1t is frequently asked why we need
any new money when there is so
much lying idle.
The answer is that much Of the
money now idle has been withdrawn
from use because it was more profita-
BILE to hold it than to putt into trade.
But, WhyS' it is asked. Because the
supply of money has been limited by
law, while the supply Of other things
has been left to the individual judg-
ment.
AS result, the quantity of COM
modities has increased more rapidly
than the quantity of money. In short,
money has been made comparatively
scarce by law, while other things
have not.
Consequently, the money has been
rising in value, while the other things
have been falling. Obviously, it is
more profitable for a man to hold
money that is going up than to in
vest in property thatis going down.
II all the money now lying idle in
the country were to be thrown into
circulation, the Immediate effect
would be to send prices upward.
This would stimulate production,
and if the supply of money were not
increased SO as to keep pace with the
production of other things, prices
would soon begin to fall again, profits
would diminish and money would be
withdrawn from business
When silver was generally demone-
tized in Europe and America the
supply of new money was greatly re-
duced, while population and business
steadily increased.
The result was heavy fall of prices
and business depression, which, SUBJ
Ject to only brief periods of business
revival, have continued until this
day.
Unfortunately, such revivals have
haa the effect of binding the judg-
ment of many well meaning men with
reference to the money Question:

GEN. RossER's UNIFORM.
In a Flannel Shirt, Shoulder straps
and n String Around His Hat,
He Rides n Mule.

Among the Virginians who have re-
Gently visited Washington there has
been no more striking figure and none
on whom more eyes were turned in adj
miring gaze than the stalwart form
and sunburned, swarthy countenance
of Gen. Thomas L. Rosser, says the
Richmond (Va.) Times. A newly APP
pointed officer asked Rosser where he
was going to have his uniforms made.
"They will cost you lot of money"
said he. II have had six suits made and
they cost me $780,"

ga flannel shirt which 1 can buy here
anywhere on the avenue; a pair of
shoulder straps, and string OF piece
of braid around my hat to designate
that am an officer.
"You will have to get q fnc horse,
general" continued the interlocutor.
."Gen. Butler has had $500 black stall
lion presented to him, and other gen
erals have secured fine horses
WELL" replied Rosser, 81 have some
good stock down on my farm; but from
what can learn horse will not be the
suitable thing in Cuba; / think a mule
will be best, and it is my expectation
to ride mule"
1t may be that this confederate vet
eran with his flannel shirt and string
around his hat, bestriding mule, will
not be exactly in trim to court an

This war promises to hold the pre-
niumfor daring exploits. Ensign Cald-
well, Of Admiral Dewey's feet, was to
take steam launch up river empty
ing into Manila bay, and in the dark
ness of night afix a torpedo to Spanish
torpedo boats secreted there and leave
the rest to a kind Providence. But the
spaniards suspected such an attempt
and sank q ship across the rivers
mouth, bottling up their torpedo boats
and preventing an attack. Caldwell
had the spirit of l1obson, or of Cushing
when he made his dash upon the Abe
marie. And the American navy is full
of such men, waiting for their oppor-
tunities.

A Good Investment.

The first issue of $500, 100000 of gov
eminent bonds seems likely to be over
subscribed, five times over at least. The
subscriptions already in amount to
nearly $9oo,ooo,oOo, and the books are
open until after the 14th of July. Those
who subscribe early will get the bonds
at par. They are sure to be worth sew
era1 per cent. more than this within q
year. 1t is estimated that 101 and per-
haps 1o2 could have been got for them
If they were left to open bidding. But
what is called open bidding is now SO
controlled by syndicates that the small
capitalist has little chance to get a
bond. But to have the bonds taken by
half million more or less small hold
ers is perhaps enough better for the
government to warrant this loss. The
moral effect Of such popular subscrip-
ton is great. 1t was this spirit which
the French people showed after their
war with Germany, when the indemnity
money was paid by the mass of the peo-
pie, who took bonds in small amounts
for more than the large sum needed.

The recently enacted war tariff
places duty of ten cents per pound on
teas. In many cities there are now
stored large quantities of free teas
imported under the former tariff. In
a number of instances importers and
warehousemen have desired to bond
warehouses for the storage of i'm
ported teas without being required to
remove the free article now stored in
such premises. The regulations of the
treasury department forbid the use of
bonded warehouses for any other pur-
pose than the storage of imported
merchandise in bond. In view, how
ever, of the emergency and the expense
and annoyance which would be in
volved by the removal of free teas, the
secretary has consented to the bond
ing of warehouses, provided the free
teas now stored therein are kept en-
tirely separate from all other goods
and that they be removed therefrom
within six months, when the ware
houses are to be rebonded. The con-
cession applies only to teas.
