The fight on Gov. Bradley, of
Kentucky, is the same sort of a

It is but an excuse to cover up

At Once Supplied In Other Countries,
but Not In This Bed Tape, Cost and
Delay In Obtaining Currency Make Our
System Inelastic and Increase Kate of ,
Interest In August and September Bet
ter Banking and Currency Systems Alone
Can Bid Us of the Silver Question.
Secretary of the Treasury Windom
said in his treasury report for 1890:
In my judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
lack of elasticity. The demand for
money, in this country, is so irregular
that an amount of circulation which
will be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove so deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster.
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move
ment to market, in August and Septem
ber, annually cauBes a dangerous ab
sorption of money. The lack of a suffi
cient supply to meet the increased de
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interest."
How hard and inelastic is our present
unscientiflo currency system, or lack of
system, is apparent when a comparison
is made with the currency systems of
other countries. In a pamphlet recently
issued by the sound currenoy committee
of the Reform club Mr. L. Carroll Boot
illustrates the relative elasticity of 20
different banking systems in 16 different
countries. He says:
"The data secured includes weekly or
monthly statements of the outstanding
circulation of the leading bank currency
systems of the world. The period cov
ered in each case is the two years 184
and 1895. The method of preparation
of diagrams has been to take the mini
mum circulation of the period as a base
line and to reduce the amounts on other
dates to percentages of this. In this way
a common measure has been secured,
and comparison of one diagram with
another is facilitated."
We reproduce below three of Mr.
Root's diagrams which show in a strik
ing way the great difference in elasticity
of currencies in Scotland, Canada and
the United States.

These diagrams show that in Scotland
there is about SO per rent more of cur
rency in eirmlat ion in November than
in February. lu Canivls there is S3 per

counted for not by tho changing nerds
for currrury at diftVreut periods of tho
year, but by tbe sales of l'nitsl Statis
bonds, which made It couveuient for
banks to incroajie tbeir circulation. Mr.
Root thus explains tho changes in Can
ada and Scotland:
"For instaiKW, on comparing tho cir
culation of Canada and Scotland, tho
j first thing noticed is that ia Scotland

oome to call 'moving the crops.' Its
explanation may be found m the fact

conf ln, when payments are made

average iarmer has In his possession
during the six weeks following the sale
of his crop a much larger amount of
currency than during the rest of the
year. The result in the aggregate is an
extraordinary demand, such as that
which leads in Canada to an annual ex
pansion of 20 per cent in the bank cir
culation." Undoubtedly the needs for currency
in the United States change about as
much as in Canada, but the cost of buy
ing bonds at a high premium on which
notes can be issued only to 90 per cent
of their par value, the red tape neces-
sary to obtain these notes from the gov-
ernment and the tax on circulation
make a delay and cost in increasing the
circulation which practically prohibit
an increase until the need for such in-
crease is past. Therefore interest rates
in this country run up rapidly in Au-
gust and September without appreciably
affecting the supply of currency,
In Scotland and Canada the machinery
necessary to increase the supply of cur
rency is simple and is entirely in the
hands of the banks; hence the cost and
delay necessary are much less than with
us. Thus in Canada a few big banks
with numerous "branch banks" supply
all parts of the country with currency.
When more money is needed in any
province as in Manitoba when the
wheat crop is being harvested rates of
interest begin to rise. The profits of sup
plying currency in this province are in
creased, and immediately additional sup
plies of currency are sent from the big
banks in Montreal, Quebec or Toronto
to their branch banks in Manitoba. Thus
the cost of moving the crops is much
lower in Canada than in the United
States, where rates of interest go up and
down without materially changing the
supply of currency. Of course the farm
ers, through increased competition of
bidders, who obtain plenty of money at
low rates of interest and can afford to
pay high prices, reap most of the benefit.
There are other advantages connected
with " branch banks" which it is un
necessary to explain here. It is sufficient
to say that in Canada there is no silver
question to disturb business and occupy
the time of politicians and legislators.
It is not likely that we will have finan
cial peace until we greatly improve our
banking and currency systems.
Mr. Bryan on Equality.
In his speech at New York on Feb. 26
Mr. Bryan said: "If any person believes
a government should single out a few
people and give them advantages over
others, he docs not understand equality
under the law."
This is very true. But, in demanding
that silver mine owners be permitted to
take 60 cents' worth of bullion to the
treasury and have it stamped as (1, is
not Mr. Bryan advocating the very in
equality under the law which he re
bukes? Would not free coinage of silver
nt a fictitious ratio be to "single out a
few people and give them advantages
over others?" The owners of silver bul
lion in this country are very few indeed.
Again Mr. Bryan says, ' 'No just gov
ernment ought to enable or permit one
citizen to injure another citizen."
True. But would not the government
do tins if it enabled one class of citizens,
the debtors, to discharge their obliga
tions to another class, the creditors, in
dollars worth only half as much as were
the dollars loaned? If the government
were to make wampum or conch shells
legal tender for the payment of debt,
would it not enable one class of citizens
to injure another class? And would it
not do tbe same in depreciating tbe cur
rency of the country to a 60 cent basis?
The people so decided last November,
The Only Good Paper Currency.
All propositions for the retirement of
the legal tenders and the abolition of
the treasury reserve as a feature of our
currency system are coupled with the
demand for a banking system that would
afford a largo note circulation, one more
responsive to the fluctuating demands of
business and one whose reserve would be
maintained by banks which would be
compelled by the conditions of their
existence and by law to protect their
notes, and which, through thoir discount
business, have the necessary machinery
for increasing their reserves or decreas
ing their liabilities. Such a banking sys
tem would provide the paper currenoy
wit h the American people would rather
handle in their daily transactions and
tarry about as pocket money than specie.
