Col. II. c Cross Delivers an Address on
Currency and Cleertngs
Pursuant to u request from Prof. A.
r. Taylor and the students, Mr.. Cross ad-
dr. ssed Us yesterday On the above subject
which naturally follows the one on
Banks" which we heard from him
short time since. The subject was ham
died in an agreeable, instructive man.
ner, but lacking time. we will be COM
PEELED to give only an outline of his
speech. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen: The currency
of this country consists of about ST.
500,O00,O00. of which $550,OO0 900 is
gold, $3.50. O00. 600 is silver and $780,
O00,O paper. This amount gives about
$50 per capita, TO carry on business
with. This seems small amount, yet
with the aid of bills of exchange,
drafts, banks and clearing houses
it is amply sufficient. In cities
where clearing houses are organized
business can be done with much less
capital than without them. II requires
So to do business in Emporia to 81 in
New York city, on account of the differ
ence in facilities. A clearing house is
an organization of bankers whose OBJ
lect it is to transact business with each
other with as little delay, Inconvenience
and expense as possible. A building is
fitted up with desk for each concern
which is represented by clerk, who
has tabulated statement of the amounts
due his bank from others, and to others
from his bank. At II o'clock each day
accounts are cleared up, and debts of
set credits to such an extent that but
about three per cent. of the actual value
of the exchanges is made in currency.
Sometimes the balance is carried until
the next day, when it can be exchanged
for bills or drafts, thus using no cur
rency.
Bills of exchange are OF two kinds,
foreign and inland. A foreign bill is
one given from one stale or country to
another. A bill drawn on New York
fro N St. Louis would be foreign bill,
One between points in state. inland.
In use the only real difference between
the two is in favor of the inland bill in
case Of protest.
A draft is the privilege 10 use credit
in another part of the country aud thus
save shipping currency. In England
three bills of exchange are issued. The
first presented being one accepted which
annuls the other two. This is done to
save loss IN the mails. In this country
two are usually used; the second only
issued when notice is given that the first
is lost, which, if paid, assumes the first.
Should TWO drafts be accidentally paid
by a bank it loses the amount paid by
mistake.
Prnmissary notes are very little used
in business because of their unreliable
ity.
The argument was plentiiully illus
trated from basiness transactions pre-
sented in such a manner as showed the
gentlemsn's familiarity with his subject.
A reply to the question "Why are
bank notes better than greenbacks"
closed the remarks, and MIR. Cross re-
tired with the thanks of his audience,
and request TO favor them again.

nothing happens we will have

fruits will be failure. The cause is

Hon. A. B. Campbell, of Manhattan,
was in the city yesterday on his way
to Florence, where he held rOus-
ing temperance rally, and while
at the depot here waiting for
his tram we came upon him and had
most pleasant chat about one thing and
another. and particularly about temper
rance, which subject seems to be the up
permost matter In the mind of the dis
tinguished apostle of prohibition. The
outlook everywhere, he says, is very an
couraging, and he is meeting with
the most eminent success in
his labOrs. This morning he
communicated with the treasurer
of the State Temperance Union, and seat
in as the result of one weeks work
81 600 in cash and subscriptions. nv.
Bennett, he says. is doing a noble work
for the cause of temperance, and his
paper Is succeeding beyond his most
sanguine hopes and expectations, his
subscription list having reached $500
paid up subscribers. He has lately
moved into new and elegant quarters,
and is on the high road TO fame and
prosperity.
Speaking of the move inangurated
here against the whisky fellows since
the election OF Mayor Warren. Mr..
Campbell said it was only 3 sample of
what was being done all oyer the state.
and he rejoiced to contemplate the ex-
cellent work which was now being
done, aud which the future would de-
velop. He wants the people here to
continue their warfare against the whis-
ky fellows, and ifthey do not let up
the time is very close at hand when the
traffic here, secret and open, win be en-
tirely abandoned.
