Stockings and Holes In the Ground Receive Vel.
low Hoards- Traits of MI sers.
The free silver scare has great ly stimu-
lated the boarding of gold b. the people.
steady stream of the yellow metal is
flowing out of the treasury into the oil d
stockings and cracked teapots which are
used as private hiding places for money.
1t is swallowed up like brook in san dy
desert, disappearing from sight and with
drawn from usefulness to mankind. The
notion seems to have struck many thrift ty
persons that gold will soon be worth a
premium, while Others imagine that no
other form Of cash is quite safe at pres
emit When the everyday citizen comes
to sub-treasury and asks for gold in ex-
change for notes, the object in view is
pretty evident Likewise it is with some
banks, which are giving up notes in large
amounts and storing away eagles and
double eagles in their vaults. These are
the items which come under the head Of
'hoardings' in the treasury bulletins,
and they amount just now to hundreds of
thousands Of dollars day.
/ There is at all times a good deal of
boarding, says the Washington Post
especially in parts of the country where
savings banks are scarce. Among the in
hahitants of such remote districts favor
| lite method of concealing cash is to put it
| in a tin box and bury it either in the eel
