SENATOR STEWART went after Sec
retarv Cages financial logic rough
shod when he said in the senate the
other day 1.-THE secretary of the treas
ury is not so absolutely ignorant of
money science "a his contention that
the value of gold never changes
would seem To indicate. In his reply
TO the resolution of the two houses of
congress respecting his transactions
with certain New York banks he gives
for 4 reason for depositing the money
of the government in national banks
that it is neces sary to do so to avoid
contracting the circulation. and that
to keep it in the treasury would dis
turb the business of the country. 1t
seems a little strange that the secre-
tary can understand that locking up
money in the treasury vaults disturbs
business and at the same time thinks it
j. necessary to use only the commodity
gold upon which to stamp money,
although every foreign financial trou-
bic takes gold out of the country and
deposits it in foreign vaults. In
his lectures on gold, the >ecre-
tary claims that it possesses in
trinsic value, while in administer
ing the treasury he regards the
volume of money in circulation as of
paramount importance and deposits
the surplus OF the treasury in banks
to keep it in use and prevent con-
traction. 1t is passing strange that
business men shape their transactions
in view of the probable supply of
money. but when they discuss the
money question they follow the ex-
