INFERIORITY CF CUT} OWN AS COM-
PARED WITH SCOTCH AND CANA-
DIAN CURRENCY SYSTEMS.
Need For llIore Money to Move Crops Is
At Once Supplied In Other Countries,
_. but Not In This— led Tape, Cost and
Delay In Obtaining Currency Make Our
System ”Inelastic and Increase Rate of
Interest In August and September—‘Bet-
ter Banking and Currency Systems Alone
pan Rid Us of the Silver Question.
Secretary of the Treasury Windom
said in his treasury report for 1890:
“In my judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack of elasticity. it it ‘2“ The demand for
money, in this country, is so irregular
that an amount of circulation which
will be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove so deficient
during’the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster.
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move-
ment to market, in August and Septem—
ber, annually causes a dangerous ab-
sorption of money. The lack of a suffi-
cient supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interest.”
How hard and inelastic is our present
unscientific currency system, or lack of
system, is apparent when a comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In a pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currency committee
of the Reform club Mr. L. Carroll Root
illustrates the relative elasticity of 20
different banking systems in 16 different
countries. He says: '
“The data. secured includes weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank currency
systems of the world. The period cov-
ered in each case is the two years 1894
and 1895. The method of preparation
of diagrams has been to take the mini-
mum circulation of the period as a base
line and to reduce the amounts on other
dates to percentages of this. In this way
a common measure has been sccurcd,
and comparison of one diagram with
another is facilitated.” _
We reproduce below thrco of Mr.
Root’s diagrams‘which show in a. strik-
ing way the great difference in elasticity
of currencies in Scotland, Canada and
the United States.

These diagrams show that in Scotland
there is about 20 per cent more of cur-
rency in circulation in November than
in February. In Canada there is 22 per
cent more currency in circulation in Oc-
tober than in May. In the United States
there was only 6 per cent change in cir-
culation during the two years 1894 and
1895, and the most of this change is ac-
counted for not by the changing needs
for currency at; different periods of the
year, but by the sales of United States
bonds, which made it convenient for
banks to increase their circulation. Mr.
Root thus explains the changes in Can-
ada and Scotland:
“For instance, on comparing the cir-
culation of Canada and Scotland, the
first thing noticed is that in Scotland
there are two upward movements, one
culminating-.111 May and the other in
November, while‘i Canada the former
movement is cntir y absent and the
n
..
' other occurs one month earlier than in
Scotland. The explanation will without
doubt be found in the Scotch practice of
making payments on mortgages, inter-
est, annuities, etc, at those dates—a.
practice not followed so extensively in
Canada. -
“In general a single annual move-
ment may be said to characterize agri-
cultural communities. This occurs in
the fail, and is .due to what we have
come to call ‘moving the crops.’
that farmers, as a class, are not accus-
tomed to make use of bank deposits, and
consequently when payments are made
to them for their crops (largely at a sin-
gle season of the year) the surplus over
immediate payments is required by them
in the form of notes—it being unques-
tionably true that in any of our agricul-
tural communities in this country the
average farmer has in his possession
during the six weeks following the sale
of his crop a. much larger amount of
currency than during the rest of the
year. The result in the aggregate is an
extraordinary demand, such as that
which leads in Canada to an annual ex-
pansion of 20 per cent in the bank cir-
culation. ” ,
Undoubtedly the needs for currency
in the United States change about. as
much as in Canada, but the cost of buy-
ing bonds at a high premium on which
notes can be issued only to 90 per cent
of their par value, the red tape neces-
sary to obtain these notes from the gov-
ernment; and the tax on circulation
make a delay and cost in increasing the
circulation which practically prohibit
an increase until the need for such in-
crease is past. Therefore interest rates
in this. country run up rapidly in Au-
gust and September without appreciably
affecting the supply of currency.
In Scotland and Canada the machinery
necessary to increase the supply of our-
rency is simple and is entirely in the
hands of the banks; hence the cost and
delay necessary are much less than with
us. Thus in Canada a few big banks
with numerous “branch banks” supply
,all parts of the country with currency.
Vhen more money is needed in any
province—as in‘ Manitoba when the
wheat crop is being harvested—rates of
interest begin to rise. The profits of sup-
plying currency iu this province arc in-
creascd,andi ‘mcdiately additional sup-
plies of currency are sent from the big
banks in Montreal, Quebec or Toronto
to their branch banks in Manitoba. Thus
the cost of moving the crops is much
lower in Canada than in the United
States, where rates of interest go up an
down without materially changing the
supply of currency. Of course the farm-
ers, through increased competition of
bidders, who‘obtain plenty of money at
low rates of interest and can afford to
pay high prices, reap most of the benefit.
There are other advantages connected
with “branch banks” which it is un-
necessary to explain here. It is sufficient
to say that in Canada there is no silver
question to disturb business and occupy
the time of politicians and legislators.
It is not likely that we will have finan-
cial peace until we greatly improve our
banking and currency systems.
Mr. Bryan on Equality. .
In his speech at N ew York on Feb. 26
Mr. Bryan said: “If any person believes
a government should single out a few
people and give them advantages .over
others, he does not understand equ’ality
under the law. ”
This is very true. But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 50 cents’ worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as $1, is
not Mr. Bryan advocating the very in-
equality under the law which he re-
bukes? Would not free coinage of silver
at a fictitious ratio be to “single out a.
few people and give them advantages
over others?” The owners of silver bul-
lion in this country are very few indeed.
Again Mr. Bryan says, ‘ ‘N 0 just gov-
ernment ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen. ”
True. But would not the government
do this if it enabled one class of citizens,
the debtors, to discharge their obliga-
tions to another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government.
were to make wampum or conch shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would it not enable one class of citizens
to injure another class? And would it
not do the same in depreciating the cur-
rency of the country to a 50 cent; basis?
The people so decided last November.
The Only Good Paper Currency.
All propositions for the retirement of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as a feature of our
currency system are coupled with the
dcmandfor a banking system that would
afford a large note circulation, one more
responsive to the fluctuating demands of
business and one whose reserve would be
maintained by banks ,which would be
compelled by the conditions of their
existence and by law to protect their
notes, and which, through their discount
business, have the neCessary machinery
for increasing their reserves 01' decreas-
ing their liabilities. Such a. banking sys-
term would provide the paper currency
which the [American people would rather
handle 'in their daily transactions and
carry about as pocket money than 'specie.

Afraid of 16 to 1 Fire.
The Democrats of Rhode Island will,
it is said, ignore the currency question
in their coming state convention. They
will ignore it fer the same reason that a.
burnt child stops playing with fire. It;
is to be hoped that the Democrats will
profit by past mistakes. It would be a
pity not to have the two great old par~
ties in the field in 1900.
Japan’s Progressive Step.
Japan shows both its progressiveness
and its financial honesty and sense in
providing for gold and silver coinage at

mercial ratio enforced by Jefferson and

tion until the Blandites tried to make a
dollar out of 50 cents. —New York

GAGE AND THE INTERVIEWER.
Circumstanhes Under “'hich the Treasury
Secretary Would Steal.
Frank 11. Brooks, a Chicago news-
paper man, relates a. story of a freak
assignment of his, in which Lyman J.
Gage figures. It fell to his lot to put
to Mr. Gage, 0‘. '1‘. Yerkes, Marshall
Field and Samuel Allerton this ques«
tion: “If you should suddenly lose
every dollar of your property, find
yourself deprived of credit, health and
where, what would you do?”
To this question Mr. Gage answered:
“I should hunt up a job, of course.”
"But suppose nobody would give you
«‘1 job?” it was suggested.
"Well, that is hardly possible—but
granted that it is—why, in that case,
~10 get a Shovel and clean sidewalks,
or set up a peanut stand, or do some-
thing like that,” Mr. Gage replied,
confidently.
"But, Mr. Gage, suppose you hadn’t
even capital enough to buy a shovel
or a. lot of peanuts, what then?”
“Well, then, I suppose,” said Mr.
Gage, thoughtfully, “I’d have to bog
on the streets.”
“And suppose, again, nobody would
give you a ceht, same as thousands are
refused on the streets every night?”
Herc Mr. Gage waved his hand im-
patiently and remarked: “Oh, well, in
that case I suppose I would steal, and
you tell the editor who gave you this
fool assignment that I believe he
would, too, under the same circum-
stances.”
CORNELIUS N. BLISS.
New York's Member of President Dic-
Kinley's Cabinet.
Cornelius N. Bliss is a member of the
firm of Bliss, Fabyan 85 00., in Duane
street, representing the greatest cotton
mills in New England.
Mr. Bliss has had charge of the-party
funds in‘ the past two national cam-
paigns, and that part of the work has
been left entirely to his discretion.
Chairmen of the committees have fre-
quently declared his services to be in-
valuable. He is as shrewd a financier
as he is dry goods merchant.
In State politics Mr. Bliss has been
one ofthe leaders of the Union League
faction that has vigorously opposed Mr.
Platt’s machine organization. Despite
this fact there is said to be cordial re-
lations between the two. Mr. Platt has
expressed satisfaction with Mr. Bliss as
a Cabinet appointee.
TWENTY PRESIDENTS.
‘chry Barnard. the Great Educator, a
Personal Friend of 111051; of Them.
.The high efficiency of our public
school system is largely due to the
energy and perseverance of Mr. Bar-
nard. He began working to improve
it when he was a member of the State
Legislature from 1837 to 1840, when
he suggested the passage of an act
providing for the recording of school
statistics and their publication by the
Comptroller. This was followed by
other acts, among them one for the
better supervision of common schools
and one for the building of better
schoolhouses.
In 1843 he visited the schools of
every State in the Union, and spoke
on education before seventeen Legis-
latures. He made the acquaintance of
the leading teachers in sixty Ameri-
can cities, and corresponded with them
for years after. -
From 1830 to 1842 he was Secretary
of the Connecticut Board of School
Commissioners; from 1842 to 1849 he
was School Commissioner for Rhode
Islam]; from 18.30 to 1854 Superintend-
ent of Connecticut State Schools; and
from 1857 to 1859 President of the
University of W'isconsin. Then until
1867 he was busy writing on educa-
tional subjects, particularly in his
Journal of Education, which he had
established in 1855. He also issued in
1866 the American Library of Schools
and Education, and began to agitate
for a National Bureau of Education.
James A. Garfield was among the
first to endorse Mr. Bernard’s work.
He introduced a bill in Congress, of-
fected its passage, and Mr. Barnard
talked President Johnson into signing
it. The President did more than that.
He appointed Mr. Barnard Commis-
sioner of Education. ,
Through the general interest which
from the beginning of his career, he
excited in his work, Mr. Barnard was
brought into intimate relations with
many public men. He knew person-
ally every President of the United
States except the first three. “'ith
most of them he was on terms of
hearty friendship—New York Press.

Intermittent Speech.
Some days he can talk; some days
he cannot. Such is the predicament
of Theodore Heinze, a railroad em-
ploye in Argentine, whose (use is one
of the strangest that has ever come
under the notice of the local medical
profession for some time. I-Ieinze‘s
troubles are caused from a stroke of
paralysis, sustained last March, but
just why he can talk plain-lyon some
days, while on other days he is as
dumb as an oyster, the doctors are at
close to understand.——Kansas City

DOMESTIC LIFE IN BETHLEHEM.
Much Hard Work for the Men Who Begir
Early to Look Old.
I went to Bethlehem several times
usually returning toward dusk, says
a contributor to McClure’s Maigizinc.
I constantly met the “Bethlehem men,’-
as they are called—merchants, masons.
carpenters, laborers—returning on foot
from their long and hard day’s work
in Jerusalem. The heurs of labor in
the East are from sunrise to sunset;
and those men would leave Bethlehem
early in the morning, and, after walk-
iug six miles to their daily task, work
all day, and walk back‘at dusk tc
their late and scanty supper. The
younger men looked worn out; the
older men seemed to have lost all
strength, and their eyes frequently
looked dull and almost glazed. I was
invited to visit a family in Bethlehem.
Their home was on the second floor of
a building. It consisted of, a single
room about fifteen fect square, with a
concrete floor, and not a single article
of furniture save a tiny charcoal stove.
It was clean; there were plenty of win
dows; and the window-sills were low
and broad and were used instead of
chairs. There were little cupboards
built. in the walls. which held the food
and the few dishes. At one side of the
room was a large recess, perhaps two
feet deep, three feet high and six feet
long. How were piled blankets, rugs
and quilts, neatly folded. At night
the runs were spread on the floor and
the l'ainil)~ slept on them. using the
blankets and quilts for covering. On
great occasions a little circular table,
about three feet across and one foot
high, was used as a dining-table.
PERISHED
Father, Mother and Two Sons Meet a
Peculiar Death.
On a lonely farm near North Branch
Mr. and Mrs. John Bonniman and two
sons met. lustantdeath in a peculiar
and dreadful manner. It is the cus-
tom among the farmcrs in that neigh-
borhood to store their large potato
crops in pits in the ground. The Bon-
nimans were well-to-do farmers and
their pit was unusually large and club-
orate. One day Mr. Bonniman built
a fire in the pit, as he feared the frost
would penetrate it.
In the morning he and his oldest son
went to straighten up the place;
together they lifted the heavy trap-
door, aud the father, a stal-
wart man of fifty years. let him-
sclf down into the pit. In an instant,
to the horror of the young man, he
dropped dead, or at least unconscious.
The son gave a shriek of terror and
went to the rescue of his father.
He, too, became a corpse, but his
scream had brought his brother, a boy
of eighteen, from the barn, and a mo-
Innt laterihe mother came running
from the house, followed by her young-
est son, a lad of fourteen years. The
second son arrived first and dropped
into the death trap, thinking to help
his father and brother, but the tire
damp killed him in a twinkling,
When the mother arrived, she too,
jumped into the pit. She was imme-
diately overpowered, but had strength
left to tell her remaining son not to
come into the cellar.——.\'ew York

A SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE.
Skating Parties May Now be Held in a
Hall Room.
A step toward skating in summer has
been made by the inventor-manufac-
turcr Yillard, of Paris. This inven~
tive genius has been seriously consid-
ering {or some years the fact that
skatng tournaments are the most
uncertain, things in the sporting
world. No reliance can be placed upon
ice.
Aside from the uncertainties of the
ice in cold weather, there are a great
many latitudes that never have weath‘~
or cold enough for skating.
To obviate all this, Villard has com-
pleted a substance which makes skat-
in;r easy not only in winter, but in
summer. It is hard upon the surface,
glassy and smooth in texture, will float
like :I. cork, and resists the heaviest
blow and it neither flakes nor breaks
at the strokes of the skates.
The composition is a mixture of 020-
kcritc. steal-in and paraffin. The pro-
portions are kept a secret, and also the
manner of mixing. ‘ 2
The advantage of the composition is
that it can be used upon either a hard
or a soft surface. For use in cold
weather it is allowed to harden. It Is
then cut into blocks and laid upon the
Ice. The blocks are melted together
into One sheet by having liquid was
poured between them. Finally there
is one smooth, broad. flawless surface
presented. -
The beauty of this arrangement is
that the. wax preserves the ice from
the sun and keeps it hard. Ice can
scarcely melt except in case of a per-
sistent thaw. Even should It do so,
the wax blocks float and there Is no
danger from the water beneath. A
slight sinking of the surface along the
edge of the lake Is the only indication
of the'melting of the iée beneath—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
'Typewritor Prism.
The connection between typewriting
and political science may not be very
clear. but one clever inventor has
joined them in a useful invention. By
means of it the writing of a typewrit-
er is made continuously visible to the
operator. The principal part of the
device consists of a prism of pure op-
tical glass as long as the line to
be printed. It is carefully ground and
polished, and is fastened to the can
riage of the machine beneath the im-
pression roller. Two of Its three sides
are flat, and the third Is a strong cy-
lindrical convex curve. The curved
side Is in view of the operator, and
the writing is visible on its surface.
Not only Is it perfectly reflected, but
the writing is presented right side up,
