ury is also obliged to haw on hand a

mints do not like to run on two metals
at the same time. But the main sig

ment is that,the quality of the demand
for gold and the reasons tor it have en-
tirely changed in the last ten years,
due to the distribution through the
country of the forms of money whim
were once the great menace to the
treasury reserve.

PERHAPS THE LAST
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Washington, Dec. 1.—One piece of
legislation which the mint bureau will
ask for at the new session of congress
reveals an extraordinary change which
has come over our fiscal system in the
last ten years, as a result of which the
• endless chain" that figured so conspic-
uously in the days of the Sherman re-
peal agitation is now wholly in the
background. The reserve fund of $150,-
090,000 established by the act of lrf'JO
must be held in "gold coin and bul-
lion. "• The let provides that whenever
the gold coin held in reserve nind
Jails below JlUO.UbO.OOO the authority to
iysue goU certificates shall be suspend-
ed. This virtually means that two-
thirds of the reserve fund shall be in
*oin, leaving the other third, or $50,-
000,000 to be kept in bars or bullion it
the authorities so desire. It has now
come to pass that whenever there is
uny persistent demand for gold it is Tor
bars lor oxjiort, ai*l the reserve to be
most Useful should be largely in that
form. Accordingly the department
hopes to secure the repeal of this lim-
itation. which reqiires the major por-
tion of the reserve to be in a form oi
gold not generally available for the
needs of the treasury.,
To Illustrate, during the six months
ending July 1, the total presentation
of tho United States legal tender notes
for redemption in gold coin was $6,591,-
240, while in the same period the treas-
ury gave $60,790,511 in gold bars in di-
rect exchange for gold certificates.
These were intended for export. Why
bhould the law require two-thirds of a
reserve fund to be maintained in a
form which is wanted for only one-
tenth o! the demands made upon it?
The process by which this situation
has come about,-constitutes one of the
most interesting chapters of our recent
financial history.
The demands ou the treasury have
ceased to be for gold coin, because of
the distribution throughout the coun-
try of other forms of money which are
technically fiat, and were formerly held
in the bank reserves to be in readi-
ness for direct drain on the treasury
•whenever gold was needed. The legal
teYider notes, or greenbacks, were tho
•grctot money of the bank reserves.
These amount to $346,000,000. ' They
have been gradually changed in de-
nomination responsive to the demands
of business. Of this total, $251,000,000
are now in the ten-dollar denomina-
tion, with $13,000,000 in still lower de-
nominations. The $20 bills constitute
$-{2,000,000. while only $24,00,000 re-
* mains in $1,000 bills. But these high-
denomination notes are constantly .be-
ing reduced, for it is only a few yeurs
ago that nearly all the greenbacks were
in bills larger than those of ten dol-
lars. The "endless chain," instead of
standing in readiness to make a pull
un tne treasury's gold, is now scattered,
link by link through the widely .diver-
sified avenues of trade, just like the
silver certificates, which also are large-
ly fiat in their nature. These two forms
of money now scattered from the At-
lanantic to the Pacific, do not now pre-
sent themselves in large quantity in
exchange for gold coin This great re-
versal in our monetary system has
largely resulted from the enormous de-
velopment of tho business of the coun-
try in the last ton years, or at all
events since the troubulous times of
* 1893. Apparently It would be Impossi-
ble to repeat such condition* as then
existed.
The gold certificates have become
the money of the bank ifcServes. They
nre the form in which the government
receives most of its revenue, esp-
«tally its customs. They are the
money of large pay men is the nation
over. There is therefore little signi-
ficance today In the kinds of money in
which customs or other payments are
made, and no reason tor a drain on the
treasury's gold. Whenever thai r.etal
1s wanted now, it Is desire I for ex-
port purposes, and as th« tie.Hum lor
the settlement of international bal-
ances it will always be necessary. The
exporters always prefer the bars to
the coin because of the f light, abrasion
the latter Is likely to sulfe-.

Joseph, says tho body of Peter Nissan,
tho Chicago Inventor, lias been found Irt

The starl was made about 3 o'clock
Tuesday s/ternoon. • Nlsssn, with th%
"Foolklller, No. :i," and John Nissen.
brother of the Im-enlor, arrtviiii.at tho
lake front at . o'clock. The inventor
looked over the lake. Tho wind was
blowing a gale from the went.
"Looks good today," he commented,
and turned to unload Ihe craft. Mr. Nis-
sen lan't a strong man and ho needed
assistance. The four men began to tu<
at what looked to bo an immense bundle
of canvas. They stood at th> foot of
Ohio street and many pedestrniis wer«
panning. Soon there was a crowd of per-
haps fifty persons About them.
"How long do you suppose you'll have
to sit today?" queried one.
"Going to take a novel with you?" in-
quired another.
"Expect to spend Christmas in the
middle of the lake?" queried a third.
But Nissen paid no attention. In tne
minutes tho bundle of canvas was upon
the ground Then came a queer-looking
arrangement of wood.
"The bellows." answered Nissen "The
poor Pan't have the hiU-nt Inventions."
It was old fashioned, of the kind that
was used decades ago.

JClssen and his companions turned to
