jetweeh 1593 and 189T?

i* The iitllnnatlve view la not •ratty expr-nsed In print Tet It I : be -nid that the events of the past fort night in money centers hare cemrated the public mind upon such

asp^pl IBty. i

The recently published report of the ; treasurer of the United State* for the past tisral year Is, however, calculated to allay such fear. As a mere matter of >!, t:.:i he states that the Increase of the m ncy In dn-ulstlon during the jv.fr v is S 121.740J>32. of which 359.77 : was In gold and gold certlfl- ' catrA and $54^20.193 In national bank

i Another encouraging feature of the ahr.-.-.ion ‘.s found In the late atateffitets of railway earnings. These show t-’ Itnxn-:!: >- gains In gross earnings and K h.rivcly smaller gflns In net earnl Jn-.-s tip 'to June 80. Since that date .-. the increase*has been at the rate of about 10 per cent This would sng- • gr?t a negative answer to the fortgoj tag ijncstlons. L Slahc Government Ksrn Its Money. I Under the rather startling headline 5- “I , M .ir.es Loses f 130.000 a Year" th.‘ Uo-ister and Journal tells the go r ^de of that city they are not gcr.ing all that Is coming to them. ■’One might have Inferred from the headline that the editor had calculated i' tbr.t raQroada were holding up the-mer-E ehar.'-V for an additional cent per ton l on. the ar.rmal 1.7.000.0Uti tons of goods R, sldprcd. or that If the w n-;e-paper wwa aav-.J hi , :d of u»'d for kindling It i. Would put SBhflOO a month Into the I poc'.-cl* of the ritixens, or that erosion d .1 annually a thousand square I feet of the city's w<ter front valued . at 3150 per foot. As a matter bt fact Des Moines' loss Is rot dnr to any of these causes. Tbs 1 31 '*10 Is simply the amount which '' the dly pars in excess postage. U la ar. r-fuint-d that the average Iowan's !• - r -di 1«h than au ounce a I •, upon each of which 2 cents posta. must be paid.
