in accordance with this scheme, to be

months from date of issue, except such
as has been deposited in banks estab-

hereinafter provided for.
The general government to estab-

to 1t for taxes. Each state government
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
go comment received by 1t for taxes

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 Il
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 a 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 its 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, q volume of money
equal to the expenses and enterprises
Of q 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 sufll-
cient always in volume to pay the gov
ornamental taxation without depriying
any commodity of limited supply Of its
Utility. The present trade utility of
old 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 fat or dollar
value. The cancellation Of the cur
rency returned to a 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
by a government would be
cancelled as the taxes levied or ac-
count Of such improvements and en-
terprises would fall due. The invalida-
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 If the
medium of exchange Is in great or
small supply, but the facilities for ex-
change do not affect the selling
price Of all commodities. Inadequate
facilities affect disadvantageous-
ly both producers and consumers, the
advantage, If any, going altogether to
those who control the mediums. 1t
would not affect the utility If cereals
if the number of wagons, good roads,
bridges and railroad cars were doubled
and the carrying charges reduced pro-
portiOnately, but the profit to produc-
ers would be increased and the cost to
the consumers decreased by the greater
rapidity and lessened expense, with
which the exchanges could be ettecled.
The purpose Of tue foregoing expo
sition and illustrations of the scientific
principles of money-crude, perhaps,
but, it is hoped Ineligible TO the
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
governments-national, state and mu-
nicipal-to establish a 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, $50, $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 1 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.
Each state government to issue paper
money, Of same denominations as here
inbefore named, in volume sufficient to

What HIntorr Pronen.

To those of our readers who believe
that the republican party did great
and good act In resuming specie pay
ments we submit the following bit Of
history taken from Sir Archibald ALI
sons History Of Europe:
The suspension OF specie payments
by the Bank of England in 1897 led to
the use Of an enormous amount Of ir-
redeemable paper money.
The result was magical.
It terminated in blaze of glory and
a flood of prosperity which has never
before, since the beginning OF the
world, descended upon any nation.
Prosperity universal and unheard of,
peryaded every department of the en-
pire.
Agriculture, manufactures and COM
MERGE increased in unparalleled ratio.
The landed proprietOrs were in afflu-
ence.
Wealth to an unheard Of extent was
created among the farmers.
Our exports, imports and tonnage
more than doubled, and the condition of
the people was one Of extraordinary
prosperity.
From 1897 to 1919 no financial en-
barrassments of any moment were ex-
perienced, and in vain Napoleon waited
for the stoppage Of England's financial
resources.
But the resumption Of specie pay
ments in 1S19--the change Of the
financial system from legal tender
paper to metal money-was ruinous to
all the Industries Of England. The
distress became insufferable, and in
Manchester 10000 men, women and
children assembled, demanded blood or
bread, and many Of the people were
killed and many were wounded by
British troops.
Cannot the reader who Is 35 years
old and upwards turn to American his
tory and recall a parallel to the above?

for a moment and there was a fash Of
recognition. Then the man recovered
control of himself. He resumed his seat
and through the remainder of the service
sat with bowed head and shamefaced
mien. Few of the audience saw the lit
tie scene. The two were principals in the
notorious Overman-Brown church trial
in San Francisco, Rev. Charles 0. Brown
and Miss Matte Overman.

The Rev. Mr.. Brown, when the meet
ing was over, went his own way and
that brief glance during the services was
their only meeting.

HALE AHEAD OF THE RECORD
Sixteen Hundred and Sixty Miles and Eight
Lans At q O'clock

New York, Dec. 11.-When Hale, the
Irish rider, completed his hundredth hour
in the six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden, he had exactly 1,400
miles to his credit. That was at o'clock
this morning. His closest rivals. Rice
and Forster, were four hours later in
making the same number OF miles and at
s o'clock all three were showing no evil
dence of readiness to quit.
During the night Glyck, Cannon, Cas-
sidy. Mcleod, Schock and Pierce were
off the track for two or more hours. Rice
was being better handled than he had
been and seemed likely to come pretty
nehrto landing second money, although
Forster was giving him hard run.
All the riders except Hale were out at
9 o'clock. The Irishman was then 140
miles ahead of the record and the other
first eight were also beyond IL. Fors-
ter rode very erratically during the morn
ing. At 2 o'clock he ran into Schock and
both tumbled. but remounted quickly
and resumed the race. Three hours Ia
ter Forster collided with Rice. and Mad
dox, who was few feet behind, sprawled
over both Of them. Forster was then
warned to ride more carefully and his
trainer gave him some stimulants, but he
was still wobbly and rode at a very slow
gait for several hours.
