OF this amount the official report
claimed that $712 ,416, 883.36 were in
the U. S. treasury; and 1887 ,551,-

people as money. 1t will be seen
that the figures do not greatly differ
from those of the report of Aug. J.,
1898.
The U. S. treasurer, however, ad-
mits that the certificates of deposit
are simply representatives OF money
in the treasury, which cannot be
counted twice, and hence, with a
sweep of his pen he reduces the ag-
gregate from $2,O99, $685. 1S.47 to ST.

included, except to deceive the peo-
ple. who will read the report and not
the explanations.
Mr.. Dunning first shows, from the
treasurer's report, that the gold and
silver bullion held by the U. S. treas
ury amounts to $76,439,5SS. This is
not money, any more than pork or
wheat would be. 1t is commodity;

Wednesday, Aug. 23d, is republished
by request.--THE EDITOR.
We have received the following
letter which explains itself:
MADISON LAKE, July I, '93.
HON. IGNATIUs DONNELLY.
DEAR SIR:-In arguing the course
OF the peoples party, am often con-
fronted with the statement of the
associated press that the amount of
money per capita in the United
States is almost $26. AS / have Onlv
been reading the REPRESENTATIVE
for month, / will transgress upon
your kindness and valuable time by
asking you for an explanation. and
statement of what the circulation
really is. Yours respectfully,
WILLIAM N. SMITH.
The question asked by our cores
pondent is an important one, about
which there is great deal of mis-in-
formation and much absolute decep-
tiOn.
Here for instance is the last
monthly statement of the Treasury
Department issued by the democrat
ic secretary Of the treasury; we say
democratic" to emphasize the fact
that it is, in form, but repetition
of all those made during President
Harrison's administration. In this
matter politics makes no difference
Plutocracy has no partisanship.
Washington, D. c., Aug. 2.-The
circulation statement issued by the
Treasury Department today shows
that the amount of the gold and sill
yer coin and certificates, United
States notes and national bank notes
in circulation Aug. l, was 81 ,6l1 $685.
III, an increase during the month of
July of SIT ,237 ,606. The increase
during the last II months in round
figures is $9,O0OO0O. The per capita
circulation, based on an estimated
population of 100000 August /,
was $24.02.
Of the So, 1923, 96S, $40 Of the general
stock of money issued the amount
as stated is in circulation, leaving
$512,S69,632 in the Treasury of the
United States on August as follows
Gold coin, SOB, 1868 ,626; standard sill
yer dollars, 1868, 3OS ,461; Subsidiary
silver. $l2,556, 749; gold certificates,
$93,71O: silver certificates, $2,S43, ia:
treasury notes, act July IA, 1890,
S4,512.2lO: United States notes, $22,-
2S6,612: currency certificates, act
June 8, 1872, $4S5,00O; national bank
notes $500, $50.
Now this looks very plausible on
its face and is calculated to deceive
the ordinary citizen; who cannot be-
lieve that the officers of great gov
eminent would lie 'by indirection.'
The fraud consists in claiming that
all the money that ever was coineo
or printed in this country is in exist
ence, circulating among the people
except that which is held in the
vaults of the treasury department
This is very far from being the case
A very interesting article appeared
in the Arena, of November, 1892
page 712, from the pen of Mr.. N. A
Dunning, entitled "The Volume OF
Currency" in which he takes up this
question in detail. He bases his
comments on the treasury report OF
1889, in which it is claimed there
we're $2,O99, 1868, 71S.47 in existence in
the country, made up as follows:
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1893-12-27

accounted Tor. "IhlS is Dig cut in
to $3.50, $685. sos. The same authority
shows that on January 1, 1888, the
treasury claimed to hold 1924, 773, 677
of gold; but deducting gold certifi-
Gates issued against it ''only about one
hundred millions can be found" The
same writer continues, mot one
individual in every hundred receives
in ordinary business transactions a
gold certificate or gold coin once in
twelve months"
Mr.. Dunning than proceeds to
show that the entire silver coinage
of a country wears out in thirty
years. John Sherman confirms this.
The treasury claims that every silver
dollar coined since 1878 is still in cir
culation and eight million dollars be-
sides; and that no part of the sub
sidiary silver coin has disappeared:
although the government has been
claiming for years and now claims
that there are $5,916, 59O.47 of frac-
tional currency,-paper "halfs" and
Quarters" and ten cent pieces, float
ing around while every body knows
that not one has been seen,-except
as curiosity,-for twenty years.
What has become of it? Lost, sunk
in seas and rivers, burned up in no.
tells, worn out. And congress de-
clared June 81, 1879, that $685., 1884
more had been lost or destroyed.
Fourteen millions in all out of 1868,
100000 issued vanished. And is not
the same thing true of the silver and
gold coin? And yet this fraudulent
government of ours, to help the
plutocrats, claims that the people
have got it all.
But this isn't the worst of it. The
law requires the national banks to
hold large amount of money in re-
serve for the protection of their de-
positors. This is not circulating
among the people. 1t cannot be in
two places at once. How much is it?
1t is 1888, III. 465. Then the state
banks and savings banks also have
to keep a reserve of from ten to
twenty-five per cent. Mr.. Dunning
estimates this, Cat ten per cent?, as
1926, 427, 242. Then there are 3,647
banks that have not reported. Place
the reserve says Mr.. Dunning at $1O,-
600 each, and it gives 500, 47O, 900; Or a
grand total of bank reserves OF
1908 ,OOS, 7O7, which must be deducted
from the 81 1887 ISL 1896 of total, nom
inal circulation, leaving but 1884,
543, 12S for the use of the people,!
Why did not our lying servants at
Washington tell us all this when
they took the trouble to figure uI
the per capita circulation at $24.O2:
How particular they were about
those two cents!
Here are Mr.. Dunning's concluding
figures as to the real currency circu-
lation, of the United States:
Amount outstanding as per

Divide this among 61,717 1896 people

And now the scoundrels wait to
demonetize silver, stop the fun Their
issue of silver certificates or tOin;
make gold the sole money metal and
smash the whole people of the Unit
ed States. BLOOD and Bridles!" 1t
is enough to make the very women
sieze the old shotguns and rise in in
surrection. Talk about the Boston
tea party and the stamp tax! Why,
we are degenerate race of FOOLS
tramping after old party banners in
to the poor-houses. Shame on such
a race.
And France has $50 per capita, and
100000, 900 of silver in circulation,
and is the most prosperous-in fact
the only prosperous-country, to-day,
in the world.
