quoting the following passage:
IF this country is to be preserved, if it is
worth preserving. if we desire to see it per.
petuated and established upon enduring foun-
dations, must change the industrial and
capital interests Of the country in such way
as to produce an equilibrium of interests
We must nationalixe the sentiment of the
country by producing mutually Of interest IN
this way Sectional strife and
sectional interests have already come near
dissolving the government and destroying
its life and they will do it, or attempt it,
again, unless Congress shall pursue such
legislation and adopt such policy ~ will tend
to produce an equilibrium in all industrial,
commercial and monetary interests"
The ring organ declares it wholly be-
yond the power OF the government to &C
complsh the reform. 1t also quotes again
from the same speech
GU ought to improve the rivers and har-
bors OF the South and West you ought to
extend by the legislation of Congress such
advantages will take capital and immi-
grafton to the South and West you ought
to cut canals you ought to level the banks
OF the Mississippi, and encourage ship build
ing. There are thousand things that Con.
gress co9ld do, md national policy Of Con-
gress could be developed by which these
interests will be distributed with some degree
OF equality all over the country, from one end
to the other.
Its closing paragraph shows the temper
of Wall street, and of the ring monopolists
generally, when it denounces Mr.. Merri.
man an i'll informed and hair-brained SEN
ator from North Carolina. Your readers
may judge from what is already known
that this Congress viii make an early
adjournment without passing any act Of
substantial relief The spirit Of the East
is illustrated in the debate between Dawes,
OF Massachusetts, and Kelley, of Pennsyl-
wanna, III the House, on Saturday

THE DISTRIBUTION OF MONEY.

RELATION BETWEEN POPULATION AND CIRCULATION
-1HE TWO NOT NECESSARILY CONNECTED.
To the Edftor OF The Trtbune.
SIR; | have noticed a somewhat general
impression that the population and the money crcula'
ton OF country bound together In such manner
that the two should augment In due proportion Money
being considered necessary TO welbeing, 1t is thought
that so many dollars per head quite essential, much
as il money were thing Of which each person had TO
use certain amount or something divided pro rata by
natural laws. Perhaps the idea Is born of Communism
there seems certainly no good authority for 1t. The
amounts OF money held by different persons are surely
dispropOrOnate enough 10 cast doubts upon the theory
Let us compare the circulation per capita OF France
with that OF the United States On July %, 1874, the
Bank Of France held, in gold and silver, 1928 10000
francs, which added TO her notes, 25630O0O0 francs
makes 37e6,OOOOO0. Now, in France banking is very
poorly developed the people are not in the habit Of
dep0siting In banks so freely English or American
people. The tendency to revolution and the frequency
periods OF general insecurity have created habit Of
boarding Much business IS done with hard money. 1t
has been estimated and think safely, that the whole
money circulation of France is equal TO 81 100000
Divide this by her population, as shown by
census OF 1874 36l09,92l, and you have clrcula-
ton per capita s27 CO. Surprising popula-
ton TO be 4O0O0OOO and our circulation 5000 We
only SO per head and II circulation is at least
ten per cent the gold premum) great then have
a specevaiue circulation OF only SIS per head BY what
natural law doesa Frenchman possess y per cent
money than Americana
II We compare different periods Of history, we
may reach still more curious results. In 1860 popu-
laton about 3sOO0.Ooo. Bank notes and cash re-
amounted TO say $3.50 100000 making total prob
able circulation say Si0oO000O or, per capita, only
$40 50. We were then upon specie oasis and II the
theory DO sound we conclude that pres
ent circulation should 10 go 80 per CAPITA SAIL
total aud this conclusion makes the assertion
thas greonbek actually worth just about nifty
two cents 70 tho dollar. However, our whole mass OF
figures cannot annhate the fact that the greenbacks
worth what they fetch In gold, which is now about
ninety cents.

computation OF inhabitants has no foundato In polt-
cal economy, and will not bear examination Indeed.
calculation at ALL for the problem Is based upon
kno quantities Money IA the medium exchange OF
commodities Now, n we could by any get at ths
volume OF exchanges for short time, each sale being
measured by money, we should ind the total nlHc
greater than total circulation. III we add all
sales for year we shall learn that money Ia
ingly used over and over again hundreds OF times
It seems quite evident that the money circulation OF
any country Ia not at all connected with s population.
To say that many dollars per head arc needed. Is "a
add misleading statement 10 the scores ihat
have advanced in the present financial discussion.
The amount OF money that any people needs depends
completely upon the volume OF exchanges to be ELECTED
upon distances be trayersed, upon means OF l0como
ton upon habits OF depoStpg IN banks or hOafcing
unon relative proportion OF cash and time p1rchsses
and upon general banking tacltles, that these cOh
lions being unknown, may gave up our search Tor H.
Indeed the conditions affecting the amount OF money
needed are so Changeable tnat we should gam nothing
by finding IT, II may, perhaps, he truly sam mat
Frenohmen need s27 Co. that need u.s. ana add tna
81 per head Is quite enough for sayages; Out we sha
ind IL profitable give up the per hean nou0n
altogether Approximately, upon specie pass,
country needs tue amount Of money t1at IL uses
without any regard for what other countries
have, flor the that the particular country
had at a former period OF its history. Under system
OF inc0nyertDle paper IL may be said, without heslta
ton that there too much OF the paper Substitute f0
money but the extent OF the excess cannot be reached
by reference 10 other countries, or 10 former mes tns
discount upon the paper being the only test.
The uncertainty OF all calculations 90 discover ths
volume OF money probably 70 DC raised m the future,
bears strongly against the dea that had better
up to specie payments. Even admitting for argument,
which one could not else do that the amount Ol our
paper money can be irrevOcaby fixed, what y % pre-
vent banking facilities from Increasing ana periecg 20
keep pace with the increasing volume OF business '
There may be such Improvement IN hnancal economy az

total OF exchanges and maintain discount upon paper
