They will be almost as long as the Great Eastern, though not nearly so wide. Tbey will have quite as much engine power as that unfortunate steamship had, but it will be so compact and economised that it will not occupy one-third as much spacs nor be one-quarter the weight of the old paddle and sciew engines. It is difficult to estimste, confesses the New York iVstos, the smount of money that has been left in Europe this year by 'American tourists. Taking all the exi in I 'if minimum ?mf .passages out and home and the average sum disbursed on the other sid9, the aggregate cannot be far from $75,000,000. AH of this has to be paid out of the products of labor in this cnun.try,and if it is nol returned in the shape of the gold paid for our wheat, petroleum and other articles, it will represent the cost paid by this country for th? pleasure of its citizens abroad. Mrs. Potter Palmer bas called upon women sculptors to send designs in the form of miniature models of the sculpture work for the women's building. >Tbe designs must ba delivered to Mrs. Palmer's office before November 15 next. One is n group of figures iu high relief to fill the pediment over tho main en trance forty-five feet long at the base line and aoven reot Tn tne center. The second design of groups of statuary stands free above the attic cornice, resting on the base, five feet long, three feet deep and two feet high, sixty feet from .the ground. These groups consist of a central winged figure, standing about ten feet high to the tip of tho wings,and supported by smaller sitting figures. Tiie compositions should be typical of woman and woman's work in history. Each design submitted must bo accomplished by an estimate of cost, with full-sized plas ter models, delivered at jacioon rarn, and the authoress of the design accepted will receive the contract for the execution of these full-sized models. In no other dop&rtraout of the WorldV f ?? I Mi I I j I M.-fl ? / will there be a dazzling array of diamonds, opals, pmsralds and other gems, ?nd of the precious metals, but a most extensive collection of iron, copper, lead,' other ores, and of their product; of coal, granite, marble, sandstone aud other building stone; of soils, salt, petroleum, and, indeed, of almost everything, useful or beautiful, belongiug to the mineral kingdom. How extensive the mineral exhibit from other countries will bo, it is yet too early to know, but the indications are that it will surpass any that has heretofore been made. However that may be, there is no doubt that the mineral resources and products, not only of this cou itry M h whole, but of each State and vestioo, will ba of the most complete and representative description. Chief Skiff, of the P-pirtment of Miucs and Mining, is confident that this will 1m? tha x*. suit of the plans which he is pursuing. The Secretary of ??.. Trcasuiy has prepared a pamphlet in rogird to the volu no of money in circulation. It shows that the amount in circulation July 1, 1865, was $714,702,095. Of this amount 8689,702,995 was paper money. During the calendar year 1865 the averago market price of gold wes 157. So it required $157 in currency to purchase as much of auy commodity as could be purchased with $100 in gold. The $714,702,995 then in circulation was, therefore, equivalent as an average for the year to only $646,301,270 of the money which has constituted the currency of this country since January 1, 1879.

Ex-Senator Norwood Oflfen a Subnti tato for the Sub-Treasury Bill. Ha Proposes the Creation of a Billion and a Half of Papar Honey to be Distributed to the States and IiOaned to the Oitisens. I Thomas M. Norwooi, Ex-United States Senator of Georgia, by invitation of tte Legislature of that State to addref* them on the Alliance aub-treasury plan, spoke at Atlanta a few days ago on the general ouestion of the finances and "persona a'mctive to tin Weat and South, and will finally destroy tho Eastern States. It produces congestiou in one part of our political body and paralysis in the other parts. His plan is in brief, for Congress to direct its Secretary of tho Treasury to prepare a sufficient numl?er of legal tender notes of convenient denominations, which, added to the existing currency, will give thirty, forty, or lifty dollars per capita. These notei are to Ik? receivable for all debts and dues except duties on imports. They are to be redeemed by th? United States Government on presentation at the treasury or at sub-trens uries estnb ished at convenient citien. The trea?nrcr shall hold ?l least pet cent, of the issue in coin, gold and silver, Jo redeem the notes, that being enough and ns much na banks now hold for re demotion purposes. The percentage of coin, however, cart be regulated by ex pericnce. He proposes to re adjust and measurably equalise the circulation of tl.Q currency in tl^ia war: J-'iyft State on aniount which added to its existing circulation will make the amount | cr capita decided on by Congress. The banking capital in each .State is to'be the standard for ascertaining its circulation, unless n better can be devised. To illustrate: Georgia's population in round numbers in 2,000,000. The amount per capita fixed by Congress for the whole population being $10, Georgia would be entitled to eighty million dollars, but her present banking capital being thirty millions, that sum must be deducted and Ivrquota of legal tenders would be fifty millions. The ratable amount of circulation he proposer rhall be used by each StHte according ns the people of the Btnte shall determine. That ft, it may bo used in banking or bo let by tlio State acting through a bureau of flnaucc to individuals on such securities as a prudent bank now takes for loans. His plan is for end State to hold a percentage of this cur I VWWtKiKItt tWtttlMudW1 uala and corporations; that each Stat shall fix by law a reasonable rate of inter est, not above 5 per cent , and by lav name,the securities on which the bureai of flninco shall lend, the percentage o vn I no to be lent and time; that land shal l?c one of the securities, and that end] State shall lend on its own products For instance, Georgia's great producl being cotton, it should bo security or col laricini under proper and safe conditions; wheat and corn being the chief products of Kaunas, Iowa, etc., they should lend on these products Norwood contends that when money can draw to itself ^ per cent, by going into manufacturers, uiiuing, etc., it will go there, and thin all the natural resources of the State will he developed and its wealth increased to the lienetit of every citizen, whereas hanking produces no wealth and benefits oply the few who receive the dividends. Norwood took Qeorgia and Kansas to illustrate what can he done under his flStati XuU set jmM? r.r.i il?n id per ccwt. of the legal tenders to pro tcct its own citizens against financial crises and squeezes. Oeorgia could in crease her hanking capital $ 10,000, O0( slid lend $00,000,000 on long time, interest payable semi-annually, .to individuals and corpor tions who have valunhlc mines to he developed and who desire to build cotton factories, to manufacture)s of wooden wares and iron; in short, to bring into activity and use her natural resources, which arc incalculable and which have lain untouched for twentyfive years only because her people have had 110 money to work with. With $00, 000,000 thus lent by the State at 5 per cent she would receive annually one million, five hundred thousand dollars in interest With that she could establish a sinking fund of $500,000 per annum, and iu twenty years p*y off her funded debt. With this in hand she could begin to reduce State taxation at once;could largely increase her school funds, ami establish a I llliroau *?f imi*.i/? ?^ * "? ** ? r ... imhui^ixiiuu, nun in n very lew years discontinue taxation except for county and municipal purposes. Borrowers Irom the State, would get value received in the loan as low interest, would thus take the place of taxpayers. Kansas could lend to her citizens at 5, 4 or three per cent, and then they could lift the present mortgage debt of $235.000,000, due mainly to the East, and at the same time put interest money enough in the State treasury to relieve tiiem from State taxation. He contends that as all the monev that can he b mowed is in the Eastern Stites, it is practically useless to the South and West. Under the system he advocates the money nnd security are in the same State ? nre i.eighhors and will exchange - and uitere twill go to the benefit 'of both lender and borrower and all the people in tlie State; whereas, now the interest paid, aa a rule goes Ksst. The interest now paid per annum by the wnoie people goes to enrich those who are already too rich fo the safe y of the Republic, and that interest would be distrinnteH among the ".Thole |?copic taken by RtAtca. He contends that the present banking system is a monopoly, because it is baser! on but one class of securities?Government bonds; second, that it is monarchical, being fashioned on the plan of the Bank of England during the first century of its existence; and. third, that our banking system is no' based on money or coin, but on paper credit. The whole system rests on ihe Government's credit, whereas his proposed system would rest 41 VA?tUAil9 ^ MI? ? - 5 t on coin in the treasury sufficient to nMst all demands of foreign commerce and do* mestic trade. Norwood's substitute for the AINance sub-treasury plan avoids Federal action. Kach State lends to fanners on land and on its own especial products at low inter, cat. Thus lie says he eatabliahsa equality for nil and shows favoritism to none. He contends that his plan obviates every objection hitherto msde to the Alliance sub* treasury piae, and gives tanners sure relief, as the allotment of currency he proposes not only etpialiEoi it if lent by States as the (States' volume of currency, but thus distributed will remain permanent in each State, because the (State being the lender and ihe principal being lent to its citiicns it must return to Urn . ? State with Interest as the principal Kansas is increasing but slowly since last year. The principal gains have been in the cities and towns where the Citisens' Alliance has been hard at work this year. He estimates the increase at 20 per cent, over last year. Speaking of the negroes in the South ho said: "They are flocking to us in the South. I believe that this movement is tho solution of the race problem. It divides the colored as well as the white vote of the South. If it docs nothing else it will do that much good at least.
