THE STANDARD OF VALUE.
A BANKERS VIEWS ON THE
SILVER QUESTION.

The Banks Anxious to Get Rid OF Silver
aud Hanging On 10 the Gold-1ime for
the Coinage OF silver Dollars to stop
An Effective Remedy for OvercOiuage.
Too much money is not a source of
trouble TO a great many people, but there
really are numbers OF business men who
have more cash than they can well
hanile.
"Silver is a nuisance" said Mr.. Horace
a. Crane, Vice President OF the Southern
bank, yesterday. II think banks all over
the country are unanimous on the silver
coinage question. Gold is the standard.
The world has made 1t 80, and we cannot
have an equitable state of affairs, fnan-
cialIy speaking. with a money system that
has two unequal bases. People do not
want silver anyhow. IL is too cumber-
some and incOnvenient to carry. II
one goes shopping and gets four
silver dollars in change for five dollar
bill he thinks he is badly treated, and II a
man came into the bank 10 have a check
cashed and receives 500 or 600 silver dol
lars his countenance plainly shows dis
gust, even though he does not verbally
express it. which is seldom. Two hun
bred dollars in silver weighs nearly 30
pounds avOrdupois.
'Silver is continually piling up in all Of
the banks. The Merchants bank is per-
haps the most fortunate in this respect of
any in savannah. 1t is carving only
about 500 600 in silver. A few DAVIS ago
we shipTs I several thousand dollars North.
II 10 IL put IN circulation here it flows
back to the bank again so that it has to
be sent away 10 get rid OF it. Ii takes
TWO go0d-sized kegs to hold 1000 stand
ard silver dollars, and the express charges
to New York are 81 80, three times as
much as IS charged for $1,000 in paper"
just now we are disposing of silver by
sending 1t out in the country. The cotton
pickeTs will take several thousand dol
lars TO give an idea Of the desire the
banks have to get rid OF silver, when any
interior customer orders $500 he generally
gets $1,000"
$40 you have any trouble with the sill
yer certificates 2" he was asked.
"NOt so much this year as formerly"
Mr.. Crane replied. charleston used to
act strangely in that matter, and she has
but recently got to taking the certih-
Gates"
New York banks objected to silver
in the settlement of clearing house bal
ances, but custom house duties were
paid with silver certificates, | believeW
said the NEWS man.
And in 80 doing have been draining
gold from the Treasury" added Mr..
Crane.
''DO you think gold lie being boarded by
the banksr he was asked
"NO; at any rate, not here. The inte-
rior has considerable gold, and small
amounts may be held by parties. The
public prefers paper currency for circu-
latng medium.
sit is time for the coinage of silver dol
lars to stop. What remedy is there?
Well, if the banks should cease issuing
paper and give out nothing but silver
Congress would be likely 10 hear from the
country pretty soon. The remedy would
be heroic, but undoubtedly effective"

How They DC III Ruasia.

The German organ for railroad progress
gives the following method of checking
up the track watchmen as practiced on
the Russian road from Charkoy to Nikola-
jew. The tracG is patrolled before each
train by a Waterman on each section,
who carries forward a number found by
him at the beginning of mis- section and
left on a hook provided for it at the end,
even numbers being carried in
one direction and odd ones in the
other. The numbers, which are painted
on metal plates, are hung In view of the
trains, so that officials passing can readily
see them, aud by means of a small table
Of the positions of the number on any day
or hour can see whether the watohmen
are doing their work. A hook without
number indicates the negligence OF a
watchman, who can be readily identified,
since every wa Gilman Is required TO give
notice when he does not find a number at
the beginning of his section, and must do
so TO avoid having the carelessness
ascribed to him.

The railways centering in New York
accomplished an achievement during the
Grant funeral OF which they well may
boast. During the few days Immediately
preceding and following the obsequies of
Gen. Grant, they brought into and car
ried out of that city at least 1000, 900
passengers.
This work was accomplished without
parade or delay and without accident. A
few years ago such service would have
been deemed impossible, but the roads
seem to have taken it as a matter of
course.
It is frequent cause OF astonishment
that the railways carry so many thou
sands of passengers with so few acct
dents. The movement Of trains and the
supervision of the roads is so perfect that
it is safer to travel than to stay at home.
