WHY WE NEED MORE MONEY

BY far the strongest feature of the
argument of the gold monometalists,
and the one which has the most effect
in retarding the progress of silver SEN
timent. is the admitted fact that the
volume Of the currency has been con-
tinually increasing since the creation of
the government, and it is not likely,
say the goldites, that more currency is
needed. The man who will take the
pains to give the thing five minutes
hard thought will see that the goldbug
proves too -overwhelmngly too
much-eyery time he employs this ar
gument. The goldbug argument is
that we actually need less money per
capita year by year, instead of more,
by reason Of the enormous increase of
banking and exchange facilities in
later years. If Secretary Carlisle's
Kentucky speeches had any influence
at all in controlling the democracy of
of tina. state for the administration, it
was the adroit pressing of this SINGLE
point
But there is point that until re-
Gently has not been touched at all in
the whole debate All other things
being equal the total circulation of the
country ought to keep pace with the
growth of the population. Goldbug-
ism tells us the conditions have been
growing. which ought naturally to
tend TO diminish the per capita cir
culation. Over % per cent. Of all our
exchanges are effected by check and
other forms of credit without the use
of money at all. Now, if that is true,
and it is true, why has not our cur
rency been contracting proportionately
to population since the beginning of
our history? These banking and credit
facilities were scarcely known at first,
but have been growing continuously
through all the years. Why, then, DO
we actually employ 10 times as much
money per capita as we did before
the war? If the administration argu-
ment is valid that we need continu-
ously less and less actual money. why
as a fact DO We not use less and less?
Why is the per capita circulation
doubling about every % years in spite
of the enormous volumes Of business
that are done without money; The
goldbug must either find some salts
factory place in his eystem for this
fact or else concede that the logic of
actual events in more valid and trust
worthy than his logic of theory. Gen.
Frpncis A. Walker raises this question
in the July number of the Quarterly
journal of Economics, and answers
The simple explanation is that the
multiplication of commodities due TO
the increased facilities of production.
the marvellous increase of travel and
changes in the habits Of our people
with respect to carrying and spending
money, are continually creating a de-
mand for a larger and still larger vol
ume Of actual money, in spite of I'M
proved agencies of exchange and rap
idly multiplying instruments of credit.
The extent of the change can scarcely
be realized by any but those whose
lives cover the two periods mentioned.
While bank checks and other credits
are now performing functions quite
limited or unknown before the war.

The Chicago Tribune says the silver
dollar is dishonest, being worth only
80 cents. But the Tribune did not
always hold to that view. In its issue
of January 10, 1873, the Tribune said:
The old silver dollar of 412! grains
fills the bill exactly. SO long as it was
a legal tender it was an honest dollar,
worth 100 cents, and had the ring Of
true metal Remonetize it, and it will
be again what it was for eighty years
worth 100 cents" For years the
Tribune was the earnest champion Of
the reconciliation of silver, holding
that the act of congress of 1873 was a
crime. At the present time the silver
dollar has no more Jealous foe than the
Tribune.

THE present administration of the
democratic party has proved a failure
to all except Grover Cleveland and the
small class of money changers whose
tool he is. Popular discomfort, which
the people themselves knew not how
to define, defeated republicans in 1892.
They chose what they thought to be the
least of two evils; but time has demon
strated that they Jumped from the fry
ing pan into the fire. The people
have now lost all confidence in democ-
racy; and unless the republican party
redeoms itself in the eye. os the people
on the financial question, it will like
wise be repudiated. Let the party be-
ware.

BELIEVES HI ALL NOW.
DOubtinE DenYcrites Convert. ed 10 Admirers of This Val. ley.

Lawyer T. J. Q'lonnell. counsel of the Colorado River Irrigation Company, returned to Denver Mon dap evening after visit of some days in this valley. He was as tonished and delighted at the re- suits of irrigation here. In com pany with F. K. Atkins and Gran vile Melcon, both Denverftee, he was driven about by General A. T. Sampson. Each of the visitors expressed unqualified delight with the crops and fruits they saw four ishing everywhere. Mir. Malcon, who owns considerable property here, has wintered in California, Florida, Georgia, Havana, southern France, Italy, Honolulu and Phoe- nix. He asserts unqualifiedly that none of the places, save possibly the Sandwich Islands, equals this val ley as Q winter resort.
 Counsellor O'Donnell's testimony is all the more valuable from the fact that his interests would nat urally predispose him in favor of the Colorado country, with which he is professionally identified. He admits that he disbelieyed the glowing accounts that came to Denver from this country. Now he says that half was not told him.
 The land that Lawyer O'Don- nell's company proposes to irrigate includes 19,O0O acres of land until recently included in the Yuma In. dian reservation, and 100000 acres of the Colorado desert. Start ing in the northern end of the reser- yation, where sufficient elevation is attainable, and where the water can be taken from the river by head gates, instead of dams, the company in question has surveyed route for a gravity canal down through the length of the entire reservation and thence out into the desert, the canal dividing at the entrance to the desert and skirting both edges, in order that the pitch of the land may be utilized in each direction, The total length of the canal as surveyed, is about 200 miles it's breadth 156 feet on top, and the depth of water to be carried, 10 feet; in other words, the largest ir' rigation canal in the world. Work is now progressing on the heading. Phoenix Gazette.
