THE USE OF MONEY
its Importance In tho Transaction
of Business.
I
I
An Estimate of the Amount of Currency
io Circulation in the United State«
—The Extent of Bank­
ing Facilities.
It is a common saying that money Is
the ruling element in the life of the
I American people. Our foreign critics
have urged it against us, and we too
often are apt to give a tacit assent to
the charge. But while, in reality, the
accusation of being a a Nation given up
to the pursuit and capture of dollars is
I
manifestly unfounded, there am certain
elements in our social condition which
would tend to give color to such a view,
at least in the eyes of those unacquaint­
ed with the real conditions of our social
existence. The United States, taking
it for all in all, says a writer in Once a
Week, contains the most radically in­
dustrial and commercial people in the
world. In no other land is idleness
counted such a sin, and nowhere else
does the force of example and the
pressure of public opinion unite with
such force to make every man, even
every woman, it might be said, a worker.
Our millionaires in thoir social life may
imitate the customs of tho aristocracy
of Europe. Hut even the Vanderbilts,
Astors and Goulds are workers. They
do not, as is the case with the wealthy
classes of Europe, commit the charge of
their vast possessions to the care of
stewards and agents. They give their
business interests a close, personal
supervision, and it is the rule to find in
the third and fourth generation of
American families of wealth, energetic,
successful and busy men of affairs.
Eliminate the offensive sense contained
in the word money, or better still,
translate it to its real significance—that
is, business—and the alleged accusation
is not only true but is something of
which our people can be proud.
Hut, leaving aside this exceptional fact
in our National life, that we have really
no leisure class and very little need for
one, there are some curious circum­
stances in the relations of the American
people to this article of money. We
talk about it a great deal, and we of
course are forced to use it at every turn
of the existence of each individual
among us. Hut, after all, it is only a
symbol. It is the measure with which
tilings of value are compared, and tlio
symbol which represents their commer­
cial status. Money is the counters
with which the great and exciting gamo
of business is played. One hears of tho
money market, and learns from time to
time that the commodity it deals in is
plentiful, or the reverse. It is even
urged that there is not enough money
to satisfy the actual requirements of
the country, and Congress is called
upon to meet the need by providing
additional money. Hut the fact re­
mains that apart from its use in retail
business for satisfying tho Immediate
requirements of our vast population,
actual money istfiot the largest item in
the world of business. The largest
i transactions are uniformly effected by
another set of counters, which repre­
sent money, just as money represents
value, either intrinsic or based on tho
credit of the Government.
The actual money of all kinds, metal­
lic and paper, in circulation in tho
United States at this time is near a
billion and three-quarters of dollars.
Of this the United States Treasury gen­
erally holds ubout two hundred and
fifty million as reserve and for other
purposes, while the banks and other
financial institutions scattered through­
out tho country are obliged to hold
permanently probably double that
amount. The actual mom y in circula­
tion in the hands of the people would
therefore seem to I m 1 close to a round
billion. But even allowing for tho
freest circulation of this stock of cur­
rency among fifty millions of people, the
amount seems very small in comparison
with the aggregate value of the busi­
ness transactions of the country. The
real fact of the matter i.s that the bulk
of our business is curried on through
the highly artificial medium afforded
by the use of banks and the facilities
which they afford in the way of drafts
and checks. Every one knows that it
is unusual to pay amounts of over a few
dollars
in
actual
money.
All
the great transactions of commerce
and speculation are effected through
banks. They furnish the means by
which the use of money is economized,
and the limited amount of available cir­
culating medium is matlc to perform
many times the work it could do by
itself.
Moreover, there is a means by which
the extent of thia work can I k 1 guessed.
In all of the large cities of the country,
the banks have formed associations
known as clearing houses.
A great
deal of their business naturally consists
of the receipt on deposit of checks
drawn on other banks. Now, to collect
such checks in each instance would in­
volve endless work, and necessitate the
transferof vast amounts of money every
day. The clearing house is an agency
to which all the banks of a given city
are able to compare the amounts of
each others' checks in their hands. and
to effect a settlement of the balances
only. Statistics arc therefore available
from all the clearing houses to show
the amount of such exchanges. The
figures from forty cities show that last
year the total exchanges of checks
amounted to over fifty billions of dol­
lars, while the balances paid in con­
nection with them foot up over six bil­
lions Thia ot itself «hows a mana of
business
transaction* fifty
times
larger than the available supply of
currency.
Indeed, it does not In­
clude the checks drawn directly on
tanks, nor a vast volume of busi­
ness through drafts and other com­
mercial methods, that supplement tho
economy in use of money, displayed by
the clearing house returns. It would
not seem to be overestimating the mat­
ter to put the total volume of the coun­
try's business somewhere close to one
hundred billions in smouat, and it can

ROBBING THE MAILS»
the Ingenious 1'lan of a Nervy rost-
Omce Thief.
“We get some pretty tough cases,”
said an old post-office inspector, "but it
has been my fortune to run down every
case oh which I was set to work."
“What was tho most ditlieult case yotl
ever handled?” asked the reporter of
the Cincinnati Times-Star!
“It happened while I was stationed at
Utica, N. Y., about seven years ago,”
replied tho inspector. “Many letters
containing valuables had been missed!
and by dint of hard work we managed
to trace the job down to one clerk, a
shaved-faccd young fellow of about
twenty-two yeRrs. lie was a clerk who
distributed the letters into the boxes of
the carriers.
“As I said, we managed to get this
far on the case and then I set m.v trap.
I had a decoy letter containing a twenty
dollar gold piece mailed from u country
town in Connecticut to a prominent
stove dealer in Utica. The letter failed
to reach the carrier promptly, aud 1 felt
we had our man solid at last.
“I waited for him until the dinner
hour and as he came out of the office
accosted him. He came with me, and,
look as closely as I might, I failed to
detect any signs of uneasiness in his
features; they were perfectly immobile.
He walked with me into the office of
the postmaster and submitted to a
thorough search, but no trace of the
letter or twenty dollar gold piece was
found on his person.
“To say I was dumfounded is draw­
ing it mildly. He appeared to be very
indignant. But, whether I was right or
wrong at the time, the petty robberiis
came to a sudden stop. No more com-
plaints were heard of for a month.
Then they began again. This time I was
bound 1 would not fail, so 1 set a watch
on my man.
“Ono day when I was about to give
up the case in despair I noticed the fel­
low tearing up an envelope and drop­
ping it to tlie tlixir. When he had gone
I picked up tho scraps of paper and
after a hard job managed to piece it. I
was disheartened when I saw that the
envelope hud been addressed to himself.
I was about to walk away when a
though’ struck me.
"I came down tho next morniog be­
fore the young clerk camo to work, and
stationed myself behind n letter rack,
free -from observation, but in such a
position that I could see tl.e fellow's
every action. I saw him take several
stamped and addressed envelopes from
his pocket and walk over to the stamp­
ing table and cane T the stamps. Dur­
ing the course of the morning I saw the
fello v slip four letters inside of as many
enveiopes aud seal the envelopes. Then
I knqw my suspicions were ccrrcct. I
went to the carrier who cihried tho
letters to the man’s home and secured
the four letters addressed to the fellow
himself.
“ ‘ILnVe you carried many letters like
this?' I asked him.
“ ‘Yes sir,' the carrier said. ‘I carry
four or five a day.'
"Then I called the fellow into my
office and told liix-i we had determined
to have the mail of the clerks delivered
ut the office to lighten tho duties of
the carriers. 1 then told him that I
had four letters for him, and handed
him the missives I ha I ree< ived from
the post-man. The fellow turned pule,
n:ul was on the verge of fainting when
I asked him to open and reiul tlie letters
in my presence.
“With trembling l ands he did so, and
inside the envoi >1» s addressed to him­
self I found four valuublc I tters ad­
dressed to a big wholesale house, ite
broke down nnd confessed that he hud
been stealing for about six mouths and
that during that period he had ab
str:i<-.ed nearly fifteen hundred dollar»
from business lc.ters. He had spent
the money in gambling."

By ills manners and ways of life hr.
became the most popular man Ml
France, so that when he gained hi . pre­
sentation to the King his future was as­
sured. As lie passed through the streetfl
of Paris he was followed by admiring
eyes nnd cheered loudly by enthusiastic
voices, says the Century, A contempo-
rary writes: “A friend of mine paid
something for a place at a two-pair-of-
stairs window to see him pass by iu his
coach, but the crowd was so great that
ho could but barely say he saw him.
He was the Frenchman's embodiment
of the ideal citizen, republican, philoso­
pher and friend. He completely cap­
tivated and captured the people of
France, whom he perfectly understood,
and he well knew 'that a popular man
becomes soon more powerful than pow­
er itself.'” Condorcet said: "It was an
honor to have seen him. People re­
peated what they had heard him say.
Every fete which lie consented to re­
ceive, every house where he consented
to go, spread in society new admirers.
Who became so many partisans of the

In a recent visit to Boston I was very
much interested iu observing the va­
rious kinds of weeping trees to be seen
in tlint vicinity. Many that arc not at
all common, yet quite hardy withal, arc
to be seen planted in permanent loca­
tions and growing thriftily, soys a
writer in Vick's Magazine. The finest
specimen 1 have ever wen stands close
to the lake near the bridge, in Boston
Public Garden. It is n< urly or quite
three feet in diameter, with a stem of
three feet where it brandies and spreads
its magnificent drooping spray over a
circle of seventy-five or eighty feet, it*
height is about fifty Let. A drizzling

A YELLOW FEVER VICTIM.
He Escaped the Bullets, But tho Scourge
Overtook llliu.
In the year of the last yellow fever
epidemic In the South, says the New
York Tribune, one of the first men to
catch the disease nt. a summer resort on
the gulf was a tall, rather heavily-built
man-, whose eye was dafli and keen,
and who wore a very fine gray imperial.
He was a strikingly hendsome man,
with his military carriage and his
strong face. But hi:.manner was grave
and chilling and ho made few acquaint«
anccs. Staying at tho big hotel was a
man who, in earlier life, bad lived iu the.
West, but Who shortly after the war
had married a Southcfti widow, who
owned a sugur plantation on the Mis- „
sissippi river, lie knew Major Walls,
the stranger, and ou the evening tvhcu W
the Major died told the following story -Q
to a group of men who sat oil One of ™
the hot«’ verandas:
"When I first saw Wells he was a
Deputy United States Marshal in Ne­
vada. He was so cool and daring that
he seemed absolutely indifferent to
death. Ho would calmly walk into a
bar-room filled with reckless gamblers
and desperate outlaws, pick out his
man, scarcely saying a word, and march
him out the door without placing his
hand on a weapon, or holding himself
in readiness for an attack.
“Coming down tho street one day t
heard rapid firing, and looking up saw
Wells standing behind tho stump of a
tree (the stumps still stood in the streets
where the trees had been felled) and
three mon blazing away at him. Wells
was as rigid as a statue, his face a little
white, but unmoved, lie. was a sure
shot with a revolver, and 1 expected to
see him draw liis six-shooter and drop
his men in one, two. three order, but ho
did not stir. Fora mon» n* th«
rained around there, and tkg*■MjjflV''’
of the shooting suddenly jec-aaeu. AM
three
emptied t
At that instant, qui fl< nUT
with u tiger bound, Wells leaped be
the three men, and, whipping out
revolver, with a swift stroke of his
covered them. They nil “*""«4 J
still. The whole thing took leas
than it docs to draw a long breath.
Then he grimly walk. <1 tlm thfW 4$l
tlui.i off and he saw them aaMMy
locked up.
"I met him a few hours later leaning
carelessly over a bar, as easy anil un­
concerned as if he Iviil never heard the
crack of a six-shooter.
“ 'Hoi'll heavens, Wells,* I said to
him, ‘v. liy did yon let those fellows
blaze away at you without roi irniuga
shot? The chances were fifty to one
agaik .t you.’
"There was a quiet smile on Id , lips
when lie answered that word* can not
describe, and in his eye wusthulu
of a man who loved a good jok^H
“ 'There was just one balM
chamber of my revolver,' he saiifP
thought I nl.ght need it later.’ ’
“And there is a man," sa
speaker, after a slight puusc, 'J
fled the bullets of dcsperadl
years, anil who went down likcM
before the fever. ”

Money In n Meteor.
There is in the office of the ‘ler-
chunts' National Bank, of Kans» . < ite,
says the Times of that city, a fragment
of a meteor which has a peculiar histo
ry. A farmer in Western Kansan had
borrowed more money on hht form than
he found himself able to repay. While
meditating over his bad fortune, but.
with the usual energy of the JLnsa.l
farmer, still tilling his »oil, ha turnci
up this meteoric stone and examined it,
but dis« overcd nothing peculiar in its
make-up until a relative from the East,
who woo visiting him, noticed it end
told hlia it was <f great value. The
farmer communicated with I’rvf John
Hay, State Geologist, st Jnnctkn > tty,
