The significant admissions of Bank- er Lee, of Todd, regarding the condi- tion of business as guaged by that of the country banks, as summarized in the last Bulletin, has attracted wide attention.

To which a state of- ficial adds that in attempting to find a place of investment for a sum of money for a relative in a country town who cuuld get no interest for it there, he found that only two regular banks in St. Paul were paying inter- est on time deposits. To his inquiry of a banker why this was the case the reply was that it was because money was ‘‘so cheap.” Why cheap? Be- cause there is nothing into. which it can be put that will earn a protit war- rauting borrowing it from the banks. * 5d * The recent report of United States Comptroller Dawes shows “whither we are drifting,” as the condition of business may be gauged from the banks, taking the country over. Bank deposits are an indication of |! whether money isin business or not. It certainly is not in the banks for profit in the low rate of interest paid on deposits. the deposits of the national banks of the United States increased from Dev. 1, 1898, to Feb. 4, 1899, $6,923,- 343.38, and from Feb. 18, 1898, to Feb. 4, 1899, increased, $249,532,223.44, or an average of $20,000,000 per month for the year. On Feb. 4,-1899, the indi- vidnal deposits piled up io the said banks aggregated the eaormuus sum of $2,225,000,000, largely there because there is‘no profit in employing it in business. Aud, by the way,eliminate thi- mighty sum, and will some one, in heaven’s name, tell us how much money there is in actual ‘“‘circula- tion” among the people? And yet the gold standard advocates will fig- ure it out that the ‘‘per ‘capita circu- lation is on the increase. * . * What nonsense to talk of condi- tions being satisfactory when every intelligent man or woman not in @ ? | 2 ¢ & eile BRE a svoner or later. ing an incentive.” * the money question will be next year, made all the clearer when such hide- bound party mouthpiece as Chauucey Depew admits, as in his recent state- * * Stimulated by the great indigna- tion throughout the state over the defeat of the gross earnings bill, ever since the legislature adjourned there April, and more than - $6,000,000,000 within a twelvemonth, ‘it is a ques- tion whether mischief will not be done beyon‘ the possibility of remedy | duce for the approval of the admiuis- | days of the last congres’, declaring: The report shows that : ment. that the republicans will open- ly declare for the gold standard. We have received in a private let- ter from one of our foremost leaders, his forecast of what the republican money tinkers now at work in hear- | ing of the ‘sad sea waves,” will pro- tration and act of congress, possibly in special session called along in Oc- tober. It will, he believes, follow the bill reported by the house coinage committee majority in the closing “The standard of value shall, as now, be the gold dollar, being one- tenth part of the eagle, consisting of 25.8 grains of gold nine-tenths fine, or of 23 21-100 of pure gold.” All obligations (notes or contracts) for the payment of money shall be made in conformity with this stand- All obligations of the government now existing or hereafter to be en- tered into shall, stipulated, be held to be payable in} such gold coin. There shall continue to be free coinage of gold into such coins, but No silver dollars shall heréafter be coined except from the silver bullion held against outstanding treasury notes of 1890. ‘There it is straight from the shoul- der, the single gold standard, the de- struction of the silver dollar and of the greenbacks, gold bonds, notes and contracts, and in the rest of the bill money issues by the hanks, under the gigantic trusts of all the trusts, the money trust.

The remedy pointed out in Ohio is that “public conscience be aroused to punish with an unstaying hand, every officer that violates his oath of office.” It will apply to Minnesota.
