country. Il never met with any op-
position except from the gold brokers
OF Europe, their agents in this coun-
try and their Ignorant political sup
porters who ease their conscience by
calling gold honest money and every
other money dishonest. In the early
'7Vs the greenback doctrine was
called the 'FOhio idea" because the
democrats Of that state had made a
successful campaign with it. But in
the national democratic convention
of 1876 it was excluded from the
platform by the supporters of Tilden,
and although it has grown in favor
ever SINCE it has been excluded from
the platforms of both old parties.

The amount of national and state
bank currency and specie in circula-

the secretary of the treasury for 1892,

quite agree with Mr.. Dunning's table
as given in his little treatise, "The
Power of Money to Cypress and the
Volume of Money in Circulation"
because the time for which the state

amount in circulation, however, is

half the amount in circulation ir

But there is another element thai
must enter into this calculation. Priol
to the close of the war practically tho
whole Of the United States and ma
tional bank currency was in clrcula
tion in the northern states among
about 25,OO0,OOO of people. Figur'
ing upon this basis the per cspitG
would be about one-thlrd greater
than we have stated it; and the dis
tribution of a share Of this money
among the people of the southern
states after the close Of the war, oper-
ated as q contraction Of the currency
to the extent of about one-third, say
ing nothing Of the retirement and de-
struction of paper currency that
Immediately followed. It is absolute
folly to talk about having a greater
amount Of money in circulation now
than there was at the close Of the war.
Every person living at that time
knows better. It ls simply part Of
the plan of the conspirstors through
whose agency the peoples money has
been destroyed to deceive them now
concerning the facts.
But there are other facts concern
ing this question of the amount Of
money in circulation that should be
considered in this connection.
Q) The treasurer IN computing
the volume of money now in Oircula-
tion takes into account every dollar Of
gold and silver coined, and every dol
lar of paper money issued, and counts
in circulation the whole amount not
held in the United States treasury.
He never makes any estlmnte of the
coin lost or consumed in the arts, nor
of the paper currency lost or de-
stroyed during the long period since
It's issue. To show something OF what
this loss may be IN paper currency, it
may be stated in relation to the frsc-
tionsl currency that the largest
amount in circulation at any one
time was S45,912,OO3.34. The act OF
January IA, 1875, provided for the
retention and retirement OF this cur
rency. Five years afterwards there
were still outstanding of this frac-
tion currency $15, 5,58O,888 81. On June
21, 1879, an act of congress declared
$8,375, ,934 of this currency lost or de-
stroyed. Since that time up to 1891,
only $299, ,2l040 had been redeemed
and Senator Sherman declared that
the remaining $6,915, ,749 81 was prob
ably lost. If such is the case this
would make a very large percentage
of that currency that was lost or de-
stroyed during the fifteen years
previous. Notwithstanding this fact,
the treasurer still continues to sub
tract from the total issue of green
backs the amount redeemed and
retired, and to report the entire bal
ance still IN circulation. If more

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-06

subject carefully, that the total amount Of
money in the United States to-day is but
little more than one-half the amount named
in the report Of the director Of the mint.
That report proceeds upon the basis that
every dollar of coin that went into OiFCula-
tion in the country since June 80, 1872, and
whose expectation is not registered at the
custom house, is not only still in circulation,
but is in circulation in the United States.
No deduction is made for the money lost
and never found during twenty years, nor
for coin used in the arts, Of which no re-
port is ever made, nor for what Cinnamon
have sent home during that period, and
lastly, not for the vast amounts carried 10
Europe by American travellers during the
above named period. There is no Oppor-
tunity for calculating or knowing what
amount leaves the country in the pockets of
these travellers. The same holds good with
reference to paper money, and the treasury
department assumes that all the paper
money issued since 1864, less that specially
returned for cancellation, is still in ciroula-
tiOn; no allowance has been made for loss
By destruction, nor for money that was lost
and never found. It would be we'll for the
country TO know the whole truth, and not to
continue deceiving itself with the idea that
its circulating medium represents between
S24 and S25 per capita Of population, when
il really does not amount TO more than $14
per capita. There must be some way of
asCertsining which side of the case is cor
rect, and it is due to the people that they
should know the truth.
Mr.. Leech, director of the mint, in
his report for 1889, page Sc, refers
to these same elements of uncer-
tsinty.
~ Whatever may be the actual
volume of money in circulation no
careful observer will deny that the
chances are, owing to the facts above
stated that 1t is largely overestimsted.
That it Is insufficient for the demands
of trade and commerce, every man
must be conscious from his own OBJ
servstion and experience. The vol
ume of business since the war has
been constantly increasing, and good
business sense would dictate a CORE
spending increase in the volume Of
money.
(9 A very large per cent. of the
volume Of money actually outside Of
the United States treasury is not
available for business purposes. All
the banks are required by law to hold
from 10 to rs per cent. of their de-
posits as a reserve, and if they COM
ply with the law, these reserves are
as completely unavailable for busi-
ness purposes as though they were at
the bottom of the ocean. But in sd-
dition to this, there Is large per-
centsge of the paper currency
included in the report of money in
circulation Of denominations that sb-
solutely preclude its general use. The
denominations and amounts are as
follows:
Five hundred dollar bills .,.........$ 23.52l0 900
One thousand dollar bills. ........... 5l,0lS,000
Five thousand dollar bills ........... 31,l15OO0

TIE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN ORR
OULATION.

The annual report OF Tresdrer
Morgan has been submitted to Sec
retary Carlisle, and the statement is
again suthorltatively made that che
money in the hands of the people is
greater than ever before. Mr.. Nor
gan says:
The revised figures for the amount of
money in circulation, that 10 outside Of the
treasury, en- June 30 place 10 ct 81, ,596 S46,-
$780, or about Sc 100000 less than it was a
year before. During the four months end
ing with October there was an increase OF
100000, a record altogether without
parallel in the history Of the country. The
aggregate Of money in the hands Of the peO-
ple and the average per capita WERE BROUGHT
TO HIGHER FIGURE THAN BAD EVER BE-
FORE BEEN REACHED.
That this is an absolute falsehoOd
we will proceed to show; and the first
witness we shall introduce is John
Jay Knox, who was comptroller OF
the currency IN the '7Gs and must
therefor be admitted as qualified to
testify. In an address before the
American Bankers association in the
city of Pittsburg, Pa, October II,
1887, he said:
About four years after the war had COM
menCed, in August, 1865, the public debt
amounted to 2,845 million 907 thousand
lfty-four hundred and twenty-six dollars;
and included in this immense mountain Of
indebtedness, there were 1,540 millions of
treasury notes, either payable on demand
or bearing interest, of which more than
1900 millions was q legal tender. If tenn
porary loans, payable in 30 days, and certi-
Hcates Of indebtedness, payable one year
after date, should be included with treasury
notes, the whole would amount to consider
ably more than three -ffths OF the 2,845 mil
lions of the debt Of the country. OF this
debt there were $50 millions Of legal tender
seven thirty notes, 2l7 millions Of COM
pound interest per cent. legal tender notes,
26 millions of fractional currency, and 493
millions Of demand legal tender notes.
Now, it will be observed that Mr..
Knox makes no pretense of stating
the total amount of money in circu-
lation. He deals only with United
States currency. Taking his state
ment as the basis of our circulation
we may itemize the amount and kind
Of currency in circulation in 1866 as
