culation of national banksas follows:
1889 S37, 800 73s
Total s67 ,O66 1l9
In 1892 there was an increase of
81, O5S,24S. Still, with this deduc-
ton, there was a contraction during
the term of President Harrison of
$66,OO7 ,9O1 national bank note cir
culation through destruction of the
notes. That much debt-paying
power was taken from the people.
At the same time gold was being
being largely exported.
President Harrison was an I'M
fortunate selection by the people
for that great administrative office.
His early business life was devoted
to technicalities in the law, to aid
persons to avoid paying debts or to
escape punishment from charges of
infraction of the law. He has con-
tracted strange ideas about money,
and declares that the gold dollar
only is money owing to it's full and
intrinsic value; that our silver dol
lar is not money, because the in
trinsic value of the bullion is only
So cents. He declares that it is
not the law which enables the silver
dollar to pay debts, but because il
is based upon gold, yet not one
silver dollar nor a silver certificate
has ever been redeemable by the
United States Treasury in gold coin
The silver dollar has stood alone or
its debt-paying power, and he fol
years has been trying to destroy
that debt-paying power and force
silver coin into disuSe.
The report of the Comptroller OF
Currency of 1891, pages 1873 and
139, shows that the amount Of
national bank notes in circulation
was as follows:
October 81, 1882 $500. $50, us
September o. 1891 III g7S 67s
Withdrawn $3.50, OO4, Ol(
On the former date there was in
the treasury $50, 993, 461 in green
backs for the redemption of retiring
national bank notes, and on the
latter date 1902, 1915. What a
frightful shrinkage-$1S9, O04 ,O4O
in the debt paying power of the
people /! An object lesson indeed,
felt severely by every business
interest in the county, and which
forced the New York Clearing
House Association on the 18th OF
November, 1891, to authorize the
issue of certificates, to be accepted
in lieu of money in the settlement
of clearing house balances. The
next day $l6,645,00O OF this illegal
currency was issued.
For the period extending from
the list of January, 1890, to the
3lst of August, 1891, the exports
of gold was S75, 4O5, 613, net. Thus
the candle of contraction was burn
ing at both ends-nationa bank
notes retired from circulation and
gold exported. Thus the business
people were deprived of their debt
paying power. Politicians were
believing that the tariff was wreck
ing the country, and weak minded
men that there was an overproduc-
ton of mankind's blessings. II
was nothing more nor less than a
contracted circulation of money that
was doing the wrecking and caus
ing a heavy decrease in the value
of all products.

EXPORT OF GOLD.

In July, 1888, an expectation Of
gold began, which continued right
along, and now has assumed i'm
mense proportions. The eXporta.
ton of gold and the cancellation Of
national bank notes was an object
lesson in contraction, which the
people are feeling most seriously.
The Democratic politicians, with
the office holders, succded in NOM
mating Cleveland for second term,
but the people were so dissatisfied
with his financial policy that they
voted for Benjamin Harrison. They
did not believe they could fare
worse. Harrison was elected, and
on the 4th of March, 1889, inaugu-
rated President. His was the same
unfortunate policy of contraction as
his predecessor. He kept in the
same groove, buying bonds, paying
% per cent premium, and allowing
the banks to retire their circulation
without urging upon Congress that
it be replaced with other money.
