certificates, by enactment of law, ia
the same position now occupied by per
sonal checks, by common consent, eS-
cept that while man cannot be forced
to accept a check he can be compelled
to accept a legal tender. Very few
however, refuse to accept checks. ]
am not, however prepared to say just
what effect this provision would have
upon the volume of our circulating
media At present under the existing
system uiuety-two per cent of our
business is done with checks and drafts
and eight per cent with money. 1t is
impossible, however, to ascertain with
any degree of eEactitude just how
many times each dollar in existence is
checked or drawn upon. But one
thing, at least, seems to me to be clear
ly true. If all certificates of deposit,
except those Of time deposits, are made
legal tender there will then be no
money upon deposit subject to check;
hence the volume Of circulating media
viii be increased by just the amount
of money dep sitcd for less than three
months and in sums OF less than $50,
the certificates for such money, with a
legal tender quality attached, being Of
identically the same character as what
are now known as certified checks.
Now, as to the rate OF interest TO bor-
rowers. If one per cent only is paid upon
at two per cent, thus placing the plan
in exact accord with the Ocalu and
Cincinnati platforms. Besides, as the
majority OF deposits would be deposited
for less than three months. thus dra sy-
ing no interest, borrowers should OBJ
tain money for less til an even two per
cent.
But AIr Allen says; '-The sub-treas-
uTy plan is also ignored in these reso-
lutiOnsr for the reason that an increased
circulating medium and loan of money
at three per cent to the people, the
farmer would be able TO obtain at all
times fair prices for his crops without
the aid Of the ub-treasur plan

acty what Mr.. Allen means by this
I language Does he mean that the

people, Z wish TO notice one or two
points that attract my attention
First, as to the certificates of deposit
and the rate OF interest it is proposed
70 pay thereon Not only must there
be a certain Limitation in amount, below
which the people wiH pay no interest
upon deposits, but there must also be
limit in time, for a less period than
which the people pay no interest upon
deposits subject to check The
people must pay interest upon
time deposits only. Then, as
to the rate of interest Why should
the people Of the United States, as a
government guarantee absolute Sc
curity and certainty OF repayment and
yet pay four tunes as much interest
upon saviugs deposits as was paid by
private individuals on Septem ber 10,
1891, in London, Eng, for money on
call and exactly as much as was paid
there, on that date, by merchants for
money on three months time2 One
per cent is enough to pay for deposits
and that rate only when deposited for

The resolutions are simple and com

wholesome precedents found in many
of the governments of Europe.
1t is to be observed that there is no
attack made on national banks, Tor the
obvious reason that the postal savings
bank and loan plan would work
gradual extinction of these installations,
for no bank of issue could compete
with three per cent. government loans
of money TO the people.
The sub-treasurv plan is also ignored
in these resolutions, for the reason
that by an increased circulating medi-
um and loan of money at three per cent.
to the people the farmer would be able
to obtain at all times fair prices for his
crops without the aid of the sub-treas-
ury plan
Particular attention is drawn to one
[ peculiar feature OF this postal savings

A recent dispatch from New Orleans
says that the political campaign il Lou
, isiana on the lottery question was open
ed by the anti-lottery people at the
opera house there last week. The fight
is one altogether within the Democratic
ranks, the principle issue being the ac-
ceptance of the Louisiana Lottery Cons
pany's offer of $1,250,0Q year for the
extension of its charter, an issue upon
which the Democracy has divided into
Pros. who favor the acceptance of the
offer; and Ants, who oppose it. The
two factions are more bitter toward each
other than ever were the Democrats and
Republicans of old. The principal
speaker at the Grand Opera House
meeting was Rev. b. NJ. Palmer, of the
First Presbyterian Church, and asserted
to be the greatest pulpit orator in the
South, who assailed She lottery compa-
ny savagely, and declared that the peo>
pie, rather than submit,fo its DONNA
ton, would resort TO actual revolution
to get rid of it, The Pros objected to
if not civil war, but the opponents of The
lottery have taken up DR.. Planners cry
of revolution as a watchword, and de
clare that they will resort to revolution
If necessary to get rid Of the lottery. A
large number of citizens of Lincoln and
Bienville Parishes met this week adopt
ed and signed an address which they
are sending all over the State, in which
they declare as follows.
''All pledge ourselves to fight to the
bitterest end the horde of gamblers and
bribers who infest our beloved State
We pledge you even in revolution,
bloody, stern and terrible, rather than
submit TO the shame and degradation
proposed by the lottery company. We
pledge you the best blood of the land to
maintain the honor of the State
1t will, be seen from this address that
the political and lottery campaign here
has become at the very beginning even
hotter and more exciting than was ex-
Dected
