DOESNOT ExPECTlNFLATlON
Chairman Brosius Not Apprehsnsive of
Redundant Rank Currency.
He Says That the Country Needs q
Larger Ctrculatton--Checks ta
the New Financial Law.

In view of recently expressed ap?rehen-
sions TO the effect of certain features Of
the new financial law, the following state
ment has been made by Chairman Brusius
Of the House committee on banking and
currency and one of the House conferees
on the financial bill
THE apprehension expressed I'm many
quarters that under the banking features
of the financial bill recently passed there
will be some initiation, / do not doubt has
some ground 1t would be unfortunate il
there was not. for We need more currency.
| have no doubt that there will be a grad
ual increase I'm our circulation TO meet the
requirements of trade. 1t must be con-
sidered in connection with this subject that
there are three natural checks upon ex-
cessive issues of bank currency under the
law
First. it is to be noted that under the
operation OF redemption any considerable
imitation of bank notes would cause them
to be sent into the treasury for redemption
In large amounts, and the issuing banks
would have to put up the lawful money for
the purpose, which would deplete their re-
serves.
In the second place, any great demand
for bonds to exchange for the per cents
would advance the price beyond The limit
which would make it profitable to use them
for banking purposes in which case banks
would quite likely sell bonds to make the
ptuit iatHtr llldn take out circulation.
In the third place, the limit of S3Vs 600
month upon the retirement Of currency
Will make banks very cautions about taking
out more circulation than they will be able
to keep out profitably, for once out IL
might have to remain out for some time
before 1t could be retired.
These several checks will operate auto
matically to restrain excessive issues of
bank currency under the law. Ii NAV
be assumed that the 10 per cent authorized
to be issued on bonds already deposited
will be put out. That will not exceed in
amount S2i0oo.ooo in round numbers. which
is scarcely more than ] per cent Of the to-
tai volume of our circulation, and can do
no harm. 1t is impossible to make an ac-
curate forecast OF the amount of currency
that will be put out by the new banks that
VIII be organized. There is no good reason
to believe that It will exceed the existing
need in the south and west. where great
inconvenience has been suffered for lack
of additional bank currency"

Judge COwing's Pertinent Inquiry to

NEW YORK, March 21-Three petty
gambling cases were tried before Judge
Cowing and a jury in the New York court
of general sessions yesterday Two of the
defendants were acquitted, and the third
an Italian, who ran a penny gambling ma
chine in Harlem, was found guilty, but the
jury recommended mercy. Judge Cowing
fined him $2o, and then, raising his voice.
made this address:
1T seems to be the opinion of Jurors that
they should not convict in these cases. as
it appears to them, and very justly that 1t
is only the small fry that are arrested and
brought into court for trial. In every gam
bling case and also in every liquor tax case
brought into this court il is always some
poor foreigner, generally a woman with five
or six small children. or poor man who is
eking out bare living for a large family
and who has nothing behind him.
why don't you,' nodding at the police
man, ''go after the big fellows. who some
of the jurors apparently believe are making
thousands of dolars-yes millions of dol
larS-out of this vice?"

General. Whether this claimed power
would extend to authorizing the assem-
blage of an armed force at the voting
places was treated as a matter of doubt.
1t was admitted. however. that Judge
Evans might be able. within the color of
the law relied upon, to have the deputies
appointed on the morning Of election day;
in which case the matter could not reach
the Attorney General until the contest
at the polls was over.
Inasmuch as John w. Yerkes, Republic

Kentucky. was in Washington on Tues
day. the probability is strong that the
Administration was fully apprised OF the
design. and that, unless Judge Evans has
been misrepresented an attempt Will De
made to put il in operation. 1t is even
not impossible that the same trick may
be tried upon the voters Of other South
ern States.
We have remarked hitherto that the
plot does not surprise us in the least
There is ample evidence that the trust
campaign managers are MORALLY fright-
ened and ready to resort to any desper-
ate or even criminal means to seat their

to have been looking for some way by
which the electoral vote of Kentucky
could be stolen or thrown out on the
count IL necessary to Mr.. McKinley's cleo
ton. The plan now disclosed, if accom-
plished. would accomplish the result. The
purpose. of course. is to surround the
polls with mountain murderers and ban
dts, who, if they cannot intimidate the
Democrats of the State and thus prevent
them from voting, can make themselves
equally useful by raising riots and pre-
cipitating violence, upon which claim
might be founded that no legal election
had been held.
The right Of suffrage in the United
States is dead and will be buried next
Tuesday if such an outrage as the plot to
steal the electoral vote of Kentucky is
allowed to succeed. We have little doubt
that the attempt will be made. The party
which stole the Presidential election OF
1876, which procured the murder OF Gov
ernor Goebel to keep itself in power in
Kentucky, and protects and lauds his as
sassins, and which tramples the Const-
tuition under foot whenever ordered to do
SO by its masters, the trusts is not any
too good to commit the crime now alleged
to be in preparation. There is all the
greater necessity that the people every
where should vote as their duty dictates
and thus render the Kentucky outrage
abortive, even II it should be locally sue
