The Wear and Tear of Currency.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post discusses an Interesting
point in the currency question, which,
though it has not been touched upon IN
the congressional debates, is not new
one, as the Posts correspondent as
sumes. Something over year ago we
estimated the entire loss of legal-ten
ders and bank notes from wear and
tear, destruction in fires, and by the
sinking of vessels end steamboats, at
about SOS, 900, 600. The Pests CORES
pondent, however, prints an elaborate
table to show that the average loss has
been over ! per cent. per annum on the
entire volume of paper currency, and so
figures up a total loss of S75, 600, GOO in
the twelve years since 1861, and to sus-
tain 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, /,
1888, ,414, ,649. %, he says From tins
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 forredemptlon-
On paoe IL, referring to the loss on the
issue of "postal currency, he states;
g These facts would seem to Indicate
that nearly the whole OF this lssue,
originally amounting to $40, ,2l5, G355,
that still exists, has been redeemed,
aud that probably about $4,000, coo has
been destroyed, and can be fairly de-
Quoted from the actual circulation OF
the fractional currency, and that the
fractional indebtedness Is reduced By
III The loss on this $50. 900, 900 of frac-
tional currency is over 5i4 per cent. Of
the amount issued.
But the position of the Posts cores
,,oDdept il not sustained by what Treas
user Spinner says abont the old demand
legal tender notes, the entire loss on
which in ten years has been only about
one and one-third per cent. The de
gtruction of fractional currency is ulI-
doubtedly very large, but on the legal
tenders and national bank notes, even
after making an allowance of, say
60, 600, 900 for the amOnnt destroyed IN
the Chicago and Boston fires, we should
not estimate the entire destruction of
notes at over SOS, 600, 900 or S39, 600. 600

The Temperance Reform.

The infection of the temperance re-
vival still spreads unabated throughout
the country. In it's features and modes,
the warfare changes to adapt itself to
new fields, but there is no lesSening of
the moral energy at the bottom. The
I" wOmen's war" it remains, on its Origi-
nal battle-grounds IN Ohio, and to q
great extent in the neighbOring state of
Indiana, where alone as vet does the
spirit work from town to town till next
door communities are all ahame with
one vigorous purpose, aud encouraging
each other by mutual reports of prayer
and labor and triumph. The license
laws are turned into an effective weapon
against the dealers in Indiana, and
many of them are finding themselves
prescribed by legal means, instead of
the moral force they had expected. The
movement, in one form or another, has
foothold in the western states of Illi-
nOis, Wisconsin, Mic iigan, Missouri,
Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa, though
merely an isolated one, save, perhaps,
in the last-named state, where a new
feature was the work of the women in
carrying the recent town election Of At
lantic by personal labors before and at
the polls. In Tennessee everybody is
WaIGlug 10 see now Iu0 GEGenNilIS cam
paign turns out. Eastward, except In
some of the small towns of Long Is
land, there has been 10 success in the
genuine Ohio movement. The Phila-
delphians have first attempted to get
the law enforced against keeping bars
open on Sunday, and meanwhile, the
quiet house-to-hOuse prayer-meeting
and personal appeals to dealers, with
out any street demonstrations, are re-
ported to result in several conversions.
Little but mass s-meetings of prayer,
addresses and hymns marks the work in
New York. The most Interesting man
Hesitation in the east is in the capita! of
Vermont, where, the "rUm" element
supposed they had the select men In
their hands, and found themselves
greatly disappointed. Dio Lewis is the
apostle in Montpelier, as in the other
Vermont towns of St. Adams and Rut-
land. II remains TO note that the coun-
rspirit of opposition is being mani
tested in its rQdsst forms of insult and
actual violence in some Indiana and
Ohio towns, while the Germans of the
west are in extreme excitement on the
subject, their ministers generally de-
nouncing the crusade and its participa-
tors strenuously.

Protecting Southern SeapOrts From
Yellow Fever.

Representative Bromberg's bill to es-
tablish q national quarantine system is
opposed by many of the New York
members on the ground that it would
interfere with the state quarantine es-
tablishment. Mr.. BrOmberg replied to
this objection that this would not nee
essariIy be the case, for the state Off
cials could enforce any local regulations
after the government officers had exam
ined a vessel. In reply to the objection
that it is not legitimate function of
the general government to look after the
health of the people, the author of tue
bill refers to the fact that in 1865, when
the rinderpest prevailed IN Canada, con-
gress prohibited the transportation of
cattle except under such regulations as
the president might prescribe. If 1t IS
competent for congress to legislate for
the health of the cattle of the country,
he thinks there can be no question as to
its power to make regulations to guard
the health of citizens The chief OBJ
ieet of the bill is to protect the south
ern seapOrts from the introduction of
yellow fever. Local quarantiues have
been found to be insufficient. They are
almost always enforced too late, because
the local authorities hesitate to admit
the danger that exists for fear of iniur-
ing business by creating alarm among
the people, and when they are enforced
they do not protect southern cities from
the introduction of the disease by per
sons who have landed on other parts of
the coast and enter them by rail.
