TtlK roiVMK OF CttlCULATlOS.
Ono of the arguments of the free
Mlvor mon la thnt the supply of money
la not. Biifllciont to do the business of the
country. They put this forth among the
declarations of the Chicago convention
and there can bo no doubt that It la an
inlluontlnl argument with tnilllona of
pooplo. Bollof In the efficacy of an
abundant currency to crcalo wealth and
business prosperity has boon n dominant
financial heresy from the beginning of
thu government. Because rich countries
have moro circulating medium -than
poor ones It is Jlloglcnlly Inferred that
all that IB needed to make a
country rich la to give it plenty
of money , no matter of what kind. The
original colonies went through various
phases of tills delusion , omitting such
quantities of paper irionoy that at the
close of the war of the revolution it had
liltlo moro value than confederate scrip
at the oloso of the rebellion. The coun
try has since experienced numerous
financial collapses , all preceded by an
excessive is'suo of currency.
According to the ata'tcmont of circula
tion just issued by the Treasury depart
ment the per capita on August 1 , based
on an estimated population of 07,000,000 ,
was $24.02. The general stock ot
money issued is given as amounting
to $2,213,008,049 , , , of which ? : il2,800,02 : ]
la In the treasury , leaving as the amount
In circulation 31,701,090,017. For twenty
ycara the per capita of circulation has
been Jiighor than on August 1 of this
year but once before , in 181)2 ) , but then
the estimated population was less by at
least 2,000,000. , , Ono of the most prosperous -
porous periods this country has known
was Ootwccn 1871) ) and 1883. Tlioro was
no lack of money folt. Tlio supply was
sufllcicnt not only to 1111 the treasury ,
but to meet the demands of commerce
and nn extraordinary busiucsa activity
followed by very high prices. Yet the
average per capita circulation dur
ing that period was only § 20.01. In
the period ofrom July , 1890 , to'
the present , a period of great monetary
stringency , the average per capita cir
culation has been $2.1.(5 ( , > , thus demon
strating' that thcro may bo hard times
and scarce money with the most abund
ant circulation. With the single ex
ception of Franco the United States has
more circulation per capita than any
other of the great commercial nations
of thp world. According to the latest
trustworthy data the per capita circula
tion in the United Kingdom of Great
Britain is S19.34. Of this , $14.49 is gold ,
circulating "freely among the people.
Of pilvor there is only $2.03 and of
paper $2.24. The per capita circulation
in Germany is still less , being only $17.50 ,
Franco has a seemingly largo per
capita circulation , $41.07 , but of this
$17.95 consists of silver which was coined
prior to 1873. while silver inalnta'ned '
its relative intrinsic value to gold. The
finances of Franco are steadied and made
secure by the possession of at least $800-
000,000 , in gold , furnishing a per capita
circulation in gold coin alone of $20.52.
Moro than half of its depreciated silver ,
a total of $700,000,000 , lies Idly In the"b
Bank of Franco , where it is likely to
remain unused. The disastrous panic
of 1837 followed a period of unbric
died issues of state bank currency -
roncy and' the equally damaging
panic of 1873 was the direct
result of speculation and overtrading
induced by the greenback era. Taking
the example of other great commercial
nations which the free silver people ,
however , propose to ignore and It is
plain that there is no good ground for
the claim that our currency is insuffln
ciont for the wants of business.
It is not an inadequate supply of our-
roncy but the reckless abuse of credit
which is chiefly responsible for the crisis
through which the country is passing ,
An inflation , of the volume of currency ,
whether with silver or paper , with the
certainty of Its ultimate depreciation ,
could not help matters. What is needed
to restore financial eotifldonco is legislac
tion that will insure the maintenance of
the currency wo have on a sound and
stable basis , making provision at the
same time for Increasing it as the
growth of population and business shall
demand , and removing for years to como ,
if possible , the danger of a change of
standard.
owinixo.
The oillcors nnd directors of the
World's firir little dreamed of the trouble
which they wore preparing for thorn-
solves when they began the agitation for
opening the great exposition upon every
day of the week. When a compara
tively insignificant stockholder , in an
ticipation of the injunction proceedings
that wore being' pressed in the federal
court to insure Sunday closing , sue-
ccoded in securing' an ardor from ono of
the state courts restraining the direc
tory from closing the gates on Sundays ,
every body applauded the aol as showing
n commendable cunning. Every ono
connected with the exposition was so
eager to have the grounds kept open to
the public that their enthusiasm scarcely
know bounds when the decision of Chief
Justice Fuller established their right to
pursue their long cherished plans. In
the general jubilation the injunction
granted by Judge Stein dropped com
pletely out of sight and the directors
hold thuir- breath ( n expectation of
enormous Sunday receipts.
If the financial results of Sunday open
ing had turned out nil that had been ex
pected or had even proven sulllolont to
justify the procedure , no further legal
complications could have arisen oxoopt
perhaps in relation to the return of the
money advanced conditionally by '
congress , Sunday opening ended 'yo
financial failure and rather than Iinvo
the expenditure for that day exceed the
receipts , thu plausible excuse that the
people did not want to attend the fair 10m
Sundays was conjured up to justify u re
versal of the previous decision. The
gates to the White City wore closed on
July 23. The fact that they wore
opened again a week later indicated that
the directors had gotten the wind of an
impending calamity and that calamity
soon appeared in the form of several
generous fines Imposed by Judge Stoiu
int.
for the vloluton of the order of his court.
The aggregate tines amount to $5,750 and
if that rate is to be the minimum , the
directors dlsnloyed excellent judgment
in ordering the gates to bo opened on I
Sunday lust. The judge has evidently |
matlo the seriousness of contempt In his
court depend upon the magnitude of
the operations Involved in the judicial
order. Ho allowed tlio directors who
wore fined an appeal from hU decision ,
but It is unlikely that they will venture
to again order the gates closed unless
that appeal results in overruling the
judgment that imposed the fines. Sun
day closing at the price of $0,750 per
day la altogether too expensive a luxury
for oven the pampered World's fair di
rectors. The prospects for continuing
Sunday opening are at present exceed
ingly bright.
DAxannous
Once more a coroner's jury summoned
to Investigate the death of a man
wantonly sacrificed to the deadly rail
road crossing has returned a vordlct
that no blame attache ! * to any ono in the
matter. It was developed during the Inquest -
quest that the accident occurred shortly
af tor 0 o'clock in the evening , at which
hour the Huffman retires from his post
of duty. The railway authorities ovi'
tlontly proceed upon the theory that
whllo n Hag of warning is necessary In
the daytime , people crossing the tracks
nt night , when it is more ditlicnlt to see
the passing trains , require no further
protection than is afforded them by
their own eyes and ears. If it is neces
sary to kcop u man at a crossing in order
to protect life nnd property previous to
0 o'clock it appears to bo indefensible
carelessness to withdraw such protec
tion just at a time when it is most
needed.
The condition of the railway crossings
in this city is a monaco to the safety of
the community. Unprotected by gates
of any description , pedestrian and driver
arc allowed to enter upon the tracks ,
nnd oven whou trains nro passing no
efforts are made to stop persons approaching
preaching until they are within a few
yards of the danger line. At some
points the grades are so deep as to pre
vent pedestrians from obtaining a clear
view of the field until they are practi
cally uion the brink of the precipice.
A situation of this kind would not long
bo tolerated In other cities. Everywhere
gates are required in the larger munici
palities at all crossings over which
heavy trafllc is maintained , and flagmen
are required to be present at all hours
of ! the day and night. It would seem
ordinarily to bo to the interest of the
railways to provide pj-opor safeguards
asi such places and thus to avoid the pos
sibility of damage suits consequent upon
accidents. Hero , however , they prefer
tcst save the present expense and to as
sume the risk of fighting litigation to
the courts of last report. The lives of
the persons using tlje crossings cut no
figure whatever in their calculations.
fiCl long as exonerating verdicts of the
coroner's jury are so easily obtainable ,
no adequate provision will bo made by
the railways in this connection until
compelled to do so by the public author-
tios.
TARIFF ItBVltilOX 111' CuMMlSSlOX.
The plan of having the tariff revised
by a commission , to be composed of prac
tical business mon and political economists -
omists , their work to bo subject , of
course , to the approval of congress , is
not now. There was a tariff commission
appointed in 1882 and it reported a bill
to congress which by many was regarded
ns a very good measure , but it received
hardly any consideration from congress ,
*
The measure reported by the commtsn
slon provided for a reduction of duties
of about 20 per cent , but it was
rejected and a bill passed which did
not make so largo a reduction of duties ,
Thus ] the work of the commission was
practically j to no purpose and the time
and expense involved wasted. There
is no reason to suppose that another
tariff commission would have any bettor
success.
Doubtless most people will conclude
on first thought that a body composed of '
practical business men and learned
economists , free from political and par-
tisan inllucnces , could make a much
more judicious revision of the tarill than
u committee of politicians necessarily
more or less under partisan influence.
It seems reasonable to assume
this t , but , if it bo admitted , the
difilculty is that congress will
not abdicate its function of tariff mak
ing. The mon who will compose the
ways and means committee of the house
of representatives cannot bo induced to
believe that they are not as well quali
fied as any other sot of men to frame a
tariff bill , and however admirable a
measure a commission might present' it ,
would not bo accepted. When it was
suggested soruo months ago that con
gress bo called together to create a com
, mission , the proposal found very fowsup-
porters among the democratic roprojon-
tativorf. They may generally have
thought this an insufficient reason for
calling congress together , and BO indeed
It would have been , but a stronger con
sideration than this was tho-fooling that
the duty of revising the tariff according
to democratic views could only bo prop
erly and safely committed to thu men
chosen by the people for this duty.
There can bo no reasonable fault found
with this view. The party in control of
itn
congress is committed by the platform
on which it was elected to u certain
policy regarding the tariff. It lias de
clared that protection is u fraud and 3a
robbery and without constitutional
warrant ; that the government has no
right to levy duties except for reve
nue. This position of the party
must bo borne in mind in revising the
tariff , which would not be done by tea
commission. The suggestion of such a
body to revise the tariff , which is again
made , is not , therefore , likely to bo
heeded. The administration has on >
hand a measure framed by a committee
of the Tariff Reform league , and it will
perhaps bo able to give valuable as-
folutanco to the ways atid moans commit
tee in this way , but this Is doubtless t13
far as congress will go in seeking 13t
t10
Bide aid in the matter of revising the
tariff. At any rate it is entirely safe to
say that there will be no tariff commis ,
sion.
POTTAWATTAMIK county republicans
como out squarely with a resolution of
tholr convention favoring such a modification
11in
cation of the present prohibitory law in
force in Iowa as will permit to
counties , in which a majority so ox-
presses Itself by ballot , to inaugurate xa
system of high licence. A nolioy of this
kind , they say , w , | } , place the saloon in
legal subordination ; in localities where
the existing lawibiliioporatlvo. No ono

cating liquors , some kind of regulation
remains an absolute necessity. As yet
no belter device has boon invented for
this purpose than the restriction of the
liquor traffic by means of high license.
The success of high license in other
states ought to commend that system to
the consideration of Iowa legislators
without respect to political party.
WK REMKMIIKR the cry that arose dur
ing the last presidential'campaign that
t3rovor Cleveland was hotter than his

Till : serious problem which most con
cerns the west at the present time is the
question of securing sufficientfunds to
move the Immense crops of small grain
to the markets in the cast. The crop
movement requires largo sums of money
every year and heretofore the banks
have advanced the necessary funds with
alacrity. At the present time , however ,
the banks are declining to advance the
needed cash and the grain mon are seri
ously embarrassed. In the emergency
it is likely that the farmer and the
grain men will be compelled to adopt
some plan of mutual credit by which
the grain can bo'lnovotl wltnout the
report to cnsh payments at the time of
delivery to the olqyator.

stitutionality of the now maximum freight
rate law , but the real purpose of which is
aimed to acfo.it all its provisions and pur
poses. The injunction is ut the instance of
shoroholdora nud restrains the railroad com
panies , the State Board of Transportation
nnd countv attorneys from putting the maxi
mum freight rate law into effect. Wo wish
they had tried it , inasmuch as the multitude
of Nebraska people want It. If it would prove"
to bo a good thing wo nil wunt it. If it
would prove to bo a bad thing wo would soon
find it out and could then get relief from the
supreme court. As the case now stands the
now freight law hangs on the court hook
and nobody can toll when it will bo taken
down.

The population of the states and territories'
producing silver is a little over 1,000,000 , or
ono-ajxty-flfth jurt of the total population
of tlio country. The total popular vote of
the country in IS'JJ was 12.154.542. The vote
of the silver slates and territories was ono-
tlftioth of the total vote ; tlio vote of the
states separately was less than ono seven
tieth of the tola ! voto. The electoral vote of
the silver status was but Kl out of 444 , or
loss than onc-tbirty-tbird of the whole. To
hear the vociferous declamation , the stormy
lie harangues , the lurid menaces nnd the furi
ous denunciation of the shoutcrs nnd briwl-
ers this week , u person who know no better
might suppose that they constituted the
vastly greater majority instead of the in-
signitlcanlly smaller minority of the popula
6t
tion and the voters.

ho will force n brief nnd most direct policy
upon congress. It will bo this : Kepeal the
silver net without condition ; adjourn ut once
und give the country nchnnco to settle down
before talcing up the tariff.
And on the repeal of the silver net every
senator nnd representative who believes In
honest money and in putting an end to the
panic ought to unite without regard , to
political adulations. Drop partisanship.
