II is the most astounding thing that
no team Of American athletes can go to
England without getting overturned.
Even clever and experienced Bob Cook
has made this error, it seems. 1t Is
impossible to train crew in England
as it would be trained in America, and
it seems clear that the English method
of training, the result Of decades of ex-
perience, must doubtless be that best
suited to their climate. But this SIM
Die problem was evidently too abstruse
for Bob Cook.

sured. During the first three months

rived from the United States, a greater

" IL lOI ldAcS. Each Sldte eOVcIuuSuI
shall exchange, through the banks of
the general government, the money Of
the general government received by it
for taxes for money of its own issue
and the money Of its own issue OBJ
tanned by such exchange shall be i'm
mediately cancelled. Each municipal
government shall exchange, through
the banks of the general government,
the money of the general and its state
60 vcrnment received by it for taxes
for money of its own issue and the
money of its own issue obtained by
such exchange shall be Immediately
cancelled. For the money received by
the general, state and municipal gov
ernments in payment of taxes and can
celled there shall be no new issue OF
money in lieu thereof.
The general government to coin all
gold and silver bullion brought to It
for that purpose, at minis conveniently
established throughout the country,
into disks of standard size, stamped
with words and figures certifying to
the number of pure grains of gold or
silver in each disk. The general gov
eminent to collect a fixed mintage
charge from the owners Of the bullion
sufficient to cover the cost OF coinage.
All the expenses Of u government
must be provided for either by theft
from the people Of other nations or
by taxation of its own people. The pol
icy of the general government of the
United States is the antithesis OF the
policy of Great Britain and that Of
nearly every other European govern
ment. An honest government, like an
honest man, always pays its expenses
out of it's own pocket. The annual or
binary expenses of the governments Of
this country and all their undertakings
must be borne by the people through
taxation. Therefore, volume OF money
equal to the expenses and enterprises
of a government must be also equal to
the revenue of the government derived
through taxation.
The scheme proposed in this article
provides the people with money suffi-
cient always in volume to pay the gov
ernmental taxation without depriving
any commodity of limited supply Of its
utility. The present trade utility Of
gold and silver in international ex-
change would not be adversely affected,
for only the bullion value of these
metals is now considered in such
transactions, and not the fiat or dollar
value. The cancellation Of the cur
rency returned to government in pay
ment of annual taxes would approx
mately equal the annual issue Of the
government through its payment of or
binary expenses. Issues Of currency to
pay for improvements and enterprises
undertaken by government would be
cancelled as the taxes levied or &C.
count Of such improvements and en-
terprises would fall due. The lnvalida-
ton of all money after ten years and
three months from date Of issue, ex-
cept that deposited in the government
banks, and the cancellation and re-
issue of all deposited money at the end
of ten years would enable govern
ment to keep well advised Of its ex-

In its representative and measuring
qualities combined, the third quality
of money, as a medium Of exchange, Is
created. It does not affect the utility
of the things to be exchanged II the
medium Of exchange is in great or
small supply, but the facilities Tor ex-
change do not affect the selling
price of all commodities. Inadequate
facilities affect Instantaneous
ly both producers and consumers, the
advantage, If any, going altogether 10
those who control the mediums. IL
would not affect the utility II cereals
IL the number of wagons, good ROADS,
bridges and railroad cars were doubled
and the carrying charges reduced pro-
portionately, but the profit to pyoduc-
ers would be increased and the cost TO
the consumers decreased by the greater
rapidity and lessened expense. WIN
which the exchanges could be erected.
The purpose Of tue foregoing expo
sition and illustrations Of the sclentinc
principles of money-crude, perhaps,
but, 1t is hoped ineligible 10 tine
reader-are to suggest two essential
facts. First, that the supply OF money
should always be controlled by the
people, through their governments IN
order that the demands Of trade may be
promptly answered.; second, that
money should be made of some ma
terial that Is cheap and abundant, to
prevent gambling in this necessity OF
commerce.
The country is wonderfully endowed
by nature with riches; the people are
industrious, intelligent and enterpris-
ing, and the annual production OF
wealth is marvellous. With such a
country and people it is possible for the
decentralization state and mu-
nicipal-to establish monetary sys-
tenn that will better fulfill all the re-
quirements of money than any cur
rency now used by this or other coun-
tries. In line, therefore, with this
view, I suggest the following currency
scheme as practical, flexible and safe,
and as one which would enable this
country to free itself from the despot-
ism Of the money-lenders and make
us the strongest nation on earth.
The general government to annually
issue paper money in denominations OF
81, 50, IS, $40, $50 and 500 in volume
sufficient to cover its authorized annual
ordinary expenses. In addition, to is
sue paper money Of same denomina-
tons as hereinbefore named, in volume
sufficient to cover authorized expendi-
lures for all special improvements and
enterprises undertaken by the general
government, said money to be issued
as the expenditures for such purposes
may require, this money to bear upon
its face in clear impression the date Of
January ] of the first year Of actual
issue to the people. All such money,
both for ordinary annual expenses and
for special improvements and enter
prises, to be receivable for all taxes
due to the general government, OF
whatever nature, and legal tender for
all public or private debts.

money, Of same denominations as here
inbefore named, in volume sufficient to

The boom in the bicycle trade gives
a good deal of uneasiness to large man
ufacturers and tradesmen in other
lines. It is claimed that last year the
bicycle took from other trades about
$112,OOO,OO0 The livery business and
carriage trade has suffered enormous
~. In the great cities the theater men
complain that their receipts are much
reduced, as the people prefer bicycle
riding to attending the theater. The
candy-makers say the riders buy less
candy than before they rode, and other
merchants assert that the bicycle Is
responsible for the lessened sale of
books, cigars and even beer and other
beverages. One big firm estimates that
the wheels to be manufactured this
year will number about 100000, and
that the average cost to the consumers
will be SIS per wheel. But this Appeals
too high, as very good wheels are sold
for much less price. However, what
money is lost to other trades is mere
ly diverted to another channel. There
seems to be positive gain to the
country in the lessened use of intoxi-
cants, and we are Of the opinion that
the general public will not take to
heart the plant Of the saloon-keeper
that the bicycle is depriving him Of q
good part of his trade.
It is claimed that the strength Of the
Allied Anti Cigarette leagues all over
the country is something tremendous.
In fact the leaders in this scheme pre-
tend to say that within a short time
they will have acquired so many allies
that they will be enabled to begin a
more public fight Of the question as to
whether the little paper cigarettes shall
be entirely obliterated from the rec
ords of modern life. However, to the
unprejudiced observer their efforts
have borne no actual fruit as yet, for
cigarettes seem as plentiful as ever
heretofore.
