There is a universal demand for currency reform, for the adoption of oine system which will supply the country with the currency needed tot the transaction of its business, Hiid prevent glutting in some sec tions and famine in others, which result from th present system, which in the language of the Phila delphia Bulletin, from which we quote below, is ''neither scientific uor sensible." In commenting upon the large amouut of money locked up in the Treasury vaults at Wash ington .it says j "The rapid congestion of cash iu the Treasury which is not needed there, but which is needed in the channels of trade, calls attention once more to a serious defect in our currency system. "It now seems probable that the .government revenues for the current year mil considerably exceed the .advance estimates of of Treasury ot ficials. The receipts from internal .revenue bid fair to reach $300,000,, DQ0 or $ 15,000,000 more than was estimated. Singularly, the income from custom duties is likely to go beyond the estimates by more than $30,000,000. "Treasury receipts from July I to October 21 last year were 1152,000, 000. This year they are $176,0OO 000. The surplus of . receipts over -expenditures since the beginning of jthe fiscal year is $5,211,000. It is imo that this excess is not large, and that it. is always well to have a safe margin on the right side. But when the reader toj?s to realize that Treasury to-day holds something like $289,000,000 of funds locked up from the .requirements of busi ness, it is evident that the accumu lation in the .national strong box is disproportionate to the needs of the situation. "Under our present system, when the bountry is prosperous, when in dustry of all kinds is active, and when there is a keen demand for money to carry on business, the proportion of cash in the Treasury tends to increase until it helps to bring about financial stringency, while the mere fact of its availability for expenditure constitutes a potent temptation to Congressional jobbery and extravagance. This policy is neither scientific nor sensible, it is time for a radical reform along .the ines of enlightened modern finance." few days ago this question was ed at a meeting? of the Cab- at ho ef- present to stringency a3 it was be- ist "the large war expeudi- would soon turn loose a lot of e3e hoarded millions and help the country out of its straits. Perhaps some ingenious financier can dis cover something "scientific or sen sible in that," but that is about " as near the scientific and .sensible as fliflso pnrronov vpfnrmnrj cror.
