>. 100

This amount, these experts now esti-
mate, has been increased to about S15.-
100000. In proportion to the amount of
currency in circulation, the amount de-
stroyed is not so great now as it was in
war times, but there is much more in cir
c%ulation now The present estimated
profit of the Government on paper cur
rency destroyed is half a million dollars
every year, despite the fact that the treas
ury makes every effort to redeem all the
currency it issues. A special corps of ex-
perts is employed in the redemption divis-
ion to examine the mutilated currency
presented. 1t comes in, sometimes, in
pulp, in ashes, in t%atters, worn and torn.
The experts work on it with microscopes,
pull it apart and piece it together, MAX
ing every possible effort to identify it.
1T a part of a torn bill is presented for re-
demption, the owner receives for it an
amount proportional to it's percentage of
the area of the entire note. If torn, burn
ed fragments are sent in with satisfactory
evidence that they are the sole remains of
a certain sum of money, the entire amount
is refunded.
The Government even sends special
agents in some cases to investigate claims
for the redemption of money; it redeems
money which has been in birds nests;
money which has been in stoves; money
which has been in goats stomachs; mon
ey which has been in babies mouths;
The Madisonian. (Virginia City, Mont.) 1873-1915, 1896-12-05

1871. Few. if any, of these will ever be
presented for redemption. Meantime, the
interest which the Government has not
paid for the use of this money amounts
to $26.4OO at single interest alone. What
it would aggregate at compound inter
est l leave any one who is interested to
determine.

Money in Currency.
The profit made by the Government on
bonds is very small compared with the
profit on unredeemed currency. Of course,
no one will ever know just what amount
of currency has been destroyed, but the
treasury experts made an estimate for the
benefit of Congress in the last admins
t%ration, and expressed the belief that
about $12,5O0,OOO profit had accrued to
the Government up to Jan. 1, 1891, from
Omitted States notes, gold and silver
certificates and national bank notes which
would not be presented for redemption.
This amount the experts distributed as
follows:
National bank notes ........ $6,394.555
United States notes ......... 5,410,541
Silver certificates ........... AL, 1904

were equally guilty with the employers
in not reporting the matter TO the au-
thorities so that the parties could be
punished under he law.
Information was received at Repub-
lican national headquarters today to
the effect that certain voters intending
20 support Bryan were applying to the
railroads for transportation to their
homes, and that they are using the
letterheads Of the Republican national
committee or the Republican state cen
tral committee in making such appli-
cation. The request is made by the Re-
publican committee that persons receiv-
ing applications tor transportation shall
be upon their guard. and that the chair
can Of state and county Republican
committees shall act. with great eau
tion in considering the matter OF appli-
cations for transportation.

A NEW DEAL EVERY FIVE YEARS.

A fair example of the kind Of argu-
ment(0 the average free silverite is ca
pable of making when driven by some
sharp questioner into a corner. where
he is thrown off the pat and stereotyped
phrases which Stewart and other min
ing magnates have invented and put
into his mouth, was heard in a group
gathered yesterday on Bond street. A
local agitator was railing against the
enormous fortunes which a favored
few, he said, under the law had been
able to pile up at the expense Of the
masses, He was proceeding in the usu-
al style to inveigh against the unright-
eous inequality OF the laws, when a
by-stander interrupted his lurid ora
tory with the remark that 1t always
seemed to him that the inequality"
complained of was more chargeable
against nature rather than to any con-
dition OF law. He said that he believed
that even If all the benefits claimed
for free silver were admitted, that the
great fortunes Of which the silver men
complained would still be accumu-
lated by a comparative few, and that
in fve years the masses Of the people
would be as poor as they were now.
Turning to the silver man, he then
asked, what would you do then to
relieve the condition of the poor?"
oh" said the free silver philosopher,
Il guess we would have to so in for
another divvy all around"
