The work being done on the national
bank notes at the present time is more
like ordinary printing than the fine work
Of the bureau. All national bank notes
have their characters aud seals put on

dozen or more Hoe presses which are
working away finishing the engraved
notes ior the national band. The
national bank note plates are al On,

I8oJ.-The present financial troubles
have made the bureau Of engraving
aud printing the liveliest department OF
the United States government. This IS
Uncle Sans great money mill II Is
here that all the new national bank
notes arc being turned out, and green
backs arc now made by the million.
Al no time In our history have the
employees been worked so hard. Their
hours have been increased, and one
hundred extra hands have been added
in order to hurry on the work. On one
day during the month Of September
two milton dollars worth Of notes were
turned out In the Treasury department,
and ON the is.h OF August last nearly
three hundred thousand plate impress
sions were made on bank notes with
hand presses. On August 18th three
hundred and twenty thousand plate
impressions were made, which Is the
highest number ever made in the
bureau here, or In any other bureau on
the lace Of the earth. In twcnly.onc
days twcniy'seyen million dollars
worth OF notes were made, and tho
average Is now more than a million
dollars a day. Mr., Johnson, the chic
Of the bureau, emphatieally states that
he can print all the money the country
can use II he has only the authority o.
Congress aud the treasury to back him
and he has the great factory so organ
lied that is capacity Is practically un
limited. The money Is turned ont ir
sheets with four notes on each shee
and is amount Is determined by III,
denomination Of the bills. II takes ne
more time to print four one thousant
dollar notes than four one dol
lar notes, and the capacity OF III,
bureau Is measured by sheets. II
ordinary times Il has turned out onll
siS 20 eight thousand sheets daily. !

MONEY PROSPECTS.
Mr.. Claude NJ. Johnson, the chief Of
this great bureau Of engraving and
printing, is a Kcntuckian, but he has
been connected with the bureau for
some time. lie IS, judge, about forty
years Of age. aud is noted for bis bust
ness talent and his executive ability. lie
has broad gauge ideas OF the money
I question uf this country and during my
| talk with him he said that he thought
/ We would soon have more money than

! national banks" said he. "have grcatl'
Increased their circulation and th
money which has been drawn out Co J.
boarded will De thrown back into thu
channels OF tfadc as soon as confidence
is restored. This will be within less
than two months, and IL Is safe TO say
that within that time more than two
hundred million dollars will come to the
banks from that source alone. IN the
| meantime the bureau Of engraving and
| printing Is ready 10 supply the country
any amount that Congress and the
treasury may authorize. All we want Is
the proper authority and we will do The
work." FHASE O.. CAUrESrIR.
