There is a universal - demand for currency reforoi, but there can be no thorough currency reform mm. does not begin or end with a reform in the banking system of the coun try. The present system, which re- we mav ho o-ortd enough in some apects, is inadequate to the demands of business and will never, as at present constituted, prove equal to those demands. Some of the strong est advocates for additional bank in .rWUUtion. to provide a system which can more fully meet the demands of business, are commer cial papers published in the money centers, one of which, the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, thus shows up the defects of the present system and the urgent need of some reme dial legislation: There waa a decrease in the national bank circulation last month of $05 000 Tht portion of the total circala tion which is secured by deposits of bonds inert-ased $606,000, showing a small disposition to expand. No in dictmentof oar bank currency sys tern could be nore eff ciive than this statement. Rates for money have been exceptionally high at timesdunne the past few weeks. The progress of business has been checked in somedi gree by the lack of currency, or by ap prehensions that there would be a lack pr-sently. The situation has been such tht the Q veromeot offered to antic pue its interest payments for threrf unhs of a year, in order to put twenty rive or thiriv million dollir more within the r-ach f the busings community. Comptratively liul advautae basb?ea tka of this offer. The situation is not really fitreme, and an easier cmdi ion, due to the re turn of currency fro-n ih agricul tural recites, a-id p -rhps als t ih settlem'nt of Eirop-an blucj, has been -x-cud Ah the ofT-r to anti cipat iut-re-t aft?" the dr-t f this month t subj ct l a r-oai in tiihtQ'' mmt lucr-e OKforetir s muciidisi-inou to accept the offer of the r-air-. But Uns is th situation : th" m-iney market is very firm, at limes th- rau-" for loaua have nne up very high, th Ooverum- ol resirts to unu.-ual step to rliev th- situation, aud tne baan ourrncy of trie o juntry. already ab surdly smIl in propjrtiju to oaii capital and to the volume of business, has actually expriet c-d adiminution. OwiDg t a change in the character oi the deposit for its security there is the promise of a small jporease as the re suit of October's operation, but with a pressing demand for more currency the bank currency was les at the end of October than it was at the begin nlng. There is no obscurity about the causi of this anomaly. The banks can only put out circulation upon the de posit of bonds. At the prices of gilt edged securities it is becoming less and less profitable to buy Government bonds of a face value or loo.uuu ana deposit them as security for $90,000 of notes. Just now the demand for money is baring a sligbt effect in inducing banks to take oat circulation ; but as we look back over several years we can see a steady diminution of bank circulation in spite of an increase of of population, wealth and current busi ness. And as we look forward the computations of the Actuary of the Treasury made last spring show that tendency will continue, and it will grow less profitable to deposit bonds to secure notes. Not even a reduction of taxation and an increase of the notes that may be issued to the face value of the bonds can be more than a tempo rary palliative of thb work of contrac tion. The situation is absolutely without excuse. Abundant experience here and abroad shows that no such ex cessive restrictions are essential. A suitable Dauk currency, such as has been persistently advocated ia-thee columns, would expand at a time like this when there is for a few weeks a ' ' particularly Urge demand, and it would automatically contract wh5a not needed, while the present currency is only too apt, if it once gets out, to remain oat when tt is no longer needed by legitimate basiaeas and to consti tute a fund of idle money only too en couraging to speculutiou. "Apart from the financial inoonven ience or danger of the situation there is a po itical danger. The inflationist wt'l use the undoubted fact that there is a need of more currency as an argu meat for increased issue by the Gov ernment If our currency system is not reformed it U in daoger of becom iog worse. "We insist aeaia that as a matter of political expediency the Admist'a tion can do nothing more politic than .to reform the financial system, not alone by making gold the single stand ard of the country but by making the i i ;v.l n nut currency ca(wuhuib. The paper from which we quote is not a partisan or political paper, but discusses this question from a pure ly business and financial standpoint aud in doing so speaks for the busi ness interests which suffer from a lack of banking facilities adapted to the needs of busineBS, a 87"" PU which the business - interests of the country could rely fothe paper cur rency it needs and npon which it could rply at all times. The defect which our contempo rary points out is not the fault oi hanks, for it is not to be sup posed that they will issue notes that are unprofitable to them just for the accommodation or convenience of those- who need money, aituus United States Treasurer Roberts in his speech before a Bankers oonren tion'some time ago, . intimated thak- they ought to show a more accommo dating disposition in this respect than they had been showing. The fault is not in the banks or the bankers, but in the system itself, which rests upon goernment bonds which can be turned to better ac nnnf than Kninir nsed as a basis for tVUUH waM note circulation. Before we can have "a scientific and sensible" financial system, as the Philadelphia Bulletin expresses it, the relationship between tne Danx notes and Government bonds must be dissolved, and the bank notes be based upon something which is not a subject of national speculation, .nmnthinir whose value cannot be affected, and possibly very suddenly, by the demand for gold, or by the demand for bonds. What is needed is a banking sya tem whose notes cannot be affected by the operations of gold specula tors or speculators in Government bonds, and one whose vo'ume of notes will not be influenced by the price of Government bonds. To get this there must either be a thorough reform of the national banking sys tem, severing it from Government connection, or there should be a dif ferent system established in which United States bonds would play no more part than any other bankable value. We don't wan4ny national system, either, for that is too un wieldy, for no national system can be equally adapted to the needs of the sections with their respective interests sometimes conflicting. A national system, too, will always fig ure more or less in national politics and be dominated more or lesa by the .sections which are the most populous and have the largest repre sentation in Congress. What is needed is a banking sys tam which, will give he people of the State the right to establish such banks as they desire, and thus sup ply themselves with the currency they need, as much or as little as their business might require. Thus eaoh State could act for itself, regu late its own values of notes under such laws as prudence would suggest each State be independent of the banks of other States, and the whole matter, as far as paper currency is concerned, taken out of Congress and cease to be a subject of natioual agitation and political manipulation. To this it must come at last before have bed-rock currency reform. w bava Bublished in these columns many warnings against the. aUnrhter of our forests, cuppeu vALhArn' uaners which haveH uviu v - called attention to the annual ae- onnnlv of timber. A crease i " rrv few days ago we published one from the Philadelphia Record, and here with gire another from the wasn ington Post : "Between the lumberman's. ax and the forest Are the number of trees available for building Puruura -small by large oegree. r'i finely less.

They got iloKinley and got buncoed wh'en'they did, as a good many of them have since diacovered. They have discovered that there are some thing!' worse than free and un limited coinage of silver, and would willingly swap McKinley with his "sound money" for Bryan with hi free silver. Commenting upon this the Charleston News and Courier, a gold paper, says: A correspondent of the N Y. Her old writes, "The good times during 4 the couple of years are the result of "the Cleveland Administration. When "Cleveland was making a fight for the "gold standard and was deserted by a "large number of his own party, all "during that time McKinley was mak "ing speecthes attacking Cleveland for "being opposed to the free coinage of "silver." That is true, and in spite of the fact that McKinley was re elected upon the clear and distinct issue of the gold standard, and elected by the votes of Sound Money Democrats throughout the county, he has not made the least effort to rerorm the currency system, or to carry oat his chief pledge to the people. "In a recent letter to a number of prominent German citizens of Cin cinnati, who invited him to deliver an address in that city, Carl Bcburs takes the ground that the issue of imperial ism is far mure dangerous to the insti tutions of this country than free coin age, and that he 'would prefer free coinage to imperialism. There are hundreds of thousands of Democrats who voted for McKinley in 1896 who aeree with Mr. Scburz. and much as tbey fear the injury tnat the free and independent coinage of silver would be to the financial welfare of this country, they fear far more the triumph of the policv of imperialism, for which Mr. McKinl-y and the managing directors of his party now stand." McKinley not only buncoed the gold Democrats, but he also bun coed the silver Republicans, who voted for him because the platform on which he ran declared for bimet allism and for an honest effort to secure international bimetallism. As the thing has panned out it is simply .a double case of bunco. present rate of absorption ten years longer, at the expiration of wbida tiua.our white pine lumber purees mIa.I exhausted. 10e Will UD pi w -.-J n;v.b)i raises a warning araltiat this wholesale slaughter, K.t thn forest area 1 iog fast reduced to the and and tree less condition of Siin "The St. Louis Republic, always on the lookout for a political po,D., ures the Dispatch that there is no use in calling a t.-lt and urging meas uresof forest consersatloti so loug as the Dlnl-y protective tariff keep out .

The yellow pine of the South is being rapidly substituted, for the white pine of the North, which is making considerable of a drain on our forests, and will make a much heavier drain before the Canadian forests ctn be sufficiently drawn upon, as long as the present tariff embargo lasts. In the meantime, tariff embargo or no tariff embargo, the owners of Southern timber lands ! should take care of them, for every day adds something to their value. INCREASE IN TAXABLS VALUES- We clip from the Raleigh News and Observer the following, showing . s i the prospective increase oi taxaoie values in this State for this year, over 1898: "Auditor Ayer is receiving reports from the commissioners of the counties giving the taxable value of property in the several counties. Thus far re porta from 57 counties have been re ceived While the reports are being re ceived in 1899 they will not appear in the auditor's report until 1900, accord ing to the custom. These 67 counties afiow an increase in the valuation of taxable property as compared wttn tne i mrtar.f the same counties of 1898 of $9,633 275. No county heard from thus far has failed to show an increase Tne increase in each county ranees from $1,000 to $1,200,000; it can safely be estimated that the reports from all cou-ities will show an iucres of $12,000 000 taxable values over 1898 This increase is probably due to the fact that this was the quadrennial as sessment year The counties shown g the largest increase in real a-.d p-r fcooal property. exHu-ive of 1 cense txea, &c, wh ch will uot come in un til ltr. are as follows: Ueckle.ibug $1. 0 656 Buncomb 596 280 Forsyth 549 Hu3 R .win 5.8 9J1 Braufort 4B7,99d Richmoad 411 420 C eveland 383.943 Robeson 378 8 S PiU 338 64 Other count er ranging dowu to au increase if $1 000., Salisbury Index: Probably the largest lot of cattle, sheep and hogs ever seen here arrived at the Spencer stock yards this (Saturday) morning.

Special dispatches to traders on 'Change stated that heavy frosts had occurred in the Mississippi valley and pretty much throughout the northern belt during the past two nights. Despite. an advance of 1 16ic in bid prices, many spot dealers in tbe South could not be induced to part with the small supplies remaining in thftir nossession. this causing gnat un easiness in export circles and amoDg all of whom were in need of supplies for prompt ship fordf NeW york, Geo Harriss, ment.
