The proportion In other countries is

Tho fact that loan companies place
mortgages on real property at so per cent

Again, the currency can be based on

When the war closed, n tho bills issued

The issuing Of money by government
without anything pledged for redemption
is good only so long as the credit OF the
government issuing Is good and deprecI-
ates when the credit Of the government
Is impaired. This continental currency
confederate currency-and our green
backs were all once at par. The,hrst two
went out Of use because they were based
on nothing the greenbaCk waB Mt all
rates Of discount.
In June and July Of 1864, when Lee
was in Pennsylvania, gold was upto 1886,
and in September, after confidence was
in some degree restored, IL fell 10 Sl.0i.
But with money conditioned on real
values, II would be on par with gold or
silver.
The great point Of difference as against
the present system lies in the power OF
money to oppress.
In 1883 the capital Of the banks In the
United States was S393,53i ,l45, and the
total net earnings was O5,8OO,497, or n
per cent
Again, Mr.. Astor has just come into
possession Of n fortune Of SlJ0,OO0,00O.
Ho was worth SJO,0O0,O0O prior to this.
Now suppose you allow him 100000

income just as II comes In from his rents,
in fifty years he will be worth &2OOO,00O,-
600, and need never do anything but
make investments.

A committee of the bondholders
are again seeking an adjustment of
the Virginia debt. The committee
intends to submit an entirely new
proposition concerning this much
t'cussed" and discussed question.
and although the terms of the proro-
sition r not known, a number of
conditions which appear eminentlv
fair on their face are stated as pre-
paratory to a final settlement. All
holders of the unsettled obligations
of the State of Virginia are invited
20 deposit them in one of four bank-
ing institutions in the cities of Lon
don, New York, Baltimore and Rich
mOnd. These depositaries will issue
trust certificates for the deposits
The plan of settlement proposed by
the committee is then to be submit
ted to an adVisory board, composed
Of ex-President Cleveland, ex-Secre-
tary Bayard, Edward ]. Phelps, Geo.
S. Coe and George G. Williams. At
ter the proposed plan has been ex-
amiped and approved as just and
fair by the advisory board, it is to
be published and submitted to the
depositing creditors for their accept
ance. When a sufficient number Of
creditors have agreed to it, it will be
submitted TO the State Of Virginia to
be contaminated.
