tuTTtncl anu money are Hot tue SdUle
thing Contraction OF the volume Of
currency" and contraction OF the vo
lume OF money" do not mean the same
Currency consists OF checks, notes, drafts
clearing house certificates or other forms
OF credit. Money is the thing in which
these obligations can be redeemed.
Prices are not governed by the volume
of currency in circulation, but by the
volume OF money. Those who use the
two terms az synonymous have very
hazy idea Of the money question. The
gold monometsllists are quite willing the
country should have all the currency IT
can get, but not willing II should have all
the money it can get. They would be
willing, perhaps, that all the silver the
country could produce should he coined
providing it was made token con, a.
il is in England and made redeemsble
IN gold. You will not find them strongly
CON batting law which will "give silver
a larger use," providing gold remains
the money Of final redemption. This
is what they want, because its scarcity
gives them its CONTROL, and Is what regu-
lates prices. This distinction between
currency and money is the one which
lies at the foundation OF the financial
problem. - Mining Industry.
The argument OF the gold bug papers
on the subject OF demonetization Of
silver makes the matter clear as mud
to the ordinary reader. They advance
the idea that II We allow the banks to
Issue a circulating medium on their
deposits this country will be given all the
money necessary 10 carry on business.
The people are no donbt aware that hun
dretbs OF banks have been unable to pay
their depositors on demand and the
issuance Of a circulating medium on de-
posits would not make these in Institutions
more staple. We believe that the gov
ernment is the only proper party to
issue circulating medium. The scarcity
OF money in the east has lead to many
experiments and one OF these was the
issuance Of certified checks payable to
bearer. This plan was certainly us
urpa'Ion OF one Of the functions OF the
government OF the United States, but
the powers that be are so wrapped up in
the National banks OF the east that they
allow such things to be done without a
protest.

How south Dakota Granger Secured .
Load of Coal.
MITCHELL, s. D., Dec. 26.-The Dell
Rapids Elevator company were recently
the victim of trick whose carrying out
was about as audacious a lpiece of busi-
ness as the annals of thievery can fur
nish. While Mr.. Bowles, the manager,
and his employees were busily engaged
taking in grain some farmer backed his
wagon up to the coal bins, ,lloaded up with
agood supply of soft coal, coolly replaced
his coat, fixed his team and leisurely
drove off towards town, and then out in
the country home. He was seen load
ing up by the employees, but each one
thought that one of the others was help
ing the man and paid no attention to the
matter. They. afterwards discovered
that the farmer had secured load of
coal for nothing, except the display of q
good quantity of nerve and gall. The
party was not noticed closely enough to
identify him.
