SUPPLY OF HONEY.

Comparisons are being made between the
amount of money circulating in France
and the amount in this country, which
per capita than this country has. From
this fact it is concluded, apparently with
perfect confidence by some of our states
men, that this country should double the
volume of its circulating currency.
Now, this sort of reasoning is superficial
and fallacious to the last degree. If the
census should show that the French
women use more or fewer wash tubs than
40 the American women, it would be just
as reasonable to argue thence that the
number of wash-tubs manufactured in
this country should be increased or dimin-
ished to the French standard.
The reasoning that because this coun-
try uses less money per capita than France
does, therefore this country has not enough
money in circulation, ignores altogether
the modern method of using money, by
which one dollar in actual money does the
work formerly done by seven or eight dol
ars.
The supply of money is the product of
two factors-the amount of money and the
rapidity of its circulation. In this country
the money moves rapidly and seldom lies
idle. People here don't hoard money in old
stockings, but at once deposit 1t in savings
banks, investments, etc, or else they spend
1t. The money keeps moving and is always
IN use. Evidently, if every man receiving
money were to keep it just twice as long in
his purse as he now does before investing
1t or otherwise putting it into clrcula-
ton, then it would require twice as
much money to do the work of exchange.
since the money then would move with
one half its present speed. In France there
is much boarding of money. The French
people are very economical, as rule, and
further, banking and the business of ex-
change are not developed there as they are
In this country.
For example, last year Controller LACEY,
OF the treasury department, ascertained by
investigation that very small percentage
OF our business is conducted through the
exchange of actual legal tender money. be-
cause checks, clearing house certificates
etc. are generally taken by Americans in
preference to coin, which is bulky and
heavy, and in preference to greenbacks
also, which are liable to irredeemable loss
The investigation showed that on the 1st
of July 1864 banks received S42l. S24 726
OF which only Sd ,076,616 was in coin and
paper money. On September II. 3474
banks received 1921, 27S, PSI, of which 500
@OS,226 was IN coin and paper money. To
put the thing in fractions, on July / only
$3.50 IN all kinds of money was deposited
Tor every $3.50 of checks, drafts, clearing
house certificates, etc. For the two dates
the bank receipts consisted of S.96 per
cent. OF money and 9l.04 per cent of sub
stitutes for money.
Observe that we do not say that the
country would not be benefited by an in
crease in the volume of its currency. but
we say that the fact Of France using more
money per head than we find it necessary
to use, is no argument whatever that we
have not enough money in circulation. for
the habits of each people in regard to the
use OF money are quite different.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-On Wednesday il
was announced that the secret mar
riage between L. Lee Rust, son of a
wealthy Wisconsin lumberman, and
Miss Gertrude Potter, daughter of o.
w. Potter, the millionaire vice
president of the Commercial bank and
president of the North Chicago Rolling
Mill Company, had been annulled by
Judge Horton, because of the fact that
young Rust was a minor when the mar
riage was contracted. Judge Horton
has been severely criticised for his
action, mainly because of the secrecy
surrounding the hearing of the ease
Another sensation is now created
by the announcement that Miss Potter
has been married quietly at her fa-
theirs residence. TO Julius Clarke
Daniels, of New York.
An attorney for the Potters makes
the statement that this is the second
marriage between Gertrude and Mr.
Daniels. The first, is said. occurred in
this city in 1889, at which time Daniels
secured the license under the name of
Julius Clark, giving Gertrude's name
as Gertrude White. The parents of
Miss Potter declare that the
couple never lived together Ger
trude afterwards was advised
by counsel that the marriage was
invalid, and it was under this inn
preston that she formed the union
with young Rust. When the latter
marriage became known to Mr..
and Mrs. Potter, the fact
of the former ceremony also
came out. Therefore, in order to
straighten out the ENHANCEMENT, it was
deemed best to have the Rust union an
nulled and second ceremony performed
between Daniels and his former bride.

Formal Opening of the Tunnel Under the
st. Clair River Connecting Port Huron:
Mich, with Sarnia, Ont.
PoRT HURoN, Mich, Sept 21.-The
international tunnel under the Sd
Clair river connecting the United States
and Canada was opened Saturday.
Heretofore it has taken over one hour
to transport a train by boat. At l
O'clock Saturday seven carlOa of visit
ors entered the Canadian end of the
tunnel and in just three and one-half
minutes the train reached the American
end. The train was drawn by mon
ster locomotive built expressly for he
occasion, weighing 200, 900 pounds.
At the depot the guests dsem-
barlled, when Mayor McIlwain made a
brief welcoming address, to which
Sir Henry Tyler responded. The
excursion train then returned to
Sarnia, where $50 people sat down to a
banquet given in honor of Sir Henry
Tyler. Every thing was gotten up
in the most elaborate manner. Toasts
were responded to by Sir Henry Tyler,
Sir John Ross, Gov. Winans, of Michi-
gan, Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
Erastus Wiman and others. The tun-
mel will not be used for general traffic
until October l.
THE tunnel is the longest river tunnel in the
world 1t is $3.50 feet long. From the Ameri-
can cutting TO the river edge is 100 feet,
ana from the Canadian cutting to the river
edge is 1850 feet, and the distance
across the river is $500 feet The
tunnel walls are of clst-iron segments
thirteen of which and q key form a cir.
Gle. The segment dimensions are: Length,
4 feet 10 inches: width Is inches; thickness
3 inches, with fianges inside inches deep and
IA inches in thickness. Their total weight is
2S 800 tons. The segments bored and Sc
cured in place with bolts seven-eighths of an
inch in diameter and weighing in all 1900. 090
pounds. The outside diameter OF the tunnel
il 81 feet and 20 feet inside. The soil exca.
waited amounts to g 1880 cubic feet En-
ployment has been steadily furnished TO 100
men since first the work of construction be
gan and costs complete about S3,000,0O0 1t is
year ago since the engineers, who had been
working toward each other from opposite
sides of the river, fitted their hydraulic shields
together and shook hands fathoms be-
low the surface. The approaches and
r.Hlway tracks have been completed
since that day. The Grand Trunk people be-
lieve that when the tunnel is in actual use il
will offer facilities for through communication
between Chicago and all points east which will
be greatly appreciated by passengers and by
freight shippers. 1t sho-tens the distance to
the seaboard about miles and saves two hours
in time
