IHE CURRENCY NOT COyrRACrED.-Wash-
ing on, ID. c.. Aug. "A statement has been
pre- pared at the treasury dsp,r:m ant in re.
gard 10 the amount of money in circulation
on the fi-st day Of July 1860, 1865, 1885.
1889 and 1891, from which it appears that
the assertion that here hos been since the
war great reduction Of the am,unt of
money in circulation is without foundation.
The sta cement is as follows:
All the statements furnishel are mn le
upon the same basis. The amount of each
kind OF money in the country is first s. atcd ::
from th,t is deducted the amount ia tho
treasury and the remain Ter gives the
amount in circula ion. There is nothing omit
ted from the statement which ould appear
there except minor coins (niokels aud pen
nies) and they are left out of all report, be-
cause Of the diversity in estimation of the
amount of them 10 use.
"As the amount at present is certainly
grciter than earlier years their omission will
not be unfhvorably criticized by those who
contend that there is q contradiction of
money.
The amount of money in circulation in<
1860 was about S435, 900, 900 and the amount
per capita was $l3,85. In 1865 there were
$723, 900 900 in c,rcula' a'ion and The per
c,pita amount was $20.82. Twenty years
later the circulation was over pl ,23y 100000
and the per capita was S23 .02. while on the
first of January last the amount was neirly
81 ,529 900, 900 with $24 10 as the per capita
allowance. the highest in the history Of the
Uni'ed States"
Owing to the shipment of gold t. foreign
countries there has been decline since
January, 1891, not only in the per capita
am ,unt but the total also but the iotN cir
culation on the 1st. iust., notwithstanding
the outflow Of g'ld, was about 81 SOC, 900, 900
and the amount per cap "a was $29.37.

speakers said that he had not been to Union
more than half dozen times i'm the last

The speaker is mild hammered iuoffensivc

insult him wi hout sufficient cause. He was
n mighty good town man while he lived here,

the audience to fever heat of excitement.

down with his sublimest effort smothered
in its birth. He, at least, did not share the
surprise of Lady Ossulstone that Il gentle
