Mr.. Cleveland knows nothing of re-

of any knowledge of that subject. but
for the value of his name and the

MONEY AND STOCK GAMBLING

JACOB H.. SCHIFF. WAS QUITE
right in saying to the New York cham
Der of commerce that the monetary
conditions which have existed in this
city New York; for the last sixty
days are a disgrace to civilized com
munity."
He Is wrong. however in imputing
the chief blame to the currency con
dihons of the country" Faulty these
conditions Iinquestionably are, but nc
government in the world attempts OF
probably ever will attempt to frame a
currency system elastic" enough 10
suit the needs of speculatirs.
There were added to the gold cir
culaiion of the country last year s11,
0OQ,0O0 and nearly S1O0.000.000 10 its
total stock of money. which now
tands at $3l16 per capita 1t was
s2549 per capita twelve years ago.
Throughout the pinch I'm Wall street
money has been obtainablc for legiti
mate business at rates slightly above
the normal. but not prohibitiye. IN
other cities there has been no such
abuse of credit as in New York The
conclusion is irresistible that. though
currency conditions may have aided
the stringency, it is mainly due ia
an Unreasonable demand for money for
stock gambling when it is needed for
the rapidly expanding and legitimate
bus ness OF the country
