A story is told of an Adventist
who prophesied that the world
would come to an end at a certain
date, says an exchange. He put on
his ascension robes, climbed to the
top OF straw stack and waited the
crack Of doom. Getting tired of
waiting and forgetting himself, he
fell asleep. Some boys saw the man
and touched ligh ed match to the
straw and awoke him. Gazing at
the flames on every side, he cried

cne time of ''pestfferous nonsense and in
cendiRry folly because he says, ''Our ex-
perience in Maine has shown us that it is
much more advantageous to have one united
railroad which furnishes transportation at

for it. than il was TO have two or three rival
railroads which were competing and cutting
each others throats. In short, the outcome
OF consolidation there turned out TO be far
better than any of US anticipated. opposed
the consolidation, having at that time certain
ideas on the subject which are now quite
prevalent in this House.
Who, in reading the Post eulogy, won Id
ever imagine that at one time Mr. Reed could
have entertained the ideas which the Post de-
nounees with so much vigor! Those who
opposed the pooling bill did so on the
ground thar il is not safe to destroy COM

so great an advantage over other kinds
of business. One of the ablest arguments
made against the bill was presented by Judge
Daniels, of New YORK, into who's speech NJ.

distinction upon the New York bench, feel
when he reads the scathing criticism of the

CURRENCY FOR BANKS.

In view of the immediate report of the
Carlisle currency plan by the Banking and
Currency Committee, and its probable
adoption by the House, it might be well 10
ask what right Congress has TO furnish cur
rency for 30 cents on dollar 10 private in
terests for speculative purposes.
The Carlisle bill, reported by Mr.. Springer,
provides that the Secretary OF the Treasury
shall issue in circulating notes to any bank
rs per cent. OF its unimpaired capital, when
the bank deposits with the said Treasurer a
guaranty fund equal TO 80 per cent. of the cir
culating notes applied for.
In fact the issuance of these circulating
notes amounts to nothing more nor less than
q loan to the banking interests of the coun-
try. 1t is true that the government cannot
be held responsible for the redemption Of the
notes. but the Treasury is made the reposi-
tory for the guaranty fund. and so long as
the bank keeps its notes in circulation and
its guaranty fund Of 30 cents on dollar on
deposit, the loan Of the circulating notes can.
not be Withdrawn.
Reference is frequently made to the English
monetary system when advocating the Car
Isle plan. The Bank Of England prints its
own no:es on six printing presses which are
kept constantly in operation. No note is ever
issued a second time, but is Immediately can
celed when once it finds its way back TO the
bank. The average life OF note is about six
days. The returned notes average about
10000 a day and represent in value about
S5, ,OO0, 900 each day. Mr.. Carlisle's plan bears
about as much resemblance TO the English
monetary system as a monkey does TO a
mummy.
There are other persons besides banks who
need money. and if Secretary Carlisle wants
TO 60 into the Ioaning business let him
amend his bill so that any reputable business
enterprise may obtain circulating notes on
the same terms he Issues them 20 money lend
ers. But since Congress passed the railroad
pooling bill We may expect almost any kind OF
legislation in the interests of special classes.
