Discussing the poor credit and bank
ing facilities of the west and south be-
fore the last meeting Of the American
Economic association, Mr.. Thomas g.
Shearman said:
In the l / southern states it is impos-
sible that one-tenth Of the farmers could
bave any bank accounts or could ever
draw checks in payment for their retail
transactions. In the recent campaign
the successful candidate received the
votes of % states, the defeated eandi-
date the votes Of 22. The 23 states hold
92 per cent of all bank deposits and de-
positors Deducting from the other 20
states the silver states and a few large
cities, the remaining vast agricultural
section of the country, having 40 per
cent of the population and 70 per cent
Of the area, has less than A per cent of
the bank deposits and depositOrs This
suggests what was the real grievance of
this mass Of voters, although they did
not themselves understand it. Their
banking facilities are proportionately
only one-sixteenth of the rest Of the
country.

THE BOROUGH INDEBTED
NESS.

THE BOROUGH INDEBTED
NESS.
OUR neighbor last week took oc-
casion to say that "some i'll think
ing self praising persons in the will
age Matched the report some time
ago that the young men of our town
council were responsible, through
their extravaganza for this indebted
ness, and it proceeds to compari-
sons, which do not compare. In
1895 the article says the council ex-
pended 81, 360.72, which we under
stood was all paid. This year it
spent 81, ,631.77 or S27I.05 more, and
they leave the town in debt S41S.21.
They bought street sprinkler and
paid for it out of money which if APP
piled to the payment of debts would
have left us little over $147 in debt.
1t is not so much the amount of
money they spent, the sprinkler was
perhaps necessary, but the manner in
which they spent it. What we claim
is that the public has derived no
benefit from the outlay, that it was
injudicious, unnecessary, and un-
warranted to expend the amount
they did on two streets. George and
John when there are other streets
nsedvl laTgeeisX by the h4aao p1blit aYg Which lhbehb
was not in the amount, it was in
the manner it was spent, and if this
management continues, as the Dis
patch says it will, what we want to
ask is where will the Borough
stand next spring ? How is the pres
ent debt to be liquidated and the nee
essary amount of work on the streets
to be accomplished without an in
crease in taxation ? The streets
were never worse than this spring,
and never required more work to
make them passable. If they re =
ceive the proper attention or even
the same amount of work as last
year, there will be no money left to
apply on the debt. If the debt re-
presented necessary improvements
there would be no complaint but the
difficulty is it does not, and the Dis
patch can wet it's hands and take
another whack at the situation.

A Movement For Currency reform.


The Massachusetts, Reform club of
Boston has commenced a systematic
movement for practical currency reform.
It has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten
der paper and silver and our silver GER
titoates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates and bank notes
shall gradually take their places" " They
further advocate "such legislation as
viii encourage the establishment and
successful operation Of small banks with
local capital and knowledge Of credits. {"
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
"a statement setting forth the views Of
the club and requesting every friend
Of currency reform to sign the resolu-
tions and send them to congress.
This movement is exactly in line with
the action Of the indianapolis confer
ence, which was 10 impress congress

WHAT is MONEY!
Subject Clearly Explained by a College
President at Farmers Convention.

Subject Clearly Explained by n College
President at a Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton wis. Journal of
III excellent address by President Whit
ford of Milton college before the farm
srs' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton. 1t contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power of
governments to fix value;
First. Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
,he intrinsic or market value of the ar
sicle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
/ known instances what is popularly
called money has only one of these
values
Second. The common practice of
/ tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
| having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for a system of bSnetallism.
Third Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which-is
made of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable in these metals.
ubn ,,orIvot ,oI,7o &c fbaco
metals, not their face value constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason Of which they are almost univer-
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used as
a medium of exchange But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws Of trade, not by the edicts of
government
Fifth. h.-Goverument itself cannot fix
on control the market value or price of
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in the practical arts
So it cannot make fiat money and COM
pei the people to circulate it a great
ANLEtA VI UNIV ttn hAbAiNg VI any hbit
Sixth. ANY coins or other money
whose market value is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins CT other money whose
market valuo is greater according to
their weight, unless the former are re-
deemable in the latter Whenever a coin
shows even a slight inferiority Of its
market value to its face value, it tends
at once to crowd out Of use even coin
whose two values are equivalent.
Seventh. Gold has been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or the standard of values
because Of its greater market value, its
less weight for a given sum of money
and its least 1uctuation i'll market value
Of any Of the precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold The same is true of paper
money, which has no approciable mar
ket value.

WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE

WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE.
If any Democrat has had the
temerity to read the tariff speeches
made in Congress by Democratic
members, he will be astounded at
the fact that some of them are
really advocating protection, at
least they have become so far en-
lightened as to think that for arti-
cles such as cotton and wool which
pertain especially to the southern
section it is not a robber measure.
The average Democrat, however,
displays the same Grass ignorance,
and founders around III the haze
and error of arguments and theories
long ago exploded. Why does not
some brilliant chap among them Of
fer, as was asked a few days ago,
the Wilson bill as a substitute for
the Dingley measure. That would
discover to the country just how
much the leaders of the party have
armed in the past four years. Two
distinguished sons of the south have
spoken, one MIR. Bailey, of Texas,
who can see no sin in a wool duty,
and Mr.. McLaurin, of South Caro-
lima, has no idea now that a man
should be hung in efligy because he
advocates the protection of cotton

KIondike and Prosperity.

TACOMA, Nov. 2O.-A mining machine
manufacturer, who is or the coast in the
interest of his kouse, said that the boom
up north had given such an Impetus to
his business that his plant is running
day and night to try and catch up with
the orders, while his works were closed
entire during 90 and '96.
This encouraging condition of affairs,
he said, is due not entirely to the Klon-
dixie, but a general restoration of con-
fidence of the public in the future pros
perity of the nation.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2O.-At a meeting to.
day of the Chicago-St. Paul roads with
the members of the executive com mittee
of the Western Passenger Association,
the strongest kind of pressure was
brought to bear on the Wisconsin Cen
trai to induce it to withdraw the rates it
made yesterday, but up to late hour it
had not withdrawn. 1t was admitted at
the meeting that, if the Wisconsin Cen
trail and the other roads that met its re-
duction cannot be induced to restore
rates, it is more than likely that there
will be general rate war over the West,
and particularly in the territory of the
Western Passenger Association.
