The hard work of the club cbf intrusted to a committee or? sound m0 rrency-, of which John DeWitt arner, formerly Representative in ingress, is chairman, and Calvin mpkins is secratcry. They were npclled only tho other day to TI ;uro their present commodious artcrs in order to carry on the 1 laude against free silvei. ~IJU The club believes that the present ic-silver crazo is due largely to the lorance of the masses on nnanni.il .1 cations, and that the quietest way te^ check the fallacy and make sound jju rrcncy legislation possible is to ed- ?ul ute the voters by carefully prepared ^ut pers and pamphlets from the p^ns qj, wcllknown writers on the currency Qgj. periences of this and other countries ajj tis is the work which the committee sjjj sound currency has undertaken. rro rron W.

The reports received at the soun >ney headquarters show that tl uation is serious, as regards soun >ney views, throughout the Unite utes.
