 The tremendous change in the senti- ment of the people, in the short period of year, as expressed by the vote November 7th, is plainly due to the dissatisfaction of tho masses with pro- vaiing economic and industrial condi- tions, asd a lack of confidence in the measures proposed for their correction by the party in power.

all classes OF people insist that as the en-

on deposits, as merchants deposit daily,
and as nearly all money held by treasur-
ers was already in the banks, and fur

has al been called in and Cancelled ex-
cept about four hundred and fifty MILL
ions, and it is assumed that every dollar
of this is still in circulation. 1t is inn
possible to tell how much of this vast
amount was lost and destroyed during
nearly thirty years. But when the large
volume issued and tire long time is con-
sidered it must be a large sum.
Again, during the same time the gov
eminent has issued over two billions of
gold and silver certificates and has re-
deemed all but about four hundred and
seventy millions. How much OF this
large volume was lost we cannottell, but
a considerable sum must have been. To
he sure the gold and silver against which
these certificates were issued is supposed
to be in the treasury, but SO long as the
certificates are not presented the coin
must be held to redeem them, and there.
fore cannot go into circulation.
Taking the national bank notes and all
the paper money issued by the United
States treasury during the last thirty
years, and it amounts to more than SIX
and a half billions of dollars. That
there was annually large sum of this
lost and destroyed is certain, yet the de-
partment assumes that every dollar is
still in circulation unless it was Cancelled
at the treasury.
If we had no other source of infOrma-
ton the facts above. Ssiven relating to
the annual loss of coin and destruction
and loss of paper money for thirty years
would lead to the conclusion that we
cannot have much more than half the
amount of money now in circulation in
this country that is claimed in the tables
given by the director of the mint. And
this is simply confirmed by the report of
the comptroller of the currency, show
ing the exact amount of money in the
banks. 1t may be claimed by some that
have estimated the amount of money
in the pockets of the people too low,
that there were more than ten dollars on
, an average i'm the pockets of each family
in the United States. This claim will
hardly come from any one who has lived
among the farming and laboring classes
| of this country and who knows how very
| little money is usually to be found
among them. But if it were even to be
conceded that there were fifteen dollars
instead Of ten on an average in the
pockets of each family in the United
States, including the negroes of the
south and all the laboring and poorer
classes. at tlle close of business on July
IL, 1892, it would add only sixty-five
millions of dollars, which would hardly
bring the whole sum up to two-thirds OF

was tlicieII.e 'lncIuue0 IN the exports
already deducted. Still a very large
mart of it was carried out of the country
in the pockets of American travellers,
and was therefore not registered any
where. although it YVES completely loet
to this country, or if it came back it was
imported and registered and formed
part of the stock given by the director.
The European travel on the part Of
Americans has been very heaSy every
one of the twenty years since 1872, SO
that during this time there must have
been several hundred millions of coin
carried abroad in this channel alone
without being registered, and was there
fore not included in the deductions
made for exports. When this and the
other channels through which coin has
been flowing from us for twenty years
without being registered are considered,
it becomes at once apparent, even If there
were no other source of information,
that there.is not much over half of the
coin now i'll this country that is claimed.
In determining the amount of paper
money outstanding the department as
sumes that all the paper money that was
issued since 1862 is still i'll circulation
unless it has been returned to the depart
mept for cancellation. No allowance is
made for loss by destruction, nor for
money that was lost and never found.
The comptroller of the currency, in
his report for 1892, page 81, shows that
from the time the national banking sys-
tenn was created. nearly thirty years ago,
to the present, the national banks have
issued 81, 693, sol ,6S5 of currency con-
sisting of PA, 563 1922 separate bills of
different denominations. OF this, 81
| 5e1 .431, 153, consisting of 1873, 2S1 ,991
separate bills, have been Presented at
| the treasurer's Office and Cancelled or re-
deemed, and the department assumes
that the difference between the amount
issued and the amount Cancelled is still
| in circulation. Just what the loss would
be during nearly thirty years-from de-
struction and from money that was lost
and never found by anybody-on these
national bank issues it is impossible to
tell, but when the length of time and the
volume which was issued from first to
last is considered, it is apparent that the
loss must have been large.
The treasury department from time to
time since 1862 issued large volumes of
United States notes under the different
acts authorizing such issues. and then
proceeded to redeem the larger part
According to the report of Mr.. Window,
secretary of the treasury, for 1880, the
total amount of money thus issued was
nearly three billions of dollars. which

mints less re-coinace of our coins) and
the gain Tor loss) by import and export
of our own coin as registered at the Gus
tom houses, with an annual allowance
for melting of United States coin for use
in the industrial arts, based upon three
censuses taken by the bureau OF the
mint of the jcwelry trade.
In the case of silver the stock OF silver
dollars is estimated to be the Coinage
since March /, 1873, and the stock OF
subsidiary silver coin, the coinage since
1878, with an estimate of the amount III
the country at that date of S5,00o,0 cO,
aud the annual gain or loss by coinage
(export) and import, and an annual al
lowance for melting i'll the industrial
arts, as in the case of gold.
From this it will he seen that the
strange ASSUMPTION is made that every
dollar of coin that went into circulation
in this country since June 30, 1872, and
whose expectation is net registered at
the custom house, is not only still in cir
culation, but is in circulation in this
country.
No deduction is made for the money
lost and never found during twenty
years, nor for coin used in the arts by
the thousands of goldsmiths who make
no report of what they use. No deduc-
ton is made for what the Cinnamon
have sent home in twenty years, nor for
what has been carried III mems pockets
over our northern border or our south
| ern border, nor for what was carried
away in the pockets Of traders who
brought goods TO our markets and did
not register the gold they took away.
nor was any deduction made for the
vast amounts carried to Europe by
American travellers during those years.
On page IS, report OF the director of
the mint for 1891, in speaking of the
vast sums of American coin carried out
of the country in the then previous year,
the director says:
THE gold carried out of this country
| to meet the expenses, by sea and land,
| of Americans spending their summers
| abroad, must have nearly, if not quite,
| equaled the year of the Paris eX position,
when such expenditures were estimated
at over &9a, 90, 600"
Whether the director means that this
sum was carried out by American travel
ers, over and above the money they paid
/ for letters CT credit, ETC., and which was
registered 1T the custom house, is not
clear: but we will assume that part of
the above was registered at the custom
house when it left this country, and
