A SOUND CURRENCY CAMPAIGN.

The late announcement by The Re-
form club OF New York of the csmpsign
which il has planned in bshslf of sound
currency has been promptly followed by
the publication of discussion on ma
tonal and state banks. by Mr.. Horace
White, as the first numbsr OF the sec.
ond volume OF periodical entitled
Sound Currency (the first volume of
which wan published during the few
months following the Cooper Union
meeting Of lS9D.
This article of Mr.. White's 10 in large
measure his Philadelphia address of
1893, brought down to date. 1t is e
summary discussion not merely Of the
leading theories OF banking and cur
rency, but of the more important epi-
sodes in the history OF our state and
national banking experience as we'll as
of the essentials of safe and elastic
present system, which. while relegating
to our banks the Office OF supplying
credit currency, shall leave the national
treasury free from entanglement with
bueiness concern not its own; though
every reasonable safeguard is secured by
administrative assistance on the part OF
the federal government.
1t is scarcely too much to say that, Of
the much that he's been said and writ
ten ON it's subject matter within the pact
two years, Mr.. Whites suggestions have
had wider circulation and prodnced
greater effect than all others co mbined.
Especially is this true of his ineistence,
from the first, upon the banking prin-
ciple"-that is, that currency anall be
an incident of the general business
which it serves. and can best be made
safe by limiting iss quantity in proper
ton to tho general security OF the issu-
ing bank, rather than BY attempt-de-
otructive to its utility and elasticity
to base it upon special deposit OF secu-
rites.
Upon this point, both in argument
and citation ofexperience. the pamphlet
in question is full and cogent; while it's
criticism OF our national banking sys-
tenn is pointed, and its argument in
favor of the necessity of promptly re-
placing 1t by some plan to provide for
safe and elastic bank.note currency will
be accepted by most as conclusive.

THE THREATENED STRIKE.

The people of California are appre-
hensive Of another strike on she South
ern Pacific Their sympathies are largely
with the employees of the corporation
whose grievances are undoubtedly based
on the results of fragrant tyranny and
an utter disregard OF right, justice or
common humanity. This sympathy was
demonstrated during tho strike last
ummer by the patience with which all
classes and interests submitted to in
convenience and financial losses incorred
through the criminal obstiaacy of the
corporation. Merchants and business
men Of every degree and the travelling
public hoped. as they are now hoping,
that the dispute between the railroad
company and it's employees would be
amicably adjusted. The manner in
which it was finally Ratted WAS not at
all satisfactory to honest, justice loving
citizens snd the aftermath of tbs trou-
BILE proves that it was not the best set.
tlement that could have been made.
In proof of this assertion is the exist
ing condition of unrest and apprehsn-
sion among the railroad employees ina
cited by the threat of the company to
cut the wages OF the trainmen. On
trains running out of Los Angeles the
method is somewhat peculiar. The
wages are not disturbed but the run"
is extended. Engineers, tiremen and
conductors who have been running to
Bakersfeld-les than 200 miles-must
now run TO Fresno, distance OF 295
miles. Tbe time on the former run was
seven hours; the latter is 10 hours.
The revised statutes OF the federal
government regulating the navigation of
steamboats, provide that no captain,
pilot, engineer, fireman or other navi-
eating official ahsll be employed in that
capacity longer than six hours, and the
penalty assessed against the employer
for violation Of the law is fine OF not
less than 5000 nor more than $1,000. with
the alternative of imprisonment if the
fine bs not paid.
1t would Hesm but justice to emA
plcy ees if railroad corporations would
i'm pei similar enactment for their pro-
lection. At any rate. in the absence of
such law, the Southern Pacific has
taken advantage of the situation and
notwithstanding its compact with the
suginesrs during tho recen. strike, is
compelling them to hubmit to orders in
direct defiance Of tie provieons of that
compact. 1t is true that the corporation
does not reduce wages on this division,
but the evasion OF an extended run is
even more contemplate and harrassing.
1t lie sincerely hoped by the general
public that the existing Engagement
between the corporation AID it's em-
ployees will be amicably adjusted. Both
psrtieu to the dipputs should profit by
the experience Of the past and realize |
that there is third element in the !
community that is worthy of considera-
tion-an element on which both of these |
disputsnta ara in very decided measure !
dependant for profitable existence.

ter Of fact . pardon at the beginning of
