A NUT FOR CoNTRAcrIoNIsTs.

The Financial and Mining Record
gives the currency contractionists some
hard nuts to crack by publishing com
parative tables showing the per capita
circulation Of gold and silver in the
United States and other leading COM
mercial nations. 1t wants to know upon
what ground these gentlemen insist that
$1,000 in gold with IS in silver per head,
coupled with less than $3.50 per head in
paper none and $1.20 Of subsidiary sill
YER, supply an amount OF money entirely
adequate for a country which covers SO
vast an area Of territory as ours, with SO
marvellous a business and Industrial ac-
tivity as that of our people when France,
compactly populated, or with an area not
larger than that of New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland and West Virginia, pos
sesses a none circulation OF $9OO,OoO,-
600 in gold, s%7OO,O0o,O00 in silver and
900 in paper, with S~53,OOO,O00 in
subsidiary silver for a population OF
about 3S,25O,OO0 souls! In other words,
while France possesses 1886 per head
of gold to our $1,000 per head, she has
$3.50 of legal tender silver to our $6,
and besides all this s15.6S of legal tender
paper money to our s6.70 per head.
Moreover, a comparative glance at the
thriftiest and most industrious peoples OF
Europe, will show us that Holland, with
as much gold per head as $3.50, has also
S14.44 per head of silver with more than
S1S in paper money; and Belgium, with
s1O.66 in gold, has 1922 per head in sill
yer with at least Sl3 in paper money.
Thus we find that three peoples SO
prosperous as the French, Dutch and
Belgians, with an aggregate population
of but 49,S50,O00 souls, at most, covering
an area not so large as the New England
states, New York, Pennsylvania and the
other middle states, together with Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, have, in the
aggregate, s2s7, 100000 more gold with
fully S43O,OOO,OOO more silver than the
people of the United States have with
65,O 1000 souls. Even the Australian
colonies have a gold coinage amounting
to s25 per head, which is $3.50 greater
than the gold and standard dollar cur
rency united of the United States at
this time. Further, these same colonies
have a subsidiary coinage of S1.75, with
at least 1915 per head of credit money,
making an aggregate of money appli-
ances of s34.75 per head, or 1896 greater
than our people possess!
The Records analysis of the above
figures shows that were the French to
be brought down to a specie monetary
basis no greater per head of their popu-
ton chan that of the people of the
United States at this time, they would
have to get rid of specie money to the
extent of 5000, 100000, of which s4S3.-
O75,O00 would be gold.

Paid too Much.

New YORK, March 25.-An exciting scene
occurred at the Real Estate exchange to-
day when Martin F. Hatch, acting for the
Merchant Tailors' society. stood before a
crowd of several hundred prominent bust
ness and society men and sold to the high
est bidder thirty-fve unpaid tailor hills.
These bills bore the nance of we'll known
New Workers, and those who did not pay up
before the sale were held up for public
ridicule. The righteousness of the sale
can be realized when several bills amount
ing to seven hundred and odd dollars were
sold in a bunch to a Hebrew tailor for ST..

THE probable future of silver prices
formed the subject of an inquiry lately
made by the London Financial Times
among leading firms at the English cap
ital. While there was some hesitation
on the part of those interviewed about
expressing decided opinions upon the
course of a market liable to SO many
fluctuations, they seem to have agreed
in the conclusion that the future course
of the market must be upward, or at
least that there will be no further fall in
the price OF the metal.

The esteemed Herald should handle
the language carefully. The term
''bunko' does not fit the Citizens move
ment. 1t is a corruption of the italian
word .'banco," which mean a bank or
meney-changer's stall. If the repub-
lioan machine should nominate Klein
schmidt or Hershfield for mayor that
ticket could then be properly, but not
Extensively, designated as the bunkc
ticket. 1t doesn't fit the Citizens party
in the least.
