Is not a bank In any considerable business
place that is not carrying more funds in its
vaults than a year ago: yet times were good
then. and almost as bad as it is possible to
have them now Consequently abundance
of money does not make good times.
What does? A demand for the products of
labor which gives employment, and money
paid for employment, or for the products
of labor. gets into circulation and makes
good times. There will be good times again
whenever manufacturers can get orders
which will warrant them in starting fac
tories and employing labor at good wages.
There is no necromancy about money that
does not pertain to other commodities. It
Is simply measure of value and a facili-
tator of the exchange of products. Wheat
was never as cheap and never was there
more in sight. but never were there so
many people hungry for bread in the coun-
try as now. An abundance of food, when
stored in elevators and warehouses, does
not Danish hunger. 1t must get into cir
culation. like money, to feed the hungry,
and like money, it will get into circulation
when those who employ labor dare to en-
gage in industry and enterprise.
The trouble with the editor of the Morgan
County Gazette and those like him is that
they do not assimlate the lessons of ex-
perience There is the Argentine Republic
A year ago there was outstanding over
$500 per capita of legal-tender money in
that country; but business and industry
were completely paralyzed. Instead of plen-
tiful money making good times there it
made the hardest times people ever knew.
In conclusion, the Journal begs the Nor
gan County Gazette for the reputation OF
Indiana editors for average intelligence. to
| stop making such ridiculous assertions as
that "s3 OO0 600 900 OF the S. 5OOO,OOO0Oo Of bank

THE STATE Rank SCHEME.

1t is now almost certain that the House
report bill to repeal the 1O-per-cent tax
on the notes of State hanks. Whether
such a measure will pass Congress or not,
and whether it would receive the approval
of the President remains to be seen. No
plank in the Chicago platform was more
explicit and unequivocal than the one
this tax. In his letter accepting the nomi-
nation Mr.. Cleveland was noncommittal
on the question. He said:
The people are entitled to sound and
honest money, abundanty sufficient in
volume to supply their business needs.
But whatever may be the form of the

so regulated and guarded by governmental
no one can be deluded as to the certainty
and stability of it's value. The
wants of our people arising from the de-
ficiency or imperfect distribution of money
circulation ought to be fully and honestly
recognized and efficiently remedied.
These noncommittal platitudes meant
anything or nothing. but the vague refer
ence to State bank currency gave a quasi
Endorsement of the scheme which its
friends were quick TO claim. In his re-
cent message. however. Mr.. Cleveland
made reference 10 the subject. and
both the friends and the opponents OF
State bank currency are now equally at
liberty TO claim him favoring their
views. The truth is. in this. as in many
