THE ENORMOUS SURPLUS.

We clip the following from that
sterling Prohibition paper, the New
Era, Springfield, Ohio
There is great deal Of talk in
the papers Just now about the enor-
nous surplus of money in the New
York banks.
1t is stated that these banks have
on hand a surplus of over seventy
millions, and that they are unable
to loan it in Legitimate business, and
that this enormous amount OF idle
money presents continual tempta-
ton to speculative investments.
This all may be true, but let us
see what this enormous surplus con-
sists of and to whom it belongs.
The surplus" does not mean
that the banks have money enough
on hand to pay all their depositors
and some over
If all these depositors should call
for their deposits at the same time
it would be impossible for these
overloaded banks to pay more than
forty cents on the dollar unless they
could get help from outside.

If we had had money direct from
the government, at low rates of In
terest, for the last thirty years, the
people of the United States might
now have been out Of debt, and there
would have been no tramps. The
policy of John Sherman in forcing
every new enterprise into borrowing
money at high rates of interest, and
taxing the people to pay interest
on their own PAPER, is now bearing
lis legitimate fruit in universal
bankruptcy. The farmer, the me-
chanic, the shop-keeper aud the
mammoth corporations are all meet
ing the same fate. Under our past
and present financial system there
is no enterprise, great or small, that
could weather the blast on borrowed
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1894-01-11

The banks count it a surplus
when they have on hand one dollar
out of every four that has been de-
posted with them, and which is
liable to be called for at sight.
This surplus, then, which the
banks are tempted to use in en-
couraging speculation, is the money
Of their depositors.
Instead of there being surplus
of over seventy millions, there is
really deficiency of over three
hundred millions.
Now, it is true that as long as
there is no panic there is no practl.
cal possibility Of all the depositors
calling for their money at the same
time.
As long as there is no panic, the
banks are practically safe i'll lending
all their deposits above % per cent.
And as the banks make their
profits by loaning these deposits, it
is reasonable to suppose that they
will be desirous of making loans so
as to make profits, and that if loans
are not made in Legitimate business
enterprises, the banks will be likely
to lend to speculative enterprises
for the sake Of the profit there is in 1t.
But if there should be another
panic, then what?
Then frightened depostors would
begin to withdraw their deposits,
"surplus" would melt away, and
presently the banks would have to
practically suspend payment as they
did last summer.
Then business of all kinds would
be paralyzed and productions of all
kinds would cease.
The whole system is rotten, Fl ON
bottom to top.
We ought to have a system of
finance under which the money of
depositors would never be loaned
Then we would never have any
runs on banks.
If the money of the conntry is all
of full legal tender, so that it is per-
fectly good in itself and not depend
ent for its quality on redemption in
some unknown and unascertainable
quantity of some other article, no
one will ever get scared about the
quality of the money.
Ifthe money of the depositors is
always all in the bank (not 20 per
cent of it, but all of it) and can be
obtained whenever they call for it,
you could not get up run on a

bank, and if you did it would do no
harm.
A run on bank in which there
was dollar in cash Tor every dol
lar due depositors would be a mere
Joke. 1t wouldn't hurt the bank or
anyone else.
A panic would be no more possible
under such circumstances than fire
would be possible without fuel.
We ought to have a system of
finance under which all our money
would be in itself full legal tender
in payment of all debts, public or
private, and no dollar be dependent
on being exchanged for some other
dollar.
We ought to have a system of
finance under which IL would not
be necessary to loan the money of
depositors.
We ought to have a system of
finance under which any person
who wishes money and has proper
security to offer can always get it.
We ought to have a system Of
finance under which the man who
wishes to get ten dollars, and can
present ample security for the ten
dollars, can get it as easily aud at as
low rate of interest as the man
who wishes to get hundred thou
sand and has plenty Of security to
offer for that.
We ought to have system of
finance under which every man who
has money on hand that he is not
using could deposit that money and
receive on it interest at the same
rate he is paying on it.
Under such system as this there
would be:
No panics.
No runs on banks
No money corners.
No opportunity for the big con-
Germs to crush the little ones.
No temptatiOns to speculation.
Such a system is possible.

Somebody left two months old child
In Lexington avenue doorway last
night, and this morning the little one
made a great disturbance In police cir
cles for two hours before 1t was inally
given into the care of Matron Travers,
at Police Headquarters.
John Bowling. OF 2lS East Fifty-nin.h
street, was on his way to work at 6
O'Clock this morning. when In front of
&l Lexington avenue he heard a child
crying, and saw an animated bundle on
the stone steps of the house.
He picked UP the bundle and found It
was n child wrapped IN a silk shawl
There was no policeman In sight, so he
carried the little one to the East SIXTY
seventh street station. Then It was
found that It was n male infant about
two months old.
The child's clothing was particularly
noticeable. The underwear was fine and
clean, and the, little purple dress was
trimmed with silk and was of the finest
quality. From this 1t Is believed that
whoevVr deserted the child was in more
than comfortable circumstances. as the
clothing was not only fine in quality,
but designed with the NJ utmost taste.
Policeman Loorcy said he could stop
the child crying In minute. but after he
had walked ~ and down the station
floor for half an hour and the child
cried louder than ever 1t was considered
that the policeman didn't know much
about children, and he was ordered tC
take the little one to Police Headquar-
ters.
Looney gave the child drink of Ice
water before he started. with the result
that it cried Justify during the entire
trip downtown, and directed a great
deal of comment against the policeman
