SECRETARY CARLISLE appeared be-
fore the house committee on banking
and currency yesterday to explain his
scheme for reforming the currency. The
chief merit pr bis plan appears TO rest in
the claim that under it the currency
would be expanded and contracted to
suit the exigencies of trade. This is
very good as a theory but it is to be
feared that in practice the currency
would be contracted to suit the purposes
of the bankers and expanded in the same
way at so much per expand. Expansion
of the currency is often desirable, con-
traction never. 1t is impossible that
there should be too much Of q circulat-
ing medium, because when the needs OF
business are supplied the remainder will
be idle. and IL does not eat anything or
waste away. Furthermore, a contraction
Of the currency is inevitably followed by
falling prices. failures, bankruptcy and
ruin. Expansion or the currency to the
extent OF supplying every demand Of
business ever bears in its train rising
prices. a revival Of trade and prosperity
to the whole people. This is history.
There is no lodging it. The worlds panics
have never followed an expansion of the
circulating medium. but have only come
when a period OF contraction or boarding
or Withdrawal has set in.
