AN UNHEALTHY CONDITION.

Henry Clews and other financial
reporters have based their ideas Of
prosperity chiefly upon the amount Of
money that accumulates in Wall
street, making money @easy" in that
city, and the loans that are made
through the banks Of New York. But
such conclusions are erroneous. The
congestion OF money ut any one point
does not make prosperity It's diffu-
sion through loans does not make per-
manent prosperity, for it mems it's
ultimate return with it's increment.
Prosperity is contingent upon the
natural circulation Of money through
the channels of trade and commerce.
Just now money is accommodating in
New York in great volume, deposits
having reached the sum of S722, 4S4,-
200, with cash reserves in the banks
exceeding S2lGO0O,OOO. And these
vast sums are over and above out
standing loans averaging S625. $685.
700 whose interest is flowing into
the banks of that city III a constant
stream.
With the exception of very
small issue of bank notes, and the
gold product of our mines. there has
been no increase in the volume of
our money since the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchasing act in
1893. In addition to the consump-
ton of gold in the arts, which cam
not be accurately determined, the
government vaults contain more than
800, 100000 in excess OF what they
did in 1893, such money being out of
circulation. One hundred millions i'm
gold exports have been lost to the
country since 1893. In the face of
these facts, the rapid flow of money
into one financial center must be
viewed with alarm. 1t means that
under the gold standard, which makes
such movement possible, prosperity
can come to the country only through
the redistribution OF the money accu-
mulatIng in the New York banks.
And this distribution can he accom-
plished Gully through the mediums of
loans, and system Of mortgaging of
values that will in turn precipitate an
other panic when the money power
again decides to convert the United
States into a clearing house, as it did
in lS93.-Western Mining World.

THE SUFFER- ISLAND ROAD.
SUPERVISORS WILL GO DOWN
AND INSPECT 1T.
County Will Combine in a Pump
ing Plant With Elk Grove
School District.

The Board Of Supervisors met in ad-
journed session yesterday morning,
Supervisors Dreman, Jenkins, Curtis
and Mclaughlin being present, and
Dreman in the chair.
George Foulks appeared before the
board on behalf of Elk Grove School
District and made a proposition that 1t
combine with the board in putting up
a windmill, pump and tank which would
irrigate the trees and plants in the
school yard and have trough and sup
ply for sprinkling the roads. The pres
ent plant belonging to the county IS at
Old Elk Grove and those who sprinkle
the two districts that join there take
water for both districts and very often
find the supply for sprinkling.
Supervisor Jenkins explained the ad-
vantages that would accrue to the
county if it accepts the proposition and
pays half the expense, about S200 1T
would save the county expense in the
end. He moved that the board accept
the proposition and it was unanimously
SO ordered
Supervisor Jenkins reported that the
bridge he had been instructed to build
near the Rhoads PLACE was about COM
pleted, being constructed of lumber on
hand and 81 feet long.
Supervisor Jenkins said that the
members of the board had consulted
on the matter of sprinkling the county
roads and had decided to advertise for
bids. He moved that it be done at the
next regular meeting. So ordered.
Henry Elliott stated that the ROAD
on Sutter Island is not yet completed
and the trustees wish County Surveyor
Boyd to oversee the work of grading it,
which he has consented to do. He ap
peared before the board to ask that it
grant the district the use of a road
grader and when it is finished he wished
the board to come down and inspect it,
with the purpose of accepting it if found
satisfactory.
He was given an order for a grader
and the board will go down on the 29tn
instant
The board then adjourned.
