Never before has there been
such a denund for small bills and
coins and the mints seem utterly
unable to supply it. Although
the fractional currency extant is
almost $200,00 J.000 or two dollars
for every individual, and al
though there is a vast number of
one and two dollar silver certifi
cates outstanding, the cry is for
more. As a result Congress re
cently passed a law permitting
national bank notes of one and
' two dollar decominatioo.althougb
these were prohibited many
years ago.
I Unquestionably the increase in
the price of all commodities has
bad much to do with the short
'aire of fractional currency and
small bills. It requires a good
deal more cash in band for mar
keting now than formerly, and
in Kpite of banks abouudiug, the
individual now carries more
monev In bis pocket than was bis
custom a decade ago. There are
so many large corporations witti
big payrolls that banks necessar
llv are put to it to collect weekly
the amounts needed in small
bills. Eventually they get bacit,
but not swiftly enongh.
It is rather hard on Uncle bam
that just at this time the price of
silver is so hieh He has unlimi
ted rowers of coiniog fractional
currency and used to do it at a
gcoi deal more than 100 per
cent, profit. Unlonunaieiy
when silver was low it never oc
curred to him to lay in a large
stock, so that now he is compell
ed to py almost twice as much
as three years ago and his pro!
its are by so much reduced
Still that would not be so bad l
he could supply all demands and
that Is what he cannot do for
lack of stamping machine.
An effort has leen made to use
this occasion to put silver dollars
into circulation but ith little
result. There are hundreds of
