strinsency Not General.

Had the stringency been as acute
throughout the United States as it was
in New York, l doubt whether an in
crease of national bank circulation equal
to 80 per cent of the aggregate circula-
ton then existing would have been ex-
cessiye. If less than the limit authorized
by law did prove sufficient to restore
normal rates of interest certainly no more
would issue if subjected to tax of 5 or
per cent. The whole theory of heavily
taxed circulation is to prevent excessive
issue at any time and to insure its re-
tirement when normal conditions are re-
stored. But this is simply a detail and
not essential to the method outlined in
my report. While the committee in gem
eral terms declared against the plan
briefly sketched in the report of the sec
rotary, which is substantially the system
now and for many years In successful
operation in Germany, it failed to point
out the defect therein, except to the
might be issued In case of an emergency
You will quite agree with me, I think.
that greater latitude of discussion would
have ensued had the committee formu-
lated some system of its own. While |
think the German plan best, and most
practicable. | do not consider it the only
workable method. If none other can be
formulated. however, there is great hope
that sooner or later the country will
agree upon the recommendation contained
in the report Very truly yours.

Strike at Carlin.

Another big strike is reported
and this time it is in the Carlin
district. Geo. McGonagle, civil
engineer in business at Carlin, last
week uncovered a big ledge on his
property near the town that runs
in the neighborhood of $500 pei
ton on the surface. Mr.. Nc
Gonagle has been prospecting in
that region and up to the time OF
his present strike had not uncover
ed anything of value.
The ledge appears to be OF large
extent. The ore, which is a brown
quartz, is free milling and can be
handled with ease as there is plenty
of water for milling purposes in
the vicinity.
Mr.. McGonagle will Immediately
put a force of men to work and en-
deayor to catch the ledge at a low
er point. He is very much elated
over his find and thinks he has as
good a proposition as there is in
the country.
There are many prospectois III

time and as it is blessed with an
abundance of water it is attract

They've Always
Happened So.

While we are not prophet or
the son Of a prophet it is becoming
popular fad to give weather FORE
casts, so here is our prediction for
this month. During the first half
there will be some brisk winds
from the north but every day the
sun will rise, and often there will
be gloomy skies; some days, how
ever, may be fair, with southern
winds and mellow air. Those
things will happen sure we know,
because they always happen so.
This good months moon will be
full, and Office seekers week their
"pull." Some lucky ones will land
the prize, while other men esteem
ed as wise will fail in all they un-
dertake and find they've made a
sad mistake, for charlatans to for
tunes ride while modest worth is
thrust aside. These things will
happen, we know, because they've
always happened SO. In this good
month of 1906, the boys and girls
will have their fun. They'll go to
parties, dance and spark; they'll
kiss each other in the dark; they'll
marry and begin their life, happy
hopeful man and wife, and some
time they will own kid, just like
their dads and mammies did
These things will happen, sure we
know, because they've always hap
pened so.-Exehange.
