1, % nlain either that business is not
ao,o with money or that we have more
than enough. 80 far as general commerce
IS concerned. Both suggestions are
true. We no doubt have great abund-
ance Of money. and II is certainly a fact
that business is not done with money
Business IS done by trading the surplus
commodities Of one country with those
Of another. and of one locality In the
same country with those OF another 10
cality. the transactions taking the form
Of drafts drawn for the values or the
commodities. which meet in banking
channels. and are there exchanged. This
IS commerce. and that fact accounts Tor
Great Britain doing the enormous busi-
ness that she actually does, with such
small money supply. She does 1t by
exchanging the drafts that are drawn
nv her citizens with those that are
drawn on her by the citizens OF other
countries those drafts representing the
values OF commodities that are shippeu
from and to her.
Now. although the great bulk OF the
business that Great Britain does may
be done between her and other countries
| yet the principles that such foreign
commerce rests upon are in no respect
different from the principles upon which
transactions between North Carolina ana
Virginia rest, or the transactions De-
| tween Richmond and any county in Viz
| ginia rest. The county must sell If II
buys. and Richmond must do the same
thing. Their transactions take on the
apparent guise Of purchases and sales
for money, but they are really just IKE
the transactions between London and
Australia. They are exchanges Of COM
modities. effected through exchanges OF
drafts for their values. This being so.
it is quite likely that our SlSOo.co@o OF
money is far more than we need. If we
only had that same freedom Of creating
J and assigning credits which the English
enjoy. But our act Of Congress which
| suppresses our state banks dcprives our
people Of the local agencies at which
they could get the credits with which
business is done. and it therefore de-
prives them of that practical money with
which the world now conducts its af-
fairs. No amount Of the circulating me-
dunn would answer the demands of the
people even if il were a perfectly sound
circulating medium, because an Of that
leaves the people and drifts off 10 the
commercial centres. But great quaint
ties Of a deprecated money certainly
would not take its place. Nothing will
take its place, as society IS now organ
tied. upon steam and electricity as its
! basis. Least of all will dobased silver
dollars do IT.

TIE OFFICIAL BALLOT.

We have q request from q subscriber
to print the official ballot in order that
voters may be permitted TO examine it
and prepare themselves to vote correctly
We regret that We cannot comply with
the request because unfortunately our
present law forbids anyone but the
printers and the member Of the electoral,
beard charged with having the ballots
printed TO see ballot before the day Of
election. And those officers and agents
who have of necessity seen the ballots
are forbidden to Communicate to any
one any information as 10 the size. style

ballots shall contain the names Of all
