about the new notes which Secretary
Gage IS planning, 10 learn that these
notes will not get into public circulation

forbids the publication of q fac smile
of Treasury note IN a newspaper, II
will be a year or more before the new
designs will become public property ex-
cent as they are described in the news
columns of the papers. The reason for
this lies in the fact that the new notes
must season before they are put in circu-
loton. After the designs nave been drawn
and approved: after the chgIayings have
been made and transferred 20 the roll
ers and thence TO the plates; after the
sheets of special paper have been printed
and numbered and adorned with the seal,
and cut into four pieces, each an indi-
vidual bill--after all this slow process.
the notes must still Ne In the Treasury
vault for year before they will be fit
to circulate.
ono of the most serious criticisms or
the last notes OF new design issued from
the Treasury was that the ink on them
spread-that they smudged after being
handled for a time This defect was due
to haste in getting out the notes. The
Treasury Department WAS SO proud OF
the new designs that II wanted 10 get

SECOND AND BROAD. JULIUS SYCLE & SON.

John r. Brown, in whom the govern
ment reposos It's trust for the safety Of
nearly a million dollars a day Is a clerk
al a salary Of 1920 a year. lie has held
the position since November /, 1894 The
government docs not regulate salaries
by the amount OF an employees respOn-
sibility but assumes that its clerks are
going 10 be honest without being paid
for 20. John n. Browns father was n
trusted cmplOye Of the Treasurer for ton
years prior 10 his death in 1871, and the
son has been employed by the Treasury
since lS12. The predecessor of John r.
Brown was John +. Barnes. Tie began
the work Of packing ana sealing bundles
Of paper currency i'm 1852. lie died Octo-
Der IL. 1894. ana during the long period
of his faithful service he made up and
sealed all the package Of United States
paper currency which were printed ex-
ccpt when he was absent on leave or
from i!li ess.
In that time he handled probably
$1,000 100000.
His aggregate salary during tho period
was a little more than $4,000.
Yet when the last Of the bills packed
by John r. Barnes was taken from the
reserve vhults not a dollar was charg-
able to his account for error or dishon-
esty. John r. Barnes was not only
faithful 10 his trust but proud Of f. ~,
know that every man or woman or child
who handled the governments currency
had that privilege second 10 him. He
knew that no other man in the United
States handled so much money as he ev-
cry day. lie knew that he was trusted
as few men are.
For the honesty OF John r. Barnes.
the Treasurer of the United States gave
bond. For the honesty Of his successor.
John II. Brown. Treasurer Roberts has
given a bond TO the government. The
bond Of the Treasurer is for 100000 and
bis sureties are held by 1t perpetually.
II anyone in the Office of the Treasurer
should be dishonest and should steal the
governments money, Mr.. Roberts and
his bondsmen would have TO make good
the amount unless Congress was willing
To relieve them OF the responsibility.
Probably John Il. Brown and Treasurer
Roberts have never met; but Mr.. Roberts
is Browns guarantor to the government
in the amount which he handles for the
Treasury million dollars a day.
