banking system that will accommodate
our farmers and real estate owners and
not discriminate against them as the
national banks do.
There is not too much money in the
country. There is too much money in
in the east and too little in the south
and west.
If France needs $40 per capita this
growing country needs $50. Even Jay
Gould admitted, a year or two before
his death, that the country needed
more money. With a small per capita
circulation, prices fall, industry lags,
and only the favored few are able to
make any progress. Here is what
Hume said of the Gu: rency supply:
We find that in every kingdom into
which money begins to flow in greater
abundance than formerly everything
takes a new face; labor and industry
..nterprising, the manufacturer more
diligent and skillful. and even the
farmer follows his plough with greater
alacrity and attention. A nation whose
money decreases is actually at that
time weaker and more miserable than
another nation which possesses no more
money. but is on the increasing hand.
Falling prices and misery and destruc-
ton are inseparable cOmpanisns. The
disasters of the dark ages were caused
by decreasing money and falling pric-
es. With the increase of money, labor
and industry gain new life.
And Sir Archibald Allison in his
History of Europe thus describes the
effect of England's issue during the
Napoleonic wars of $3.50, OO0,000 il un-
convertible legal tender notes:
Prosperity unheard OF and unparal-
leled pervaded every department of the
empire; the landed proprietors were in
affiuence: wealth to an unheard of ex-
tent had been created among the farm
ers; our revenues were quadrupled
our colonial possessions encircled the
earth. This period terminated in a
food of glory and a blaze of prosperity
such as hal never descended upon any
nation since the beginning of time.
The people whose votes put the dem
ocratic administration in power do not
think that we have too much money.
They demand more money and in their
platform adopted at Chicago they call
for free gold and silver coinage and
state banks. The will of the party as
expressed in its platform is the law
which the present administration is in
duty bound to carry out.-Atlaata Con-
stituti0n.

The Russian Treaty would not have
been so bad if Russia had been a civil
lied country, but Russia is a barbarous
country country without law, where
the fiat of single man can confne his
fellow to q dungeon for his natural life,
exile him to distant and inhospita-
BILE climate, or have him executed; and
all this without even the form of law
or trial. Russia is a country where
law, as we understand the term, is I'M
known; where a word, a thoughtless
jest, or angry speech, may entail the
gravest consequences. Any man who
uses language about the Car which an
American would regard as tame. places
himself at the mercy of the Emperor.
How easy it would be for an emigrant
seeking an an asylum on our shores to
be extradited on trumped up charges
and consigned to Siberia under the
treaty now in force! The United States
has gone into the business of slave
catching for the Russian Gar. 1t is
astonishing that Democratic Presi-
dent should have concluded such a
treaty with SO despotic power.

Too Much and Too Little Money.

Congressman Bourke Cochran re-
echoes the cry of the eastern capital
lists that there is sstoo much money in
the country"
This assumption will not stand.
France, with little more than half our
population, has per capita circulation
of $40 and is prosperous. We have a
per capita circulation of 1924. More
over, our currency is congested in the
east, and it is estimated that we have
not more than So per capita In the
south and west.
The remedy is pointed out by the
plank in the Democratic platform which
recommends the repeal of the 10 per
cent. tax on state bank issues. Repeal
this tax, which is clearly unconstitu-
tional, and the states will charter local
banks of issue whose currency, secured
by efficient safeguards, will hover
around the place of issue and give W
an ample supply of'home currency that
will not congest at the money centers.
Give us sound local currency, and
the revival of commerce and industry
will follow. The federal government
has no more right to impose a prohib-
itory tax on state bank notes than it
has to put it on state bonds, or on the
notes and checks of corporations and
merchants.
The cry of .'wild cat currency" is
absurd. The whole people want a good
local currency. and as they would at
once detect the wild cat variety and
drive it out of circulation it would not
profit any corporation to attempt to
float such notes, even if it succeeded in
getting state charter. We want q

The rank and file of the Democracy

ers do not. They are on the platform,
anxiously awaiting their trusted
agents to join them. They know ex-
actly what they want and what they
mean to have. First, they want Tariff
Reform. They issued their orders last
November to reduce the Tariff to a
strictly revenue basis, and they want
it done without delay. They do not
want free raw materials and protected
manufactured articles. The congress
man who gives them this sort. of Tariff
Reform will find himself so uncomforta-

thing they do not want and are not go
ing to have, and that is the making of
other peoples liabilities serve the pur-
pose of money. They have sense

c. Van Degrift & Son. contractors and
builders and manufacturers of sash-doors,

The partnership assets are believed to l.e
about $500; individual assets of the
senior member OF the firm. who also turns
over his property, 5000; liabilities about
$4,000. The failure is no less complete
than the property turned over neither
member of the firm exempting even their
household belongings. The creditors are
divided into five classes. Those OF the
first three are for the most part citizens
OF the city and county. In the first are
the employees of the late firm, to whom
s., 430 are due. The trustees are ID. Har-
mon and George Perkins, who are au-
thorized to borrow this amount In order
that they may be paid at once. 1t Is
thought that all the creditors in the first
three classes will be paid In full.
