More Money II Necessary.

That the secretary of the treasury
means business in offering to deposit
enough money in central and western
banks TO move the crops, is shown
by the statement last week, that II
30 million dollars was not sufficient
to meet all demands, sum three
times that amount would be brought
into play. AS remarked before,
there has never been move in fiuan-
cial circles, either government or
private, which was more simple and
sensible. II cannot but be result
producing. For good many years
1t has been a well known fact that
about all the surplus cash in the
country was controlled by small
bunch of bankers in the city OF New
York. These men have frequently
been accused OF manipulating the
money markets To their own advan-
tage and gain, aud rs In al! such
transactions the man who farms has
invariably been left holding tho sack
and footing the bill. This shrewd
move on the part of the government
will doubtless do more to overcome
the fear of panics than any other
one thing. That governments are
maintained for the purpose OF help
ing all the people instead of the pri.
vileged few is fact which at last
seems TO be sinking into the heads
of even the political gentlemen who
have charge of affairs of state. Mis-.
