The Cox Street Sidewalk

The Transcript is pleased to learn
from one of the Town Commissioners
that it has been decided by them to
grant the petition of the property own
ers on Crawford and Lalle4 streets, and
place three foot-wide cement pave
ment on one side of Cox street from
Crawford to Main street
This is, we think, a wise move, and
one in every way justified by the circum-
stances of the case. The many citizens
to whom this new walk win prove a
great convenience, will certainly APP
preciate the work of the public-spirited
lady foremost in its promotion, while
thanking the Town Commissioners for
its granting.

EMANCIPATION OF CREDIT

Wien President Wilson signed
he administration currency bill he
signed an emancipation proCIama-
ton for the credit CT the ration
which, under tie obsolete and in
adequate currency and banking
laws, las bren held in control bv a
few great financiers who have used
their rover to ,subjugate business
ana industry in many branches.
Tie new measure places the United
States in control IF that which has
been controlled by a group of capt.
alist and spreads the bank reserves
all over the country instead of al
lowing them to be Congested in New
York Civ.
The first effect of the new meas
ure will be to set free large amount
of gold and legal tender and render
the sums released availd bic for cur
rency and additional loans. TIE
banks IN the future will have to
keep a much smaller reserve against
their deposits and an amount est
mated at more than 81 1000, 900 will
be released for active use The
second direct effort will be provision
tor more elastic note circulation in
proportion to the gold held. A pro
VISION by which nearly So in notes
may be issued with hacking of
only $1 in gold will. enable the Unit
ed States to provide itself with
very large amount of notes without
increasing its existing gold reserve.
Sir George Pais1. editor of the
Loncon Statist, who has been visit
ing in the United States and who is
recognized as one Of the greatest
financial authorities in the world
says with reference to the new law:
The main function of the new
federal reserve may be to hold the
reserves Of the national banks and
TO issue notes. By r-eans of the
deposits OF the national banks the
federal reserve banks will receive |
suffIolent quantity of gold or gold
certificates to enable th> m to set IN
the necessary reserves and to issue /
d large amount Of notes. Indeed If
IS evident that the federal reserve
notes Will gradually take the place !
OF gold certificates in circulation and I

1.-THE gold produced by their owl
mines for many years. The i'm
porta7ce of this will be evident wher
it is realized that the gold Certltl
cites in circulation in the last ter
wears have increased from 1877. 900,
600 to 81 ,OO8, 600 600, an increase
in a single decade of no less than
1851 900, 900 or at the rate of over
1900, GOO sterling per annum. Al
the present time the amount of golj
in the treasury, gold certificates in
circulation, against which gold is
held in the treasury, and coin IN
circulation, is computed at 81 1867, :
| O0O, 900, against 81 ,248. 900, 900 ten
years ago and less than 5000, OOO,-
COO in 1898. Therefore, in 20 years
the United States has absorbed near
Iy 81 100000, 900, or ever 200, COO,
600 sterling of new gold, an ab-
sorption which would never have
taken place but for the archaic char
acter of the banking and currency
system Of the United States. Under
the measure the gold held will be
made to perform a much greater
amount OF service.
The old currency and banking
