The statement us to all ment dollar Is that they dont have other outstanding money is based upon government fiat in them. The mon the original issue, the same as in the who make them are evidently genuine The efforts of the treasury depart- ment to make it appear that the volume of circulation is lare and increasing requires much cooking of figures. For example, in its s.ateiuent, it says case of greenbacks, says the Silver No allowance Is made In any of the calculations of the treasury department for wear, loss and destruction of money in circulation, which la always very great The treasury statement Bhows that there was on the 1st of April, 1898, $582,129,742 of gold coin in circulation, after deducting 147,256,076 of gold reserve in the treasury. The reserves in the banks are no more in circulation than the reserves in the treasury. The last comptroller's report states that the reserves In the banks at the end of the last fiscal year were This vast sum is treaied as money in circulation, hut so far as the people are concerned It might as well be circulating in Germany or Russia as lying idle in the banks. It is not in circulation ; it Is held as reserve. The entire reserve in the banks, according to the Bame report, at the end of the last fiscal year was 628,200,529. This should be subtracted from represented to be In circulation by the treasury statement, leaving 1,127,858,116 in circulation, provided the treasury is correct os to the amount of gold In the United States and is also correct in Its assumption that none of the currency which has been in circulation has been lost, but that it is all Intact and still In circulation. First, let us see as to the amount of gold In circulation. Subtract the amount of gold held as reserves in the banks, to wit, 242,353,002, from the 582,129,742 represented as being in circulation, and we have 339,776,738. Does anybody believe that there is that amount of gold in actual circulation among the people outside of the banks? There are only 387,770,898 outstanding of silver certificates. According to the secretary of the treasury there is almost as much gold outside of the treasury and outside of the banks, in actual circulation among the people as there is of silver certificates. We ask our readers how much gold circulates In their particular neighborhood, and how does the amount of gold coin in circulation compare with the amount of silver certificates in circulation as far as their experience goeB. The secretary has nothing to show but a guess as to the amount of gold outside of the reserves in the banks, and we do not believe there is 339,776,738 of gold in actual circulation among the people, and nobody believes it A hundred millions, in our judgment, would be an excessive circulation. A hundred millions subtracted from the pretended leaves 239,776,738, which we do not believe exists in the country. Subtracting 239,776,738 from the which remained after the bank reserves were deducted, leaves 988,081,378. At least another hundred millions should be subtracted for wear and loss of greenbacks and other moneys In circulation, which would leave 888,081,378. Divide this amount by our population, estimated to be 74,122,-00and we have less than twelve dollars per capita. It is unnecessary to become Involved in figures to ascertain how much money there is in circulation per capita, because everybody knows that the volume of money Is too small, which is shown by falling prices. We ascertain whether there Is sufficient volume of money to do the business of the country by knowing whether general prices are stable. If they are rising the volume of money is Increasing. If they are falling, the volume of money is inadequate. Our main object, however. In calling attention to the matter is to show the desperate straits to which the treasury department is driven to make a false showing to the people.

Our carpenters build magnificent mansions, with pillared walls, and mosaic floor, and os soon as their work is done they pick up their tools and leave, and never go there any more. Our mechanics make electric lights and use dangerous kerosene at home; they build carriages and go afoot; they manufacture pianos and do not own a tin whistle. Our miners dig up gold and die poor; they live in treacherous coal mines, and lack fuel in December. Our formers raise grain and lack food; export wool and cotton and lack overcoats In winter; sell cattle to pay off the mortgage and lack meat.

The proposi Milwaukee Sentinel: tion that a reduction In passenger transportation is good business policy for railway companies In general Is not merely a theory, but Is borne out by actual experience. It applies both to street railways and to steam railways. The street railway companies of Detroit and Washington, for Instance, are firmly convinced of the advantage derived from lower fares in swelling their receipts, as Is proved by the statements of their managers. So far as long distance railroads are concerned the movement for a reduction In fares finds one of its strongest arguments In the established fact that lower rates increase traffic.
