manner and Is launched up..n the coin.it y
as an unanimous agreement among bank-
ers. Tn the report of the spc-ial com
mittee of the American Bankers' a '.n
tlon proposing this measure It 1 declared:
"That the present volume of bank notes Is
wra.lly Irresponsive t tne demand of
commerce. It does not expand with the
need of currency In the crop moving pe
rlM. reusing a stringency; nor contract
when the use for currency are less ex

and in that case all the benefits the

The magnitude of our present stock of
money is the wonder of the world, both for
volume and per capita. Conired with
Great Britain, the only country with ahiih

an rrticle published In the New York

connection, lie says

that the use for money at certain periods

I snld that this committee's report was
prepared In a remarkable manner the
facta will Justify. I think, the assertion.
In order doubtless to be rid of a question
which tai constantly "bobbing uo." the
convention of the American Hankers1 as
sorlMior, hHd let year voted the nnoolnt
rsent of a committee to report upon the
currency rytestion at the next Fespion. This
committee presented lis report nt the con
vention lately held in 6t Iu:is. Tliere
waj no possibil'ty cf this coinmittee's
reenmmendattona Ix-ing Bdopted and th
result would indicnte that tlic main Inten
tion wns In some ay to get the asaocla-
tlori committed to the general nronositlon
i 1n such a manner as to have the Hnpear
ance of unanimity. In the discussion of

The only ground on which the Americans

Is that they number SO. 000, 000 against our
41, 000, 000. In every other respect the
advantage is with us. Our foreign trade

theirs.

Its stock of money is concerned, ought to

It is aeseried that there is no Intention
to inflate the currency that the Jlan Is
only to provide elasticity to our existing
money. But there Is no proposal to retire
a single dollar of this money as the other
is Issued.
It is true tliat the proposed bill limits

It will be seen from the above that with
no considerable change In cash the de

from June ! to November 10, 1!H, they
incr'ated about 4C,U'.iu.ti. In both case
there was a large Increase in loans. j
From this It can be easily seen that the
reaerves of the New York banks may be
vitally affected, without the bani.a parting
with any cash. A large increase in loans. ,
as a rule, is attended by a coincident in
crease In deposits not of batiks, but in
tlie accounts of the parties concerned in
the loans.
This increase !n deposits demands urujer
the law Increased cash, and liei.i it fol
lows that the banks' reserves Lcco;ne
strained. Currency undoubtedly Is fre
quently sent to the country, but this de
mand does not necessarily affect the loans.
If It affected anything It would be the de
posits, and the lowering of deposits would
also lower the reserve required.
This comparison, I think, will confirm the
popular Impres'lon which has long existed,
that the extraordinary high interest ratea
which sometimes prevail, oot only in the
fall, but at other periods of the year in
New York, are due to conditions iiecullar
to that market and not to the ordinary
business demands of the country.
The volume of securtics depending al
most scleiy upon New Tork for the sup
port of their current prices is enormously
large.

clared In a sermon to a congregation of

cident with this utterance was that of the
Rev. Frank N. Brown of Brooklyn, preach

Sunday schools should have their adver

as the modern mercantile establishments

It Is estimated that the Vnited Rtates

sidering how much has been stolen or

This land was acquired by the government
as part of the Louisiana purchase and by
other similar acquisitiona. It was paid for
by the people of the nation. The question
now arises, what shall be done with It
Shall it t turned over to the trusts for

to the nation, or shall it be husbanded and
made to return a much as possible?
The Interstate Commerce commission Is
prepared to recommend to the president
that this ecu land, which the nation still
owns, shall neither be given away nor sUd.
In the opinion of the ouninii.aion the gov

the land, thu making It a permanent
