A New Monetary Plan.

A New York banker-"fate tried to
conceal him by naming him Smith,
comes forward with plan for a new
monetary system for the country. He
was in Washington, last week, urging
the President to appoint commission
to Investigate his scheme, and had tne
satisfaction of getting it's details into
the newspapers. Though it is pretty
radical reconstruction of our present
system, there is nothing Of a wild cat
or visionary nature about it. On the
contrary, 1t is simple in all respects
and sensible in most respects, and yet
there is such popular distrust of
changes in the system of money used
that he cannot seriously expect to ac-
complish the end he aims at. He
stands for gold basis pure and simple,
and thinks that in the near future no
country in the world, not even except
ing China, will use silver except as
representative money.
His plan proposes to reduce the num-
Der Of pieces and forms of money from
Is to eight. and the number of de-
nominations Counting each metal
piece as q denomination and counting
the denominations of each form of pa
per money! is reduced from As to IA.
He would have only two gold pieces,
The eagle and the half eagle, regard
ing the double eagle as too large and
the quarter eagle as too small for cir
culation. OF silver coins he would do
away with the silver dollar and the
half dollar, and leave only the quar-
ter dollar and the dime. Few people
would mourn the big silver dollar, but
the half dollar would be quite generally
missed. OF the minor coins, he would
keep the five-cent piece and the one
cent piece and would add the half-cent
piece. This last would be to the dis
may of merchants who count on 4
whole cent whenever there is half
cent On the price of a pound or yard
of goods. In paper money he would
make the most important change. The
present forms are five In number
and are gold certificates, silver certifi-
Gates, treasury notes, national bank
notes, and United States notes, COM
monty called greenbacks, and he would
have only United States notes issued
and those in denominations from ST.
to $4,000, but without any 50 or SO
denominations, and with $25 denom-
nation added. The wisdom of doing
away with 81 and $40 notes would be
seriously disputed. He has an elabor-
ate plan for the retiring of the pres
ent forms of silver and paper money
and the substitution Of the new which
is ingenius and whose practical work.
ing is not likely to be given test very
soon. Our present monetary system
has its faults, but it will be MORALLY
slow business revolutionizing it.

1t is pointed out that the revision of
the civil service rules brings the Porto
into line with the home departments,
and adds several thousand places to
those already under the competitive
system. When the rules We're first
framed, only $4,000 places came under
them. Later rules added 10000 places.
And so the reform moves on.

Two enterprising Appleton citizens
have prepared a register of that town
for the current year. 1t contains an
alphabetical list of all the residents OF
the town, with the date of birth ana
postoffice address of each, together
with the maiden name of each married
lady. There is also quite a variety of
valuable historical and statistical in
formation relating to the town and its
business, all making a book of about
100 pages. Every family in Appleton
will want Il copy, and the book will Je

pie and firms having business there
1t is a unique publication for a coun-

Senator Pike of Washington county
emphatically denies the report sent
out by the newspapers that he was in
hiding during the closing hours of the
Senate. He says: 1T is true that I was
not in the Senate chamber part of
the time before adjournment, but I
certainly was not in hiding. I was in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tives for a time, in the room of the
messenger of the Governor and Coun-
ell, where l had a short conversation
with the secretary of State and Gov
ernor Hill. and about the corridors in
fact | was in the most conspicuous
places in the State House. L cheer
fully assume full responsibility for the
part | bore in legislation; but I do de-
cidedly object to being put before the
public in a false light as regards my
movements during the closing hours
of the session"

York Harbor village is considering
seriously proposition to expend $15,-
600 in scientific road improvements.
The idea is to cover the cost of the
work by issuing bonds running twenty
to thirty years. with an option to re-
tire them after such time as shall be
found practicable; the rate of interest
probably not to exceed three and one
half per cent per annum. Last year
the valuation for taxation of the real
and personal property within the viii
lage of York Harbor Indicated an actual
value of about s1,000,000. The total
taxes of York Harbor for 1901 We're
about $4,000, and it's pro rata share of
the taxes of the town of York for the
maintenance of roads alone was neatly
$4,000. The present system of maxi lg
and repairing roads in the town of |
York is unscientific, costly. and vast e
full, and fails to give good roads. This
State lacks nothing so much as good |
roads. Let York lead off and every |
other town and city follow. The pres /;
ent patchwork system of bodybuilding
in this State is the most expensive in !
the end.
