The Currency Question.

greenbaeks funded into interest bear
ing debt or redeemed and retired by
the use Of gold purchased with war
bonds or collected through war taxes.
Their scheme is to have the govern
ment stand as guarantOr for bank
notes to be Issued by them for their
own exclusive profit. They are bend
ing their energies to secure the cleo
ton Of a congress favorable to their
scheme. The banking houses through
out the country are eenters Of politi-
cal activity, each being duly advised
by secret circulars from the national
bankers association headquarters or
from the headquarters Of the Indian
apOlis monetary convention. Through
a subsidized press and subsidized poll
ticians on the rOstrum they are seek
ing 10 convince the people, first, that
money is sbuudant, and next, that but
little money is needed because of the
amount of money work performed by
bank checks, drafts, etc.
II is undeniably true that the use Of
the various instruments Of credit
dealt in by banks economies the use
Of money. When banks effect settle
q
ing house, the various checks and
other orders for the payment of money
drawn against banks that belong TO
the clearing house association are ex-
changed and only balances are paid in
money. But IL is also true that through
the means Of the clearing house sys-
tenn the same money is loaned and re-
deposited several times over until what
appears In the bank reports as deposits
has become a mere fiction of figures.
and the money supposed to be repre-
scented by the checks that pass be
tween business men exists only In the
Imagination. 1t is true that a certain
amount Of money work is being per
formed by these credit devices in the
performance of which it is proper to
style them phantom money"
This system brings enormous profits
to the banks and as they hold the notes
Of the business community that were
discounted for the purpose Of obtain
ing credits they possess the power to
ruin their custOmt rs whenever a de-
mand is made upon them for actual
cash in the payment OF their deposits
The experience Of 1893 Is fresh in the
minds of all, when the banks Of New
York suspended payment IN cash of
any kind and through a curtailmeat of
credit and forced collections caused
losses among their customers in excess
of 81, OOO, 900 ,OOO.-Silver Knight-Watch-

INDIA AND CANADA.
The Gold Standard IN These COun
tries-A Probable Run on the
Bank of England.

Canada cannot merely have gold
standard without a gold currency; she
can maintain her gold standard with
out any currency at all. She uses ad
ibitum United States currency; her
merchants keep bank accounts in New
York, Detroit and Chicago; one Of the
busiest and best banks in Chicago is
the Bank CT Montreal.
If India had gold standard com
munity, say, so times as wealthy as
herself, containing las four Is to
eighty, say, 6,OOO,OOO,OOO Of inhab-
itants, separated from India by an i'm
aginary frontier 5000 miles long, and
Cid India use the currency Of this vast
predominant partner" the argument
from analogy would be ineligible.
But if Canada had been saturated
with coined legal tender silver for a
hundred years; had she practically no
banks, and therefore no system Of pa
per credits; had one-half of all the
silver produced by the worlds mines,
after being coined, shaken down into
the boards Of her myriads; were those
boarding myriads only waiting for the
Importation and scattering Of gold
sOyereigns to convert a dePreciating
silver into an approaching gold cur
rency, then 1t is safe to say that Can
ada could only satisfy her ''auri sacra
flames" by the wholesale suspension Of
specie payments by other nations.
Let me put the argument in this
way: To give India a gold standard
means that any Indian with Is rupees
shall be able TO get a sovereign for
them on demand. IF be cannot get a
sovereign for Is rupees, but is obliged
to give 10 rupees, then gold is at a
premium. the standard is ineffective
and the exchanges huctuate as to-day.
Now, we have in al England less than
a hundred million sovereigns. and the
boards Of India have been reckoned to
contain 250 crOres Of rupees-that is,
2, 5OO, 1000, 600 OF rupees, or the equiva-
lent Of $4,000, 600 sOyereigns, at Is
rupees TO the sovereign. The govern
nent of India, by shaking confidence
in the existing currency Of India, by
declaring that she drifts 10 insolvency,
has done, and is doing. everything pos
sibIe to encourage a future run upon
our Bank of England reserves. The
government says to the native: you
have got rupee worth only ten pence
in silver I offer you in my new gold
currency, which is far more safe and
convenient for YOU to hoard. 16 pence
for what is only worth ten pence, and
presently likely TO be worth only six
pence" The natives viii indeed be
fools IF they fail to throw out rupees
and suck down the British sovereign
until there Is such a drain OF gold to
the east from the only market (OUrs)
which gives gold freely, as viii demon

The Silver men have been making
their plays with the object Of making

time the administration appeared to
be willing to aid them in bringing that
result about. But there has been q
change, and now the administration
has made plain it's purpose Of sticking
to the International Bimetallism Plank
Of the St. Louis platform, at the same
time d declaring lite intention to main
tain the present gold standard until In
ternational blmetalism is secured. Of
course, the silver men say that this is
merely an attempt to befuddle the is

by silver men, fred its first broad side
when it adopted the Teller resolution.
1t was at first intended that this reso.
luton must be defeated by vote Of
the House, and that action was taken
today. The silver republican Senators
have decided that the country must
have some explanation Of their support
of the Teller resolution. and they will
be given through speeches on the
floor OF the Senate. So a fresh food Of
financial oratory may be expected, as it
is not likely that the other side will
