L. H. POSEY, 1419 14th st. my8-104 MR. MORTON ON FINANCE The Secretary Writes a Letter to a Oritic on His Recent Interview. ‘The Two Men Differ on Historical and Logical Points—How the Bulk of Business is Done. Secretary Morton of the Department of Agriculture has written a letter to Mr. James Cherry of Denver, Col., replying to some criticisms from Mr. Cherry on Secre- tary Morton’s recent interview on the financial question. Mr. Morton says: From your letter of April 22, 1895, it ap- pears that you and I perfectly agree in the fundamental point, namely, that demand and supply inexorably regulate all valua- bles whatsoever, at all times and in all places. At what points do we begin to sep- arate from each other and then go on to conclusions so utterly diverse? These points are only two—the first historical and the second logical. i. You assume certain propositions to be true of silver, which are not historically true at all, but quite the reverse of true. You say, for instance, “Until 1873 the chief use of silver was for coinage. It had other uses, but the demand for it for coining purposes was steady and constant.” On this point you have been monstrously mis- informed. Demand and Use. Mr. Morton then reviews at length the history of silver money and says: You employ over and over again in your letter the two most common logical falla- cles that enter into the speech of argu- mentative men everywhere, namely, put- ting cause into the place of effect, and as- suming that because one thing happened after another in point of time, therefore it was the result of that other. Let us look candidly together at the two or three instances of this, taken almost at random. You ask, “What creates demand?” and answer, “Use.” I ask, in my turn, What creates use? and answer, Demand. Why is it that there is so little “use” of silver. dollars in this country today, while there are millions upon millions of them lying idle? I answer, confidently, because there is no adequate “demand” for them. Have you not innocently, but badly, mixed up “cause” and “eff in this case? De- mand in the commercial sense is nothing but desire fcr something on the part of one man, coupled with his willingness to pay something for it satisfactory to another who owns it. Use of that thing, no matter what it is, only follows the demand for it. You have helplessly put the cart before the horse. Wkat ts it that hinders the uniim- ited circulation among the people of dollars here and now? There are suc lars dol- enough aiready minted to pu: four or five of them into the pocket of every man, woman and child in the United States. What is the matter witb them that they do not get there? What is the sense of clamoring still for “unlimited coinage” when the treasury cannot get rid by hook or by crook of a tithe of those already coined and lying in useless heaps? They are well minted, of just weight, nine-tenths fine, are legal for all debts and bear the legend, “In God We Trus' What ails them? I answer, and so must you on re- flection, there is no “demand” for them, and therefore no “use” of them. What more can the law do for them? Esseutinl Service of Money. “It may be, my dear sir, that in your study of finance you have overlooked, in whole or in part, the momentous fact that all but a mere fraction of the world’s com- merce is mediated by instruments of credit, and not by metallic money at all, whether of gold or of silver, and that by far the most essential service of money in this age of the world is to furnish a steady meas ure (as steady as possible) of other val- uables, and so help to exchange them to the profit of both parties without any act- ual use of a medixting meney. By the sale of international bills of exchange at all great ports of entry, payments in foreign trade are practicaliy accomplished without the use of any money at all. In the whole- sale business of this country by means of checks drawn on well-known banks and settled through the clearing houses, not far from 97 per cent of ali payments are ef- fected without any actual use of coin. Mr. Eckels, the rency, esent controller of the cur- has made it probable by careful in- through his department that about 50 per cent of the retail business also of this country is achieved by means of checks draw. on local banks and cieared by the banks with very little use cf coin. The relative employment of these instru- ments of credit is constantly increasing through the multiplication of banks and otherwise; and, of course, also, the quan- tity of coin money required to do the busi- ness of the world, or of any advanced coun- try in the world, is steadily decreasing rel- atively to the business done. —____+-e+_. OLD GUARD MEETING. 9 Many Matters of Interest Disposed of —The Coming Carnival. The regular monthly meeting of the Old Guard was held last evening, Capt. J. M. Edgar presiding. Much enthusiasm was evinced in the reports of the special com- mittees. Comrade Smith of the committee on testimonial to the Emory Fisher Post, G. A. R., of Johnstown, Pa., for courtesies extended to the organization during its trip to that city last September, stated that a large framed picture of the mem- bership, with a representation of the Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps, was completed, and would be placed on exhibition in the win- dow of Veerhoff’s establishment, on F street. Comrade A. N. Thompson, chair- man of the committee on transportation and quarters at Louisville, reported that he had just returned from that city, where he had engaged the St. John’s Academy for the use of the Old Guard and its music during their visit to the G. A. R. encamp- ment, to be held next September. He was the recipient of many courtesies from the citizens’ committee, who predicted a gen- erous southern welcome for the boys in blue. Comrade A. F,. Dinsmore of the staff offi- cers’ organization reported that the ar- rangements for the carnival and straw- berry festival to be given in behalf of the company at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 7th street, commencing next Monday night, were nearly completed, and that it was ex- pected that Corpl. James Tanner, a life member of the Old Guard, would open the proceedings. The command will parade upon that occasion. Considerable routine business was transacted. —_—~—__ THE CITY’S HEALTH. General Improvement Shown in the Reports Recently Received. “There was a general improvement in the health of the city, as shown by the returns of mortality to the health department dur- ing the past week,” says the weekly re- port of Health Officer Woodward. “There was a decrease of sixteen in the number of deaths, and the death rate fell from 26.9 to 23.8, which is nigh the normal. The fatal cases of acute lung diseases maintained the same high figure as by the last report, probably owing to the severe northwesterly storm during the week. At the same time, the deaths from consump- tion fell off from 27 to 10. No sign of the yearly outbreak of cholera infantum and cognate maiadies has as yet presented it- self, and the ravages of disease among the old people have assumed a less violent phase. The two deaths from scarlet fever | and the same number from typhoid fever were the oply manifestations of the pres- ence of contagious diseases, which seem to be in abeyance. Of diphtheria there was no death, and but one case was re- ported.” The report shows a total of 124 deaths for the weé&. ——.__. Dividing an Estate. The will of the date David McC. Russell, Gated October 9, 1890, has been filed, and onethird of the eal estate is left to the widow, Marte Laskey Russell, also the personalty. The balance is to be distribut- ed among the younger children. No execi- tor is named, and Mrs. Russell asks that J. Thomas Sothoron and Chas. F, Benja- min be appointed administrators. The deceased died at Buenos A: Argentini Republic, the Sth of last Nevembar. THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Country Club Teas Are Perfect Only for Bain. F Where Some of the Prominent Fame ilies Will Summer — Per- soval Notes, Lady Pauncefote and the Misses Paunce- fote have changed the date of their sailing for Eurcpe to the 5th of June. Mrs. and the Misses Boardman now re- celye their friends om Wednesday after- rcons at the Country Club. Mrs. Calderon Carlisle gave a tea yester- day afternoon at the Country Club, when her friends had the pleasure of meeting her niece, Miss Coanolly of Richmond. Despite the showers a large company was present. Mrs. Childs, who has spent the winter here, left on Monday for Philadelphia, and will spend this month at the small country + place she has lately purchased near Wayne. Later she will go to Long Branch to re- main throughout the warm weather. The probabilities are that her splendid new house on K street will be ready for occu- pancy next fall, when this city will become rer permanent winter home. Mrs. William Lay, who has been in Phil- adelphia for the last two months, has re- turned, and is again occupying her house cn Jefferson place. The Brazilian minister and Mrs. Men- denca and family will leave town on the Ist of June and go to their summer home in the Adirondacks. Lieut. Gen. and Mrs. Schofield are now at the Arlington, where they will remain until their departure from the city. They con- template 'a long absence abroad, after the date of the general's retirement. A dispatch from Paris says that Count” Bonaface de Castellane and his wife, for- merly Miss Anna Gould of New York, have bought a iarge site at the corner of the Avenue Du Bois de Boulogne and the Ave- nue de Malakaff, paying therefor 700 francs per meter. The Countess de Castellane will now carry out the dream of her Life, that is to exactly reproduce the Grand Trianon at Versailles, with immense gardens, for a Paris residence. The Grand Trianon is a handsome villa, one story in height in the form of a horse shoe, and is situated about three-quarters of a mile to the northwest of the terrace of the Palace of Versailles. It was erected by Louis XIV for Mme. de Maintenon. Th2 salon des glaces in the villa contains a table, of which the top, made of a single piece of oak, is nine feet across. In the salon Je familie is a table given by Charles [V of Spain to Napoleon I. The grande vestibule, in which the famous trial of Marshal Bazaine took place in 1873, contains a group in marble, repre- senting France and Italy, exchanging the kiss of peace.
