there were only two counties al

The ablest financiers of this

Congress and before the people
the greatest question, SIS our

tic currency is not the making OF
more money, but simply adopting
the plans that will prove most
effective in using that which is
already locked up in our vaults.
1t could not be expected that
any member of our present
delegation in Congress would
take an active part in this dis
cussion in advocacy Of a more
elastic currency, when the great
State of Arkansas has for more
than a quarter Of a century had
boarded up in her vaults thous-
ands, and sometimes millions OF
dollars.
If the Government resorts to
"branch banking" and other
modern financial panaceas, cer-
tainly the State Of Arkansas can
better afford to place her reve-
nucs in approved repositories,
giving ample collateral security,
rather than to heap and hoard
thousands and sometimes millions
Of dollars in @le Treasury, within
easy reach Of the expert burglar,
with his various contrivances for
robbery.
If this article escapes the waste
basket, ! will explain, in my next
letter, the nature Of the security
that the repositories should DO

row tho States money, and will
also show what other States are
