Mr.. Chas. N. Fowler congressman
from New Jersey, and a member o
the committee Of the house on bank
ing and currency sends out a circular
embodying his views Of currency re-
form as set forth in bill he has be.
f-,e congress. The Bankers maga.
zine says 1t would give the country In
few years "a safe and elastic paper
currency, Of one uniform kind that
would circulate at par in every part
Of the United States, at the same
time there would be retained In cir
culation sufficient stock of gold and
silver coin always ready to pay ball
ances at home and abroad"
rsThe Journal OF Commerce, IN. W
says the bill "embodies the essential
principles of an elastic banking cur
rency based upon the gold standard. Z"
Mr.. Fowler's bill demands three OBJ
jects TO be secured: /. An unequlyo-
cal measure or standard OF value; 2.
A system Of credit currency; 3. De-
Inand obligations TO be retired. Mr..
Fowler adds:
ITO these suggestions / desire to
add that | regard the right OF note
issue as valuable franchise and that
a full consideration should be realized
by the people OF the United States for
that privilege"
While Mr.. Fowler advocates sys-
tenn OF bank notes on gold basis he |
has following condemnation of our
present system OF currency:
"our present system OF currency Is
such that the slightest doubt thrownI
upon our ability or disposition to
maintain II upon a gold basis shakes
every business 10 its very foundation;
spreads devastation OF values every |
where, paralyzes enterprises aud
brings upon our people losses OF un-
told millions. In addition TO this
disturbance TO business aud lncom-
prehensIble loss to the people, the
actuary Of the treasury has Informed

The National Business League has adj

Congress of new department Of the
Government entitled the Department Of
Commerce and Industry. II suggests that
this department include, among other
things, matters relative to the gathering

BUSINESS is RETARDED.
Bradstrcet Reports n Slowness in Gen
eral Trade.


Bradstreet's latest commercial report
says: General trade retains most of the
features Of week ago, with continued
check to the movement of staple merchan-
disc. At larger Eastern and central
Western cities sales of seasonable goods
have not eQualed expectations, and at
none Of these points has the volume Of
business Increased. At Chicago. st. Louis,
Baltimore, New York and Providence
there has been decrease in the volume
of business in some lines. The Northwest
continues to make relatively more favor
able reports as to trade, although at Mil
waukee and Minneapolis mild weather has
checked distribution. Wheat is again
above a dollar, ON continued heavy ex-
ports. Our wheat export movement, ag-
gregating more than 100000 bushels
within thirteen weeks, is unprecedented,
and points to a keener appreciation OF the
statistical strength of wheat by European
importers than by many American trad
ers. Exports of wheat, -four included as
wheat, from both coasts Of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 1901 ,391 bushels, against s.
b52, 900 bushels last week. Exports Of In
dim corn amount to 1850 1913 bushels this
week, compared with 1,111,OOO bushels
last week."

writes j. Z. McCaskey. There Is story
of selfish farmer who had got a new
variety Of Indian corn, and to a neigh
Dor who wanted to buy little Of It he
replied: mot q grain" In his ignor
ance he thought he could keep 1t all on
his own farm. He did not know Of
stamen and pistil, pollen and ovary.
but his neighbor did, The new corn
happened to be planted along the lire
fence between the farms. The neigh
Dor, seeing this, selected the best grains
from the middle Of some of his best
ears for seed, and planted them on the
other side Of the fence. The corn grew
and fiourished. When II was time for
the staminate blossoms of the tassel 10
shed their pollen upon the silken bloom
below, he cut the plume from every
stock Of his own corn, so that no pollen
from his own field should fertilize his
corn-it must all come from the other
side Of the fence. The new corn was
rich In pollen which fioated on the air
and fell here and there with little re.
gard to lire fences. When husking time
came both men hauled to. their harms
nearly the same kind OF corn-much to
the chagrin and somewhat to the edil.

ANSWER FROM SPAIN.
Wordford's Note Does Not Gull Forth
n Defiant ReDly.

wordford's Note Does Not COLL Forth
Defiant Reply.
President Mckinley has had laid before
him ut Washington the text of Spain's
answer to Minister Woodford. In COM
pany with Secretary Sherman and As
sistant Secretary Adee he went over the
document with great care. AS u result
1t can be stated from official quarters at
the White House that the construction
placed upon the answer by the administra-
ton is that 1t is not defiant in tone, is not
menacing and is not warlike. Under such
circumstances those officials who are
chiefly concerned in the negotiations do
not feel that any crisis is near at hand,
nor do they fear that the answer presents
an issue beyond the power Of diplomatic
solution. On the contrary, the entire dis
position in administration quarters is to
treat the answer as satisfactory in tone,
and as marked advance in the assur-
ances Spain has heretofore given. Not
withstanding this official view, there are
those who believe that the message is
much stronger in tone than the officials
will admit, and that 1t presents issues
which will call from the President ring
ing message when he lays the case and all
the correspondence before Congress few
weeks hence. From no authoritative
source, however, can this belligerent view
be confirmed. -s

Rich Gypsies.

Many of the English gypsies who
wander to and fro in our land have
considerable means. During the winter
they live in cities, but with the COM
Ing Of summer the old wild love of the
open country, with the sky for cover
ing, comes over them, and they go back
to their camps and to the people of their
race. They are great horse traders and
the women are successful fortune tell
ers. Both men and women are pleasant
and laxative. They speak English
readily. although for their own CONVEX
sation they use nothing but the Romany
tongue. All Of them have two names,
the gypsy name and the corresponding
name in English. Lee and Stanley are
common names among them, and you
are pretty safe In addressing any Eng
lish gypsy by one or the other.
