1t has been well Said by the gentle
man from Michigan (Mr. 1apIe) that
banks now put out currency when 1t is
profitable Tor them to do SO, and they
retire 1t when 1t is not profitable. The
quantity and regulation OF the volume
OF money Is now determined by private
interests alonc-thc private interests OF
a few hundred men controlling nation
al banks-and in permitting this we
subject the value OF all property, the
prices of commodities and wages of la
bor, the relations OF debtor and credit
or, in no small degree to the control of
private interests; for in the regulation
of the currency banks are governed by
no other principle. Now, | say this
principle OF currency regulation in
which is involved such vast interests is
unsound and indefensiblc.
Sir Robert Peel in his great speech of
May and 20, 1914, on the British act
regulating the issue of currency, said;
"Therc is no contract public or pri-
vate; no engagement national or indi-
vidual, which is unaffected by the ar
rangements made in all the domestic
relations OF society, the wages of labor
pecuniary transactions OF the highest
amount and OF the lowest,the payment
of the national debt, the provision fol
the national cNpendituro,the commanl
which the coin OF the smallest denomi
nation has over the necessaries OF lie
are all affected by the decision to whici
we may come on that great question

Congress, January 10Th, lSSj, on the
bank bill We give some extracts from
it.
CONTRACTION OF TIE CURRENCY.
Another cause of the depression we
are now undergoing, and the one pro-
pose more particularly to discuss is the
contraction of the currency not Ouly in
this country but throughout the world.
For the first time since the discovery of
this continent the production Of gold
has fallen below consumption in the
arts, for ornaments and dentistry. And
it is startling fact that we are now
actually cncroaching upon the world
stock or coined gold for other uses than
for money. BY the stoppagc of the coin
are Of silver in other countries, and its
restriction in this, money supply from
the silver mines is limited or cut off en-
trely. Then, IN this country there is
added to this general stringency a con-
traction of the paper currency of from
three to four million dollars a month,
with the danger Of 4 still greater con-
traction in the near future. That cloud
hangs over us In my judgment there
fore, the most important thing before
Congress is TO stop this contraction of
the currency. wish it were the duty
of the speaker every morning when he
takes the ravel to warn the House that
its first duty is to stop the contraction
of the currency, as in the Roman SEN
ate 1t was declared that Carthage must
be destroyed.

The Brown. BOwdOin Race.

Brown has won the toss in choosing posi-
ton for todav's race, and has selected the
same course she drew for the original race
the west side. Bowdoin therefore takes her
old course also. The crews will be
started 200 feet apart, with the referees boat
between them. MIR. Waldo Lincoln will act
as referee, and Mr.. Edwin Brown as judge at
the finish. What the judges for the colleges
and the press representative are to do for IA
cilities for seeing the race, is not apparent.
Possibly the owner ofthe Meteor, who insists
that his boat has not been fairly treated, will
place the craft at their disposal. He is ready
to wager 500 she can keep up with any col
lege four, and has challenged Bowdon to a
race. The crews had excellent water Monday
afternoon Brown under Holmes teach
ing, practiced starts. They got away
in fine shape, and have vastly improved
since the race. As they get ac
customed to their boat their raggedness dis
appears. They row well together, and get
their boat through the water decidedly fast.
Bowdoin misses Plaisted, who did not return
after the Fourth The men are more popular
in Worcester than ever since they refused to
take the race except by winning it, and wait
ed Browns convenience TO pull, They feel
hurt, and justly so, at their treatment by
Cornell The published letter from the lat
ter. calling them 'beef EATERS has not
served to soothe them. They row about as
before the race, rapid, ragged stroke, but
powerful. They gained several lengths on
Brown after the foul in the race, and that
with great deal of water in the boat, and in
spite OF the acknowledged improvement in
their rivals boat. they think they can do so
again 1t will evidently be a hot race from
start to finish.
