The statement for May 1 may be modified
to the extent of half million or less either
way when complete returns are published Of
imports and exports of American gold and sill
YER coin since March /. For other dates the
figures correspond throughout with the Off
eia data, and for that date with the exception
named. This country was never more pros
porous than in 1877 $50, but it then had SlOO-
600, 900 less money in use than it has now. 1t
was abundantly prosperous in 1882, and then
IL had So 90, 600, 900 less money in use than il
has now. Moreover, prices were more than
g5 per cent higher May /, 1882, than May 1,
1888, notwithstanding an increase since 1882
of 81 90, 600, 900 in the currency
1t is a favorite notion that increasing popu-
lation requires increasing currency. There is
no truth in the theory, but If it were strictly
and absolutely true, the fact remains that the
circulation per capita is little larger IN 1888
thaA it was in 1882. On the day of specie re-
sumption, when an era of matchless prosperity
began. the circulation Of all kinds Of money
was S17 for each inhabitant, and nine years
later, January 1, 1885, il was S22 l 8 for each

TIRE ACTUAL CIRCULATION.

Who can measure the incomprehenslble VI
tally Of falsehood? Nearly every day one
sees going the rounds some ancient but not ven
cradle table which processes to show that the
volume Of currency in actual circulation is less
than it formerly was. There are people in this
country, nay, the recent financial debate showed
that there were some in the Senate, who are all
torn up in mind about supposed contraction
Of the currency when in fact the country has
In actual use about as much money as 1t ever
had at any time in its history, and from two to
four hundred millions more than it had in past
times Of great prosperity. Yet some magma
tive, INSCRIPTIONS or careless persons set ahoat
little table Of figures purporting to exhibit
the state of the currency at different periods,
and because it can be made an excuse for an
other shrek for more money" it starts on its
rounds and never stops. 1t makes no differ
ence whatever how often this bit Of misinfor-
nation is corrected or how absurdIy false ii
was Of the start the thing will run as the rivers
rum without ceasing. One such table, which
has travelled far and learned nothing, entirely
omits all geld and silver coin in circulation, Of
which over S4O0,O00,OO0 have been added
within the past nine years another carefully

But each and all may be traced from newspaper

There ia not the least excuse for these mis-
representations. For nearly ten years past,
official reports have given every item Of the in
formation necessary. An honest but uninl-
bortant error is possible, il one includes the i'm
agnary fractional paper currency, which is
theoretically but not actually in use A larger
honest error is possible though nobody seems to
have made it, if one takes the latest reports Of
the Mint regarding gold coin in USE without
making the corrections in previous reports
which the present Director considers neces-
gary. But the following shows the amount of

Plymouth Church has taken conservative
course and one that the future will probably
show to be wise, in selecting the Rev DR.. Ly-
man Abbott as MIR. Beechers successor. This
has been done only by the Advisory Committee
thus far, but there is reason to believe that the
church will ratify the committees action.
Doubtless no clergyman could have been picked
out who was more in sympathy with Mr..
Beecher's religious ideas or who was better
fitted, by reason of long and intimate associa-
ton with the famous preacher, to take up and
carry ON his work in manner acceptable to his
people.
