PRACTICE on BANKS.

or the money of the country, about
two-thirds was now in the pockets of
the people, used in the current exchanges;
the rest was in the banks, and furnished
the basis of credit. 1t was the costom
of banks to loan to their customers, on
the average, about five.times as much
money as they had, the loans being
turned into depositors' accounts, there
fore, depended upon the amount of loans
made by the bank, and the amount of
laons depended upon the money the bank
had. Country banks were required to
keep reserve OF l5 per cent of their de-
posits in cash; banks in reserve cities
were compelled to keep % per cent As
suming, therefore, that the banks of the
country had today loaned out as much
money as they could upon their present
reserve of cash, it is possible to under
stand how they could loan out more
money as business and population increa-
,ed without an increase in cash. An in
crease of cash in the banks would en-
able them to loan more money: dim
mutton of cash in the banks would cause
them to loan less money. A contraction
of bank loans ment a contraction of bank
deposits. anda contraction of bank de-
posiis meant contraction of bank
checks, so there was no intimate mathe-
matical relation between the cash on the
one hand and the bank loans, bank de-
posits and aggrate of bank checks on the
other
Because the nature of the use ofmoney
had changed it did not follow that there
WAS need OF less money. II is true that
the proportion of cash transaction to
check transactions is not SO great as it
was formerly in this country, and it is
not SO great as in other countries where
the cash system prevails, but the credit
system means a multiplicity of exchang-
es, and increased bank credits must
involve increace1 cash reserves.

products, started out in search for gold
The result has been tremendous in

product today being nearly treble the

yer demonstration commenced
THE CLAIM OF THE BrMETALrsTs
The increased production of metallic
money had relieved the situation and
proved the contention of bimetalists
as to the quantitatiye theory. All that in
teligent bimetalists claimed was that the
world needed more money; that all the
gold and all the silver thus far produced
had not been sufficient to meet the
worlds demand for money; that the
world was more likely to get a sufficient
supply from two sources than from one;
that the vital question was sufficient
supply; that the rise in prices and the
increase of prosperity consequent upon
the larger production OF gold during the
last two years and the increased
prosperity in this country consequent
upon the larger production to its money
volume of nearly three hundred millions,
obtained by favorable balance of trade,
have proved the contention of the bimet-
allists and vindicated their theory.
BASIC MONEY CONTACTED.
The vice of the proposed action was,
Mr.. Newlands claimed, that the Repub-
lican party now proposes to take advan
tage of the increasing production of gold
for the elimination of the existing stock
of silver in this country from use. The
metallic stock of the country consists of
about nine hundred millions of gold and
six hundred millions of silver, fifteen
hundred millions in all. This is only
basic money, the only money of final re-
demption.
1t is true that there are greenbacks and
national bank notes in existiance, but
these are merely promissory notss paya-
BILE in metallic money; issued either by
the government or the banks. While
they aid in the exchanges they form no
part of the money of the country; on the
contrary, they themselves are redeema-
bic in money. The metallic money need
ed no redemption; gold needed no re
demption; silver needed no redemption
but the purpose of the dominant party
was to make the six hundred millions OF
silver redeemable in gold by the treas
ury. 1t was true that they used the term
exchange" that is to say, the treasury
was to exchange gold for silver, but If
gold was to be given for silver, clearly
silver would turn into debt redeemable
in gold and thus become libility of the
treasury. BY this process the basic
money OF the country was to be con-
tracted from fifteen hundred millions to
nine hundred millions, and unless relief
was given in some other way the contrac-
ton would be disastrous.

The .absuriity cf. the explanation offered
by the Alger Relief Commission that Dr.
Daily and others had mistaken the Powell
experiment beef for the commissary ra-
tion is apparent after such testimony as
this. It is soObsurd that no One will be-
lieve the Aiger Commission was sincere In
Offering it.
What General Miles was most bitterly
censured for by the Algerians and the
thing which inspired Eagan's outbreak was
Miles suggestion that the beef had been
treated by chemicals. II has been shown
that he was right, and that in Florida. and
without the knowledge of General Miles,
an Armour agent admitted the Use OF pre-
servatiyes. The agent has appeared be-
fore the Court and positively denied that
he ever made such an admission. con ra-
dieting Lieutenant CAMPER and Captain
Carmichael. Now comes DR.. Castle with
the statement that the same agsnt. at an
other time. explained the discoiorat.cns OF
the meat by saying they were the effect
of the chemicals with which the meat was
treated. There cannot remain the least
doubt of the fact after this unexpected
confirmation of previous testimony.
AS far as the public is concerned. the
proofs are sufficient. and it only rema rs
to place the responsibility more definitely
and to discover the exact motive in the
purchase of such beef.

Evidence That Clinches.

The public attention should be directed
especially to the testimony of DIR. Charles
II. Castle, who was in charge of the bri-
gade hospital at Lakeland, Fla. There can
be no question as to the opinion the people
have reached on the bad beef subject.
That the charges Of General Miles have
been proved to be strictly true is the firm
conviction of everybody who has read the
evidence taken by the Court Of Enquiry.
The statements Of DIR. Castle are in line
with those of other witnesses. and they
reveal nothing new, but there are two
features which deserve to be noted. He
clinches the nails driven in by others.

about bad beef from other brigades. He
did not know of any complaints. He did
no. have his attention called to the SUBJ
Sect by anybody. He discovered for him.
self that the refrigerator beef served to
his brigade was. unfit for food. Repeated
examinations led him to write to the chief
cornmissary at Tampa last August pro-
testing against the meat and requesting
permission to buy beef in the market.

How France suffers.

What was intended as a vindication Of
the court that convicted Captain Dreyfus-
the publication of the testimony on which
the verdict was based-has resulted in con-
vincing all impartial, and, also many preju-
diced, minds that whether the accused was
guilty or innocent he did not have fair
trial. The evidence is not enough to war
rant the finding of the court, and the
obtrusive fact that he was allowed no op-
portunity to make a defence. and that doc
uments were admitted In violation of the
fundamental rules of judicial proceedings.
has shocked and disgusted decent people.
Up to this time the enemies Of Dreyfus
have been Indifferent to the impression the
case has made on foreigners. They have
rallied against foreign newspapers for ex-
pressing indignation at the treatment OF
the prisoner. but only as an impertsnence
and not as having any effect on the fu-
ture of the case. Suddenly. however.
France discovers that it may not he wiss
to carry prejudice and race hatred and the
idolatry of the army so far as TO forfeit
all the respect of other countries. 1t is
not comfortable or safe for power no
stronger than France to stand alone in
Europe, scorned and Stunned by all man
kind.
What the French people welcomed as the
greatest achievement Of her recent history
was the alliance with Russia. II was not
very intimate alliance, but it was ac-
complished only after the most strenuous
exertions. and the most has been made of
it, There was cause to hope that in an
emergency il might become closer rela-
tionship. Now. the Russian newspapers.
rejecting the sentiments of the govern
ment are very severe in denouncing the
injustice toward Dreyfus. They express
unqualified disgust and declare that unless
the prisoner is allowed a perfectly fair
trial, in which all the evidence shall be
submitted to him, France will have proved
, that she is unfit to govern herself and is
in need of a monarch This touches the
raw. 1t is alarming. Russia has little to
gain from the alliance. and it is only a
kindly feeling toward France that induced
| her to enter into il. Therefore IL Russia S
| respect is lost the unjust nation stands
alone, for the contempt is general. af-
1 facting all the other countries Of Europe.
1t is affirmed. too. that the feeling is so
strong not only among the Hebrews. who
have such a powerful hold on the world s
business. but also among all people who
believe in justice and are repealed by high
handed tyranny. that the coming Paris Ex-
position will be seriously affected. Estab-
| lishments1 that would be represented in
| ordinary circumstances and people who
| would visit Paris during the exhibition
will have nothing 10 do with it. 1t is such
practical consequences OF notorious wrong
that will do most to insure a fair trial for
| Captain Dreyfus. France may not care
| about justice. but she does care about her
| self-intereSts.

The tragedy at Pana. in which seven
persons were shot dead and nine wounded
is a vindication of the wisdom of Governor
Tanners course last year in excluding from
the State the convict miners from the
South. One of the negro ex-convicts
brought to Pana to take the place of the
striking miners. wantOnly shot at the
sheriff, whom he had threatened to kill.
and then started in to shoot as many per-
sons as possible. 1t was with sense Of
the danger of such crimes that Governor
Tanner refused to allow the Virden Com
pany to fill its mines with this class of

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.
Plans of the Norfolk and Western
and the Illinois Central.

Knoxville Tenn, April 1.-THE largest
railroad consolidation in this section since
the organization of the Southern Railway
is expected TO be announced soon. The
reads interested are the Norfolk and West
ern on the east and the Illinois Central on
the west. Between. these two lie num-
ber of small roads which are gradually
being developed and extended. Norfolk
and Western has long wished entrance in
to this city and south to Atlanta, while
the Illinois Central is also seeking an enc
trance into this section. The Tennessee
Central. now in process OF construction.
is said on good authority. to be backed
by capital furnished by men connected
with the Illinois Central management.
Three or four corps of engineers are locat-
ing further extensions which it is proposed
to continue to Peryville. where 1t will con-
meet with the Tennessee Midland. The
eastern connection will come from Harri-
man to Knoxville. paraileling branch OF
the Southern Railway now running to that
point. At Hartman the Tennessee Central
connects with the Cincinnati Southern.
At Bristol four small railroads have re-
Gently been combined. and are now being
operated as the Virginia and Southwest
ern These connect with the Norfolk and
Western Railroad. The Knoxville and Bris-
tol Road, about eighty miles long. running
between Tazewell Junction and Norris
town is to be extended to Bristol on the
east and to Knoxville in the ether direc-
tion. This will give the Norfolk and West
ern the desired entrance and terminal ia
cilities in Knoxville. Another connection
will be made with the Tennessee Central
for the West. and it is stated arrangements
have been perfected for the use of the At
lanta. Knoxville and Northern Railway to
Marietta Ga. The latter road is now or
ganizing surveying parties to locate a route
for direct communication with Atlanta.

The insult of Governor Roosevelt to the
Good Government Clubs was gratuitous.
There is a flavor of ingratitude about it
that does him no credit. The Goo Coos
as he calls them were the first to support
him for governor and they have asked no
reward of office. They have demanded
nothing except good government. why he
should assert that their support is an in
jury to him We may guess. 1t gives to the
machine men the impression that he is not
thoroughly in with Platt.
