The Secretary OF the Treasury has pre-
pared pamphlet in regard to the volume
OF money in circulation. 1t shows that
the amount in circulation July 1, 1865,
was S7l4, ,7O2, ,995. OF this amount
$3.50, ,7O2, 995 was paper money. During
the calendar year 1858 the average mar
ket price of gold ives 157. So it re-
quired $157 in currency to purchase as
much OF any commodity as could be pur-
chased with 800 in gold. The S714,-
702, ,995 then in circulation was, there
fore, equivalent as an average for the
year to only ss46, ,3Ol, ,27o Of the money
which has constituted the currency OF
tins country since January 1, 1879. This
was an amount per capita of $l3.S6. The
following is recapitulation Of the tables

Norwood's substitute for the Alliance
sub-trcasury plan avoids Federal action.
Each State lends to farmers on land and
on its own especial products at low inter
est. Thus he says he establishes equality
for all and shows favoritism to none. He
contends that his plan obvistes every OBJ
lection hitherto made to the Alliance sub
treasury piar, ana gives farmers sure re-
lief, ss the allotment of currency he pro-
poses not only equalzes it if lent by
States as the States volume of currency,
but thus distributed will remain perma-
nent in each State. because the State
being the lender an6 .he principal being
lent to its citizens it must return to the
State with interest as the principal falls

way he obtains his motive power is this:
The steam engines pump air from the
sides of the ship AMI force it out in
powerful stream behind. This would
probably give more effective means of
motion than an ordinary propeller, as all
the slip of the air on the blades or the
screw propeller would be overcome. The
ship is steered with an ordinary rudder.
