Since the question Of what to do with
the greenbacks. and il they are retired,
with what to replace them, is being
agitated again in congress, and all over
the country for that matter some fig
ures and extracts relating to the cur
repcy question from the last report of
the comptroller Of the currency may ne
OF interest.
The administration. large majority
of the bankers OF the country, and
good many members Of both political
parties are strongly in favor OF retiring
the BAG million of greenbacks at present
outstanding and replacing them with
national bank circulation.
Under present conditions the national
banks are taking out the minimum
amount of circulation allowed by law
and republican and democratic secre-
taries OF the treasury andcomptrollers of
the currency have alike urged upon con-
gress to remove some of the restrictions
now placed upon national bank circula-
ton, and thus induce the banks to in
crease their note issue, by making it a
source OF profit to them. II the changes
in the law recommended by Comptroller
Eckels in his last report we're made, it is
conceded that the national banks at
present in operation in this country
would increase their circulation nearly
$50 million dollars, or nearly enough to
take the place OF the greenbacks and
also the treasury notes which amount to
15O million more. Enough new banks
would undoubtedly be organized to
greatly increase this amount. OF course,
in order to induce the banks to issue
this additional circulation there must
be larger profit in the operation for the
banks than at present. otherwise there
would he no object in their going to the
trouble OF an increase. But the con-
sideration with the public is not so
much the amount Of profit made by pri-
vate corporations as the absolute security
Of the notes issued to circulate as
money. A few figures from the comp
troller's report will satisfy any intelli-
gent person Of the perfect safety of ma
tional bank currency under the proposed
conditions. First take the question Of
profits Of the banks, as it is urged by
many that the earnings are already so
large that there should be no additional
profit on circulation. The report shows
that the average het earnings OF the ma
tional banks in 1895 was so per cent. Of
their capital and surplus. In New York
state the average net earnings for the
year on capital and surplus were 4.94
per cent, in Pennsylvania 6.

times in swift succession. one blow

sat back upon the ropes half-dazed.
Then as he tried to rise Ryan let him

with his left. Dunfee was crowded

wEYLER BARS THE WEED
No Tobacco to be Exported From Cuba to
the United States.


New York, May 1S.-Importers of to-
bacco from Cuba were inclined to doubt
today the authenticity of a dispatch
from Havana TO the effect that General
Weyler had forbidden the expectation
of tobacco from Cuba. General Wey-
Ter, it is understood, has taken this step
because Of the financial assistance rem
dered to the cause OF the revolution IN
Cuba by the Cuban and Spanish cigar
makers in this country, and presuma-
bly, elsewhere out of Cuba A member
of a wholesale grocery house that i'm
ports more tobacco and cigars from
Cuba than any other firm, speaking Of
this alleged order by the Spanish COM
mander-in-chief in Cuba said today:
"If the Geographic dispatches con-
corning this matter are correct the
while manufacturing tobacco trade in
this country viii be demoralized. The
price OF Havana cigars constantly fiuc-
tuates as far as the dealers are con-
cerned, although the consumers per-
haps don't know it. There has been
gradual increase in the price of tobacco
the last two or three months, but it Is
impossible 70 say how much the prices
ofdomest ic cigars are to be increased
by our failure to get tobacco from Cuba.
Some Sumatra leaf is used for making
cigars but it is not so satisfactory, OF
course, as the Havana. The enforce
ment Of General Weyler's decree would
greatly interfere with the factories in
Florida. But it is early yet to prophe-
sy. I think the manufacturers in this
country have Cuban tobacco on hand
sufficient to last them for a few months
The importation of leaf tobacco from
Cuba ran from 100000 900 pounds in 1886
to q 900. 600 pounds in 1893, falling to 20
600, 900 in 1895. The value of the tobac-
co ranged from 81. 900, 900 in 1886 70 50. 900
600 in 1893. and $1,000 600 in 1895. The
value OF manufactures of tobacco (ci-
gars) imported from Cuba in 1856 was g
100, 900, and the importations gradually
increased until 1890, when their value
was $500. 600 Then the importa tiona
Cor Values) decreased until in 1895 the
total value OF rhe manufactures Of to-
bacco (cigars) imported were only 81
Gao, 600.
The manufacturers ofcigars, and the
laborers employed by them are arrsng-
ing for a manifestation IN honor of Cap
tain General Weyler. on account Of his
prohibition of the expectation of leaf
tobacco, thus insuring additional en-
ployment to them.
