THE PANIC AND THE CURRENCY.

Were the gold standard bill that and moth
Ing more there would be no connection OF It
with the recent disasters in speculation. But
part Of the bill has been framed with a desire
to meet the wishes Of those who want q larger
note circulation, n more elastic currency, and
one Of which the increase and decrease may de-
pend upon the banks. Now it Is not at all diff
cult to see that when the wild revel OF COM
pany creation was In progress, and afterward
when the public absorption Of new securities
taken for distribution by underwriters and pro-
moters and banking institutions was 80 delayed
MS to cause embarrassment there would have
been expansion Of the currency even to the limit
had such provisions been operative as law. It
Is some months since the banks represented the
situation as so critical, because the currency was
not elastic" enough, that they appealed to the
Treasury to give them relief" Evidently It
would have seemed TO them proper time to ex-
pand circulation as far as they well could.
That the modest provisions for expansion
which are embodied in the bill that passed the
House on Monday would have done Immense
harm, II then In force as law, It Is by no means
intended to imply. Perhaps the precautions
against evil would have sufficed, but the pur-
pose here Is to call attention to the exact nature
OF the thing called IAN elastic currency" II 1t
were what some sound and conservative bank
ers mean by the phrase 1t would be entirely
safe. But not all bankers are sound and con-
sentative; IL all were there would be less trouble
in Wall Street over excessive capitalization and
excessive speculation If 1t were provided that
expansion Of banks should be regulated by a
central body like clearing house association
there would be some safeguard In the proba-
bility that conservative men would control the
association; but the very idea Of an elastic cur
rency." as most persons understand II who
urge its adoption, is that each bank should be
enabled in some degree to answer the needs Of
its OWL customers The needs of those banks
whose customers were underwriters and pro-
moters and leading spectators in the Industrial
and street railroad performances have been
great.
1t Is probable that all the expansion Of currency
that the law permitted would have been eagerly
embraced as a relief when the banks were ap-
pealing to the Treasury most unfortunately But
surely no one will consider, in the light of recent
events that further expansion at that time and
under the circumstances then existing would
have been beneficial. It would only have in

Just at Its height. In part Mr. Stine
says: "Between here clos Angeles)

fruit farms and market gardens,
where now they have all the fresh
vegetables we havo in June. The
markets are all supplied with straw
berries and raspberries.
."Oats and barley are up about
four inches and this morning

to haul in, and another field moved
ready to rake. The farmers are also
plowing. With from two to four
hourses hitched to plow they turn
from four to six furrows, the driver
standing on the plow. Another
queer thing is that the farmers here
hitch n drang to two wheeled wag-
on, sitting on the wagon to drive the
team instead of walking.
