WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, July 3. At the
request of your correspondent the
comptroller of the currency pre
pared the, lollowing practical ex
position of the sound money doc
trine. There are few abler finan
ciers than Mr. Eckels. He is very
Sopular throughout the West and
as made a most enviable reputa
tion during his brief residence in
this city with politicians and busi
ness men with whom he comes in
daily contract:
Tbe agitation for the free coin
age of silver fortunately has re
ceived its first serious set back in
the south. -The action of the re
cent democratic convention ? in
Kentucky demonstrates that the
only thing necessary to check it
aud set the people right upon the
question is an intelligent discus
sion of monetary principles. Such
a discussion was afforded the citi
zens of Kentucky by Secretary
Carlisle and the action taken in
dicates how clearly his points
were presented and how ready the
people were to put aside the error
they were about to embrace.
Throughout every portion of the
country where the citizens are not
directly interested in the owner
ship of silver mines, or the min
ing of silver ore, the demand for
free coinage of sliver is based upon
the idea that there is too small a
volume of the circulating medium
with which to transact the coun
try's daily business. This was
the complaint puring the agitation
for the unlimited issue of green
backs. It is based on tbe erron
eous notion that a great volume of
currency is an essential thing.
The volume of the country's cur
rency is of very little importance
if that currency is sound. The
soundness of it is the ' vital
point. The money suggested by
the greenback advocate twenty
years ago was unsound, and hence
the increasing of the volume of it
would have simply made matters
worse instead of better. The same
thing is to be said of the free coin
age silver, as advocated by the
free silver people. They propose
that silver shall be coined at a
raito of 16 to 1, when as a matter
of fact the bullion ratio today is
more than 30 to t. All coinage
of silver heretofore to 1873 was
founded upon the commercial value
of theltwo metals. It never was
suggested until now that that
value should be disregarded. The
production of silver also up to
that period was only sufficient for
the use and waste of it, and no
danger resulted from the free coin
age of it at its commercial ratio.
If, however, tbe suggestion of the
advocates of independent free
coinage at tbe artificial, instead of
the commercial ratio, of 16 to t, is
carried out, the United States will
be made the dumping ground for
all the silver of Mexico, South
America, Europe, and even Asia,
for with the mints of Europe shut
to free coinage our country will
furnish the great field of profits for
the holders of silver.
The truth is and it will some
day be recognized, that this
whole question must be settled
through the country's having
better bank in tr facilities. There
is no need for a large volume of
circulating media, but there is
need for better facilities for
using that which we have
What is more needed than
banks of issue is banks of depos
it and discount. This is eepe
cially tha case in the South.
With each community having a
proper bank of deposit and dis
count the money in the com
munity could be properly util
zed and economized. Through
the economy brought about by
the Introduction of checks and
other credit, instruments the
volume of money needed is
ffreatlr lessened. But to have
iha bfineflt of those credit In
struments there must be banks
and the doodIo roust be educa
ted to use them. The use of
them makes every dollar in a
community of service instead of
permitting it to remain in Idle
ness in some drawers or sioca
innr.
The use of banks of deposit
and discount reduces not only
rates of exchange but greatly
lessens interest charges. That
interest charges are so low in
many sections of the country
arises from the fact that tbe
people of these sections deposit
in the banks their surplus mon-
ey and there being a large loan
able fund to be drawn upon,
money rates aire cheap.
There is one thing, however, to
be remembered in connection with
all this and that is essential, the
necessity of having credit in order
to obtain money, ; It has frequent
ly been pointed out that when a
nan says there is a lack of money
he means that for him there is a
lack of credit. It is seldom dim-'
cult to obtain money if the bor
rower has credit and if credit is
wanting no matter how large an
amount of money there is it is of
no avail. It seems to me that if
banks of deposit and discount are
properly supported by the people
and proper regard is paid to the
maintenance of credit we will hear
less of the need of a continual in
crease in the volume of the coun
try's circulating medium How
ever, if it is to be increased, that
increase ought to be of a redeem
ably worth one hundred cents, It
ought not to rely upon the fiat of
the government solely to give it
its value here or elsewhere,
PREGNANT FACTS.
There can be 110 genuine busi
ness revival, no permanent nation
al prosperity, says the Lnchburg
ews, until we return to bi-metal-ism
and restore to silver the mon
ey character given it by the foun
ders of the government. Bi-me-tallists
do not propose to "revolu
tionize the monetary conditions cf
the country," as charged by Cleve-
and. those conditions have al
ready been revolutionized by the
demonetization of silver and bi
metalists are onlv demanding
that they bo restored, as establish
ed by the constitution. '
L uder the niomentaliic svstem
the few have been enriched at the
expense of the many. The farm
ing and laboring elements have
sutlered most Generally, where
there has been an increase of
wealth at all, it has occurred iu
the cities while there has been a
falling off in the rural districts
The statistical abstract, pub
lished by the treasury department,
contains a statement of the true
values of all projierty, real and
personal, in the several states of
the Union for each decade from
1860 to 18!)0.- This statement
shows that during the decade in
which silver was demonetized
from 1870 to 1880, there was a
depreciation of such values in the
state of New York to the extent
of $192,911,264, During tho fol
lowing decade, from 1880 to 189ft,
the effect of the revolutionizing
process was shown in an appre
ciation of such value in the state
ot New York to the extent of 2,-
268,701,991. By far tho greater
lart ot this increase, too, was in
jicrsonal property and not in real
estatethe mere piling p of dol
lars, tho result of the constantly
increasing purchasing power of
gold. New York is the creditor
of the nation, and this process of
accumulation has been going on
until in the single year, 1893-'91,
outot 43 states in the Union, nil
Irom which officinl returns have
leen received, 31, sliowctl a depre
ciation of assessed values of real
and itcrsonel property amounting
to $500,000,000. In the remain
ing 12 there was an increase
.mounting to $:l:,000,000. Of
this increase $235,000 occurred
in the state of New York.
Thefo figures show that under
the process of revolutionizing the
monetary conditions, commenced
in 1873, property values have
been steadily fulling off in the
South and jWcst, while in New
York, tho money lending center,
they havo increased with wonder
ful rapidity. Several eastern
states have profiled like New
York, hut not to the same extent.
Tho lesson illustrates the advan
tages gained by the creditors
classes generally.
Is it strange that the people of
the South and West object to the
peipctuation of a system by
which they have sutlered so se
verely. But bankruptcy threat
ens not alone the people of those
two sections. It is a condition
into, winch the nation seems to be
rushing headlong. A few months
since we paid a single bank
ing house $12,000,000 for a
promise of its influence to
n-otect our gold resoive, and im
mediately attcr that reserve was
again below the legal requirement.
Iu a time of peace , we are issuing
bond periodically to build up this
reserve, only to boo it dragged
down again, while we. are inform
ed that there will be a serious de
ficit of revenues for the' current
year. By this process we are re
ducing the amount of money in
circulation and substituting an
interest-bearing debt for one that
has heretofore borne no interest.
The present remedy is to re
deem all paper money in gold or
silver, as way bemost convenient
to the government The whole
civilized world is ready and anx
ious for bi-metalism except
England. Our own silver certifi
cates, redeemable only in silver
dollars accordipg to the declara
tion of the seoretary of the treas-j
ury, and a legal tender for public
debts only, are as good as gold,
but the president says in his mes-i
sago to congress that another cer
tLftrato, redeemable" in gold or
silver, and a legal tender for all
debt", public and private, must
be redeemed in gold in order to
maintain its parity. Such incon
sistency would destroy the busi
ness reputation of any back presi
dent, and has helped to destroy
the confidence of the people of
this country in the present admin-
tration.
The census figures given above
will enallb the wayfaring man
though a fool to understand why
it is that Wall street is anxious to
discontinue the agitation of the
silver question.
BIBLE'S INFLUENCE.
Every now and then, says the
News, and Observer, some bril
liant skeptic or materialist tells
us that the Bible is not read
these days and that it is losing
its hold upon the people. As a
matter of fact observation ought
to teach to the contrary, but it
is rarely safe to rest a truth
upon so uncertain a thing as
individual observation. "Give
'em facts" is the true Gradgrind
method. The last issue of the
London Quartely Review shows
from figures that never before
has there been so great a de
mand for the Bible as now. In
England alone about three mil
lion copies are issued every
year. There are two hundred
million copies in circulation in
3j0 different language, and the
demand is yearly incivi.ing.
In the face of these figures
nobody need lose sleep because
the Bible is going into disuse
It is today the great propelling
force in all civilized countries,
and those that follow its pre
cepts most closely are the most
prosperous and useful.
