Jones Drops a Tear.

The public Is much indebted to Jones,
s'the" Jones, Jones of Arkansas. When
ever political interest flags, and the
one-sidedness Of things puts a gag into
the mouths of Democrats who know
when something hits them, UP rises
Jones ITO remark" Jones Is always
clipper, always ''peart" as they say
down where the Joneses grow. He
cannot see prosperity anywhere, but he
sees certainties Of Democratic victories
written on the high heavens and re-
fiected in the dewdrops and peering up
at him from frog ponds. Jones is per-
ennial and communicative and fascin-
ating In his pursuit of the hope that
springs elusive. She cannot spring so
far that Jones does not clasp her to
his bosom.
Jones has been wandering up to
Minnesota, where the election of So
called Silver Republican as governor
last year shows him rainbow with q
pot of gold at the end of 1t. And Jones
tells the gathered faithful how things
are going and why. He is going to re-

Its effect Is to shut out corporations ef-

Il The INFINITE importance Of maintains
ing credit and the disastrous conse-
ouence d any shock to 1t appear in the
failure d the Lowell Arms Company.
Thin house has q history covering
more than half century. 1t seems
70 have been doing good business
and to have paid its ordinary bills az
promptly % other mercantile concerns.
But 4 had out q considerable amount
Of IT. paper. and was indebted heavily
10 tho Gibbs National bank that closed
its doors last week. The failure Of that
institution made II necessary to pro-
vide for this paper, and . sufficiently
heavy line OF credit could mot be es-
tabIished in other quarters to cover its
obligations at maturity.
This Is the ordinary sequence by
which. In times % panic. one institution
pulls another down. until concerns that
are thoroughly solvent. as the term -
understood in the business world, may
be obliged to liauidate. The present In
stance may or may not fall in that
category, but 1t illustrates the point.
An immense proportion Of the business
Of the world IL transacted by the use
Of credit. The suficiency or insufn-
cheney Of money volume has little to
do with 1t. Business operations are
carried on by credits obtained at one
season OF the year and discharged at
another. Let confidence be shaken. let
these credits be withdrawn and extern
sions or renewals denied. and 1t is like
shutting on the electric current from
motor. The wheels must cease to
revolve.
Not only houses that have engaged
In rash or unduly extended operations,
but those that have not passed the or
binary limit Of safety may suffer when
. period Of alsrm ana real distress
such - that which prevailed in 1853
appears. The Intelligent man has but
to glance at these phenomena to see
the comparative insignifcance Of
money volume, and the overwhelming
importance Of maintaining confidence
and sense Of security by preventing
impairment and contraction Of credits.

The Currency Bin in the Senate.

Inc Currency bill IN tne Sendro.
1t is the expectation Of Republican
leaders in the senate that the currency
bill prepared in committee can be pass
ed through that body within a month.
The unlimited freedom Of debate In the
upper house prevents any speedier
ection. The advocates of the bill will
not need more than two or three ex-
haustive speeches In which to set forth
its merits. But there 10 the other side
to be reckoned with. The torrent Of
speech with which Stewart and Jones
have been wont to inundate the senate
whenever financial questions were I'M
der debate may be mitigated somewhat
by the recent admissions of those gen.
tlemen that the issue has been closed
by the definite and wise decision Of the
American people. But the Democratic
free silver contingent will have it's
wordy way, and the automobile tongue
OF Allen. of Nebraska. will have to be
reckoned with. Assuming that, as is
probably true. there will be no filibus-
tering. the debate ought not to con-
sumo more than thirty days.
As has come to be the practice in all
matters Of great moment. the senate
viii not take up the house bill, but will
pass one Of its own and send it to con-
ference. The committee of the two
houses will then agree upon a compro-
mise. The two measures are sufficient
ly similar to make this an easy task
1t is expected that the house will in

establishment OF national banks with a
capital Of $4,000. This will extend
banking facilities under national laws

The senate. on the other hand, will
probably stand by its refunding pro-
vision. It would be sound financing II
the bulk of the existing debt could be
refunded at q lower interest rate. The
saving to the country in interest
charge and the provision of long
time bond. secure against disturbance,
as basis for bank note Issues, would
be double gain. But there should be
no mercy for the plan to make silver
certificates redeemable in gold, and
thus restore the endless chain whose
motion will be stopped by the plan for
redeemlng the legal tenders.
1t will be wise. we think. if the rec
concentrations of Controller Dawes for
an emergency circulation should be
considered apart and on their own
merits. The best policy is to separate
action on the financial question into
two sections, each embodied In sepa-
rate bill; the one containing only those
features that are familiar and on which
party and public opinion is substantial
ly unanimous. the other devoted to the
novel and the experimental. The plan
Of Mr.. Dawes falls within the latter
description.
1t has merit on it's face Elasticity
would be secured by the issue Of q GER
tain margin OF circulating notes on pay
ment Of a . per cent. tax. These would
be put out only when the demand for
