| The committee has found no NAL

Crump to resign. and by that act to
Violate his own conscience, by placing on
his own reputation the stigma OF UNI

The Value Of Money.

In the March number OF the North Amer
lean Review, Mr.. A, B. Hepburn. former
Comptroller of the Currency. and now
president OF the Chase National Bank.
New York, has an article on the cause
OF the money stringency. He points out
that tho total stock of rsoney In the conn-
try January !, 1900, was $2253, 133, 43s, and
on January !. 1906. s2.Na,75s..07. Excluding
the money In the United States Treas-
ury. we had a total amount in actual use
in 1900 OF $3.50 3as170 and In 1905 OF So
67l,543,51l. During the period OF the high
rates OF interest, from November LIST to
January 9Th last year. there was seel CO.
COO more money in circulation and use
than in the corresponding period in 1870
an increase of nearly IS per cent. The per

creased during the same period from s2G.ss
to $3.50 Mr. Hepburn deduccs from this
that there was a degree OF currency ex-

But In addition to the actual money
| In circulation he calls attention to the
enormous amount of bank exchanged
