EXPANDING THE CURRENCY.

0ne effect of the present monetary pinch
IS to increase the volume of national bank
currency. Eleven years ago the amount of
national bank CUR ncy outstanding was
$500. SSe. eco: On July l. 1898, it had fallen
to STA, 73l, 600. mere than half The cause
of the decline was he difficulty of making
circulation pay az the market price of
United States bonds. For several years
money in Wall stree. has averaged Per
cent on call ard il h been impossible to
bHv first-class securities at price which
nettsd the buyer ans larger interest than
that. Under these circumstances the tax
on circulation together with the sinking
fund TO retire the premium has eaten the
profit of bank issues, and though it has
been evident that the gradual disappear
ance of national bank circulation would.
Some say, create troublesome void, the
surrender of national bank notes has pro-
eeeded steadily. Now, the tide is setting
in the other direction. In July last the
national bank circu alton increased S5.403,
SsS. the applicants for new notes figuring
that there was once more profit In issuing
them.
This is matter which concerns the East
rather thar this coast. We have always
SCI our faces agains: paper money. though
the green hackers had in their day quite
following in the State. Still. our CONNER
eial affiliations with The Eastern monetary
ceaters are so Gloss that we cannot be In
different to state of things which compels
the banks of New York to raise their rates
on call to per cent per month.
II cannot be said tlat the aggregate VOL
nme OF the currency S too small for the
wants of borrowers, as it was in this State
forty years age. and in the river States
half a century before that. The aggregate
amount of coin and currency in the whole
country was, on December /, 1892, 81, 764,-
es5. g23. something over S26 per head of the
population. OF this The Government held
in the treasury. the su5-treasuries and the
various repositories about $3.50, 600, 600,
leaving S1.5l4. 935,923 in the hands of the
psaple. About halt OF this was gold, the
otljef BALI being divided between silver
and paper. II there was any necessary
connection between scarcity Of currency
and tight m0ney-which there is not-so
vast circulating medium ought to ensure
EASY money. None is not easy simply
because these fifteen hundred millions of
currency which were in circulation few
useks ago have been in large degree

AFFECTED HIS MEMORY.
Cooper Cannot Tell How He Happened
to Fall.

William p. Cooper, the young man who
fell distance of fifty feet down the ele-
vator shaft in the building at Is First
street day before yesterday. has recovered
somewhat from the shock. though he is
far from being over the effects OF his
dreadful plunge.
As yet Cooper's memory is complete
blank, so far as the accident is concerned,
and he has no knowledge how 1t occurred
At times yesterday his mind wandered,
and he piled the attendants with questions
as 10 what was the matter.
The physician in charge says that 1t is
not unusual in such cases for the person
to have no recollection of the accident or
Of what took place for a few moments pre-
ceding it. The shock is so severe that the
memory NAV utterly fail to reproduce these
events, and while in some cases this is
remedled after q shnrt time there are
others in which il is never restored. But
with this exception the brain may not be
otherwise impaired.
Cooper's physician says there are no
bones broken. nor Is he able to detect any
internal injury, and he thinks his patient
will lie about rs soon as the effects of the
snOck wear away.
But for the very fortunate fact that he
landed on his feet Cooper would certainly
have sustained serious If not fatal injuries.

WOULD IT?
The Philadelphia Record. a journal
which advocates free trade under the guise
of tariff reform, says:

The Philadelphia Record, journal
which advocates free trade under the guise
Of tariff reform, says:
Ali changes made in tax laws, State or Fed
eral, involve new adjustments in business
affairs. To unsubsid'Ze one industry, how.
ever is to assist another. TIC take the tax from
steel rails, for example, would be to cheaper
the cost of railroads and transportation.
To take the tax from steel rails might
cheaper the actual cost of building rail-
roads by few hundred dollars mile, but
it does not follow that the public would
derive any benefit from it. To apply this
principle, transportation charges shouid
be based upon the cost of service, to include,
of course, the interest on the money in
vested. But If we admit that railroads, if
steel rails were imported free. would cost
less by the amount of the excess of the
cost of American rails over foreign rails in
the American market. and that Transport
tation charges would be reduced accord
ingly. we are then presented with the
question whether such reduction would
compensate for the partial or total loss of
great industry? Almost all the steel
rails now used on American roads are
made in this country. The cost in the
United States is about S26 per ton against
an average cost in England of 500 per ton.
The difference is nearly all paid to Ameri-
can labor. The higher wages begin with
the man woo carries the tools for a survey
ing party and end with the skilled work
man in steel manufacturing establish
mert There is no grade of labor skipped
in this adjustment. But if the duties
are taken off foreign rails the American
manufacturers win either go out of bust
ness or cut the wages down. The latter is
what is being done now in the East

COYOTES AND RABBITS.

The iEadvisableness OF disturbing the
balance of nature in the relationship of
wild animals is we'll illustrated by what is
passing in San Bernardino County. A
State bounty of SIS was placed on coyotes,
and this prOwler of the foothills and
plains was then worth powder and shot,
SO coyote scalps were collected to such an
extent in San BerDardno County and
elsew here that the jackass rabbit had the
restraints upon his existence very much
slackened. and increased In great num-
bers. 1t is hardly doubtful that thousands
Of RI bbits are worse depredators upon the
farmers thrift than scores of coyotes,
which do not trouble the crops. but only
seize a few lambs or sheep when they get
the chance. San Bernardino is now so
pestered with rabbits that the Supervisors
have passed All ordinance voting 20 cents
per pair OF ears for their slaughter. There
is money in this. too. and it will be we'll if
the county treasury is not bankrupted.
Periodical drives by the farmers them
selves should thin out the plague Of this
hare tribe.

FIVE PER CENT COIN.

A Boston paper says that in the general
transaction OF business in that part of the
country quite % per cent of the entire
aggregate of sales and purchases are made
by means Of credits. A volume of bust.
ness amounting in the aggregate to S6.O00,-
600, 900 year is transacted on a coin basis
of per cent. In other words. if more
than per cent of the holders of these
various evidences of indebtedness should
at the same time demand what their slips
of paper call for all could not get it. And
a per cent run would not be much of
run either. But when this per cent run
sets in the runners are repIoached for a
lack of confidence. There is plenty of
coin, it is urged. so long as 1t is not asked
for. The bank whose paper is dstrusted
has assets to twice or three times the
amount of its liabilities. Why. then.
should any one ask for coin? But there
come times when portion OF the people
will ask for coin. The gold men say that
the narrow gold basis is sufficient under
an enlightened credit system. The. BIZ
