GAGE WANTS CHANGES IN THE BANKING STSTEM, Insists That the System Is Only Suited to Fair Weather. Changes in Law Would Increase the Circu lation. Washington. December 4. —The annual report of S> eretary of the Treasury Gage was submitted today. It shows that the revenin s of the government from all sources for the fiscal year ended Jun* 30, IS>H, w ere MW.a0.530.ie. The expenditures for the same period were stt!l .5V’i,546..>4, Showing a surplus of fT7.717.954.38. Compared with the fiscal year HIM, the receipts for l‘J"l increas’d L’y.TL’l.'ltl.Tl. and then was an increase of L’-',253..'>t;i.4J In expenditures. Th, revenues of the government for the current fiscal year are thus esti mated upon tlie basis of existing laws at Piss.iiMa'l-’. Th< ex|H-nditures for the same p<riod are estimated at |588,tKJ3,t>42, or a surplus <>f fiw.boo.twu. Reserve Fund Maintained. The rcfsirl says: "The ies,rv. fund and the trust fund have been maintained. The redemptions of United States notes have been each day adjusted by exchange for. gold, so th.it the full sum of 41.io.i«.i.'«>u has been kept unchanged in coin and bullion. The gross gold in the treasury, including the r« serve and the trust fund against cer tificates, r,-ceiv« d an addition of 471.27U,- 325.74 during the fiscal year, and a fur ther addition of J34.3<>4,2X>.5U by t letolxr 1. while Ji;>,t4i7.;c7 more in octoiier brought the aggregate by November 1 to s7.|J.vtl,- Sos. This sum in gold was never before equaled In our annals, and only for a few months some years ago has any other government ever held so much of that precious metal. The secretary says ot the merchant mu rine; “In >ny n-port for 1898 the establishment of a system of graded bounties upon the mileage navigated by American vessels while engaged in the foreign carrying trade was recommended, bur interna tional obligations—to mention only one conclusiv,' reason preclude f' sort to dis criminating duties or export bounties. Navigation bounties in the United States •re justiti tble only by present conditions, by the certainty that they will not long be r< quired. by the fact that they need not in any year exceed the total cost of a <-ouple of battle ships, and by the fact, conceded by our maritime rivals, that they- will produce the results we desire. In legislation uihui the subject it is rec ommended that congress shall k< ep in view the fact that the expedient is tem porary. and tliut prompt results are de sir .’d.” Gage on Banking. f»f banking. Secretary Gage says: •'Admirable m many f speettb experi ence shows that our banking system is <l. vised for fair we- tlv r. not for st inns. 'I bis can be clearly show n. The individual batiks stand isolated and apart, separated units, with n ( tic of mutuality between tin in. Then is no obligation of duty from the strong to the wgak or exposed, nor any metho.! of <egal association for common protection or defense in |H*riods of adversity and depression. “Argument lias inert put forward for a system which contemplates a large cen tral bank with multi|>licd branches. That . sx st. 11l does, indeed, afford the elements w hich would g.. - the highest assurance of piot<*>tion against the present evil , independent unit, with no bond of lohesion. no power of c.Hiper.itive action, no aliility to co ordinate forth. g.-m ral good or for mutual <!• f 1 ns« .

By the concen tration of unemployed reserves from sections where such reserves were not needed, it eonld redistribute them in part as loans where most needed, and thus bind together for a common strength and protection the loose unn lated units, in whose separation and isolation the greatest weakness of our banking sys t, tn is now to !>•■ found.’’ To Retire Greenbacks. Regarding the currency, the report “Excluding treasury notes of l>no. now in course of extinction, silver certificates , and gold certificates, which represent actual coin held for th«dr redemption, there are now extant in the public serv- L jee .t|i'..o»i.>«>o ..f government notes <gr< en ' ba- ksi and a little more than 3PMlOO,Ol<) of national-bank notes.

No pay until you know it. i After 2.0*18 experiments, I have learned ' how to cure Rheumatism. Not to turn i.ony joints into 11.-sh again; that is Im possible. But 1 can cure th.- disease always, at any stage, and forever. I ask for no money. Simply write me a post il and I will semi you an order on your near.-st druggist for six Isittles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps it. Use it for a month, and If it docs what I claim pay your drug gist 45.50 for it. If it doesn't 1 will pay . him myself. I I have no rampies. Any medicine that can affect Rheumatism with but a few doses must be drugged to the verge of ; danger. 1 use no such drugs. It is folly ) to take them. You must get the disease ■ out of the blood. My remedy does that, even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. No matter tiow lm|H>ssil»le this seems to you, I know it 1 and 1 take the risk. I have cured tens of thousands of cases in this way, and my records show that X» out of 40 who get ; those six bottles pay, and pay gladly. 1 have learned that people in general are honest with q. physician who cures them. That is all I ask. If I fail 1 don't expect a penny from you. Simply write me a postal card or letter. Let me send you an order foq the medi cine.

They are likely to be despondent and it is not unusual to find them borrowing trouble as if they hadn't enough already. The fact is their kidneys are weak, eitl.ier naturally or because of sickness, exposure, worry or other in/luences. “I am thankful to say,” writes J. L. Camp bell. of Sycamore, 111., ’’ that Hood's Sarsapa rilla has cured me. For many years I was troubled with backache. At. times I was so bad I had to be helped from tho bed or chair. 1 am now well and strong and free from pain." What this great medicine did for him it has done for others.

This is so le eause bankers will not, any more than other men. assume, resiionsibility or risk without material motive, and th.- present as well as the prospective price of United States bonds robs banks of any motive for the. issue of bank notes. “If the present volume of paper money is no mon- than adequate to tlie present population and to current domestic trade. It is evident, that timely provision must be made for a possible increase to me.-t the enlarging requirements of larger population and increasing trade. “1 want to refer to the greenbacks and the des rability of relieving th. treasury from the responslbilit v which attaches to their redemption. This responsibility at the |»rcsent time rests very lightly. It has been, however, a heavy burden in the past, and may become in the future a source ,>f public anxiety and financial embarrassment to th,, govern ment. Thoughtful men of affairs and financiers have long argu* J for the re funding of these notes into time obliga tions. but such arguments have failed to convince the people of th'- propriety of canceling a <!• bt bearing no interest to create in its stead on< equaJly large charged with th< burden of interest. If. however. In a modification of the law’ relating to bank currency the burden of redemption can cquitalily be transferred from the treasure to the banks, with out Interest cost to the government, then the objection to their rel lenient can no longer be urged. That this result can be attained there is substantial ground for believing. Modification of Banking Act. “Tlie. following modlficatb ’is of the na tional banking act are suggested for the consideration of tho--e who feel re sponsibility in th*- matter. ■•That anv n it oual ba king association w hich shall deposit 30 cent of its capital in the form of United States bonds nt tli.-lr par va-ue. and 2" per cent of its capital in Uult* i Slates log.tl tender notes, with the tr<asurer of the United States, as security iher' for. shall be entitled to issue its dr ulating notes to on amount equal to hs paid-in and unimpaired capital.
