A NEW NATIONAL BANK SCHEME

Ill. Ii. Gardner, cashier and manager
of the Exchange National bank of Ell
Dorado, acknowledged as one Of the
safest and soundest bankers of the state,
whose institution has not only weathered
the late storm without so much as a
qualm, but whose late published state
ment, made In compliance with the call
of the comptroller, shows the Exchange
National to be one of the most sound
and tiourishing institutions of the char
acter in the west, is out in a well written
circular to congress, III which he holds
that there are many things wrong with
the present banking and financial sys-
tenn Of the country. Having diagnosed
the case he submits a remedy. We have
not space for review but he starts out
with the assertion that our present
troubles came first of the dIstrusG found
At the financial headquarters of the
country which was swiftly fol
lowed by the collapsing of banks
from the loss of the money of small
depositors. Mr.. Gardeners remedy for
biouDtc 10 d liColslt Ddllh oNS-
tenn through which the immense aggre-
cation Of money of the small depositor
would remain in circulation undisturbed
aad tending TO avert just such panics TO
which the country is being subjected.
A further proposition Is that National
banks OF $25,000 for small towns and
communities be authorized, and that
gold, United States bonds, silver coin or
silver bullion be received by the govern
ment and that ninety-five per cent of
such deposit be returned in circulat-
inG notes for all banks. This policy, or
rule, would at once absorb all the silver
of the country, probably, and silver
would no longer be a disturbing ele-
ment.
But we cannot go into the details of
Mr.. Gardeners circular in which he
seems TO have logically pursed to safe
and plainly reasonable conclusions the
whole question.

CIVILIZATION REQUIRES MONEY.

The substances, or promises called
money, are in demand in proportion to
the civilization of the people. 1t does
not matter whether this money is gold,
silver or copper, bank bills, drafts, or
notes, but 1t does matter whether this
money shall have the confidence of the
people, and thus the question of quantity
on the one hand. and quality on the other
is forcing itself upon the attention of
Americans, AID for that matter of all
civilized nations. One moietv of orr
people say n single metal-gold-is the
only safe basis fox money, and the other
half say that there is not enough of the
gold to furnish basis OF sufficient GUAM
tity for The requirements of the people.
and on that line the war is raging.
Those who are more anxious about
quantity than they are about quality de-
sire to add silver to gold as basis of
circulation and for redemption of all
promises 10 pay in the future. 1t is
probable that compromise between
those who believe in gold alone
and those who believe in the free coin
age of silver on basis of sixteen of sill
ger to one of gold would be the better
plan. And rs this war is raging be-
tween banker and creditor class on the
one hand and the people or debtor class
on the other, ii seems that it is our plain
duty, as representing the people, 10 add
our mite TO strengthen the cause of tbs
latter. The notion which is entertained
by large number OF the people that u
scarcity OF money is hardship for the
productive class, the present condition
proves TO be sound; for now, today,
money is scarce, not so much, it is true,
for lack of money, Ias is for lack of con-
fidence. and the hiding away from the
cbenneis Of trade of money lately in
circulation, but the condition Of a limit
o. circulation exists as truly as though

there was in fact not sufficient money
for the requirements of business. And
it does not require us to point out the
immense loss to the productive energies
OF the country this condition has caused.
But there still remains something
20 be said in favor of plenty
of good money. Civilization Is
the result Of the most active and best
directed efforts of the human race.
Activity in all human endeavor is
founded in the desire of the individual
to better his condition. The expectation
that money is to be got, is the lever that
has raised the savage to the civilized
man, and every measure which increases
the amount of good money acceIerates
civilization. a late writer has said that
the Roman empire at the heigh of its
greatness had about $4,000, 600, 600 of
money. The destruction and decay of
Rome in the course of few centuries
gradually decreased this vast money
accumulation until the total money capt.
ia of Europe was but 5000, GOO and
~
was no progress, no Improvement.
Civilization waned; intolerance and
bigoty waxed; the people were mere
slaves; money was, as always, king.
But his reign, instead of a blessing, was
a curse, and the dark ages settled over
the human family, only to be illuminat-
Cd by the discovery of America and
the beginning of that civilization
which is now our boast, but which began
in shipments Of silver and gold to Spain,
retirement Of silver as money
shall have been secured by the short
sighted but selfish monopolists.
Statistics show that W hen the early
finding of gold IN California was supple
mented by the discovery in Australia
gold was cheapened and silver sold at a
premium, and this without the demon
etizing of gold. So it can be seen that
the ratio Of increase of silver over that
Of gold has cheapened silver and would
have done SO without demonetizing that
metal, which result plainly indicates that
IN order that gold and silver as money
should be on parity, the amount of
silver must be greater than Is to of
yolo. Probably 20 to 1 would be much
nearer the correct proportion. However
he proportion may eventually figure

Collarettes and sleeves.

Collarettes or shoulder ruffies are cut
in circular form, with the lower edge
hariBg for the shoulders only, or to
reach around the full width. This
trimming, to make the shoulders wider,
may be of silk, the dress goods or lace,
the latter being thiclkly gathered.
Wide ribbons are also gathered over
the shoulders to broadly fare. and such
effects are also known as butterfly"
capes or fuffies. The pointed derby
collar is in side and box plaits that are
clustered thicker over the shoulders,
Shoulder rutfles may start from under
the top of revers, cross over the Shout

cross the back like deep cape collar.
When sufficiently full none of these
rufnes require lining with crinoline:
they arc heater. however, if lined with
