WINDOW ON SILVER.
A LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY.

He Denies that the Administration Seeks
to Contract the Volume of the Currency
He Recalls the Fact that His Report Fa-
vOrs Increasing Our Money.
Washington dispatch: Secretary Win
dom has written a letter in reply to an
article in financial newspaper on the
general subject of the currency in which
he undertakes to refute the assertion.
that the administration favors the con-
traction of the currency. He gives
figures in regard to the circulation and
treasury holdings May 1 and makes COM
parison with the estimated circulation
of the principal countries Of Europe.
According to these figures and. esti-
mating the present population of the
United States at Ga, 100000 the amount
of metallic and paper money in the
United States. not including any portion
of the amount held by the treasury of
the United States is $22.3 81 per capita,
or more than in any of the leading
countries in Europe with the exception
of France, in which the circulation Is
estimated at S57.36 per capita. Mr..
Window says:
''In regard to the money supposed to
be boarded by the United States treas
ury, aside from the fund deposited in the
treasury by national banks for the re-
demption of their notes which have been
retired, which the government holds as
a trustee, and the balances on deposit in
the treasury by disburSing officers, the
only reserve which is kept by the treas
ury is 500, 900, 900 in gold for the re-
demption of legal-tender notes as pro-
vided by the acts of 1875 and 1882.
E'There is no disposition on the part
of the administration of the treasury to
hoard money, and the sO-called surplus,
which is the excess of the receipts over
the expenditures, can be used under the
present law only in the redemption of
the bonded debt of the United States,
which is being done as rapidly as the
bonds can be iudiciouslY purchased. The
surplus on the 1st inst amounted to
only S26, $50, 623, exclusive of fractional
silver coin, of which $31, GAS. sos was on
deposit in national banks performing the
duty of circulating medium. 1t is the
policy and purpose of the department to
withdraw large portion Of this deposit
and invest it in United States bonds as
rapidly as it can be done without dan
ger of decreasing the actual circula-
ton"
The secretary closes his letter as fol-
lows:
81 have already recommended in my
annual report an increase of currency
amounting to about $4,000, 900 per
annum. 1t should be evident, therefore,
that this letter is not intended to eX-
press any opinion as to the sufficiency of
our currency, but only to correct certain
statements as to it's quantity"

What Mrs. GrundY Says.

That now is the time when athletic
young men reassert themselves.
That some very striking effects are to
be noted in spring dress fashions.
That fashionable society does not do
great deal of disinterested entertaining.
That professional baseball playing by
no means interests as many people as 1t
did.
That the wiset women are those who
let the complexion lotions severely
alone.
That it looks as if there was to be
lulI in the storm of making fortunes in
a week.
That people who complain or olscour-
tesv at churches always let the plate
pass by.
That it puzzles unsophisticated Amer
leans to know how to address the nc
bility.
That, as might have been expected
the type-writing girls nave become
drug.
That there is no trial of patience 80
great as the management OF "hIred
girls"
That modest and retiring people are
generally the ones GndC arc "oICn Cul6l-
waiting.
That fashionable folk who are not GO
ing to Europe this season begin to feel
miserable.
That people who stake no interest in
genealogy'' in eight cases out of ten
haven't any.
That if boasting counts for promi-
nence, every body in society is very
conspicuous.

End of the Great Carpenters Strike at
Chicago.
The great carpenters strike at Chicago
is finally settled. The necessary papers
have been signed and ratified by both bodies
concerned in the arbitration. and before
the week closes scores of buildings that for
four weeks have been practically deserted
will echo with the sounds of the hammers
and saws in the hands of fully 1000 jour
neymen carpenters. The document signed
provides that eight hours shall constitute
a days work. work to begin at 8 O'Clock
a. m. and end at 5 o'clock p. m. The noon
hour may be curtailed by special arrange
ment between the foreman and the major
itv Of the workmen, but not in such way
as to permit more than eight hours work
between the hours named. 1t was further
stipulated that overtime shall not COM
mence before 6 o'clock p. m. and shall end
not later than Z O'Clock "a. m. The minimum
rate of wages has been fixed at 35 cents an
hour up to Aug. 1. and thereafter at 81 %
cents an hou". Overtime shall be rated at
time and half, and Sunday time shall be
reckoned at double time. In the matter Of
appren tees. each contractor is allowed to
keep all the apprentices he now has. and
shall be allowed to take one additional APP
prentice each year from this time on. I'm
ion men will not be required to work with
non union men. The new association rec
ognizes and agrees to employ only union
m4n. This is regarded as perhaps the
greatest victory Of the iourneymen.
