VOLUME OF
BY L FOGY.

The circulating medium of any
country as to its volume should be
based on its population and civiliza-
ton.
Political economists ordinarily lose
sight of the fact that a prorata circu-
lation that would have been ample a
century ago would not be sufficient
now.
l can best make these propositions
plain by example.
/:
RATIO OF POPULATION AND CIRCULATION.
If a country with LOCO, 900 inhabi-
tants has a pro rata of wealth of 800
per capita and its circulating medium
is $40 per capita, and this proportion
is found ample for their needs, 1t does
not follow that this proportion would
be sufficient for country whose civil,
zation was higher.
2:
RATIO OF POPULATION AND CIVILIZATION.
If the country we have used as an
example uses hand labor IN mining,
manufacturing and agriculture and
another country of equal area and
population used the labor of ciiUilization,
that is, the labor of other generations
c~rystalized into improved methods and
Improved machinery, the circulating
medium ought to be proportional to
the amount of crystalized labor used,
as well as pro rata with population.
Each laborer in the first instance only
represents himself, in the latter case
each laborer is representing the labor
OF tens and hundreds of other laborers
whose brain and Drawn developed and
perfected the machines or methods
used.
This leads US to the conclusion that
circulation ought to be commensurate
with civilization as we'll as population.
To-day governments are willing to
issue certi6cates-a currency bill of
exchange-on the products of gold
and silver, mines but upon no other
products. And why? Simply be-.
cause the ,hucksters of the world can
control and store in their own bank
vaults by Legislative enactments and
control the amount to be used.
Iron has a much greater practical
value than gold or silver but it is so
plentiful that it could not be con-
trolled.
Is it not just as practicable to issue
bills of exchange on wheat Dr. cotton
deposited as it is on gold or silver?
1--WE shall see what we will see."

OFFICIAL

announcement from the Chairman Of the
Committee on Legislation Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3, 1890.
In pursuance of the action taken at st.
Louis by the Supreme Council, the under
signed called upon Hon. Robert A. Porter,
Superintendent of the United States
Census Bureau, on the Goth ultimo and
presented him a copy Of the resolutions
passedby the Supreme Council requesting
that the next census be made to contain
evidence as to the number of renters and
land owners also the amount of mortgage
Indebtedness. He assured the under
signed, in the press nee of United States
Senators Coke and Reagan, that the
census enumeration, as he now contem-
plates taking it, will contain evidence as
to the number of persons who own land,
city and country separate. and the number
who rent or lease; the number of mort
cages upon real estate as shown by the
records in each of the counties, the amount
of such mortgages, the number of acres
so m~ortgaged and the rate of interest
named in each mortgage, all of which will
be so separated and classified that the
encumbrance upon country and city realty
may be estimated separately.
While this does not cover all the points
asked by the SupremeC Council at st. Louis
it does seem to practically furnish the
data necessary, and the undersigned thinks
the Superintendent of Census deserves
creditor the effort he is making to
accommodate the public demand in this
direction.
G. W. MACUNE,
Chairman Executive Board and
Com. on Legislation, N. F. A and /. U.
The above has been submitted to Hon.
Robert 81. Porter for correction and was
returned with the statement that, "as to
the number of persons who own land, city
and country separate, and the number
who rent or lease" could not be obtained
from the records. 1t is therefore under
stood that this class of information will
come from the house to house canvass
This is the only correction offered to the
above statement, consequently it has been
ratified as legal.

Tie Communion of Mutton.

The rapid increase in the consumption
of mutton in the United States is consid-
cred worthy Of especial note in the an
nual report of the department of agri-
culture for the current year. The secre.
tary for agriculture observes that can
vass of the principal cities of the couu-
try would evidently show that the con-
sumption of mutton has doubled IN
thirteen years, that is between 1875 and
1888. being a rate of increase twice as
rapid as the advances of population. He
adds that "the healthfulness of mutton,
its suitability for summer use in warm
climates. and its growing popularity as
highly fed animals of the best mutton
breeds become more common in our mar
kets, contribute to the rapidly enlargine
demand, - aud he considers that .sthis
bran n of sheep raising should receive
greater attention.
