wholly free from the direct issuing and

among the people. No government has
over yet successfully engaged in SO doing,
snd the experience Of the government Of
the United States has proven no exception
to the rule. The general cost and loss en-
tailed upon the government and the
periods of uncertainty as to the govern
ment's credit and the stability OF our
monetary system have been so great as to
make the legal tender and treasury issues

Proposes to Eliminate the Government
Bond rs the Security.
After stating that any attempt to rem
,dy the defect noted must provide a cur
rency as absolutely safe to the noteholder
as the present the comptroller says: sit
is respectfully suggested that not only as
good. but better results would be attained
if the present bank act were amended by
repeating the provision thereof requiring
each bank as u prerequisite to entering
the system and issuing bank note cur
rency to deposit government bonds. In
lien of such provision should be substi-
tuted one permitting the banks to issue
circulating notes against their assets to
an amount equal to at least 80 per cent. of
their unimpaircd capital
The comptroller follows this suggestion
with the further one for the maintenance
of a safety fund to be provided by gradu-
| ated taxation upon the outstanding cir
cuiation of the banks until the same shall
be equal to not less than per cent of the
total of such outstanding circulation this
fund TO be held by the govern.. u as an
agent only and for the purpose OF immedi-

| shall have first and paramount lien and
be exempt from assessment to the extent
IF the double liability on the shareholders.
Continuing the comptroller says: 1.-The
profit upon the issue of circulation to the
banks by such change would be SO aug
mented that it is giving to them n fran
chise for which it is suggested they should

1.-The currency redemption Of the legal
tender issues and the treasury issues I'M
Ter the act of 1890, and the reissuing in

ways create distrust of the government s

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
tine nurnh creepy sensation that existed in my
arms, hands and legs. l had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, TO overcome
in = measure the dead feeling that had Ia ken
possession If them. In addition. l had q
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an Understandable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said It
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing TO their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. once IL fastens upon a person, they
say. 10 niinucs its insidious progress until
il reaches y vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. i had been Goctoring
year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit. when saw an advertisement
Of Dr Miles, Restorative Neryine. procured a
bottle and began using it. Marvellous as it
may seem, but n few days had passed before
every biz Of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
Indication of its return. now feel as
well rs l ever did. and have gained ten
pounds in weight. though L had run down
