The Wear and Tear of Currency.

A correspondent of the Ne,C York Ere
nina Post discusses an interesting point in
the currency question, which, though 1t has
not been touched upon in the Congression-
al debates. is not new one, as the Posts
correspondent assumes. Something over
wear ago we estimated the entire loss OF
lecal-tenGers and bank notes from wear and
tear. destruction in fires, and by the sink
ing of vessels and steamboats, at about S23,-
100000. The Posts correspondent, how
ever. prints an elaborate table to show that
the average loss has been over l per cent
per annum on the entire volume Of paper
currence, and so figures up total loss OF
ST5,000,000 in the twelve years since 1861,
and, to sustain this position, refers TO
Treasurer Spinner's annual report for 1873,
in which, after stating the amount OF
United States currency outstanding at the
close of the fiscal year, Nov. l, S3So, 1924
649.23, he saws: "ETOm this amount there
should be allowed large margin for notes
of all kinds that may have been destroyed
and lost, and that will never be presented
for redemption" On page II, referring to
the loss on the first issue of '.pOstal cur
renew" he states: "These facts would
seem to indicate that nearly the whole of
this issue, originally amounting TO So
2I5, $50, that still exists, has been redeemed,
and that probably about S4,0OO,OOO has
been destroyed, and can be fairly deducted
from the actual circulation of the fractional
currency, and that the national Indebted
ness is reduced by that amount"
The loss on this S20,O0O,0O0 Of fractional
currency is over 21R per cent of the amount
issued.
But the position of the Posts correspOn-
dent is not sustained by what Treasurer
Spinner SAYS about the old demand legal
tender notes, the entire loss on which in
ten years has been only about one and one
third per ceat. The destruction of frac-
tional currency is undoubtedly very large,
but on the legal-tenders and national bank
notes, even after making an allowance of,
saw S5,OO0.000 for the amount destroyed in
the Chicago and Boston fires, We should not
estimate the entire destruction Of notes at
over 100000 or S30y0O0,0O0 in the
twelve years.-ChicGgO Tribune.

Time FlieS.-It certainly flies with those
parties distant from Louisville who are
waiting to hear whether they have been in
time to secure their tickets for the Grand
Gift Concert. If they could see the mails
received several times a day at the home
office, the sight might beget a doubt about
their wisdom in delaying so long what
might as well have been done months ago.
Time flies, and the drawing is at hand. 1t
