THE TREASURY, THE BANKS
AND THE PUBLIC.

Whether the national banks
should be required to pay inter
est on public moneys deposited
with them is question entitled
to serious consideration. But a
proper answer will not be facil-
-itated by denunciation of the
banks for Directing to the re-
quirement of interest, nor by
the superfiuous informations
given by The Chicago Tribune
that the banks exist for the ben
eft of the Government, and
that the Government does not
exist for the banks.
1t is frequently and very err
roneously assumed that banks
are sufferers from a monetary
stringency. Many people sup
pose it is Wall street, or the
spectators, or the banks as a
whole, that clamor for relief,
and when relief is given by the
Treasury it is too often said
that the Secretary is helping
, Wall street. When money is
hard to get and rates are high
it is not the money lenders who
, suffer; it is the money borrow
Aers. OF these the speculative
dement, is only a part. The
greater part consists of the
merchants and manufacturers
and business men generally
through the country Last Sep
TENDER the national banks in
more than three-quarters of the
reserve cities of the country
had less than their statutory re-
serves because the demand foI
money was so general. The
banks loaned their credit and
sent money West till they
could get no more, and the suf-
fering was on the part of the
business men, who had Difficult
ty in getting money even al
high rates.
Public funds are deposited
in the banks so that the banks
can accommodate their custom
ers. There is a large amount
of money in the Treasury all
the time, and when the business
community especially needs
money the Treasury tries to get
some of its idle funds back into
circulation. The banks have
to deposit Government bonds tC
secure deposits of public money
1t has been proposed, not in the
interest of the banks, but of the
community, that the Treasury
should accept other than Gov
erment bonds as security, but
that the banks should pay in.
terest on the deposits. There
is not so much profit in buying
bonds to put up as security foI
deposits as may appear. The
banks can lend their money
direct instead of investing it in
bonds. But there would not
be so much money in circula
tion, because the Treasury funds
would be lying idle.
The banks are not begging

Emeralds and Pearls.

Pearls and emeralds have become 50
scarce that precious stone dealers are
sources to satisfy the demand. This condi-
| ton of the market has been coming on
gradually, until now IS it an important
| feature in the buying and selling OF tie
stones. 1t is not so much the result Of an
increased demand, although pearls are
becoming more popular each year, as on
account of a falling off in the worlds
supply of gems.
The decrease in the worlds output Of
cmcraldS during the past few years has
been such as to cause grave alarm among
the most conservative of precious stone
dealers in New York and London. Unless
new mines are discovered soon it is not
unlikely that cmcralGS will become the
rarest precious stones in the world. AS
are worth in stones larger than five
carats from two TO ten times as much as
first water diamonds. Several stones now
in the hands of New York dealers are
worth from $4,000 to $l00W apiece, While
| they range from ten to thirty carats in
| size, and are not free from imperfcctinns
In spite of the fact that emeraldS were
| among the earliest stones mined by the
ancitnes, and have since been discovered
| in different parts of the Globe, there is
practically but one country in the world
| q profit And even the mines there are
not considered valuable enough to merit
an expenditure of money for improve
mcnts and more modern machinery and
are still being worked by the same crude
method that was employed almost a cen
| fury ago.
cralds have been discovered in Russia, on
the Asiatic slope of the UraI Mountains;
in Austria. Australia, and in North Caro-
| lima. Mines were opened at all theS1
| places and companies formed to work
thcm, but in a short time they were aban-
