OUR CASH PER CAPITA
1t 10 Increasing Steadily and Exceeds
That of Nearly Every Nation.

1t 10 Increasing Steadily and Exceeds
That of Nearly Every Nation.
The monthly statement from the Treas
ury Department shows that there was in
circulation on the first day of February,
81, 1856. 977 ,6SS. being an increase of $76,-
2o1 ,OS1 over the amount in circulation on
the same date last year.
Estimating the population at ~, 2SS, 900,
this gives per capita circulation of
$23.O5, being perhaps the largest of any of
the leading nations of the earth, except
France.
The circulation of gold coin on Monday
last was $645. 56S, 492. One Year ago
it was $499, 262 ,6S6, being gain of $146,-
293, SOC. This great increase in our stock
of gold is primarily due to the great trade
balance which came up in our favor last
year.
1t does not require so great n volume Of
money to do given amount of business as
IL did FIVE or ten years ago. This is one of
the reasons why so much cash is lying idle
in the banks now. A country merchant
can fill a small store with $1,000 worth Of
dry goods. Five or ten years ago it would
have required 5000 to do it. An indi-
vidual can buy his clothing, furniture and
supplies for much less money than for
merly. SO that, il will be seen, the bust
ness of the country can be done success
fully with relatively a smaller volume Of
money than at any time, perhaps, in our
history.
This fact, taken in connection with the
other fact that we have larger per cap
ita circulation than we had few years
ago, or at any time in the history of our
country, strips naked the plea that all the
ills of mankind are due to the scarcity Of
money in the country. There is plenty
of money. The people need more collat-
erals and better prices for their products.
The one is largely matter of individual
effort; the other, of supply and demand.
How to regulate the latter is not only
the problem of the age. but it has been the
problem Of all the ages.

DYING. A HUNDRED A DAY.
The Veterans OF the Late War Pass
ing RapidIy Away

The Veterans OF the Late War Pass
ing Rapidly Away.
The veteran Union soldiers are dying at
the rate of one hundred day. That H.
what statistics of the Grand Army AL of
the pension Office show. Away back in
the days when the battles were being
fought the news that in any days engage
ment one hundred men had given up their
lives would have pierced the hearts Of
waiting millions, would have deepened the
gloom that Overhung the land. In many
battles thousands rather than hundreds
were TIE victims, but days and weeks,
even months, elapsed before the record
of the dead was heightened. 1t was not
every day In the fiercest, bitterest, bloodi-
est days of the war that a hundred men
fell from the ranks, with their pulses still
ed forever. Those who did die then were
mourned, not alone by their own mothers
and sisters and sweethearts sitting in
their lonely homes, but by the sympathetic
heart of the nation. They ranked as he
roes, as martyrs, as men worthy of all
honor. They had given up homes and the
pursuits of peace for their country's sake;
they had lost their lives, and in losing
won everlasting fame. But of the two
millions of men enlisted a vast number
escaped the bullets of the enemy, the
bursting shells, the starvation prison
camps and the scarcely less fatal hard
ships of field life. They cane home and
took up individual life again, but not
where they had laid it down-oh, no; the
threads had been broken that connected
these returned soldiers with their former
existence. They labored under certain
disadvantages at first on account of this
lack, but the soldierly qualities they had
gained as compensation carried them
through and they have made good citi-
zens in peace, as was to be expected Of
men who were equal to their duty in great
emergency. They have served their coun-
try and their fellow-ereatures well in
whatever capacity they have been tried,
but through all the years since the war
the soldier spirit in them has been dis
cernible. AS they pass on, one hundred
day, they may have assurance that those
years and their glories are to grow bright
er and brighter i'm the country's record;
that they mark an epoch whose impor-
lance is not yet 30 be measured. If the
veteran as an individual Graves a little
share of this praise and esteem il is a hu-
man hunger, and should be gratifed. For
the service that he and his comrades rem
dered was great. And they are dying, one
