A Snhstitnte for Currencr.

At Fall River, the banks have
printed and had checks drawn for
81, 50, So and $40.
These checks enable Fall River to
get along in spite of the currency
famine. The mill operatives take
them in payment OF their wages,
and the merchants prefer them to
silver, as they are easily handled
and are perfectly safe.
The operatives are more economi-
cal with the checks than they are
with money. They like to feel that
they have portion of their wages
in the banks. and they are now
saving something every week. The
scheme is teaching wage workers
the advantage of having deposit
in the banks. The accumulation
benefits not only the toilers but
their employers and the whole COM
munity.
In the present depression the ex-
tended use of checks, with the issue
of clearing house certificates, should
make it possible for any industrial
and commercial community that is
on a naturally sound basis to tide
over the few months that may be
required to settle our financial and
economic problems. There is no
reason in the world why the Fall
River system should not be adopted
in any town where there is enough
banking capital to give the people
confidence in the checks. The ex-
pertinent is worth trying in locali-
ties where money is out of sight
