Shortage of Small Coin.

In it's September circular the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York says:
Somewhat contrary to expections
there is an early and strong demand
on the treasury for small bills, par
ticularly one dollar silver certificates.
The ability Of the department to sup
DIV the latter is about exhausted.
These certificates can only be issued
against free silver dollars held in the
general fund or in exchange for silver
certificates or treasury notes of 17OO
Of the larger denominations. The
free silver has fallen from 81 ,043, 900
at the beginning of August to $780,
600 at the end of the month. The
demand for the one dollar certificates
is probably due in part to the reviv-
ing retail trade and crop moving and
in part to the fact that the silver dol
lar is no longer transported at the
expense of the government. AS ex-
press charges average on the whole
81 per 81 900, taking shipments from
the mints at Philadelphia and San
Francisco-at both extremes
consideration, it is apparent that the
certificates are likely henceforth to
s,,nplant in favor the actual coin, II
not with that portion of the public
which has been accustomed TO tne
use of coin, at least with the banks
which are required to pay transpor-
tation charges,

Things Trying to Down You.
Success Magasine.)

things in your experience are trying
to thwart you, to keep you from
what you are endeavoring to do?
How every one of your weaknesses,
mistakes, and blunders, every poor
piece Of work that goes out from
your hand, every slipshod effort, is
trying to down you; every deceived
customer, every questionable act,
trying to thwart your ambition?
Many eyes are watching you, and
every slip or break you make is set
down against you. Every quarrel,
every injury done to another, every
sighting remark, every falsehood,
every hard bargain, every reflection
upon others motives, is handicap
to your career.
Little things you say? Life is
made up of little things.
In every establishment there are
employees who are kept back by
some little, foolish sensitiveness.
They are touchy and crotchety, and
there are certain things you can
never talk to them about without
causing an explosion. They may be
very strong in most things, but they
have some little weakness or sensi-
tiveness which keeps them in
mediocre positions when they have
the general ability which should win
their rapid advancement.
| have in mind young man of
most remarkable ability who had
jumped forward by leaps and bounds
for years, until he began to develop
some very cranky traits, partially
due to his unusual success. Now he
has become so cranky about his work
that, in spite of his brilliancy, it is
very difficult thing to get along with
him. He is headstrong, touchy; he
can not bear to be criticized; and it
is very difficult to tell him anything,
for he is one of the kind who "knows
it ALL"
The result is that although he
works as hard as before he has re-
ceived a great check in his career,
and he cannot understand why he
does not continue to advance as for
merry.
1t would be useless for any one to
try to tell him that his unbearable
crankiness was the cause, for, having
a colossal idea of his own Importance
and perfection, he would not believe
it.
Many brilliant young men and
young women are seriously handi-
capped in the same way. They de-
velop such disagreeable, cranky,
touchy qualities that It IS very diff
cult to get along with them. Most
employers think that it does not pay
to try to utilize a persons brilliant
qualities when surrounded with too
many thorns. They prefer a little
less brilliancy and more agreeability
and amiability.
The firm with which the young
man referred to is connected rarely
has conference or a directors meet
ing which does not bring out some
very disagreeable experiences with
him.
His associates say he often gets
angry and leaves the meetings, slam
ming the door and abusing every
one. They realize that he is great
power Intellectually; but they dislike
him so thoroughly that they have
been obliged to check his advance
ment in the firm, at the head of which
he would have stood long ago but
for the disagreeable qualities he has
developed.
Instead of helping him along,
everybo Iy feels like holding him
back.

GREAT RISK FOR BUSINESS
ccontlnued from Elre, PaseD

certificates were not good enough for him,
Or else they were too good. The demo-
cratic platform OF this year follows this
up by demanding that, insofar as the
needs OF commerce require an emergency
currency such. currency should be issued
and controlled by the federal government.
81 regard this as a direct threat not
only at the gold standard but at any sound
standard, II means. II It means anything,
the issue Of more g~reenbacks. MIR. Bryan
is not saying much about this plank, but
he has declared that he stands on the plat
form as a whole. Very likely he would
not seek to put this plank in operation UNI
less some special occasion arose, but II
would be just at that point that his ad-
ministrat1on would constitute the most
grave menace to the safety of our none
tary system and the maintenance of the
public credit.
The question Is who Is going to take the
chances Of investing gold in new business
enterprises when Mr.. Bryan stands ready,
II he gets the. chance, to send the country
to q silver or q paper. basis? Would the
business men OF this country under an
administration holding such views launch
out upon broad plans for building mills
factories and railways and affording EN-.
ployment to idle labor2-I do not think
they would. | Certainly Should not advise
the investment OF trust funds or OF any
other funds In such enterprises until Mir
Bryan had declared very different policies
from tius to which he is now ommitte
Would tJFeign capital pour into the coun.

4~.seSh answers itself. The day after tn,
ta"ULlcoment Of Bryan's election Ameri
can securities would ,bethrown on the Lon
don stock market by millions of dollari
and we should have to find the means o
paying for them in gold.
what would Mr.. Bryan do In the fac
of a gold dram? His public utterances an,
the platforms on Wpichz hs-stands-lH dlcat
that he would substitute silver OF pape
and that he would not in any case tak
steps to maintain the public credit an
the gold standard unless he was forced t
40 50 by public opinion. Even admittin
that he took such steps ultimately, it
greatly to be feared that he would not tax
them soon enough to avert appalling dis
aster, bu. that we should find MIN saeKin
