the lack of confidence which destroys
the usefulness of those substitutes for
money which are ordinarily so largely
employed in our business affairs.
The fact is we'll known that over 80
per cent of our financial and CONNER
cial transactions are carried on by
means of notes, checks, drafts and
similar devices. There is comparative
" very little actual money used I'M
der ordinary conditions. Men prefer
paper that represents personal credit
and confidence, as it is more con,
venient and ia every way more salts
factory. But when a feeling of gen.
eral distrust takes possession of the
public mind it implies an undermining
of credits, and money is demanded in
an excessive and unreasonable meas
ure. Merchants and others who have
been in the habit of conducting their
affairs according to methods involving
the use of as little money as possible
can not readily adapt themselves to
the policy of using money for all pur-
poses. The supply is not equal to
such radical change in the business
system of the country. Credit ceases
to count for what it is worth, and &C
comnodations that have been before
freely granted are abruptly taken
away. There is a stringency under
such circumstances, of course, but it
does not mean that money has all at
once become paralyzingly scarce. The
volume of currency remains as large
as ever and would be abundant for all
legitimate wants if it were not for the
the decline of confidence that virtually
eliminates from the situation those
familiar and effective instrumentalitie
by which over 80 per cent of the total
amount of business is transacted with
out the use of a dollar of actual
money.-Globe-pemocrat.

The Scarcity Of Money.

1t is difficult for many people to
understand why money has suddenly
become so scarce. The reason given
in most cases for the suspension Of
banks is that they cannot obtain cur
rency on collaterals of the best quail
ty; and it is even said that advances
of cash have been refused even where
Government bonds were offered as Sc.
curity. This seems at first glance to
signify decided and mysterious
shrinkage in the volume of money;
but in reality it does not mean any,
thing of the kind. There is quite as
much money in the country now as
there was year ago. We have lost
some gold, to be sure, but it was not
actually a part of the circulating
medium; and the decrease in that re.
spect has been more than made up by
the increased coinage Of silver and
the additional notes issued by the ma
tional banks. 1t is not true, therefore,
that the prevailing stringency is due
to reduction Of the general amount
OF currency. We have as puch Of it
as we had when we were doing more
business. A cppsiderable quantity Of
it has been diverted from the channels
OF trade by tipId depcsitors who haye
taken 1t out Of banks and put 1t 10
safs'dGposit boxes; but there is still
enough left for all practical and
necessary purposes is it Ker9 not for

PREPARING TO BE BURIED ALIVE.
Mind. Reader Seymour WIN Attempt a
Remarkable Feat.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, July 24.-Mueh in
terest is being manifested here in the
proposed attempt of Mind-Reader A.
j. Seymour TO be buried alive and re-
main IN the ground while crop Of
barley is sown, ripened and harvested
oyer his grave. DR. f. &. Dunn of
this city, having been selected to take
charge OF the test, was interviewed at
hls home by the correspondent, An
drew Seymour, son of the professor,
was also present at the interview, and
expressed the belief that his father
can successfully perform the feat
DR.. Dunn said There is no ques.
ton that this test can be performed.
l have seen it performed successfully
three times in India, at Allahabad,
Delhi and Benares. There will be
considerable preparation before the
body IS inhumed. For several days
Seymour will be fed upon fat and
heat producing food. The object of
this is to provide an excess of caIoric.
He will then throw himself into a cat
aleptic state, controlling the action
of the lungs and heart. The lungs
will then be filed with pure air to
their utmost capacity and the tongue
placed back and partially down the
throat in such a manner as to COM
pletely close the aperture of the lungs.
The nose, eyes, ears, etc, will be her
metically sealed with wax. A prep
artion of paraffine will be spread over
the entire body to close the pores of
the skin.
1.-The body will then be ready for
burial. 1t will then be put in casket
much larger than would be used were
the professor being buried for good.
This will be placed inside of another
casket and both will be perforated, in
order that if any poisonous gases ex-
ude from the body, which we do not
expect, they will make their escape
and be absorbed by the soil The in
terment will be made in a clay soil,
because of its impelviousness to water.
Il think the professor insists on re-
naming under ground too long. We
cannot ripen barley, even if we soak
and sprout it before hand, much under
six weeks. Besides, if he were buried
In field we might not be able to
guard against curious mobs. My
plan is to rent a vacant house and
make the interment in the cellar in
the presence of witnesses, having two
responsible persons guard the grave
day and night. l would rather not
leave him under ground more than
four weeks, although he has insisted
on remaining longer"
The doctor added that the feat can
be accomplished as easily as a bear
can hibernate during the winter sea-
son. The test will be made probably
before August l., either in lockwood
or Chicago. Seymour will be here to.
morrow to go on with his arrange
ments. He carries $40, 900 insurance
on his life. One of the companies
wrote him that if he attempted the
feat the policies would be cancelled,
but the doctor declares this will not
prevent the test.

"The currency question is not the
most vital one with which we have to
deal. The poison lies deeper. No
temporary anodyne of financial legis-
Iation will eradicate il, The silver
scare will not be long oyer before
some other scare will begin unless We
go to the bottom of the trouble and
get the business and industry OF the
country off the artificial basis upon
which it is being conducted and upon
solid ground again. The countrys
prosperity will never be permanently
established while an annual tax of
three or four hundred millions is laid
npon its industries No matter what
disguise it may assume, our present
tariff system il essentially tax upon
the producing aud industrial classes.
The National Government is support
ed by 3 tax, not upon property, but
upon consumption.
"The tariff is assessed, not upon
what men own, bat upon what they
eat and drink and wear. 1t is too
largely per capita tax. Under IL it
is easily possible that q poor man
with q large family may be compelled
TO pay more taxes for the support of
the National Government than an eco
nomical millionaire with only himself
to keep. An average man in the mid
die and lower classes, making income
a basis OF classification, spends say
70 per cent of his income for food
and clothing.
"Fhe average rich man cannot spend
over 5 per cent of his income for the
same purpose. National taxes being
levied as they are, the general mass
of the people, the producing and in
dustrlal classes, and the great body
OF merchants, tradesman and profes-
sional men pay Is times as much tax
in proportion to their means as the
rich man. There lies the secret of
national distress.

THE PERMANENT REMEDY.

"The only permanent remedy is In
o reimbursement of this great burden
of taxation and equalizing its pressure
upon all alike, Other countries do
this. There is no reason why the
United States cannot. To SUCH re-
form the Democratic party is pledged.
Upon the strength of that pledge it
came into power.
"Four years before the Republican
party had promised to revise the tar
jill, and in the faith that revision would
be in the line of reduction and an
equalization of tax burdens, the peo-
pie elected Mr.. Harrison. The Repub-
licans fulfilled their promises by pass
ing the Mckinley BILL increasing the
tariff and and perpetuating its Unequal
tiles. The next election practically
wiped the Republican party as then
constituted out of existence. The
Mckinley bill mistake of the Republic

which the Democratic party would be

which it elected Cleveland.
