THE SUPPLY or MONEY.

Ignorance about the currency is not sin,
and Mr.. J.. j. Grant, who writes TO a country
paper asserting that the total circulation out
side the Treasury is not more than four hun
dred and seventy-one millions, is obviously ig-
norant enough to deserve charity. He quotes

that the amount of bank notes outside tbs

TO other roads, and to wait for the gradual de-
velopment of business in the regions through
which they run. That is the investors view OF
the case. The railroads are there; the public
has demanded them; and it IS nght that the
expense of maintaining them should be borne
by the public and not by the other lines.
Rut the public wanted these roads only be-
cause it expected from them sharper ana

between other companies. 1t is a notorious

prosperous of them in waiting pohcy, the an
swer of the public in Northwestern States is

hostile legislation, or more severe action by
State authorities, is likely to be plecipltated
by the very beginnings of agreement and OF

country or used up in the arts" statement
which stamps his ignorance as really extlaor-
binary Exact account is given each year OF
gold coin imported and exported, and an esti-
mate, generally considered large, but for which
data are given, is made of the amounts used in
the arts-S1 100000 gold for the last year.
These deducted with net exports, the stock Of
gold coin is determined with more certainty by
far than the yield of wheat, the number of pop
ulation, or any of the other figures which per-
sons Of Mr.. Grants calibre habitually employ
His errors are those of many others. Some
facts will be needed in the discussions this
winter. Every monthly statement shows ex-
actly the amount of each kind OF paper currency
outside the Treasury. November 1 the United
States notes thus in use were S3l6,867 ,515;
the legal tender certificates, SIP 81 0, O0O and
the bank notes not held by the Treasury or in
process of redemption, 81 SO, 812 900; the gold
certificates were S120 937 ,229, and the silver
certificates S277, 81 9,944, making total of
paper alone 1924 ,446,688, or about twice the
amount which Mr.. Grant supposes to be in use

tokens. The fractional silver goes abroad to
some extent when small coins of other coun-
tries are scarce, but not without report, because
people are not 50 foolish as to send it at their
own risk when they can get it insured tho
amount in use November | was S53,890882.
The gold circulation is calculated by taking.
first, the amount actually in the Treasury in
1873 with small addition for circulation then
in Pacific States. No one has ever objected to
that estimate as too large. TO this is added all
gold coin since put out of the mint and only
the American gold coin officially reported as
brought back into this country; there are de-
Quoted all American gold coin taken out of the
country, large allowance, rising from five to
sixteen millions yearly, for coin used in arts, and
the gold coin received at the mint for recOin-
age If Mr.. Grant can propose more ac-
curate or certain mode he has the floor. On
this basis the circulation outside the Treasury
was about S376100,419 gold November 1.
and the total of all kinds of money outside the
Treasury was 81 ,414 ,121, 121, or S21 81 per
capita.
In the following statement is shown the
amount per capita of each kind of money in
actual use outside the Treasury since the re-
sumption of specie payments, January 1, 1879.
1t appears that for nine years the total circula-
ton per capita has been remarkably steady,
never rising 81 above nor falling 81 below its
present amount:

The subject of assertions from the army is
certain to occupy a prominent place in the forth
coming report of the Secretary of War, and 1t
is altogether probable that the matter will be
brought before Congress by the presentation OF
bill designed to check this evil, which has
attained large proportions. The matter has al
ready been touched on by General Howard
General Miles and General Crook, and some
months ago Secretary Proctor caused special
inquiries to be made on this head by the As
sistant Adjutant General Major Theodore
Schwan On one point there appears to be
general agreement namely, the deSiiabllty OF
reducing the term of enlistment from five years
to three or even two. General Howard be-
lieveS that there should be an increase in the
reward offered for the apprehension of desert
ers and that all civil officers of the Govern
ment, States and Territories should be en-
powered to arrest and cOnfine such offenders.
He also advises that some arrangements be made
whereby enlisted men may in an emergency
sever their connection with the service without
PERSONAL dishonor and with justice to the Gov
eminent. General Crook takes the same view,
and thinks that fair arrangement would be
for the soldier to pay the amount which his
enlistment ana SerNiCe nave OOSu' 'Oh''" i
Crool, pronounces desertion the greatest evil
existing in the army" and says that the pres
ont remedies are entirely useless to prevent the
offence.
There is a prevalent idea that soldiers are
dr,ven to desert by the monOtony of the life
thcv are compelled to lead and by the fact that
,bcv are forced to perform a multitude Of mental
,asl,s for their superior officers AS to the
allegation thai they are required to perform too
much manual labor and subjected to harsh and
.,.ronnicaI treatment, General Crook is of the
oninion that this is true to only n limited ex-
cont. and Major Schwan declares that these
oouses OF discomfort "have been removed 50

THE ROMAN CATH0LIC CONGRESS.

The Congress Of Catholic laymen which
closed its sessions in Baltimore on Tuesday
evening will mark an era in the history OF
American Roman Catholicism. For 1t lndI-
Gates that the Church designs giving to the
laity greater prominence than has hitherto been
granted to them either here or in Europe. 1t
NAV be true, as has been asserted, that all the
papers read in the Congress were first inspected
by the ecclesiastical antiquities of the Church.
But while that fact lessons the Importance of
the views presented as individual utterances, it
makes them more authoritative as the official
voice of the Church. 1t is pleasant, therefore,
to find that, on the whole, the utteranceS OF the
Congress were able and patriotic. The plat
form of principles adopted is fair and candid,
and much of it will commend itself to Prot
estants as well as Catholics. 1t asserts in the
strongest terms the loyalty Of Catholics to
American institutions, emphasizes the impor-
lance of education, calls attention to some Of
the dangers that threaten the social fabric,
touches on the conflict between capital and
labor and calls upon Catholics to pay moro
attention than they have hitherto paid to the
great philanthropic and reformatoy move
ments of the age and to work with non-Cath-
olics in shaping Christian issues that are COM
mon to both.
Altogether the Congress has justified the
hopes that were entertained concerning it, and
doubtless the next meeting Of the Congress in
1892 will be even more important than this
gathering, which was largely experimental, and
which had few precedents to guide it, One
thing is evident the recognition accorded to
the laity in the Congress was a wise step, and
will do much to harmonic and strengthen the
Church in the United States.

VIRTUOUS COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Sweet, indeed and Christening are the use:
Of adversely to our late inglorious ally, the
County Democracy. Once it was pulled uT
and given over to the mammOn of unrighteous
ness, but before it had entirely bankrupted the
city its wild career was suddenly checked. II
took a header" 50 to speak, tripped by the
rough rock of public disgust and, landing in d
melancholy heap at the bottom of fortunes hill
the idea suddenly occurred to its mind that It's
only noble to be good. Trembling with the
excitement naturally created by this novel
thought, and determined to act upon it before
it should get away, the County Democracy has
adopted resolution in favor of ballot reform,
and has appointed "select committee to give
effect to its views.
This is most interesting incident 1t teaches
a number of important lessons. It shows that
with some political organizations, as with some
men and children, no argument is so surely
convincing as birch rod. Il shows that hui
man creatures, if they want something very
much indeed, will swallow anything to get it,,
no matter how sorely thei, paates are afflicted
nor to what desperate extremes their digestive
machinery is moved. 1t teaches that expedi-
ency not justice should dictate mems con-
duct as to public alters, and that they should
support or oppose measures, not because they
are light or wrong. but simply in view of what
will be gained or lost by the course taken
The ballot reform described in the County
Democracy's resolutions as the foremost pur-
pose Of their organization is precisely the same
scheme Of reform which their representatives
at Albany last fall fought so bitterly. 1t is
the same one that they have been condemning
in their party conventions for two years 1t is
the same one that the Republicans at Albany
passed in 1888 and twice again in 1885 against
their opposition. Their present position, there
fore, is not merely step of progress. 1t is an
acknowledgment that they and their party
have grievously erred, have falsely represented
the public, have been controlled by partisan
ship, and not by any consideration of duty.
We rejoice in the conversion Of the County
Democracy. We hope they will stay convert
ed, even though they have to stay whipped.
The Republicans will give them another Bal
lot Reform bill this winter, and will look sharp
ly to see where their men are when the bill
comes back linked black with Hilfs veto.

This statement leaves no decent ground for
the pretence shat the circulation has been alarm
ngly contracted or is now so small as to cramp
the energies of the country 1t is much larger
in propordon to population than it was in 1871
and 1850, when the country was remarkably
prospectus, and circulation but little greater
than we now have so stimulated speculation
that the panic and smash Of 1888 became the

lief of most intelligent persons that the country
had better not run the risk of a similar collapse
