OUR BESf CURRENCY. Gotrerament Greenbacks and Treasury Notes. THE SATEGUAED8 OP BUSINESS. Imaiice mi Clrcnlatinf Note* 1* an Appropriate Fraction at the Gofcrameai The Proposi tion to Giro That Power t* Better than either silver certificate*, sliver dollars or national tank notes are the gov»smment green tacks and treasury noteii, which, ever since 1879, have been redeemed in gold by the treasury on demand and are therefore equivalent to gold for all practical purposes. Yet* strange to say, it is precisely upon these very best portions of our currency, next to gold, that the bitterest attacks are made. They are charged with being the sole cause of our financial troubles daring the past three years, with threatening the stability of our entire financial system and of perpetually compiling an increase of the interest bearing government debt Jt is noteworthy that all these attacks proceed either from officers of incorporated banket or from journalistic and oratorical advocates of the banking interest, who repeat with monotonous iteration that the issuing of paper currency is banking and that the gervernment Should get out of the banking business,” moaning that it should oease to provide the nation with paper tokens for use as money. .

As no argu ment this talk has no force whatever. Baking, as to its essentials, is as old as commerce itself,, and bank*' iog Institutions in Europe existed as early as the twelfth century; but the issue by banks of circulating notes was unknown till the Bank of Sweden commenced it io 1658. At this moment, out of the multitude of private and cor* porate banks in Europe,"only about adozen of any importance ate issuers of circulation, and there are thousands of suoh banks and bankers in this country. The issue of circulating notes, so far from being the business of “banking, is a mere unessential adjunct of it, and whether it is or is not banking is of no practical importance. It is a means of finishing a circulating medium, which, like the coining of metal, is a function much more appropriate <to the government than it is to private individuals and corporations. How mu£h better the government can perform it than any other agency has been conspicuously demonstrated by our. own experience during the past 17 years. Four times within that period4 the banks of the* j country, including the largest and | strongest among them, have virtually suspended payment, while the government has never failed to pay in gold upon demahdi every dollar of its obligations What would have happened if the attempt had been made to draw from t}ie banks the millions of gold we have lively exported to Europe it is fearful to contemplate. They would have gone down in universal insolvency long before they had! paid out half as much of ii as the government did, and they would have carried down with them the whole business community. The country has never appreciated at its real value the service which the government has rendered it in this respect, because it has accepted the service as a matter of course, not reflecting that only the vast superiority of national over in* [ dividual credit enabled the necessary gold to be procured when any other means would have been insufficient. As to the (barge that the issue of circulating notes by the government involves a perpetual sale of bonds and an : indefinite fu ture increase of the national interest bearing debt, only one word fitly characterizes it, and that is that it is a lie. The lie was first invented by President Cleveland, but il bas been taken up and repeated by bis subordinates and his partisans until too i many®simple minded citizens accept it as the truth. It was also not the least effective of the weapon used by the silverites in the recent presidential campaign, and its power for mischief was i derived entirely from the respectability j of its origin. The fact is that the bonds : sold by the present administration ostensibly to procure gold with which to ' redeem the legal tender notes were really sold to provide money for govern - | meat expenses which its revenues failed 1 to yield.

For this government money absolutely secured and at ail times convertible into gold it is proposed to substitute nobody knows exactly what Some people suggest that the legal tenuem first be funded into interest bearing bonds and that these bonds be made the basis of banking circulation at their par value. The change," if it oould be effected, would piactjcally result in the payment by the government forever of interest ou, my, $400, 000,000 bonds and leave us with a currency inferior to that which we have now. In case of a financial panic it would certainly not be redeemed by the banks issuing it, and it would be almost rare to fall to a discount in geld. If thevacunm created by the funding operation were not filled by bank notes, a contraction of the currency would ensue more destructive to business interests than the country has ever experienced. The suggestion has been made also that gold would come from abroad to replace the retired legal tenders, but the folly of this idea shows itself as soon as we consider what would be the effect of attempting to withdraw from other countries even one-quarter of the whole amount needed. Oqr recent importations of only §70,000,000 doubled- the rates of interest all over Europe, and what the importation of §400,000,000 would do imagination is powerless to depict Nor would the issue of bank circulation supply the place in the banks’ rosaries of the millions of legal tenders, they now hold for the purpose, sinoe the

——.... - . .'.- ‘ I banks could not ba allowed to count their ow^-oh|igatums as security for j As to the proposition that the few in-! corpora ted banks of the country shall l be allowed to issue currency on theit own unsecured credit and to any -amount that the public can be induced to accept, it is not worth serious consideration- The scheme in substance was submitted to congress two years ago by Secretary Carlisle at the instance of the Baltimore bankers and could not even get a recommendation from the oommittee of the whole of the house of representatives. The plain and obvious things to be ! done at present is to let our currency ! system alone and provide revenue j enough to meet the expenses of the gov- j eminent without reissuing the government notes which may happen to come in for redemption. The result would bo that people who want paper money for currency purposes would, as they are doing now, deposit gold in the treasury and take legal tenders in exchange for it Thus not only a maintenance of the gold reserve, but its increase, would be assured, and the so called “endless chain” would reverse its action and put j gold into the treasury instead of draw- | tag it out One thing may be depended j on, and that is that the American peo- ; ! pie will never consent to accept in placed of $400,000,000 Of government money $400,000,000 of bank notes and pay the banks into the bargain $12,000,000 a year forever for doing what it now gets done for nothing.—Matthew Marshall in New Yoft Sun. _5__ . & A BLACK ACCUSATION. j

The New York San Sajr» the International Agreement PI ante Was a Sabterfuge. The New York Sun is very severe on the Republican leaden when it declares that the “international agreement plank” in the St. Louis platform “was never of practical importance, nor was it intended to be. All that was meant by it was that, oat of deference to a j decaying but still widespread supersti- • tion, the Republican^ party was willing 1 to hear again what could be said for silver and to di9cnss, the currency question with other nations, but sense and experience forbade and forbid the idea that anything should Some of it ” * . I These are bitter words. The Sun has ! sent a great deal of hot shot into the ranks of the Republican party in times past and has often held it up to scorn, but here 'is a direct charge that the platform makers at St. Louis were I knaves, that they deliberately set a trap-to cause Republican bimetallists to vote for the gold standard^ while they supposed they were putting in their votes on the other side. Such scoundrelism sends men to the workhouse and the cbain(g£ng every day. Who told the tale? Has Platt or Lodge “peached, ” or has Hanna told some of the New York gold men that they need pot be uneasy about the bimetallic pledges under which Major McKinley was elected? The §un is evidently perfectly satisfied with the sources of its information. It soys “there isn’t going to be any bimetallism,” “gold alone is the standard, ” and mnch more ta the same effect The inference from The Sun’s charge is that Major McKinley has lent himself to the wretched fraud which it lays at the door of the St Louis convention. This is too dreadful for belief—McKinley getting the vast international bimetallist vote of the United States on a solemn assurance that he is with that cause, while all the time he was Becretly agreeing with the gold standard men that he was cheating and never intended that the promise to promote an international agreement should be kept! We cannot believe it. Some one has imposed upon The Sun.—Cincinnati Enquirer. EXPOSING THE GAME.

Th* Craftiness of the Republicans Is Cropping Out. “What saved the fight?” asks Senator Chandler in a letter to the Tippecanoe club of Manchester, N. H., disenssing the recent election, and he promptly replies, "The tariff issue. ” Daring the campaign the plea was patriotism. The country was urged to rally round the flag and save the United States from repudiation and dishonor. The horrors of anarchy were painted in lurid colors. Business men were told" that they were being pushed over the brink of disaster by the Democratic leaders. The tariff issue was laid on the shelf, and if anything was said about it the country was assured that McKinley and the Republican party had experience ed a change of heart and that nothing wonld be done with the tariff, save possibly to amend the present law to provide enough revenue. Now the tariff saved the oountry. All of those alleged attacks on national honor, the supreme court and the federal authority amounted to nothing. It is the mime sad story iff political foxiness that has marked the course of ; the masters of the Republican party for yean. Patriotism and the specter of . anarchism are handy devices of the ; cunning statesmen whd have milked Uncle Sam's cow for their eastern constituents. They serve to keep the western voters in line and to fool the cotwi try into doing their work. Chandler is exposing the “oen” game.—St. Douis Republic._ In Washington it is said that the preliminary arrangements for the inauguration have been made, but Mr. Hanna, who is now obliged to make an average of one denial a day. says nothing has been done, and that nothing will be decided till he goes to Washington. Mr. Hanna’s hand is still on the lever. — Cincinnati Enquirer. The protectionistn have yet to explain why, since the McKinley tariff did not 1 produce as much revenue as the present tariff, a return to McKinleyism would the revenue, r—Kansas City,

* * * The influence of the News was nerer shown to a greater advantage then in the election, two months' ago—when it defeated the entire republican county ticket and caused the democratic candidate for congress to run 129 votes behind the national democratic ticket in Pike county. * .:* News. , ’ . - All this blow and bluster is nothing more than a little wind work.
