county orders being at a dis- ! count of 18 per cent. Have we , not paid taxes enough to meet i all reasonable county expenses : promptly, spot cash, dollar for ■dollar? Neither fire nor floods have destroyed any of our coun■ty‘s property, no more public improvements than usual have i been made, yet our county revenue has been enormously increased and to-day we are out of funds. With thousands of dollars less county revenue than we are now collecting, for years, we managed to keep out of debt and make more public improvements than we are now making. Something is wrong.

Secretary Carlisle says: “No greater mistake could be committed than to assume that the present financial embarrassment is caused by an actual scarcity of money in the country, but that it is hoarded.” He farther says that “the true remedy is to restore confidence and credit and thus put the money now in the country in circulation again.” Now here are the facts taken from Carlisle’s own statement made for June, and the sworn statement of the banks for the part of fiscal year given in round numbers. Total amount of money in the country, $1,525,000,000, less amount held- in United States treasury, $525,000,000 leaving a balance of 81,000,000,000 in circulation and held by the banks. According to the bankers’ statements they hold deposits to the amount of $3,734,000,000. The law requires them to hold 25 per cent, in reserve to meet the demands of depositors. 25 per cent, of $3,734,000,000 is $933,000,000. Deduct this from the $1,000,000,000 outside the treasury and you have left in actual circulation $67,000,000 which is scarcely more than one dollar’ per capita. It looks mightily like there is some monumental lying done somewhere. Is it Carlisle? Or do the banks falsify their reports. If neither, how much confidence would the people have to have in order to do business on one dollar per capita?
