INCREASE THE CURRENCY.

The national banking system is admitted
by impartial judges to be the wisest bank
ing scheme ever adopted by any country
1t ensures the most absolute safety to the
~noteholder, a godsend that can only be
fully appreciated by those who re.
member the insecurity experienced in the
wildcat banking days before the war. The
last report OF the Comptroller OF the Cur.
rency shows that, while the number oil
national banks and their capital have in
creased since 1866. their note issue has d.
minished: I'm January, 1866, 1852
banks, with a capital, surplus and undivided
profits OF SAFE, $50. 2O4, held $40, $780,
$50 OF United States bonds. On October
s., 1887, 3,O49 banks. with a capital, sur
plus and undivided profits OF $500, s27,-
1873, held only 1928, 754,45O OF bonds"
On October 81, 1883. the national bank
notes outstanding amounted to $685., O13,-
1877, and since then every year has
seen a contraction OF this, ont of the
safest currencies ever devised, by
the surrender Of bonds by which their cir
culation is secured called in by the Treas.
ury, until the figures on October 81 last we're
$272 ,O41. 2O3. This in the face OF the
growth OF the country's may be
held to account as one of the causes lead
ing to the monetary stringency which
prompted Mr.. Thompson OF the Chase
National Bank OF New York to make the
suggestions alluded to in these columns
yesterday. The measure of relief he sug-
gests, by allowing banks to increase their
circulation to the extent of their deposits,
is one that will be generally approved, and
would bring a relief to the extent OF twenty
millions. His other suggestion ofremoving
the one per cent. tax on National bank
notes will 10 find such general approval
outside OF banking circles. The need OF the
country in the way OF additional currency is
stated by men OF experience in round num-
bers at $500, 600, 600. During the last twen-
ty-ive years the country has nearly doubled
in population. Its safest form OF currency
has been reduced and the addition to the
of gold and silver in
that period has been totally
inadequate to meet the wants of
COLuAHeTCe. 1uc VOIume OF currency mas,
comparatively, stood still, while the bust
ness to be transacted with it has nearly
doubled. The case is felt to be SO urgent
BY the business men of the country that,
in view OF the urgent showing made by the
President in his message, a measure OF re-
ief by increasing the circulating medium is
as imperative as the reduction OF the reve-

The Idaho papers are complaining in the
mail service. The Boise Statesman says
I'VE do not remember to have heard such
universal complaint anywhere as is now
made in Idaho in relation to the mails"
The Ceur d'Alene Record remarks: "Speak.
ing for the Ceur d'Alene we say the service
is little better than none." The Washing
ton Territory papers have similar com
plants to make. So have the residents OF
Butte and towns north and south Of here.
Subscribers to this paper complain on
stantly OF the nonreceipt OF papers for
two OF three days and then receiving them
in q bunch. This was before the blockade
OF snow set in and produced a stagnation
in the mail service reminiscent OF ante-rail-
road days. The trouble. as THE MINER
has before complained, is that there is not
enough OF help in the mail cars to handle
the mails on the way. This obliges a clerk
to carry the mail past it's destination
and turn it over to the returning
mail clerk at the end OF the run. More
mail clerks are needed On the trains in the
Northwest, and the Delegates OF the various
Territories should be asked to make a
united demand on the Postoffice Depart.
ment for more help IN the Northwestern
mail routes. Time was when, from neces-
sity. the few settlers up in this section OF
the Union were glad to take their mail
when they could get it.. But with three
ira nscontinental roads in operation in this |
Territory alone, to have mails delayed
from lack OF force to distribute it in
time to reach it's destination is neglect by
the Department showing the wants OF this
are not understood. 1t remains
with the gentlemen who represent these
to make it their business to see
that the Department continues in this be-
condition no longer than is abso-
lutely necessary.

WHILE all the other towns al any or no

WHILE all the other towns OF any or no
account in the Territory are announcing
contemplated investments by capitalists
in smelling works to rival those OF Swan
sea. it is strange that no project is mooted
to erect mammoth works of that kind in
Butte. Ore from this vicinity and the con-
~tiguous country is sent as far as Omaha
for reduction. Iron for luxing purposes is
known to lie in rich deposits within easy
access, and in a short time inexhaustible
fuel supplies opened up in the Territory
and made available by construction ofnew
roads will reduce the cost of coal to a min.
imum. It certainly seems as though great
smelter ought to be erected here in prefer
ence to many other of the points now

knife wound in theside. According 10 the
best accounts they were going out OF town
10 fight, but the dispute being renewed,
Nerticoli could restrain himself no longer,
but pulled his knife and let Backus have il
il right there. One OF the Greeks ribs
was severed by the thrust. Ncrticoli es-
capped. Some Of the friends OF the parties
