soon purchase s75.O0O,0OO worth OF
Liberty bonds and Victory notes in
the open market with the earnings OF
the Federal reserve banks. which Will
be paid over to the Treasury next
January.
The Federal reserve banks have
made extraordinary earnings in the
past year. but, under the law. they
may pay only 6 per cent cumulative
dividends to the member banks. This
will mean that the large excess earn
ings over that amount must be paid
into the Treasury as a franchise tax.
Such sums may be devoted by the
Secretary of the Treasury only to a
few uses. They may not be covered
into the general fund OF the Treas
ury, but can be used to reduce the
public debt
TO BUY IN OPEN MARKET.
Accordingly. the Secretary of the
| Treasury is planning to go into the
open market. beginning next jan
uary, when the reserve bank earns
ings will be paid over to the Treas
ury, and purchase Liberty bonds and
Victory notes. While $4,000, 900 Is
not a large sum in proportion to the
vast volume of Government securities
outstanding, ID is not insignificant
when compared to what might be
| regarded as the floating supply of
bonds in the hands of brokers and
others willing to sell on short notice.
So substantial purchase as
S75, 900, 900 should have the effect of
materially raising the level of bond
prices on the open market, especially
since strong influence will arise
from the fact that it is the Secretary
of the Treasury who Is buying, and
for retirement purposes.
INDIVIDUALS BUYING.
The Federal Reserve Banks report
constantly increasing purchases by
individuals OF Government securities
in their districts. The funds being
freed by the general credit liauida-
ton which is progressing slowly, but
steadily, crop profits now beginning
to be realized and the funds which
would go into speculative enterprises
were IL not for the discouragement
which the Federal Reserve Board has
given to such business, all appear to
be drifting into bonds at the present
bargain prices.
This is said to be the first time that
the Government has been in a position
to use the profits of the Federal Re
serve system to buy its own oblisa-
tions. Further, the Government will
make a profit of several million dol
lars on the bonds by buying them at
the market price. unless they go up
materially by that time, and holding
them until they mature.

THE PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT

While the American poet Lowell was
not by nature a strong progressive.
the selection given below from his
poem. 1.-THE Present Crisis" is prob
ably the strongest expression In the
English language of the spirit Of
truth that makes both individuals
and nations progressive. noble and
worthy to endure.
Once to every man and nation
Comes the momenk to decide,
In the strife Of Truth with Falsehood,
For tho good or evil side; -.
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand.
And the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
Then to side with Truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause brings fame and profit,
And tits prosperous to be just;
Then it. is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit,
TIL his Lord is crucified,
And the multitude make virtue
OF the faith they have denied.
They have rights who dare maintain
them;
We are traitors to our sires,
Smothering in their holy ashes
Freedoms new lit altar fires;
Shall we make their creed our jailer?
Shall we in our haste to slay
From the tombs of the old prophets
Steal the funeral lamps away
To light up the martyr-fagots
Round the prophets of today?
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouthi
They must upward still, and onward
Who would keep abreast OF Truth
Lo, before US gleam her campfires!
We, ourselves must Pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayflower, and steer
boldly
Through the desperate winter sea
Nor attempt the Future portal
With the Past's blood-rusted key.
James Russell Lowell, 1874.

and uncleanly work, and their Excess
