One Of Grants victories.

One Of General Grants greatest vic-
tories was not won in war, but in times
of profound peace. On April 28, 1874,
he vetoed an imitation bill which had
passed both houses of congress, by de-
cided majorities, and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions to those clamor-
irg for more money" The pressure
for the bill was not all political. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order to "stop agita-
tion.' In this trying situation President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
par tisanship and q clear conception Of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions Of immediate
business expediency.
He vetoed the bill because in theory
it would produce imitation. 1.-THE theo-
ry," he declared, ''in my belief is "a de-
parture from the true principles Of
finance, national interest, national obli-
cations to creditors. congressional prom
AcN, Pudty PiCuSSS VII SuC puIt VI DOtA
political parties and of personal views
and promises made by me in every an
nual message sent to congress and III
each inaugural address"
So far from being a settlement"
the bill invited agitation. SHOULD
it fail to create the abundance Of
circulation expected of it, the friends
OF the measure, particularly those out
of congress, would clamor for such
initiation as would give the expect
eel relief" Anu he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, II
I'm not a believer in any artificial meth
cd of making paper money equal to
coin when the coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex-
actly in proportion to the amount Of
coin that it can be converted into"
The monetary battles of this country
are not yet all fought. Grants words
and acts should inspire those engaged in
the present struggle.

Secretary Of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
I'm my Judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system il its
lack of elasticity. The demand for
money, in this country, is SO irregular
that ali amount Of circulation which
win be ample during ten months Of the
year will frequently prove SO deficient
during the other W. months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster.
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move
ment to market, III August and Septem-
her. annually causea q dangerous alb
sorption of money. The lack OF a suffi.
cient supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
we'll as upon other business interest"
How hard and inelastic is our present
unscicntific currency system, or lack Of
system, is apparent when a comparison
is made WITH the currency systems of
other countries. In a pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currency committee
of the Reform club Mr.. L. Carroll Root
illustrates the relative elasticity of 90
different banking systems in 16 different
countries. He says:
1.-THE data secured includes weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank currency
systems Of the world. The period COW
cred In each case is the two years 1894
and 1895. The method of preparation
of diagrams has been to take the mini
mum circulation of the period as a base
line and to reduce the amounts on other
dates to percentages of this. In this way
q ommon measure has been secured,
and comparison Of one diagram with
another is facilitated"
We reproduce below three Of Mr..
Roots diagrams which show in a strik-
ing way the great difference in elasticity
of currencies in Scotland. Canada and
tho United States.
