Gold Coinage Of the United States.

A recent publication in the Mining
Record complains that 'the great bulk
OF the gold coinage of the United States
consists now, and has consisted for the
last twenty-five years, of double eagles,
which, from their size, do not get into
circulation, but are used as public and
banking resources, or exported as do
nestle stamped bullion. This is to a
certain extent true, but it is not the
fault Of the minis. In this country
paper money almost solely is handled,
while nearly all the metallic money lies
in the banks. The people prefer paper
money to cOin3 as matter of cOnven-
fence, and the bankers who use the metal
prefer coin of the larger denominations
for obvious reasons.
The average coinage of the last fifteen
years of eagles has been less than $780,
600 annually; and of half-eagles about
1000 annually; and of quarter-eagles,
less than 100000 annually. For the
five years prior to the suspension of spe-
Gle payments in 1861, the average annu-
al coinage of eagles was less than $4OO,-
600; of half-eagles about 100000, and of
quarter-eagleS about 100000.
During the last fiscal year the coin
age of the United States was: Double
eagles, $37 ,234, $40; eagles, 81 OBJ ,44O half
eagles, SLAP, 100; quarter-eagles, ST.
166, 800; showing that the average annu-
al coinage of eagles has been increased
over five hundred per cent; the coinage
of half-eagles has been increased nearly
six hundred per cent, and of quarter
eagles more than thousand per cent,
so that demand for gold coin of small
denominations has been more than an
ticipated. There is, in fact, more than
the ordinary demand at present for this
class Of coin, but the Director of the
Mint expects that, ON account of the
large accumulatiOns of coin i'm the Treas
ury, which he believes is now ample for
resumption purposes, and the present
large importation OF gold, will throw a
larger amount of coin into general cir
culatiOn than has been seen for many
years, and that the coin of smaller de-
nomination win of necessity be needed
Of the gold coin now in the Treasury
vaults there is of these smaller denOmi-
nations an amount exceeding the coin
age of last year, which is stated above.

Ohio men, living in the District of Col.
umbia, will 60 home to vote in October
In previous years the railroads leading
from Washington to Ohio have given
clerks going home to vote special rates
but this year the Pennsylvania and Bal.
timore and Ohio lines have entered into
some kind of compact by which this is
impossible. 1t is understood, however
that they have agreed that, upon the
purchase of a certain number of second.
class tickets, the clerks can ride in first
class cars. This will make the cost to

National Banks.
From the Lansing Republican. af:

From the Lansing Republican. RI 4r: ...
A comparison of the losses to creditors
by the failure of national or state and
private banks in Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky, MissOuriIand Ohio is very instruct
i've as to the sOundness of the two sys-
TENS. The national banks in these
states since 1868 show the total losses
by their failures to amount to 2,1O1, 800.
while the state and private banks i'm the
same states since Jan. 1, 1876, show
losses to the amount of S9,443,355. Thus
period of Is years of national banking,
with capital employed therein more
than double that employed in state and
private banking, for period One-fOurth
as long, exhibits losses about four and
half times as great under the state
and private as under the national sys
tenn; or, in other words, the annual per-
centage of loss under state and private
banking is upwards of ten times as much
as under the national banking law. As
the question Of security is the zSreat and
controlling one when banking system
is to be considered, these statistics are
full of meaning. Be it remembered,
also, that not a solitary dollar has ever
been lost to the bilihOlders of a national
bank, or to the government on its funds
deposited therein.

THE Atlanta papers report that a
strange and fatal disease of the malaria
fever type is prevalent in the western
part of Georgia. Out of fifty-eight per-
sons attacked within thepast three weeks
only three have recovered. The disease
has some characteristics of typhoid fever
but is more rapid and fatal. The tongue
swells until the mouth cannot be closed
the victim chOkes, and blood breaks from
the ears, eyes, and nOstrils. The body is
covered with large black spots as death
approaches. The disease is spreading
without appearing to be contagious, and
there seems to be no way to check it.

AN interesting PAPER by R. P. Porter,
of Chicago, was read before the social
science association Friday of last week,
at Saratoga on the growth of the West,
and its industrial, agricultural
and financial prospects. In this
paper the states of Michigan, In
! diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
q nesOta, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska are considered as the West. These
states contain the great corn belt of
America. In 1877 they produced over
two hundred and twenty-five millions
of dollars worth of corn. Theyl contain
also the great wheat belt, and produced
in 1877 nearly two hundred and nine
millions of dollars worth of wheat. They
also contain large part of the cattle
belt, and produced, the same year, one
hundred and twenty-five millions of dol

two millions of farmers. 1t is besides a
region of the richest copper, lead, iron and
coal mines; wonderful numbering
country; and busy hive of manufactur-
ing. 1t is the portion of the republic
which grows faster in both population
b and wealth than any other. Its cities
q and towns are growing remarkably, Ow-
/ ing to its increase in manufacturing
and commerce. In 1850, twenty-three
and half per cent. of its population
was in cities and villages; in 1870, thir.
ty-four per cent. The average earnings
! in the western states for each working
mechanic are 1915 SS a year, against
+ only $7S7 % in the eastern states, and
= 1886 rs in the southern states. The
average expenses a year are STA Is in
the western states; against 1910 % in
the eastern states, and 1918 OF in the
southern states. In the eastern states
the average saving of the thrifty me.
chanic is SIT O6 year; in the southern
