Curiously, Scsnt interest has been
paid 10 the suggestion Of Mr. Hard
ing, governor Of the Federal Reserve
BOARD, that advantage bc taken OF
the present abundance Of money 10
retire S346, coo, 900 Of United States
Treasury notes, historically known
as legal tenders and Familiarity called
"greenbacks" from their color. This
is the only fiat money We have in
this country. It's history is strange.
10 was war money, issued by the
government during the Civil War
for temporary purposes and made
legal for tender in payment Of debts
or taxes. At the close Of the war
S40O.000,000 OF this money was IN
circulation, and it was then the in
tentiou 10 retire il as fast as pos
sible. Indeed, Congress adopted
resolution specifically undertaking
TO do so, and at length steps we're
taken to cancel the "greenbacks"
gradually. 80 much each year, until
they should all be gone out of cir
culation. No objections were raised,
because prices were very high, owing
to money imitation, and consumers
we're in favor Of a contraction Of
currency. the effect OF which would
be 70 reduce the cost of living. But
when S64.O00.O0O Of the green
backs had been retired that is to
say. destroyed as they came into the
possession Of the Treasury-prices
had already begun to fall, and the
arrangements consequent upon that
phenomenon were blamed on the con
traction of the currency. There
arose a "greenback party from
which grew later the "silver party.
Both we're under the delusion that
prosperity lay in cheap money. In
1873 Congress enacted a law requir-
ing that the "greenbacks" under no
circumstances should be retired, but
that, on the contrary, as fast as they
came into the hands Of the govern
ment they we're to be reissued and
kept in circulation. This blunder
came near to causing the United
States government to 90 bankrupt.
1t was obliged TO redeem the green (
backs" in gold upon demand, and /
then had no choice but 10 reissue
them, so that they could be rendered
again for redemption in gold, over
and over, without end. BY this
means the Treasury was drained Of .
gold to a point at which, during the
first Bryan campaign, 1t was doubt
full from week to week whether the
government could continue meeting
its obligations in gold at all. That
was the last crisis in which the
wretched "greenbacks' figured.
Since then the country's wealth has
so rapidly that nobody has
ever doubted its gold solvency. All
money has been "as good as gold
But here after fifty years are the
"greenbacks" still, though they were
issued during war for temporary
purposes" an absurdity in our cur
rency system. They ought TO be re-
tired. As Mr.. Harding says, they
could be replaced with Federal Re
serve notes. Nobody would ever .
miss them.

ILLUSIONS
Weekly and Monthly
Export Records
RepresentNot the Ac-
tual Periods, but the
Starting and Stop
ping of the Govern
ment's Figure Mill
HOREIGN trade statistics, once
n classified by the editors Of
"A nnuenanors as dry and nnin-

y
IA newspapers as dry and unin-
teresting reading, have ever since the
war in Europe started been given
conspicuous and generous space in
the news columns. The record" eX-
ports indicated from week to week
and month to month as shipments Of
war supplies to the Allies cleared
from New York and other ports
have produced the sensation neces-
ssry to give them an important place
in the news of the day.
But from the viewpoint Of more
sombre journals whose editorial
policies place greater weight on ac-
curacy than sensationalism, the "rec-
ord" figures on exports compiled by
the government have evoked a good
deal of criticism. on.the ground that
they cannot be relied upon 70 fur
nish basis for wholly reliable com
parison. This is because the govern
ment statistics on exports for given
week or month do not represent the
actual shipments within that period.
They represent merely the amount
Of shipments which the Custom
House officials have been able to com
pile for that week or month. In the
great majority Of instances the act
ual merchandise was exported any
where from one TO several weeks pre-
viously.
The Department Of Commerce, ac-
cording 10 l. Newton Hoffman,, III
1.-THE Journal of the American Bank
ers Association"
has spared no time. expense or
trouble in furnishing regularly as
many reports as could be prepared.
The department has been very dill
gent in this work, and having a GER
tain sense for news has invariably
taken pains 20 provide news features
10 dry statistical data BY persistently
calling attention to record" figures.
During tho past twenty-three
months the government has invited
attention 10 record exports of a day,
a week, "a month. series of months,
3 year, etc In short, it has supplied
various and numerous sensations"
evolved from the compilation Of sta
tistics.
The vigilance exercised by the gov
crnment in order that no goods shall
pass the customs inspectors without
the payment of whatever duty they
may take makes the compilation Of
imports a comparatively easy task,
but in the case OF exports the situs-
ton is quite different. There is no
strict and well defined Federal
statute requiring exporters to file at
the Custom House detailed informa-
ton regarding their shipments. The
law merely provides that the master
Of an outgoing vessel shall submit a
manifest in order 70 obtain his clear
ance papers. In former years 1T has
often been difficult for the customs
officials to obtain satisfactory data
for the compilation of export sta
tistics. Since the outbreak OF the
war. however, the Treasury Depart
ment and the Department Of Com
merce have jointly promulgated new
regulations as 10 tho filing Of ship
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-26

pers' export manifesto, and the gov
eminent officials have been more
careful in collecting information n
% outgoing cargocs, with the result
that the export statistics to-day are
said TO be more complete and more
accurate than ever before
And yet the writer previously
quoted contends that the reports is
sued by the Custom House state one
thing, while they mean another. As
nc explains Il:
Figures reported as exports FOR
day. n week or a month DO not rep
resent the value OF goods actually
shipped from The port Of Now York
during the day, week or month, A. one
would naturally presume. Tho re-
ports do not indicate the volume Of
exports for tho period mentioned. but
they merely represent tho results Of
statistical labor for the day. week or
month, az the case may be. Consc-
quently, when the newspapers publish
a statement 10 the effect that the OK
ports Of a particular week marked ~
new high record" tho fact is that the
figures put through the statistical ma
chimes during that week recorded a
now high record.
In explanation, IL should be stated
that the individual shippers mani
tests received a. the Custom House
arc sorted as 20 vessels. that tho in
formation contained in them is coded
for transcription on cards which are
fed into the electrical tabulating ma
chimes. From two 90 three thousand
OF such manifcsts are received daily
az the Custom House many OF them
several days in advance OF the sail
ing of the ship which IS expected TO
carry the merchandise. Ry reason OF
the large volume OF exports, it is
practically impossible foi the clerks
in the Custom House TO keep up with
the current work, and, moreover, some
OF the shippers file their manifests
late sometimes as lato 81 fifteen
days after the clearance Of the vessel
Another difficulty is that frequently
an exporter will file report 70 the
effect that a certain number of cases
Of merchandise are to 60 forward on
particular vessel, and Il is later
found that the goods, on account o.
the lack OF freight space, had to be
shipped a week later on another
steamer. Cases of this kind require
adjustment some tile after the sail
ing of vessel, and it is therefore I'm
possible 70 have complete records Of
exports at the time when the ship act
ually leaves port.
Working under these difficulties the
Custom House statistical mill grinds
out figures as fast as it can, and its
daily production is given out 70 the
public az the actual export shipments
Of the day. Exports reported for Sat
urdsys are usually one-half Of the
totals for weekdays. IL is a well
known fact that more ships sail on
Saturday than on any other day, ana
consequently Saturday exports should
be larger than exports for Monday or
Friday. This statistical anomaly Is
explained by the fact that government
employees work only a half day on
Saturdays.
A careful examination of export
statistics shows that goods included ,
in the report Of a particular day were
actually shipped on steamers which /
sailed from the port OF New York two, !
three. or even six weeks previously

VOTE ON THE
ATRE ORCHESTRA
Novel Ballot Now Being Taken By
Management Of Peoples Theatre
to Decide Question

The Peoples Theatre is TAX
ing a rather unique ballot among
its patrons this week. The
question to be decided is wheth-
er or not the patrons wish the
Theatre tol install a first class
Orchestra, the additional expense
to be partly borne by raising the
Saturday night admission to
fifteen instead of ten cents.
Cards have been distributed for
the purpose and the voting is
easily done by making a cross in
the square opposite the PROPOSE
ton fave red and handing in the
card at the ticket window. Mana
ger Robinson states that to date
sentiment seems to favor the in
staliation Of the Orchestra.
1t is needless to say that the
m Isle .lovrlg citizens Of the tow
are in hopes that sentiment for
such an Orchestra as that the
Peoples Theatre had last winter
will be Overwhelming.
