currency question. That question was
greenbacks VS.. banknotes. What was
greenback? 1t says "the United
States will pay the bearer one dollar
The Supreme Court has decided that a
| dollar is a piece of metal of certain
weight and fineness. Accordingly, the
value Of the greenback rests upon the
fulfillment of the Governments prom
ise to pay this thing on demand If
the Government lacks either the means
or the inclination to fulfill this promise
its credit is impaired, all business
which depends upon it's credit is dis
turbed, and the greenback fails Of it's
first and chief attribute, that of an hon
est and safe medium of exchange. Mr..
White then sketched the several con-
vulsions of credit that took place be-
tween the years 1898 and 1896, all
growing out Of doubts whether the
Government could, if ii would, or would
If it could, continue to redeem its legal
tender notes on presentation. The vari-
Gus bond issues made for this purpose
amounted to S262, 600, 900. 1t was due
to good luck rather than to design that
the promise of redemption of the green
back was kept during those years. 1t
was good luck that we had an Admin
istration which was determined to rse
all it's powers TO that end. 1t was good
luck that there We're laws already on
the statute book which could be used
for that purpose, because the Congress
then in session refused to enact any.
In short, it depends upon politics
whether the greenback shall be re-
deemed or not. One political party is
opposed to redemption in gold. A third
party is opposed to redemption in any
thing The members of both these
parties are honest. Nobody doubts that
but by threatening to prevent the re-
demption Of the greenback in gold, or
perhaps in anything, they keep trade
and industry in hot water.
Mr. White showed that the amount Of
new bonds issued in the two years 1894
96, and the interest on them to their
maturity, was greater by S25O,0OO, 900
than the saving of interest on the
greenbacks from 1879, the year when
specie payments were resumed. The
cost of preparing, renewing and ham
ding the notes was one million dollars
per year additional. The loss to pri-
vate business arising from the uncer-
tainty which surrounds the redemption
of the greenbacks is a much larger but
an incalculable sum.
Mr.. White favors the bill recently
reported by the House Banking Com
mittee which, while not retiring the
greenbacks, puts upon the national
banks the onus of current redemption
of them, and gives the bank the priv
ilege Of issuing an equal amount Of
notes against their general assets. pro-
tected by common safety fund lodged
in the Treasury. This would furnish
all the money that the business Of the
country needs, and 1t would be fur
nished at the times and in the places
where 1t is needed, which the Govern
ment never can do, and which free coin
age of silver never can do.

speaker was H. p. Robinson of Chi
cago, editor of the Railway Age" He
contended strongly for the necessity
for maintaining the national honor by
paying off the obligations of the coun-
try in as good money as they were con-
| tracted.
| Louis r. Enrich Of Colorado Springs,
Colo, followed him to show that the
establishment of the gold standard was
| in harmony with evolution. Incident
ally he argued against the quantitive
| theory Of money.
Governor Leslie Shaw of Iowa made
an address which went deeply in inter-
est into the point Of the producer S
| views.
| II am gold monometallist," he
said, because the whole world has
agreed upon the gold standard, and
the law of commercial convenience,
which no Act of Parliament or Con-
gress can repeal, governs the whole
matter. The only logical argument I
can see for silver coinage is that is
would reduce wages practically one
half and thus enable us to compete
with foreign nations, but I would
rather have the American market than
that"
Several questions as to the ability of
| a debtor country to retain it's gold
| against foreign drafts, and having
to do with the quantitive theory of
| money, as laid down by well-known
| financial authorities, and also as to In
dian competition with the wheat pro-
ducer, We're propounded by ex-Con-
| gresham George Fred Williams Of
Boston.
General A. J. Warner of Ohio, Pres
ident Of the American Bimetallic
Union, contendend that the gold stand
ard had appreciated the dollar and
correspondence caused a general fall
of prices, doubling the debts Of the
country.
Congressman Fowler Of New Jersey
| replied to General Warner, and dem
| onstrated that wages had been in
creased numerically since 1910 and in
purchasing power under the gold
standard Besides, since Mr. McKin-
| ley's election, he said, the bank clear
ances of the country had increased
| from S43 900, 900, 0O0 to $65, ZOO, 600, 600
Charles A Towne of Duluth of the
Silver Republican silver party took
exception to Mr.. Fowler's logic that
the gold standard had produced stimuli
taneously an indefinite rise in wages
and fall of prices.

A survey was made last week of
the Cummings hill in WestfaIl with
a view to reducing the grade. 1t is
proposed to raise the county bridge
across the creek three feet, permis-
sion having been obtained to do so,
and straighten the road leading to
it by filling in small piece of ground
which has been bought of Cummings,
and to take eight feet off the top Of the
hill, beginning at point thirty feet
south of the school house. The
length of the grade will be about
425 feet and the rise about forty feet,
making a very easy grade. Every
one should encourage this improve
ment by rendering such aid, fnan-
cial or otherwise, as they may be able
to furnish. With this hill cut down
the road will be an ideal one for teams
and wheelmen. Let the same spirit
extend to other hills down the river,
and in fact in all localities, and we
may soon be very happy people, SO
far as good roads go.
