Dr. E. T. Devine, the noted charity

would come for it, but they never
came

the bread line is composed of veal
men, men who, when it comes to de

their higher selves.

PROFIT TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Vast Amount Of Paper Money Never
Presented for Redemption.

1t is stated that of the $7,500,00 of
clearing house certificates issued by
the banks of Chicago, $131 900 are still
outstanding. 1t is probable that few
more thousand dollars may be turned
In for redemption, but 1t Is not at all
unlikely that 100000 or so of the total
issue may share the same experience
or fate as that OF the money emitted
by the government
Paper money is very destructible,
and large amounts of 1t are constant.
ly being destroyed, of which we never
hear, because of an apparent indispost
tion on the part of those who make
our laws to provide machinery for de.
tecting contractious of the currency
due to that cause. In the case of the
clearing house certificates it Is pos.
sible that considerable amount has
lound It's way into the possession of
collectors, but the greater part of th>
unredeemed notes have doubtless been
lost or destroyed
1t would be interesting to know just
how much of the $3i6, 900 of legal
'VhuSI currency OF tnc government,
which is supposed to be in circulation,
Is still In existence. The opportunities
for destruction since the date when
congress stopped the process of con-
traction by fixing the amount supposed
to be in circulation at the above figure
must be very great. Some have ven.
tured to estimate 1t at not less than
100000, 900.
There has also been an enormous
loss of silver and gold certificates, no
one can tell how much; and singularly
enough no one in authority in Wash
inston seems to be at all curious con.
cerning the amount. And yet there
is good reason why curiosity should
be manifested
There is no sense in stating in our
treasury reports that there are $780,
100000 of legal tenders outstanding
when it would be easy to ascertain
that the amount was much less, or that
the total silver and gold certificates in
circulation is greater than it really is.
