edward Atkinson, of Boston. Mr. st. .lohn made a strong argu? ment for a double standard and tin- op? ening of tie- minis again to sliver. Ho is one of the f, \v silver men of the as? sociation. Mr. Atkinson spoke first as follows: Mr Atkinson said lie thought exist? ing laws wer.- adequate, and that as tim? pani.- lias BUtllced, public opinion will sustain effective action. ??The true on.- is a simple ami ready one." In- concluded. "The Treasury may provide Itself with gold by the sale of bonds, so as to enable It in co-opera lloti with the national banks to meet any possible demand <>f the people for tin- redemption of Governments notes as fast as they are presented. In that event, If the volume of paper money Is redundant, It will be reduced by re? demption; if it is not redundant it will continue in circulation. Three sales of bonds have been made with this view, but tin- 11 rat two sales did not accom? plish the purp. so. because tin- notes re? deemed on th.. one hand were paid out on th,. other, enusjnc tin- deficiency In the public revenue. The revenue being now equal t?> the expenditure:;, notes which are presented for payment in coin are not und cannot reissued, even It' they are not cancelled. They are and must lie pill aside subject to future cancellation Whenever authority there t i shall I-.- given by Cottgri ss. A be? ginning has. therefore, been made in the only adequate and permanent method of removing our present evil monetary systyh by redeeming the excess ol Government hates without re Isstie. "I t- ild that n is not only th.- privi? lege, but the duty ,.f (he National banks !?? place till th. It- gold at tin- command ? ?I tin- Treasury; in other words, the Treasury is but one of the National hanks of Issue, and being tin- bank of largest Issue upon its absolut., solvency and power to meet every demand fur prompt redemption rests not only it>, ? ?wit credit, but that of all th.- National hanks alike! If the hanks cannot trust the Treasury what is their own credit worth? If they ?:.? not i.I their gold with the gold ill the Tr? a.-tuy s.. as t protect the nation's credit and disnstei ehsties, what are the securities worth and what would their own loss hei Their Interests are inseparable und n seems to me that National hank ofllcerr who tio not recognise this fact ami a. t upon it are strangely I.lind to their own duties, t.. their own stockholders ami to the public. M "It Is time in my Judgment for some one lo say plainly the national hanks have not boon free from blame in these troubled tithes, They now have the opportunity lo justify their title <?! national, and If I hey fail to meet it Ihey should I..- deprived of that tltloj "It is tint.- that this ample reserve of gold should h.- so used as to sustain the trousury. in fact, tie- withholdingI of this gold by banks Is a potent itattse of the distrust <>r the ability of' tin- treasury to maintain gold pay? ments." Mr. St. .lohn, who Is president of the! Mercantile National Hank. New Vork, replying to Mr. Atkinson, said that lie cording to Mr. Atkinson, current ah Ingnolsma as to money an- duo to a dis? tinctly different school (.f tlnance. Mr. St John calls one tin- speculative, or uchool of plausibility, and says he is a pupil of th.- historical pchool. ami says that lump gold and gold colli are equiv? alents as Mr. Atkinson says: hut adds thai the reason is ihe law which grants gold the right of conversion into coin lie remarked on Mr. Atkinson's demand tor the t. p.-a! of legal tenders laws that It would h-ave coiuis in- power to en? force contracts, because thew would lack authority to determine what is money. Ho also Raid that Holland put the scheme to the lest by net of lsT-l and the gold coins wore wit lean the legal tender function would nol circulate as money. H<- condemned Mr. Atkinson's charge of Injustice to the creditor In granting tin- debtor the option ,.f coins with which to |ay. and declared that th.- debtor choosing th.- more abundant gives value to It* by use. and deprived the scarce of value to thnt extent by lack "f use. Th. operation in many ami large transactions, said he. is to reduce the value of the scarce, while enlarg? ing the value of tin- aim: dailt, with a constant attraction of two t>> parity as the consequence and quoted the expe? rience ol France to confirm this prac tlcally. He said thai Hie market price of sil? ver relative to mud was kept at about lhe Pi.-neb mint price, lust as saftly whi n the annual production of silver was titty t linos ilu- production of gold as when It was only six limes the annual production of cold, and claimed lo have answered Shaw's history of cur? rency on these points. Mr. st. .lohn Faid ho thought the United States had a sufficient use for inoncv 'to do what France could do. lie resented the sug? gestion of a silver Lasts in the United States as a result of reopening the mints to silver, hut nald that If the sil? ver basis ensues it .tnnv enable us to duplicate the experience of India. In? da..-- foreign commerce, according to Mr. St. .lohn, establishes a credit bai hhi.' of trade approaching $190,.,000 in n year, which pays her cold liabilities of $111,000,000 and draws Jji.uuj.uuu tst ail ?or. Tho suggested ex haust less sup iliea o< silver are in be ine?, hu claliu ?t). with a supposed exhaustlesa supply ? f until in IS53; he claimed thai the ibject "f bimetallism Is t.> enlarge the vorld's aggregate of money, while the world's nggragutQ of everything else is enlarging, and Bald that tin- tendvne.' of that will be to provide prdducets a tali sbnreof the wealth which t' ? > pro? duce, the result being a tendency in law toward the dissemination liilher than toward the aggravation of wealth lie declared that the hankers have '?*>??

Mr. Si. John n gards this essential lo tin safety of the securities on which loans art made. Ho said parity between our gold ami silver money is not preserved by ii deeming sliver coin ami certificates In gold, hut by the operation of the legul tender function of tho dollar In view of our great demand for money.

Fitzsimfm ris has nothing to gain by meeting Corbi tt in a contest where there is a doubt of gaining a decision." Th- Governor talked pleasantly Put drnily, und the Impression ho left was that In- meant every word he said, and that unless something Intervenes to prev ent htm from doing, ho will declare martial law. He paid Judge Du file a high compliment, saying- "He st.I like an old Roma It in the committee loom and would not consent that th" proposed contest should go on. refusing to yield ot withdraw a word or Syllable from Hie demand made upon ihe t'.ov? ert, or to save Gat land county from dls grai ?? that is proposed to he put upon it by haling a prize fight within Us bor? ders." The Governor staled thai his office was crowded from morning until night with visitors from all sections of the State, wie. wer?! pleading with him to stop tin- intended light.
