MONEY CIRCULATION.

According to the Ottawa Journal,
in the proceedings of the 18th an
nual convention of the American
Bankers Association, it was point
ed out, after exhaustive considera
ton, that at that time 1917, when
the circulation of currency was
given by the United States treas
urer at $23 Al per capita, there was
actually only $l4O in circulation ::
$23 Al was the amount of money
issued by the government, but all
except $l.40 was tied up in the
United States treasury or in the
moneyed concerns.
Now, M. Cleveland, following in
the footsteps of his predecessors,
would have the people of the nation
believe that there is $25 As per
capita in circulation.
Every. one knows, who knows
anything about france, that the
volume Of currency, or government
issue, is one thing, aud the amount
in circulation is another thing.
To begin with. the United States
treasurer is supposed to hold $780,.

If the Republican party will not
keep itself in line, with some ad-
vanccd ideas, and cease to live only
in the past, there are many people
who have always been connected

only idea of it's mission is to ignore
all moral questions and devote itself
to simply getting the Offices. may

but will not suit the rank and file,

A great body of the frank and

come for it to die, hence the slump

FOLLY, or WORSE.

Some political writer's are so
bitterly opposed to Cleveland's
policy that they are suggesting i'm.
peachment. This is the clearest
kind of folly; or at least, the at.
tempt to impeach would be. Does
any sane man believe that con.
gress where lib Democrats and the
same number of Republicans un.
yoked their manhood and voted for
Cleveland's ruinOus measure would
vote to impeach him? And if such
An improbable thing as the adoption
Of articles of impeachment by the
house should happen. is there the
renotest probability that any of the
twenty-three Republicans and twen-
ty Democrats in the senate who vot-
ed for the unconditional repeal
would vote to impeach2 The prob
ability OF such a consummation is
30 remote that it would be the height
Of folly to attempt it. Cleveland
has purchased their votes for patron
age besto wed, and he will make the
sycopbants deliver their votes when
he calls for them. Craftsmanship is
mighty small factor in the make
up of the major part of the member
ship Of the fifty-thTd congress, and
Cleveland knows it; and he knows,
further. that they will come to his
support when he whistles, like dogs
will come al their masters call.
Cleveland will not be impeached
by the fifty-tbird congress. That is
history already.
