A New Financial sx.te,n.

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
a'me 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 he correct in all years to come. If
i've could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain Il sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of Il pound and the length of Il
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the Uncertainty could
hardly be SO dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding tlle unit of value.
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business OF: the country, not
alone in the north anCtpast, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government notes.-Iron
Age.

GOOD Money Is Good Anywhere.
While Il government can within it's
territory define that which shall con-
stitute u legal tender in satisfaction of
contracts past and future, it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value of
it's money, for money is a commodity,
and it's value is determined in the mar
kcts of the world under the laws of
trade, and the laws Of trade, like tho
laws of nature, are stronger and more
fur-rcaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is cXchangcablc at par,

mint il Is issued but also iu the luay.

Can't Export Laws.

No civilized country can confine its
citizens within its own territory or pro-
hibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howso-
ever absolute may be the power of its
government, its laws can have no OK
tra-tcrr:toraI effect. No government,
therefore, can prescribe the standard
by which its currency shall be valued in
any other country, or compel the citi-
HcnS of another country to receive its
currency save at he bullion value Of

More Money In Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in circula.
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be OH a flood tide. For more than
Il 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-
tion 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.
09,725,2Oo, making $2l.15 per capita on
an estimated population of 71,39O,OO0.
November i, 1896, on the eve of the
election, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
debascd and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was 1,G27 ,O55,-
GA, lnaking S22.63 per capita, on an es.
timated population of 100000.
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..
'so,oof:"oo, ilidhIHS F@o.1f PER ci Dptu OIL
an estimated population of 72,41s,OOO.
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
$165,9G9, 1853, or more than So per capita
OF the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high-watcr marks
the per capita circulation is still $1.3O
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 provcrb that nimble sixpence is
better than a slow shilling.-Chicago
Timcs-11erald.

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-
tion 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
crnment currency and the deficiencies
of the bank currency are now pretty
we'll recognized, and every day shows in
creased carnestness III the demands Of
business men for a complete and per.
manent cure,-IrOn Age

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jones Admits Thnt There Cal
DC hut One Standard of Value,

senator Jones ADMITS IhOt Ihere CAn
DC hut One Standard of Value.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
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. If there
be 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 yard shall he either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at Il 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 ton shall be either 1000 or 2,24O
pounds, he will receive tons of 1000
pounds each. If he buys potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that dollar is either Il gold coin, with
q bullion value equal to it's 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 ut any time Il BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create a 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 a variance between the legal
and market relations of the metals the
standard would be practically based OH
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
