In many towns are resOrting to issu-
ing checks in order to hel p supply the
short fund of money. This system
was resorted to during the war and
while in some instances it did not Prove
satisfactory, owing to some firms failing
and not redeeming checks. But gener-
ally the scheme worked admirably.
Merchants issuing these checks derive
ben fit that the government should
have, because the checks take the place
OF money and costs only the printing.
but as the powers that be at Washing.
ton criminally refuse to issue an ade-
quate supply Of the circulating medium,
it is better to have the checks than no
money at all. Until the government
is taken out of the hands of foreign in

should supply the circulating deiic-

A merchant of this city recently said
th-t he was selling an article at loss.
yet if he could by the same goods at
present wholesale prices and sell them
at the same figures as he is now doin.
could make a profit. Yet the merch-
ants have all along frowned on the re-
form movement and thus aided the
system that wa. not only robbing the
farmer and other labOrcr. but himself
as we'll. 1t is about time for all sensi-
bic merchants to quit working against
their own interest, in the way of de-
preciating stocks. and advocate a sys-
ten that will allow all business to
prosper and let the English and A,ncrl-

succeeded. In a view of the fact that

reasonable cost. What would then be
better, Is for the city government to
take hold of the matter. This could be
done and the charging for use of the

was misplaced, and vainly tried to stop
the train, but he could not do 1t, and
the engine and two fruit cars Of or

turning over and buryinss the engineer
and fireman. The two f1ait cars were
