THE MONETARY STRINGENCY, M ‘problem the mone; TARY stringency continues to holdits in the public mind -along with &he | the coal strike‘and .the trust Lowever, one respect in which tion differs from the two other topics ] The cause of the stringency is well un- | is already before the public a weil tting rid of it: It would appear, hile strikes and.trusts will perplex finite time to come, it is easily in the ONET place progress of There is, qu discu s . latest presentation of the case against our system is to be given in the com- ber of Sound Currency by L. Carroll Root. the pertinerce of the problem to present es of the article have been sent out he publication of that periodical in or--| arguments may be studied in the light now occurring. by pointing out that the Comp- | to of t e, Currency has tecently announced that | deposits regularly reported fo his office ag- more than $8,200,000,000. Making allowance ngs depo of currency which do not perform the hat there remains on deposit available for ncy” upward of $7,000,000,000, or nearly five times as much as all other forms of currency put e deposits are used among merchants and ness men s currency, to the extent that e effe pay them. They ing and Hence d by exchanging checks against ! are of no use, however, for crop mov- not suitable for farming comimunities. they do mot meet the emergency that arises = when the crops enter the markets. In explaining that phase of the problem Mr. Reot says: “The farmers make use of bank notes, or other forms of paper money. The result is that as soon as the marketing of the crops begins there also begins a steady absorption of paper money out of the banks and other channels of trade where it has been em ed and into the hands of the farmers, Of course a considerable part of this is at once dis- bursed in payment for labor and in payment of loans and store accounts, which have been contracted on the understanding that they would be paid out of the proceeds of the crops. To that extent the money is not withdrawn from the channels of business. But all, of the money paid out to the farmer for his crops is not thus disbursed at once; and, except where the use of bank accounts has developed, the rest is usually held for a time in the form. of paper money. If an inventory could be taken of the con- tents of the pockets, wallets and bureau drawers of the farmers of this country thirty days before the crop< were marketed and compared with a snrmlar ty or ninety days later it is safe to,say er inventory would show many millions rs in the form of paper money in excess of the amount held at the earlier date.” Such, then, is the cause of the demand for money to move the crops, and it can be readily seen that in’| the absence of any automatic increase in the supply of mo there is sure to follow that depletion of bank reserves which constitutes the ever rccurrmg monetary stringency. The p and comparatively easy remedy is ithat providing for an elastic currency, and with the enormous deposits in our banks such a currency;} conld be provided with absolute safety. It cannot be " attained, however, under our present system.of regu- fating note issues. Mr. Root says: “We require a bank to invest in United States Government bonds an amount from 10 to 35 per cent greater than the | amount of currency we permit it to issue. As the in- terest return on the investment in bonds is very low —only about 2 per cent—no bank which has' reason- ably good opportunities for investment can afford to thus purchase bonds and issue bank notes unless it can keep those motes in ecirculation almost con- tinuously. Manifestly, this will not provide the elas- ticity required to meet these periodic increases in demand.” he issue involved in this problem is fortunately a -non-partisan one. Differences of opinion exist as to the best means of attzining -an elastic currency, but all agree that such currency has become almost an imperative need of the country. We are not going to have disaster this year, but it is best not to take further chances. Currency reform should be insisted are every ye a of { to create the great to any conmsiderable extent, it {. THE CALAVERAS TREES. HE Calaveras Prospect responds, generously, I to cur call for informatior regarding the big trees. ' The editor enrolls himself definitely on the side that stands for permanent preservation of the biggest and oldest trees in thé world: Having lived among these trees, he is able to affirm our esti- mate of their great age. He says he has traced to | its source ‘the once fiery stream ;of “lava ‘that swept away all other traces of the vegetation of that far age in awhich these trees passed their youth, and has sought and found-the cross barriers that tyrned that molten stream aside 2ud allowed these monuments of a past ‘age:to survive, We are glad to produce his testimony in proof 6f:our statement that thesc trees were there when the volcanoes were belching ashes and lava and the *San’ Joaquin Valley was an inland sea. v . | Agreeing so-far, he.impeaches us of ignorancé of ;of the coast. We we{e aware that they are species of the same .genus, the big trees being the Sequoia gigantea and the redw%ods the Sequoia semperv‘lrtns, Japan has another spe;n:s which may be seengrow- ing in. the fine arborgtum on the - grounds State Capitol ‘at‘Sactamento. ~ The editor ¥of ' the Prospect declares that the Sequoia gigantea is too brittle to be of much commercial value for lumber. Against that is the fact that on Kings River and at Sanger, and at other points where these trees occur outside of theforest ‘reservations, they-:are: at this moment being. reduced- to luymber, - The largest of them all, recently discovered'néar the ‘Sanger lum- bering tract, is just barely saved by being wnhm the !¢ Teservation line. That this timber is being lumbered, \nhercver it has passed into private ownership, is a. fact that has not heretofore been disputed. If it fiave no* value for lumber or dimehsion timbes, then all the groves are. safe from the saw and there is no need of haste in se- curing the North and South groves heretofor known as the big trees of CaIavtras ym differentiate these groves into “the Sequoi’a gmu"" Calaveras, numbering about mnety trees, an thc Tuolumne grove of about 1400.” We checrfully ac cept that description and join the Prospect in domg' whatever may be done to rescue and preservp _the whole, thereby saving nearly 1500 of these greatest trees on earth, ¢ It seems that both groves were long in one own- | ership, and were sold together on the same tract, and are under one ownership still. The Prospect says’ that the two groups are part of a great timber tract,’ which if lumbered will remove the shelter from the headwaters of important streams, and that it is fight-.. ing to save mot only the big trees but this whole | timber belt, and “hopes to see the earnest support of- every leading paper in the State for such:a aiobley purpose. the timber is necessary for thé preservation of ou: water ‘supply, and it is probable that the land ‘will | be purchased for the nation, eithet by régotiation or " by condemnation.” 2 We hope so, and stand ready ‘to aid to that resulf. Why should it not be purchased by ‘the Federal Government? = So far the United States has not bought, tc save, a single acre of timber in the V\’rsL It has simply reserved from sale to private parti portions of .the public domain that are:¢bvered with timber. But on.the cther side of the‘contipent the Federal Government proposes to buy:from ‘the pri- | vate owners many millions of acres of forest land Appalachian Park,” lying mainly in North Carolina. That park is located in a humid climate, where the conservation of a water ‘supply is fot such an economic necessity as it is here. - It is in ‘the region 6f all the year round precipitation of moisture, of copious rains in the summer and deep snowfall in the winter. The renewal of forests theére is not the difficult prcblem that it .is here, where we have half a year of o precipitation at all. The Appalachian Park should be preserved. -We | have no objection to that, and California will tot flinch at paying her share of the millions that it will cost. “But the tract cutlined by the Prospect serves more economic purposes of importance to ‘mankind than all the forests of the Appalachian Range. Here it is a physical -question of the greatest practical im- portance. It goes to the preservation of the moisture upon which production irf ‘the San Joaqdin Valley” depends. It concerns the welfare of the mining-in- dustry and affects the sources of that electric power which hoists ore, runs stamps and drills, lights the cities of the valley, furnishes their manufacturing industries with power, runs their. street cars and seon will cogk their food. Strip our mountains of their forests by the saw and fire, and the clemency of our climate -and- the fertility of our soil disappear, and California will soon be as dead: as the moon, Thereforevlet us balance the Appalachian Park by the purchase of these timber tracts which skirt the forest reserves of California, until the Government controls enough of the timber belt to compel careful lumbering that will harvest all ripe timber.and leave the rest to grow as a permarent forest crop. P —— Dcmocranc orators may talk as they please abcut tariff revision. but the .people are -aware that ‘the Dingley tariff has brought prosperity to American industries and has given more;work and more wages to more men than any other legislative act in human history.

They find'the ficors decayed and overloaded, sinking and in dangersof-collapse. The walls shbw signs of wegkness, and“in’ case of fire there.are no proper means of es- cape for the hundreds'who might be caught in the flames. “The bmldmg is nearly forty years old.

With the exception of the time of the Civil War there was never such a sectional division of commit- tee places in the House. A Democratic victory would therefore put the party Teaders in” the House in a strange dilemma. = Either they would have to give almost every committee chairmanship to one section' of the Union, or else they would have to set aside the claims “of ranking members and. give chairmanships to new men from the North without expenen!e .in Congresslonal service. From that dilemina the country will of course save the" already distracted party. Democracy will - ot have control ‘of thé next House and will not have to fret itéelf over committee chairmanships, but the very fact ithat such'a condition prevails in the House i an mterestmg lesson on the effect of Bryanism on American politics. l i ITTING alone upon the lotus, under the open: sky, wrapped in eternal calm, is the “Daibutsu,” or Great Buddha;one of the most remarkable works of art in Japan, or, for uun mat- ter, In the world. This colossal bronze statue is -uuned in Kamakura, about an hour by rail from Yokohama. - Kamakura itself is a para- dox, a name only, the city having, disap- peared from off the face of the earth. Seven hundred and ten years ago, and for 300 years thereafter,” Kamakura was the military capital of Japan, the seat of the Bhogunate, a city some millon of in- habitants, where Princes of the realm, feudal lords, with their long trains of men-at-arms, surrounded the haughty and powerful ruler. ' Over a broad site spread for miles the quaint homes of the people, surrounding the great yashiki of the Shogun. Here the sciénce of arms was studied—and put to the proof; the arts and literature flourished; temples were reared. ' And ‘under the.roof of the state- liest stood the ancient statue, symbol through long ages of peace profound, of that serene and holy meditation wherein the soul, .forgetful of the littleness, the -sordidness, the illusion of life, becomes one of the eternal reality. Yes, Kamakura was a basy, bustling ¢ity, crowded with people, the Daibutsu in its temple set in their midst. To-day fhere is no vestige of city, no stick nor stone of temple; all are gone as complete- Iy as are the men-of that generation. But still ‘upon his lotus in serene meditation sits the calmly beatific Great Buddha, where he gat centuries ago. There is a railroad station with a mod- ern hamlet surrounding it a mile or two ] wooden temple with an interesting his- tory bullt in commemoration of the genius of war, who when he lived was son to that llustrious and valiant Japanese Joan of Arc who conquered Korea; there is an old stone torli of noble proportions and an avenue of fine old trees; there is a modern inn for tourists under pine trees on the edge of the bay—all of these are called Kamakura, yet are scattered rath- er widely, afar from the statue, and are no part ‘of the ancient city. About 300 years ago a series of tidal waves, earth- yuake shocks and some disasirous wars which deluged the soil with biood and in 4| which the city mor: than once was ‘burned, served to destroy the town and to shake down as well the temple, bulit in 1235, that enshrined the Buddha. This tem- ple was fifty yards square, with a roof supported on sixty-three massive pillars. More than 650 years ago, at a date when qur ancestors recked little of art, was cast that statue, about fifty feet high, or higher than a four-story house, the length of the face eight feet and a half, of the eve nearly four feet, of the ear more than sixand a half feet, circumference of thumb about three feet. The .eyes are of gold, and the silver boss (representing a ray of light) in the center of the forehead ‘weighs thirty pounds. The statue is hel- 1ow, the inner chamber containing an al- ‘tar with an image of one ‘of the holy Buddhas, and a staircase into the'top of the head.
