If there wa any actual relation be
tween the quantity of money in circuia-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on Il food tide. For o than
L tweIvem0nth EOw the amount of
money in circulation II the United
States has been steadily on the increase.
July !. 1896, about ;hc time the Chicago
platform WAS IL the process OF incuba-
ton and the mouth OF the popOcrat WAS
full of demands for more of the circu-
lating medium, the ;Jtal money in cir
cuiation in the United States was ST.
500, 725,200. making s2l.15 per capita on
an estimated population Of f1,39G,C00.
November /, 1896. on the eve of the
election, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
d debaSed and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $1,G27,O55,-
Ga, making $22.G3 per capita on an es-
timated population OF 1902, coo.
March /, 1897. on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration. the totai money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.
G75,Cg4.952, making $23.14 per capita on
an estimated population OF =, lIS,OO0.
To fully appreciate this increase Of
the money in circulation in the United
States il Is only necessary TO say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
S165, 500. 100, or more than 81 per capita
of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high-water marks
the per capita circulation is still $1.30
below that Of 1882. just before the panic.
But the per capita is now higher than
it was in 1880 or any year in the history
of the republic prior to that. Then
why are the times not as good as they
were along in the late SOS? Simply
because good times depend on public
confidence and industrial activity, and
not or the amount of money in ~circula-
ton. This is simply the teaching of the
old prOverb that a nimbie s~ixpence is
better than a slow shilling.-Chicagn

ssS DIE Une ctlHA2-N VI N"AcC"
No government can maintain al one
time more than n standard of value,
anv more than, it can maintain NOR
than enc standard of weight, or more
tnan one standard of measure, or IOT
than one standard of length. If there
DC two or more standards of different
value. the standard of lower value will
in practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market, the law
being that 4 YARD shall be either two
feet OF three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the ward at 4 fixed price,
there will lie delivered to him carpett
measured in yards of two feetir length.
Il he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that Il ton shall be either 1880 or 2,2i0
pounds, he will receive tons OF 1000
pounds each. If he buys potatoes by the
busheI. the law being that Il brshel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks. there will be delivered TO him
bushels of two pccks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that a dollar IS either Il gold coin, viii,
Il bullion value equal TO its face value.
or a silver coin. with 4 bullion value OF
only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
crs of the carpets. the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars OF the lesser
value.
There re.er has hcSn and there never
can be in any country at any time a bi-
metallic standard. and the attempt IL
create Il double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard. with the inevitable
consequences OF injustice with refer
emce to past contracts and uncertainty
with reference &c future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report of the silver commission of 1876
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is 4 variance between the legal
and market relations of the metals the
standard would be practically based on
one metal, and it the cheaper and more
available one" The financial history OF
the United States and of France furnish
conclusive evidence Of the accuracy OF
the senator's view on this point.

Framing n Bankruptcy Dill.

The House judiciary committee has
agreed on a bankruptcy bill, and It will be
reported to the House as early as possible.
The committee was in session throughout
the day yesterday, and when the measure
was finally passed Chairman Henderson
was authorized to report the Senate BILL
known as the Nelson bill. to the House.
with all after the enacting clause stricken
out, and the Henderson bill, as agreed on,
inserted as an amendment or substitute
There were two important changes from
the bill as reported by the subcommittee
The bill, as drawn, provided in effe.t that
all liens created by judgment and levy. or
by attachment within four months of the
adjudication in bankruptcy should be void,
or If enforced go for the benefit of the
creditors and also that all money collected
by the enforcement of such lien should
be paid over to the trustee when ap-
pointed. This is modified so that these
liens will not be affected unless obtained in
fraud of the act. The provisions of the bill
creating offences punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment were also modified by making
many of such offences cause for refusing a
discharge in bankruptcy instead of pun
ishable otherwise.

National COIOrs to Float Daily Owe
All DiAtri BUILDINGS.


1t is moro than probable that hereafter
"Old Glory will float every day. from
sunrise to sunset, on every building in
the fire department., as well as in the po-
lice department, as an order to that effect
Is expected to be made shortly by the Dis
trict Commissioners:
The attention of Commission Wight was
called today by a citizen to the fact tina
only on stated occasions Is the national
emblem swung TO the, breeze on the houses
of the fire and police departments Mr.
Nights visitor, explained that his little
son, living in sight Of an engine company s
quarters, had asked why the stars and
stripes were not run up every day, as
they are on the school houses. The boys
father was unable to explain. The Com
missioner said he knew of no reason why
the flag should not float daily from every
house in both departments. Indeed. he
remarked, he saw every reason for carrying
the boys suggestion into execution, as he
believes the stars and stripes cannot be
seen too often. MrssWight said, however,
that he feared every house Is not equipped
with a flag, bit his caller assured him
that If a flag cannot be had in any other
way for every house in the fire and police
departments, the people living in the vi
entity wial quickly provide them with
them.
Mr.. Wight promised to look into the mat
ter, and 1t is probable that formal order
will soon be issued in the matter, reQuir-
ing the national colors to float every day
over every house in both departments
from sunrise to sunset, as well as from
ell other District buildings.

the question in all its bearings.
The court held, first that the
ordinary services of officers and
witnesses may be required by the
State without compensation, and
that they are not protected by
the particular service clause of
the constitution. Second, that
the classifcations of the act are
not arbitrary and capricious, but
based on good and sufficient reas-
ons, and that this was matter
largely of legislative discretion.
Third, that there was nothing in
the act that deprived the accused
of any constitutional right touch
ing his trade; that the jury and
the officers who summons and at.
tend them are paid, as before the
act, out of the public treasury,
Fourth, that the act is not open
to any constitutional objections
whatever, and that it is in all re-
spects valid.
