WASHINGTON, May 2.-Secretary
Window has writtsd letter in reply
to an article In a financial newspaper
on the general subject OF currency, In
which ne refutcs the assertion tina,
the Administrator favors con.
traction Of the currency. BE gives
figures in regard to the circulation
and treasury holdings on May LIST,
and makes comparison with an
estimate Of the circulation Of the
principal countries Of Europe. Ac-
cording 10 these figures, and
estimating the present population OF
the United State at "a, 0o0,0 200, the
amount OF metallic and paper money
in the United States, not including
any portion Of the amount held by
the treasury, is 1926 FER capita, or
more than in any Of the leading
countriS Of Europe, with the ex-
ception Of France, In which the
| circulation is estimated
AT 1916 PER CAPITA.
In regard to the money supposed
to be boarded by the Unit ID States
Treasury, the Secretary says:
aside from the fund deposited In
the Treasury by the national banks
for redemption Of notes, and the
balances on deposit by discussing
officer, the only reserve which is
kept by the Treasury is sl00, 900, 900
in gold for the redemption Of legal
| tender notes. The so-called surplus,
which is the excess Of receipts over
expenditures, can lie used under the
present law only in the redemption
OF the bonded debt Of the United
States. which Il being done as rapid
Is as the bonds can be judiciously
purchased.
1.-THE surplus on the first Instant,
exclusive Of fractional silver coin,
amounted to only SIS, 93O, 625, Of
which s3I ,66S, sos WIS on deposit in
national banks, performing the duty
1of a circulating medium II is the
policy and purpose OF the depart
ment 20 withdraw a large portion Of
this deposit and invest it in United
States bonds as rapidly as It can he
done without danger OF decreasing
the actual circulation"
The secretary closes: 81 have al

report an increase in the currency,
amounting 10 about So, 900, 600 per

Alliance Triumph.

President Stackhouse Of the State
Farmers Alliance says that the iutc
trust is now offering to sell bagging
J for this years crop at seven cents
Fer yard. We presume the state
#ment is correct. 1t indicates great
triumph for the Alliance and should
encourage that body to continue its
work against monopolics and trusts.
If such a reduction can be effected
by so short period of union and
concerted action there is no telling
how much more can be done to
Tighten the burden under which our
farmers arc groaning.
The war against the jutc trust has
been in progress in this State for
only one year. The Alliance met
with great opposition, but the sue
cess of their effort has silcnccd most
of their opponents. We now hear
nothing of cotton bagging being so
flimsy and worthless. The Charles
ton buyers are no longer clearing
seventy five cents per bale from the
stupidity of tho Alliance. The
farmers had endured the cxactions
of the iute trust until there was lo
remedy but to fight the monopoly.
They arc i'll position now to die
tate their own terms to tho trust.
This advantage has bccn gained
by standing together and is an in
ducement for the members of the
organization to pcrscvcrc in the
good work. Tho farmers arc now
in better hoart than they have been
for years. They have had more
ready money, have met their obli-
cations more easily and begin this
crop year under better conditions
than usual. The outlook should be
gratifying to every man who desires
the general prosperity and happiness
of the country If the farmers
prosper all other occupations will
reap some Of the benefit of their
good fortune. The Alliance is on
the crest of the wavc.-lbbcyWo
Met3iunu.

How the Mississippi Wns Made.

AS possible theory of the origin
of the Mississippi River, among the
many that have at different times
been brought forward by noted
scientists, the most recent is The sug-
gcstion that its erosion was accom-
plished by means of a mighty cata-
ract, which began far down the
river, near the mouth, and by gradual
rctrogrcssion, dug out the valley like
gorge. That this theory is tcnablc
may be inferred from the high, wall
like bluffs, features so characteristic
in the upper part of its course. A
wearing away of monster cataract
would, Of course, necessarily leave
high bluff walls on either side,
which are well known features of
"tho father of mcandcring streams"
1t would seem, according to this
theory, that St. Anthony falls con-
stitutcs the remnant of what was
once the most studcndous cataract
in the world. 1t is estimated that
it must have taken 100000 years to
carve out the mighty ditch.--.H.

Tho Importance of Occupation.

There is nothing that adds more to
the zcst of life than an interesting
occupation; even if it means hard
work, there is a rccompcnsc in the
enjoyment Of well earned rest. No
work ought, however, to ,e over
powcring, or so exhaustive that ones
energies fall below their aspirations.
On the other hand, no life is so
thoroughly wrctchcd as one where
the necessity and desire for work is
entirely wanting; and this is partic-
ularly true of persons of cduacation
and intelligence who allow themselves
to fall into that unsettled condition
of mind where nothing is of inter
est. 1t is difficult ut inst to force
an interest, but when thr first step
is made the habit of regular occu-
patton, if only for one or two hours
a day, becomes valuable. Active
minds, if not supplied with some
subject for solid thought, will finally
prey upon themselves, and end by
breaking down the physical health.

The "Clerk Of the County Court"
if farmer, or otherwise entitled to

One of the best ways to accom-
mend and apply prohibition you'd
be for those who have the power to
do some practical prohibiting, quite
irrespective of any Legislation on the
subject. 1t was With satisfaction,
that we read Of the recent action
OF the Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy
Railroad in issuing stringent orders
against intcmpcrancc among it's
employees. The men are warned
that they will be under suspicion if
seen in saloons. a second oficnsc
of drunkenness will be visited with
pcrcmptory discharge. 1t is stated
that all the leading railroad com
panics are gradually adopting rules
of that sort. The result is that
there has been notable change in the
habits of railroad employees. They
are now as a rule temperate men,
and often total abstaincrs.. No areu-
mcnt is needed to show how indis-
pcnsablc it is that men engaged in
such work should let liquor alonc.-

Tho S >Iool Book Burden.

Perhaps the heaviest burden our
people have to meet is the expense
of school books. The nnmber re
quired seems to us moro than ncccs-
sary and the price is out Of reason.
We cannot understand why small
primer should cost twenty-five cents
when set of novels of Dickens
containing twelve volumes can be
bought for $3.50. The topographic
cal work in one of these novels
costs more than setting UP the type
for a primer. The number of primers
required for the schools is greater
than the demand for Dickens and
according to the usual rule of supply
and demand the primer should be
the cheaper book. 1t cannot be
said that it takes man of greater
intellect than Dickens to prepare
one Of these primers. The higher
price then cannot be accounted for
by estimating tho cost of printing
the school book. Neither can it be
justly charged to the fact that better
pay is necessary for securing men of
superior intellect to get up these
elementary works. The high price
must come about because there
exists some kind of trust that is
reaping cxhorbitant profits from the
book business.
Besides the high price there arc
too many books used. There is no
use for Il half dozen books to teach a
child how to read. Neither arc two
or three Biographies essential to Il
common school education. This evil
needs abatement.
Nearly every member of the ALI
ancc can appreciate the truth OF
what is said above. If they will
take the matter in charge they can
effect II cure. The remedy is in
their own hands and all they have
to do is to take the matter in hand.
They need not take any radical
steps and they need not deprive tho
children OF one advantage. Thou
sands Of dollars can be saved and
the schools be as efficient as now.
The present is a proper time to
begin movement against the
school book imposition. We DO not
say who is responsible for the condi-
tions now existing. but we arc abso-
lutcly certain that a great beneficial
change is possible and dcsirablc.-
