Government Currency.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through a term of years,
and why it is inelastic, remaining al
most without change from season to
season, is that the security for it is-a
deposit of government bonds. The
bank capital is in the treasury instead
of in business. The profits on circula-
ton decline as the bonds increase in
value or the rate of interest declines,
and the redemption process is slow and
Ineffective. The dangers of the gov
ernment currency and the deficiencies
well recognized, and every day shows in
creased earnestness in the demands of
business men for complete and per-
manent cure.-Iron Age.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-04-29
A New Financial System.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs to our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper cam
be free from objection, because it's vol
ume and redeemability will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions of the presi-
dent. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of a pound and the length of a
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit Of value.
This explains why SO many of the men
who do the business of the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government notes.-Iron
A or,

More Money in Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in clrcula-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on a food tide For more than
a twelvemonth now the amount of
money in circulation in the United
States has been steadily on the increase.
July /, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was in the process of incuba-
ton and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu-
lating medium, the total money in cir
culation in the United States was ST.
5o9,725,2oo, making $21.15 per capita on
an estimated population of 71,39o,oO0.
November /, 1896, on the eve of the
election, when the people Of the United
States were to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $1,627,055,-
GA, making $22.63 per capita on an es-
timated population Of 71,9o2,000.
March /, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.
675,694,953, making $23. Il per capita on
an estimated population of 72,41s,000.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
$165, 969,753, or more than So per capita
of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high-water marks
the per capita circulation is still $3.50
below that of 1892, just before the panic.
But the per capita is now higher than
it was in 1890 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 on the amount of money in circula-
ton. This is simply the teaching of the
old proyerb that nimble sixpence is
better than slow shilling.-Chicago
Times-Herald.

Senator Jones Admits That There Can
re- nut one STANDARD. OF value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard OF yalue,
any more than it can MAINTAIN more
than one standard Of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard of length. LII there
ba 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 a yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at a fixed price,
there will be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards of two feetin length.
Ii he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that a ton shall be either 1900 or 2,240
pounds, he will receive tons of 1900
pounds each. II he buys potatoes by the
bushel, tire law being that bushel
shall contain either two peclls or four
peclxs, there will be delivered to him
bushels OF two pecl1s each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that dollar is either a gold coin, with
a bullion value equal to its face value,
or a silver coin, with a bullion value OF
| only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin,. the sell
ers Of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars Of the lesser
value
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time bl-
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences of injustice with refer
ence to past contracts and uncertainty
with reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report of the silver commission of 1876
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is 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.-C.

Three Facts.

l. The money supply of this country
and of the world at large is not con-
tracing, but increasing rapidly. 2.
The low price of farm products is
caused by increased production, not by
contraction of the currency. 8. Free
coinage of silver would not improve the
condition of anyone and would be the
cause of great hardships and privations
tc the wage earning classes and all per-
sons of small means.

Confidence Makes Gold Plentiful

Confidence Makes Gold Plentiful.
The gold standard does not restrict us
to the use of gold. Our country, like
every other gold standard country, uses
vast amounts of silver concurrently

There is no shortage of gold. It's pro-
duction is steadily increasing. When
confidence prevails, there is no lack OF
gold for currency or any other pur-
poses.
