THE CALL LOAN.

The nodus operamdi of the new financial meas
ure Just promulgated by the Secretary of the
Treasury is at once so simple and ecacious 10 all of
its practical bearings that we cannot see how 1t Is
possible for it to meet any other than general COM
mendation and support The amount of new issue
now in circulation is one hundred and sixty nil
lions of dollars. Perhaps one-halsof this amount,
scattered as it is among the people, may be lying
idle for periods ranging from ten days and up
wards. To obtain the of this idle money, the
Secretary has offered an Involvement to every ind-
vidual who may make deposit CT his surplus
funds, OF four per cent. interest curing the time
that the money remains on deposit, while the in
dividual retains his privilege of calling for his
funds at any moment they may be required. Sc
curty for this deposit is put aside to the account
of the depositor in the six per cent. non-taxable
bonds of the five hundred million loan. The val
of these bonds are at present 1885, in sixty days,
they may be worth $50; while the coupons COM
mand to-day high premium, being the equiya-
lent of gold in the payment of import and export
duties
1t will thus be seen that the Government by
using the surplus money that may be deposited, is
enabled to keep the circulation within the legal
limits. If one half of the S16O,000,000 now in
circulation could be thus deposited and the sys-
tenn continued, the advantage would be to the de-
positor as'well as to the Government To illus
trate: IF eighty millions deposited, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury pays out this sum for the
penses of the Government, and has, thereby, met
an indebtedness of s24O 00O,O with only $780,
100000 of circulation. In other words, the sur
plus on deposit commences circulation which re-
bounds as much to the benefit of the community
as to the Government. Money cannot accumu-
late without depreciating, and hence the impor-
lance OF turning it rapidly, paying the deposit
tor four per cent. for its use, and employing the
loan for the purpose of the administration. The
operation of this wheel within a wheel cannot but
prove efectual in its influence upon the currency
and if our people will only come forward with
their money, make their deposits and receive their
interest when they recall their loan the financial
ball will quickly commence revolution that is
destined to work out the most gratifying results
