in the representation of the South and

This table shows how New England
has steadily fallen back in comparative
strength, beginning with more than
one-fourth of the Representatives and
ending with less than One-tenth. The
Middle States, starting with the same
proportional share, have so far filed
their limited area with people that the
decrease in relative strength has been
slight, dating only from the apportion-
ment of 1880. The Southern States,
starting with so great preponderance,
have steadily, but slowly, lost their rela-
tive strength since the apportionment
of 1910. The Western States, beginning
with Ohio in the superintendent of the
decade 1880, have grown from no
strength at all to a power measured by
nearly one third of the members of the
House.

1879, and to $40, 400, 314 in 1880. The steady
decrease, the Ire ssurer says. is due in great
measure to the withdrawal of notes caused bv
the presentation of Clearinghouse certificates
for redemption, the amount of these certif-
Gates outstanding having been reduced from
S3l 1885, 900 in 1879 to 1875, 0G0 in 1880.
Another reason for the smallness of the note
balance, Mr.. Gillian adds, may be found in
the falling off in the notereceipts, the revenues
OF the Government being now largely paid in
coin and silver certificates

The Treasurer instances banks which have
reduced and forthwith increased their circula-
ton TO the former amount with the avowed OBJ
iect of relieving themselves from the trouble
and expense of redeeming their notes through
the redemption agency, as required by law, and
says lit Is plain that such transactions as these
are not within the spirit of the act of June
20, 1874. That act authorizes the de-
post of legal tenders by any national
bank desiring to withdraw its circulation
in whole or in part. A wish to surrender
circulation, with the reserved intention of
taking out more at once, or as soon as q fall
IN the price of bonds shall make the transac-
ton profitable, is not, it is submitted, such a
desire to withdraw circulation as the law con-
templates 1t could neither have been intend
ed nor expected that the law would become the
means of enabling banks to operate in securi-
ties of the Government deposited to secure the
redemption of their notes, or to throw upon
the United States or other banks of the coun-

maintaining and enjoying the full circulation
