a New Plan.

We don't see any good reason why
the plan proposed by Representative
W a. Smith of Michigan, in the bill
introduced by him, for absorbing the
greenback, is not a good one until q
better one shall be provided. This is
to require the national banks in sixteen
leading cities to keep on hand as re-
serves at least - per cent OF their notes
in circulation and of their deposits, and
other banks II per cent. The deposits
of the national banks amount to about
81, 7l5, 900 900, and these bank reserves
would take up about $4,000 Of treas
urv notes and keep them out of the
treasury. This would put the endless
chain beyond the reach Of the gold
brokers. The banks would suffer no
Inconvenience from the arrangement
They are obliged to maintain a specified
reserve Of % per cent. or less, as the
case NAV be, anyway, and since they
must lock up that amount of money as
a protection to their depOsltors and
note holders it is far better that it
should be greenbacks than gold. 1t
will release for active circulation all the
gold that is displaced by greenbacks
We might suspect that some danger or
evil, not apparent on the surface, might
be developed in the practical operation
Of this scheme, but as it Is said to have
received the approval of Senator Sher-
man and Comptroller Eckels, who are
thoroughly familiar with the workings
OF the national banks, it is pretty safe
to take it on its apparent merits. t. a
certain extent II offers a remedy for
the evils of the unretirable green
backs, for it practically withdraws
them from active circulation, without,
in any way, contracting the volume OF
effective circulation Pioneer Press

Charity. almsgiving. is a opiate now

disease Is known rs competitive pro-

ease are rent, interest and profit. These
humors are produced by a parasite

the treatment of this disease narcotics
are dangerous. Almsgiving. suppress

have al proved fatal. These and all
other methods of sympathetic treat
