AN ELASTIC CURRENCY.

II seems worth while to ask what men really
mean when they assert that an elastic cur
rency has become absolutely necessary to the
country. They mean some kind of currency
which the country has not enjoyed during the
past years of wonderful progress. How can 1t
he absolutely necessary now If the wholly I'M
paralleed progress and prosperity Of 1895 were
obtainabe without it? In what sense can It
be called absolutely necessary to have a differ
ent currency from that under which the then
unmatched prosperity of 1892 was attained
prosperity which might have continued with
National policy had not brought arrest to i'm
portant Industries and alarm to all fnan-
cial centres. Surely 1t seems n remarkably
gratuious assumption that the currency which
served so well until President Cleveland came
H. and has served so grandly since he went
ont, has become one which 1t is absolutely
necessary to change at once.
What do people mean by an elastic currency?
Their own reasoning is that It should be one
capable Of indefinite increase with the eXpan-
sion Of business at various times. and capable
also Of automatic retirement and contraction
when shrinking volume Of business leaves
part no longer needed. But the cold fact is
$4,000 100000 Of It was placed In circulation
and actually redeemed in the year 1898. The
checks. drafts notes and bills Of exchange
which men issue in the discharge of ordinary
business. and which go from bank to bank. and
from city to city. passing through few hands
or many as convenience may dictate consti-
tute n circulation which Is created by business.
Is constantly increased with its expansion and
diminished with IT'S shrnkage, and which Is
automatically redeemed with the least possible
risk OF loss The failures OF all kinds In 1898
covered something like $140,0O0,OO0 In amount
OF all liabilities, and probably not more than
half as much In the forms Of commercial obi
cation which pass into circulation. because the
record OF commercial defaults includes all mort
gage and other bonded debts II out Of 500,
OOO.OOO.OO0 circulated less than $140,OO0,000
failed to meet instant payment on demand. can
a safer circulation be found?
II is only ignorance which leads many TO ex-
clude from their reckoning Of actual clrcula-
don those forms Of money which business Gre
ates for itself For these perform, in fact,
great part Of the settlements really made.
Through them Is transacted DOW many times
the amount of business that Is transacted

ernment notes and bank notes. The people

THE PHILIPPINE PROCLAMATION

The latest contribution 10 the controversy over
the Philippines Is authoritative and should he
conclusive. The Presidents proclamation to the
islanders. framed in the form of letter OF in
structions General Otis. has Mt once the force
of logic and the weight Of final command.
The brief recapitnlation of facts of record with
which IL is prefaced, and the conclusions de-
rived therefrOm should serve TO persuade all
who can understand plain language of the pro-
priety of such control as the United States
Government proposes 10 exert over the arch-
pelapo and the source from which the dOcu
ment proceeds should he ample assurance OF
the validity Of it's instructions and the good
faith Of It's promises.
To help not TO HARM is the programme. Gen
eral Otis is 10 make 1t known 10 the inhabitants
that he and his comrades come not as invaders
nor as conQuerors in the usual sense OF those
terms but as friends 10 rid the people Of mis-
government. to protect them in the enjoyment
OF their rights and TO promote their general
welfare Such assurance is especially called for
iu the Philippines. because the people of those
islands have been accustomed 10 think of white
men as nothing but conquerors and oppressors
Such has been their experience with the span
isb and they have had hitherto no knowledge
of any other treatment 1t will be revelation
10 them that there are powerful. civilized white
nations that are not tyrannical, but that can
and will treat a weaker people with justice and
kindness.
More than that The President makes 1t
plain that the existing customs and laws OF the
Fillpinos are 10 he maintained as far as Ia com
patible with civilized sovereignty, and that the
largest possible degree OF self government is 10
be accorded TO them in respect to the personality
OF the Office holders. The administrative work
of the islands Is TO be done by natives. as far
Is practicable. That is wise provision. 1t is
exactly in line with the system adopted by LORD
Cromer In Egypt. Of which we made mention
the other day, and which in Egypt has proved
peculiarly benefcent In such countries there
are many men who are entirely capable so long
as they are working under expert direction. but
are quite Incapable Of taking the initiative and
assuming supreme responsibility. They will be
found ut Manila as we'll as at Cairo and the
employment Of them will not only make the adj
ministrntlon Of the islands less expensive and
less burdcnsome TO US. but II will also command
In the Presidents words the confidence re-
"spect and affection of the inhabitants OF the
"PhilIppines' in the highest possible degree.

land, for the greatest good Of the governed,
