Money for the People.

Messrs. Scott ma stringfcllow. of Rich
lm,und have issued n circular showing an
enormous increase Of money III circtln7
tlor-thut is, money outside the nasionai
tIoasury-during the past year. The IN
crcasc in round numbers was s97o0o0oo,
al which sum S54.Coo,ooo was god;
!, ooc, 900 silver, and sl2,oOo,cco national
hank notes,
Between September LIST and Decefipe'
list the money in the national banks
decreased $50 100000 and the money IN
thn Treasury decreased S250Oo,0oO, while
INC total stock Of money in the country
increased ssl0M,0oo; so that 1t wnPid
anrcar that the money In uso among
tho people between these dates Increased
sci 900.
FOR the corresponding period last year
the increase was $62,000,00O
Since 1886 the increase of money SO
employed has been S506,0o00eo, and the
tota, increase in circulation soi3,0Oo,ooo.
There is lesson in these figures
TO those who, in 1896, contended that
under the SOlQ StaIludlu t'io QUIZ" -
money would h, diminished. 1t Is also
fair to say that the advocates Of free
silver were right in saying that greater
supply Of money was needed and was
necessary to insure a return of pros,
,>.rity But the supply came without re-
sort to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
Messrs. Scott and Stringfellow further
show that the bank clearings Of thet
country increased from fifty millions I'M
1866 to one hundred and seventeen mil
licns in 19le Thus we have for that PEI
Rod an increase Of 81 per cent. in circuh |
tor and $50 per cent. In bank clearings1
During the year 1903 there was a steady
Increase In cearings for the country
outside of New York from July to No
vnmber, inclusive. For eleven months the
increas., for the country outside of New
York was about A per cent. which would
indicate an increase rather than q de-
crease In general business In 1908 over

A Roll of Honor.

4 The Times-Dispatch never lost faith IN
the jamestown Exposition Company. At
one time 1t looked as though the company
would not be able TO secure subscrip-
lions for million dollars worth OF the
stock before January LIST, such sub,
scription being necessary TO make good
the State appropriation OF 100000. Many
predicted failure. but even after the
Transportation companies had failed 10
subscribe as literally as the management
had expected, we slill had an abiding
faith. and expressed Il, that ther6
enough Of enterprise and patriotism In
Underwater Virginia TO make up the. de.
ffcit. Our confidence was not misplaced;
our hope was realized. Yesterday the
Governor OF the State and the Auditor
OF Public Accounts were notified that the
sun, OF $4,000 had been subscribed. and

sured.

he New York Evening Post says:

The New York Evening PoSt says:
1.-TWO months ago we called attention
to defense of lynching by the Rev. WI
Nj. Brown, Episcopal Bishop Of Arkansas,
and n northerner by birth. This clergy
man actually found tat there We're 'eX-
tcnuating circumstances" which some
times made it necessary to resort to IL
legal hangings. or to burnings in order
to prevent certain crimes. Monstrous as
this doctrine would he. coming from the
lips Of any professed teacher of ethics,
it was all the more scandalous when ut
tered by a bishop who had no less than
100000 negroes In his diocese. Wo are
glad to find that 1t is being widely re-!
scented by the colored people who arc
supposedly under his spiritual charge.
For instance, tho congregation of ST.,
Philips Episcopal Church of Little Rock
has passed strong resolutions OF pro-
test"
That Is the way with the evening Post.
Whom 1t discusses the negro question Il
| can see but one side. and that is always

The point is this: 1t is not at al! unusual
