Horner's Rank Bill.

NO. IN.
Mr.. EDITOR: No money, save the
interest only, can issue from or be
paid out by the Bank of Hawail,
only on security as prescribed by
law; thus making the interest the
only fund legally disable by the
directors for expenses, which inter-
est being payable in advance, be-
comes the income of the bank as
soon as the loan is completed, and
may be used for salaries or other
expenses.
After the bank gets in working
order, it could help itself by pay
ing its own way; help the Govern
ment pay it's debts and help the
people by giving them a par and a
permanent currency adequate for
all business; never too much or too
little, and at rate of interest APP
proximating the income of the in
dustries.
This would be bank of sure re-
demption, being backed by the
Government, and having valuable
property sufficient always in the
bank to redeem every dollar of the
bank currency outstanding; at tho
same time, the bank would receive
all of its outstanding currency on
deposit at its face value and give
for it certificate of deposit draw
ing an interest, the same as our
present bank now does money de-
posted, and return the money TO
the depositors on demand.
The Bank of Hawaii, if put in
operation, would do another thing
heretofore thought impossible, viz:
1t would reverse Gresham cur
rency law which reads as follows:
Whenever two or more currencies
of equal nominal. but different &C
tual values, are put in circulation
side by side, the cheaper, will drive
out and take the place of the
dearer by law as memorable as
that of gravity"
Without hesitating, l affirm that
the Bank of Hawaii would reverse
this law in all countries that adopt
it. / will briefly illustrate: We
will suppose the bank in it's busi-
ness to have loaned gold coin, in
trinsically 80 per cent. of its face
value, the same amount of silver
coin at 80 per cent.of its face value,
and the same amount of paper
money worth nothing intrinsically.
Now, bear in mind, the Bank of
Hawaii is compelled to take back
any part or all of this money at it's
face value. Query: Which would
be carried back, the cheaper or the
dearer? All must answer the
cheaper. Let me ask then: Where
stands Grasham's law, is it not re-
| versed, if the better currency
| drives out the poorer? No other
system of money could reverse that
law and drive all inferior currency
out of circulation, save the one
foreshadowed in the bill now in
the House for the organization Of
the Bank of Hawaii.

Church Sensations.

Considerable excitement has sprung
out in the Methodist circles in the Dixon
district, over which Elder Van Horn pre-
sides, as to whether card playing is sin
or whether it is an amusement which can
be prof1tably enjoyed by communicates
of the church. The NJ E society seem
evidently divided on the question. and g
meeting of the pillars" was called to set
tie the obstruse point Presiding Elder
Van Horn was called in, and he said &C
cording TO the latest edition of the disci-
plipe, card playing was prohibited. but
when asked to produce his authority, he
failed to find the page and paragraph

clined to boast of how his project was TO
destroy other enterprises in which Rock
Island capital is interested. As the AR
GUS has before had occasion to say when
the electric road sought admittance to
Rock Island. it is not necessary in order
to get additional benefits to crush
others of long standing. 1t is un>
necessary to state that the ARGUS
has no interest in the Davenport and
Rock Island ferry or in any other
transportation corporation and it has not
hesitated to encourage and to aid as far
as In its power. rival enterprises calculated
to give to the people increased facilities
for travel. as it did in the bridge railway,
but 1t does not see that the public inter
ests or tie welfare Of the people demand
that the ferry be driven out of existence
and its value ruined in order to accom-
modate another money-making concern
that is coming In with that avowed pur-
pose. The Rock Island and Davenport
ferry has for years given the cities Of
Rock Island and Davenport the best ia
cilities that could be sought, as Col.
Stewart himself acknowledged. the best
ferry on the Mississippi. and there has
been no complaint that the ARGUS has
heard Of that its charges have been un
reasonable.
As to the merits of the undertaking
either as financial venture or as a sub
stantial mode of drawing the cities Of
Rock Island and Davenport. nearer to-
gether. an idea cannot be hastily formed.
II the plan were to stretch q bridge of
some sort across Rock river bottoms to
the lower end of Rock Island county,
there would be no hesitancy whatever on
the part of Rock Island In giving il all
the encouragement possible.

MORE TIME WANTED
by the Millers and Lumber Dealers for
Unloading Cars.

Unloading Cars.
The transportation Committee OF the
Board OF Trade held a consultation
with the millers and lumber dealers in
regard to the car scryicerules last even
ng. The millcrs were represented by
G. G.. 4. NOigt, O. +. Brown and Mr..
Dykema, and :. i. SwartZ and others
represented the lumb r dealers.
The mlllers SAID that the rules would
not be 50 very troublesome if il were
not for the fact that their cars are
punched. Theywill order two or three
cars of grain shipped from some point
each day, and II they would arrive IN
that order the grain could be taken
care OF very easily, and they would not
have TO pay dcmurrage. The trouble
j. that the ears viii arrive IN lots OF ten,
twelve and fourteen, and the cOnsc-
quCnce is they can not Toe handled rap
IDLY enough IN such cases To save de-
murragc They also believe that when
they unload one lot .Ot cars IN IN hour
o. two after they are received they
should be allowed some credit or fur
tnCr extension OF time on au o-hCr lot.
Mr.. \ Olgt says that the star and the
Crescent mills grind SIX Carload day,
and Mr.. Brown says his mlllwill handle
-four carloads day and that unless
they are allowed more time in which TO
unload cars their business will bc Scri-
OusiY hampcrCd.
The lumber dealers say substantially
the same trouble exists IN their busi-
ness. If thcy buy car OF lumber and
IL is not what 1t has been represented t.
bc, they do not wish 10 unload It and
accept 1t. one of the causes leading To
tire adoption OF the rules was the send
ing IN OF lumber III cars 10 bc left Oh
the track until Il was sold.
In one way the new rules have been
a benefit to the lumber dealers. When
thcy sell car of lumber ON ninety
days time, tho buyer can not leave il
on the track for thirty days and count
the time from the day of unloading, and
thu, cot four months time.
Mr.. Dykcma, who has an elevator
close bv the track, IS well pleased with
the car service rules and would not
uavc them changed If nc could.
The committee will meet the General
Car Service Association at 10 O'Clock
this morning and petition for an cxtcn-
SION of the time To- five days for mllcrs
