BANKS.-We copy below article from the
Globe, showing contraction of bank circulation
since the first of January 1899, of twenty-eght mil
lions of dollars and this says the Globe EES the secret
of the .taI Of prices" The banks have contracted
their circulation and therefore the banks the
of the fall of prices 1t is not the policy of the ad-
nistration but it is epolicy Of the banks that has
reduced the wages of the laboring and the price
of -four I!
When the wretch, who, driven by hunger and des-
pair, robs the highway! is doomed to the Peniten-
airy, what punishment should be inflicted on the mer
ccnary s'hirelng" who receives untold treasure for
advocating measures which have impoverished ma
ton; which have converted afluence into poverty
which robs the widow and the orphan, and clothes
whole. people with sadness?
If one bank discounts freely, that bank is denounc
ed for issuing paper money. If another contracts its
crculation then that bank is denounced because it
reduces wages and lessons the price of flour. Such
is the inconsstency--such the injustice-such the
frauds of the Globe.
What is the motive that can Justify this double
dealing-this blowing hot and this blowing cold with
the same breath. We have the answer in the fact,
that few years ago the Editor of the Globe came to
Washington destitute and penneyess, and is now in
the receipt of money than any other officer of
government. The secret is that he is paid princely
salary-his wages increased and this war, which
ruins every one doubles his income. He gets the
whatever may be the value of money, and as he adj
ms that wages and flour reduced one-half, he is
benefited in the proportion that others are injured
But there is another feature of this article which
should bring down the unmingled of an injured
and insulted community. 1t was not until they had
ascertained that the people opening their eyes
to the effect of the measures of the administration
wages and on prices-it not until the recoil on
the publication of MIR, Buchanans speech, that they
took the new tack. Until then the banks cen
sured for expanding the currencyfor increasing wa
ges and increasing prices Now they turn about and
denounce the banks for reducing wages and diminish
ing prices Such gross inconsistency proves that
they driven to the wall that they that they
have hope but in cheating and deceiving the peo-
pie. 1t proves that they know that they are wrong
1t is for the people to determine how long they viii
have the power to practice on their credulity.

2 The SECRET OF THE FALL PRICES is NOW
ouT-Within year the banks contracted their cir
culation upwards Of twentyeight millions of dollars
or about twenty per cent No war, or rumor of war,
produced this-no failure of the creps-no fsremova
of the deposites"-no E'specie circular"-no "Sub-
Treasury system" Within the period in which this
contraction took place. war regarded
mote contingency to enter into the calculation of
few individuals. Our crops of corn and cotton, and
of every thing else, were most abundant. The notes
of 'especie paying banks were freely received for
public dues and Congress having neglected to pass
law to punish defaulters to provide, In any
ner, for the safe keeping of the public money, the
Government compelled TO deposite much of it in
banks The banks have had every thing their own
way during the past year, and yet, from defects IN
herent in the present banking system, this immense
crtanent of circulation and consequent fall of pr
ces have ensued.
As stated above, the whole effect which banking
operations have had prices, not manifested in as
strong light it would be, if the accounts OF the
banks of each State could be here given separately
they in the Secretary's report. Though there
has been great contraction, taking the country
throughout, yet in districts there has been an
immense expansion In Mississippi, for example, the
crculaton according to the returns nearest Janu
airy, 1883, IL millions, and according to the
turns nearest to January, 1S40, it Is millions,
showing increase of about rs per cent. In Ohio,
the contrary in June, 1889, the circulation was
S6,sS5 ,263 and in January, 1s40 was only 81 4O7
127, showing decrease Of nearly 80 per cent in the
short period of six months.
As near as can be ascertained the bank circulation
in those parts of the country in which specie pay
ments have been maintained that is in New England
New York and Ohio, was on the LIST of January last
only S34, 1872, against S46 924 21 the LIST Of
January, 1889, showing diminution of upwards Of

amount. In the remaining States and Territories the
bank circulation was, nearly can be ascertain

COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHA-
BOWS BEFORE THEd-The following letter is
of many proofs of the alarm which pervades the
federal party 1t is striking illustration ofthe truth
of what have written in relation to party names
''You may rest assured" says Colonel Benton s'here
is compromising in me, and chat we viii do you
justce-that is we win use the federal patronage
to break down the spirit of the people, and to keep
oltrSeIUes in Office. No shall hold office, not
even postmaster who does not prostitute it to the
of the federal party. This is important let
ter, and, when we remember that MIR. Benton is a
candidate for the succession, forms important event
in the progress of parties. What insult is it to
the freemen of this country to suppose that their
agents cam by any combination divide the offices and
Cypress the people Mr. Benton would place parti-
sans and parasites of federalism in every post office.
How different was the language of MIR. Jeicrson.-
When he came into Office, he issued circular,
which he said SIT is deemed improper for officers,
depending the Erecltjee oftbe Union, TO attempt
to control influence the free exercise Of The Fec
tire right" Mr.. Benton would turn out of Office
cry who is not partisan, and that those who
in office may be driven to do more of his dirty
work. he tells them that he viii compromise with
one. He would remove esfcTty tliousdndr' Every
one who is not for him, must go! Well, we very
much mistake the people ofNIissour if Colonel Ben
ton does not find who will refuse to do his bid
ding-and he may remove as many as he can, and
while he may. General Harrison can replace such
as are improperly removed, and he also turn out
such as abuse the places they unworthy to fill
And we venture to predict that he will neither lack
the will or the nerve to do his duty.

is upwards of SO millions, at the rate of about 80
per cent.
We have arrived at the condition in which we were
in 1919, 1920 and 1921; that is to say, when Mr.
Crawford remarked, the currency was in many parts
of the country, not only unsound in quality, but de-
hcient in quantity Such, from time to time, must
necessarily be the case, if the present banking system
is TO continue without amendment The formergre
revulsion took place under National Bank. The
present has occurred without A recurrence of
such evils can be prevented in no other way than by
a complete reform of our present banking system;
and that reform not by National Bank, which
perience has shown to be either unable unwilling
to prevent such revulsions.

governed its predecessors for quarter of
