STUDY FINANCE f!

The Sound Currency Committee of
the New York Reform Club is doing
grand work by its publication of tracts
on the finance question. These tracts,
covering from twelve or fifteen up to
twenty-five or thirty pages, comprise
contributions by some Of the most cap
able writers of the country. Horace
White writes on National and State
Banks" L. Carroll Root on Canadian
Bank Note Currency" Henry Loomis
Nelson on Bimetalism in History"
Richard p. Rothwell on the " Worlds
Currencies," L. Carroll Root on " New
York Bank Currency" ex-Congressman
John De Witt Warner on the " "Curren-
cy Famine of 1s93," and ex-Comptroller
of the Currency w. l.. Trenholm on the
peoples Money"
Mr.. WARMERS pamphlet gives an in
teresting account of the emergency cur
rency which took the place of the bank
notes, greenbacks, and gold and silver
certificates, when these went into hiding
in the summer of 1898. This new form
of currency consisted of clearinghouse
certificates, certified checks, pay checks,
and other expedients, by which the
banks put this paper to new uses
and made it into a sort of circulating
medium for the time being, mainly
among themselves. These forms Of
credit paper filled the gap created by
the hoarders of money. Ultimately
there was an increase of the national
bank currency, but this came late and
was insufficient. On June 1, 1898, there
were $l77, 100000 national bank notes
outstanding. This sum grew to $780,
3l2.0 900 on November I, 1893, when q
decline began, as the boarding had
eased by that time, and currency be-
came abundant. At present the bank
currency outstanding amounts to about
$2O5, 900, 900.
The finance question is likely to be the
chief issue in 1896. A campaign of edu-
cation on this issue is urgently demand
ed. The popular ignorance on this vital
subject is dense, particularly in the
West and South. Demagogues like
those who founded the Greenback party,
and like those who are at the head of
the Populists and of their annex, the
new silver party, play upon this igno-
ance for their own selfish purposes.
Thus panics are brought about, millions
Of persons are thrown out of employ
ment, and the country suffers for years.
The remedy for this state of things is
correct information. This the New
York Reform Club is furnishing. The
sound money cause would be invincible
IL the people had little elementary
knowledge Of financial subjects. It is
neither dishonesty nor malignity that
impels men to clamor for the unre-
stricted coinage of Acc. dollars or the
unlimited issue of inconvertible Gov
ernment paper. but merely ignorance of
the rudimentary principles of finance,
and the newspapers and other agencies,
which are in a position to dispel this
ignorance, ought to begin the work at
once.

HOMEMADE POETRY

Grosvenor Palace Verse.
To THE EDITOR OF The News;
SIR-Acting upon your editorial suggestio
of q night or two since. have taken II
liberty to perpetrate the enclosed poem, ded
Gated respectfully to our soon to- be-no-mol
Grosvenor Palace: h.
All hail the power OF Grosvenor's name.
Signed to quit claim deed;
That gives the right to Boston folk
To build US what we need.
We are to lose our pride, the palace"
Which fire has failed to claim,
Though many time and oft. we thought.
The place was food for flame.
We have many men OF means and brains,
Right here. in our own town,
But none could see il worth his while.
To have the "shanty" down.
However, the blessing is all the same to us,
From whose ever hand that offers,
Even though the gain from the enterprise.
Flows into outside Golfers.
'
Must other quarters scek
Wherein 20 hold their confabs dire,
And on Tillinghast's fare grow sleek.
Their after dinner smoke, next door,
Will be interrupted, too,
For genial Jimmie Anthony
Must look for fields that's new.
We all will miss Joe Ripley,
And his accustomed set,
When wanting Lemonade, "the best"
Will hunt him mp. you bet
The Senate also, must now adjourn,
And friend Crowell "get a gait on
To find place, right in our midst,
Wherein, his friends, he'll wait on.
The Brothers Bray must not get gay,
And claim three months TO move in,
Or they'll get left out in the cold
When the workmen break the roof In,
And Hayden, too. with his fireworks.
Both literature and powder,
Must find place. n nice new place,
whereon to paint his namo the louder.
Well, wen "let IL go st that"
And see who is the quickest,
To get up, and ont, and cat en-"
And At new places mp the slickest.
A wager we will offer though,
That where ere these men may locate,
Their many friends will find them,
For none Of them are slow. Kate.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-Expressions
of satisfaction have been made by the
Italian government at the steps taken by
the Colorado authorities for the appre.
hension of the murderers of the Italians
at Walsenburg. The diplomatic incident
occasioned thereby is regarded as closed
for the present. That satisfaction exists is
shown by the telegram which was sent
yesterday Dy assistant Secretary OF state
Uhl 10 Governor Mcintyre of Colorado.
In this telegram Mr.. Uhl sets forth the
express on OF appreciation manifested on
the part of Baron Fava, the Italian am
bassador here and of his government,
and OF the federal government at the
efforts of the state authorities TO arrest
the guilty parties. Tonight the assistant
secretary received a reply from Governor
Mcintyre in which that official said that
the district attorney told him (the gov
ernor) that he would use every means to
insure the arrest and conviction of those
who were guilty. The governor said also
that he had issued a proclamation offer
ing n reward of S1.00) the limit under
the statutes of the state) for the appre-
hension and conviction of the guilty
parties.
