SOME CURRENT AFFAIRS.

Tho Indianapolis Sentinel calls attention
to the fact that all indications now are that
the currency reformers" will concentrate
their efforts on getting as many favors as
possible for the banks. and giving them
complete control OF the currency of the coun-
try. 1t is said that several members OF tho
congressional committee are already CON
WINGED that tho country must have some
means OF currency expansion TO mest the
growth OF business beyond the direct importa-
ton OF gold. and that when the alternative is
presented between greeuback imitation and
we'll secured bank note currency, the choice
must be made In favor OF the latter. II Is
also announced, as a sort OF bugaboo TO scare
the country into favorable reception OF the
bank note currency scheme, that the con
dtions at the treasury make 1t more evident
every day that there may be period OF
Etrlngenoy this autumn ana perhaps q more
intense one In another year. II some elasticity
ia not given the medium Of exchange" II
does not occur TO those who make this claim
that they have been telling how the country
was fairly surieited With currency, and that
In fact our circulation per capita Is Tar
greater than II has ever been in the past, The
two stories do not hold together very we'll,
II We have more currency than we know
what TO do with there can not be any serious
danger OF stringency But further than this.
" there is any elasticity" under a bank note
system Il Is entirely under control OF the
hanks that issue the notes. and they can
expand or contract the volume OF currency
at will, Elasticity is something that works
both ways. and the power TO do that so far
as currency is concerned, 10 dangerous tang

The Erowth OF American industry Is well
illustrated by the statistics OF imports and
axnorts Of iron and steel
In 1880 the imports were s7l, e66 6ee and ex-
ports sH.7iss24. IN 1898 the Imports were
4si, while the exports were SO 400. SIS.
II thus appears that in this business d.
nestle products have not only driven Ave
sixths OF tho foreign trade out OF the homo
market, but are finding their way into for
elEn countries In such force as to endanger
old world manufactures in their own strong
holds. The Increase In the fiscal year ending
June so, 1898 over 1897 in exports was nearly
Is per cent aud that Notwithstanding the war
which began In April. Such figures are
substantial encouragement. Business Is
steadily proceeding in spite OF obstacles,
American energy Is equal to every emerssncy.
