PLENTY OF MONEY.
Congressman Hepburn Sees No Need
of Financial LEGISLATION.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
Baltimore Sun has an interview with
Congressman Hepburn, which shows
that he has no idea there will be any
financial legislation next winter and
sees no need of any. The fact is" he
said, there is NO scarcity of curren-
cy. The stock of money in this coun-
try amounts to $2,695, 100000, of which
S225,0OO,OOO is gold. BY way of con.
trast recall that in 1861 the total
stock of money amounted to only S407,-
100000, of which but $500, 900, 900 was
gold, while the rest was seriously de-
preciated paper. None of our present
great stock of money is deprecated
or in anydanger of depreciation. In ad.
dition to this the volume of credit
money is immense.
THE idea that there is great draft
on New York for money to move crops
is not well founded. The producers of
the west have plenty of money for
their purpose, and large surplus in
the banks in Chicago and New York
where they can draw some interest
from it. Much of the stock moving is
on credit money. The only danger OF
a great drain of the banks in the east
would be if the producers of the west
should become distrustful and with.
draw their money rapidly through fear
of losing it. Then there might be a
serious situation, but it is not a thing
likely to occur
ITO illustrate how credit takes the
place of money in the moving of crops
during a prosperous period like the
present, Friday is shipping day in my
town. The farmers then assemble to
ship their products to market Last
Friday farmer came into the bank
for accommodation. He had no mon
ey and wanted some for the shipping
Of his stock. With an inventory of his
stock, the bank readily took his per.
sonal note as deposit, against which
he could draw checks, draft was pin
ned to the back of bill of lading and
sent through the bank to a bank in
New York, where the stock was to
be shipped. This is a $4,000
transaction, yet there was not more
tnan S1O0 in actual money withdrawn
from the bank. The farmer had s15,-
600 OF credit in the little home bank
and the bank had like. credit in New
York, where the actual money re-
NAMED"
On the subject of the Cuban tariff
Legislation at the extra session, Mr..
Hepburn said he thought there could
be little doubt of the necessary mea-
sure being passed.
"This measure he said, has been
so earnestly urged by the administra-
Ition the republicans will probably all
