1Our correspondent asks whether the currency has
not been inflated since resumption. Unquestlona-
bly,. There is now in use Of various kinds of money
at least 800 600 900 moro than the day of spe-
cie resumption. Gold has been imported and drawn
from boards, and mined; silver has been coined;
nearly 800 OOO, 900 of gold and silver certificates
has been added TO tine circulation Moreover that
imitation AS caused such disturbance in all
brauche, of industry and trade that great part Of
the benefits of resumption has been lost. II 10 con-
Times public bankruptcy will follow. The CORE
spondent also asks why Government does not
destroy the legal tender notes 1t redeems and adds:
THAT is the way good business man would do
OF course. But the Government is not q good BUSH
ness man. Cheap dcmagogues, principally of the
Democratic variety, forced through Congress an
enactment that Government should not destroy or
retire any of the notes outstanding, and at the time
the lnhationists and repudiators were 50 strong
that good business men were glad to get IN pro-
vision that the issue should not be increased.l
