MONETARY COMMISSION'S REPORT
l?y Authority of the Inrtl inapolii
Uu?la?M Men'* xCyuvei?tIo?.
T^fr\|;?port of the Monotary Com
mission und?r authority of
the eouveutioo of business men, held
in Indianapolis U%t Tanusry, has just
been made public. The existing gold
standard on which business has been
done tiueo 1879 ia maintained on th<
^rpund the industrial interests de
maud certainty as to what tho stand
ard shall bo. To this ond it ia urged
that tho United States should remove
all uncertainty as to the mcaniug oi
"coin" in its obligations, theroby sav
ing the taxpayer by tho ability to bor
row at ft lower rate of interest. No
attempt ia made to vomovo tho exist
ing Mlver dollar*, nor to ehango their
legal tender quality, <"> the contrary,
a plaee is provided for thorn in the
circulation by forbiddiug tho issue of
any paper moneyother than silver cer?
tilicatea in denominations below $10.
It ia regarded by the Commission as
daugcrous to maintain tho prosent
practice of using Government demand
obligations as money.
The Commission, theieforo, strongly
urge the Government to withdraw its
domaud obligations now used as money,
deeliuo to provide gold for oxportera
and put tho burden and expense of
maintaining a redeemable paper
circulation upon tho banks. In order
to moot tho domand obligations, the
present reserves of gold in tho Treasury
furnish a sufficient sum to be Bet aside
in a Division of Issue and Redemption;
and the Secretary of the Treasury is
aiithoii^od to sell bonds whomever the
reserves need replenishment. In this
lyfy, or from surplus revenue, tho do
maud obligations (thut is, United
States notes and Treasury notes of
1890,) can bo removed in such a way
that the cost to the country can bo re
duced, with the result of himplifyiug
our currency, au(l adding to confidence
in the eei tainty of our standard, liy
the plan of the Commission tho with
drawal of Government paper is so
arrangod that contraction cannot possi
bly take place; if United States notos
ui o cancelled their plsoe will be taken
by tho gold paid out fur them, or by
tho expansion of bank notes. \?
Tho doiuaud obligations of the Uni-.
ted States wore not a money based on
property; they wore only a debt. On
tho other hand, a bank note is never
issued (fraud, of corn-He, excluded) ex
cept for a consideration in negotiable
property of equai or greater value.
The bank note coiuca forth as the se
quel of a business transaction, and is
based on tho active property of tho
country which is passing between pro
ducers aud consumers. Tliisproperty
is always negotiable aud alw ys equal
to tho duty of meeting the note liabil
ity. Bank notes aio as sound as the
business transactions of the conntry.
Tho ourrohcy ql^tho country, more
over, should increase as the transac
tions of tho country increase; bene*
tho rigid uuohanging issues of tho
Government innkojthctn an inelastic
part of the circulation, while by tho
very process of their issuo bank notes
alone can be automatically adjusted to
tho changing transactions of the busi
ness community!
In a uoncling tho present national
banking system, the Commission wore
actuated by a desire to secure abso
lute safety to the note holder; to umko
tho notes uniform and of equal cur
rency in all parts of tho country to
create an elastic system, which, while
expanding in fesponso to increasing
transactions, should healthily contract
when transactions diminish, and which
would holp in a belter ' distribution of
banking facilities throughout the
Western and Houthern States.
While providing for the partial uso
of bonds for securing notes (twenty
live per cent, of tho capital) the Com
mission propose that notes beyond
this should be issued on all, instead
I of a part of tho resources of a bank;
and within a fen* years that no special
bond security 6bould be required.
Hanks may isuue notes up to sixty per
cent, of their capital without re
straint; for i&suo- beyond taxty per
cent, and up to oighty por cent, they
pay a tax of two per ceut. ; for those
beyond eighty per cent, and up to 100
per cent, they pay a tux of *ix per
cent. These notes would be a prior
lij^i upon all the resources of the
bank, aud, iu addition, upon tho
stockholders' liability. Moreover, all
banks issuing notes contribute livo
per ccnt. of their circulation a? a pnr
raanent guaranly fund. For daily re
demptions, banks are required to keep
a fivo per ccnt. redemption fund in
tho hands of tho Comptroller of tho
Currency. Banks of $25,000 capital
mny bo established in places uf -1000
inhabitants, and branch bauka are
also uermitted.

THE SECRET OF THEIR LABOR

A special from Charlotte, N. C. , to
the Philadelphia (Pa:) Record, t #ys;
In view of the extoaajvo wage reduo
tione made by the Sew Euglaud mill*
qlfl^flcycouut of the compotiou of the
Bou^h, tho growing mill industry iu
the Southern Stales, which in proving
oue cp the meat poteat iuflueucoa in
buildiug up tho great region below the
Mason and J>ixon line, is of spccial in
terest. Charfotto is tho oontre of the
cotton maoufacturmg interests in the
l'iedmont region, which oxtonds fro?f
Lynchburg, Vn. , on the north, to At
lanta, Ga,, on the south. Iu 1830,
when I). W. OatoB established the first
cotton mill horo, the population was
5,600, Jn 18)0 it had 11,550 pooplo.
Five years lator the consus ga- * 19,000,
and in Tuly, 1807, the towu boastod
3\ 000. Not only are there seven oot
"To*. mills iu the place or iu tho im
modVato outskirts, but within a radius
of 100 miles, there aro over 200 others,
embracing 64 por cent, of tho entiro
number of spindles in tho South, and
'02 per cont. of all tho looms.
The cotton mills of Charlotto, ex
clusive of the hosiery, towel aud sa9h
oord factories, employ ii.845 operatives.
They consumo weekly 39(5 bales of cot
ton, 'and disburso ovcrv Saturday night
in wagos, in cash, JMp&O- ^be Iligh

COTTON AT THE MILL I?OOHfl.
? The mills of Charlotte carry about
$3,0ft0 spindles, the largest of them, tho
Viotor, carrying 13, (W0; tho Atherton
come* noxt with 10,000, a peculiarjMfcf,
actoristic of tho Atherton, whienws
on tho outskirts of tho towu, being that
cotton grows at tho very doors of the
mill, hach mill is surrounded with its
eolonj' of working i.eoplo.
There are SO miles of macadamized
roads in Mecklenburg county and 30
miles of this is in the corporate limits of
the town. Thoy have cost $2i09 a mile
to build. At tho head of the broad stair
way of tho Southern Manufacturers'
Clhb iu Charlotte is a big transparency,
ft pictures a broad, hard roadway ovor
which a two horso team is dragging
easily a load of 12 balos of cotton. It
takes 475 pounds of cotton to make a
bale, so bore is represented more than
three tons of draft, including tho wagon
itself. '*
A SOUTHERN OWNBrtV VlEWH.
In nn interview with Mr, L, A. Cool
idge.of the Boston Journal, R. M. Gates,
Jr., the proprietor of tho Gold Crown
Hosiery Works, one of tho leading
hosiery concorna of the South, said re
garding the null industry: ".Such a
thins as a striko is unknown, and thoro
bus ne'ver been any tcudenAv.in that
direction among the peojra in the
mills.
"It is true that o\u wages, as a rule,
aro nut so largo as farther north, but
the diflerenoo is not so great as some
imagine. L have iu mind at thin moment
a case where my ostabliehmont paid 12}
routs a dozen for a class of work which
cost only cents a dozen in Philadel
phia, nncl I nave been assured that there
is a certain mill in New Hampshire
where the Philadelphia rate prevails.
Almost all my operatives are girls. I
havo only 17 men in my wholo place,
(lirla who used to bo satisfied with $4 a
week are not satisfied now unless they
make $3 a week.
PROSPERITY OF EMPLOYES.
"You would bo surprised to know
how cheaply people can live. I havo in
mind the case of an old woman in my
employ who lived ou tho outskirts of
the town aud who earned 70 cents a
day. Hho told me her entire living ex
penses for a week wero <55 cents. Tlion,
too, eutiro families work iu tho mills,
f havo a family in my employ consist
ing of eix people who draw out of tho
mill 8!>o a month among them.
"Kent is uot a?serious item in the
cost of living. Tho mills used to give
their housea^to the operatives rent free.
That was when tho operatives worked
12 hours a day. The mill owners got
together and reduced tho hours of labor
to 11 a day, and at the samo time began
to charge a tmall rent of 20 cents a week
for evory room. So far as religion ia
concerned, 1 can only say that the mill
owners havo dono a good deal to givo
their holp roligious opportunities. Sev
eral of the mills havo built chapels for
f--.
tho operatives, usually Presoyterian,
Baptist or Methodist.
OWNERS AS MILL MANAQER3.
"Hero is a point to bo bornoin mind:
You will find that the owners of mills
down here aro ajways personally active
in tho management. -My father, for in
stance, is the active superintendent and
treasurer of tho Charlotte Miils, which
ho established seventeen years ago,
and I am tho samo In mine. That is
the rulo evorywhoro.
"Tnko the Holt family, which is tho
woalthiost and most influential manu
facturing family in tho Stato. Edwin
St. Holt built tho first cott-ou mill in
tho Stato in and now tho family
controls n-> Ions than thirty-two mills.
Everyone of these mills are under the
persoual active management of soma,
member of the favaii^-.
THE WA<.,: QUESTION.
"Whi'o tho individual coat of labor
in the South is undoubtedly lower than
in the North, tho collective cost is not
no very much different. One man ?u
tike North, for instance, will handle
moro machines than one man will
handle here, and the total amount of
wages paid for work performed is sot
so very much higher thers than here
after all.
N^*'Itis a striking fact that whila the
menmaoturing cenLv* *re being rein
forced from tba farms the agricultural
iatereats have not .suffered at all, bat
on th a contrary _h?Ts^ improved. The
explanation ia that** t Wpl aces "of^tlla
wWte 'croppers" hava been taken by
negroes. Onr agricultural population
is beooming largely colored. The
negroes cannot work w the mlU?
