Overtrade, overproduction and extravagance in private and public expenditures, partly Induced by speculation, were largely responsi ble for the country's business elffleul- tlea. The day had passed when the volume of money was Its most impor tant factor. Improved facilities for transportation and method of exchange had lessened the importance of a large volumes The first essential was the stability of public credit. The apparent reluctance of the pecple of the United (States to redeem their pub-lie obligations was the chief cause of distrust. "Current redemption of demand obligations of the Government was the chief 'problem, of the Treasury to solve.

The funding onl cancellation, of these obligations so that the. maintenance of the gold reserve would be no longer necessary was the most desirable pol icy. Whether it was the most practical was another nuestion. So far as the contraction' of the currency was concerned, Eckels -did not think it would follow the gfadual retirement of greenbacks, provided credit was reasonably stable. The banks would supply the needed currency or gold would tome irom aproac John Sherman Whose record as Secretary of the Treasury is I one of the best of modern times, holds that the greenbacks are a very desirable currency for circulation.

There would be no trouble about their redemption when the revenues of the country exceeded the i expenditure It is because the revenues have fallen short that there has been any disposition to exchange greenbacks for gold. Just now, the country is not menaced by a declining gold That reserve now stands as about 2115,000,000, with a constant up ward tendency. The gold reserve Is no longer a. subject of public anxiety. The fact that there is little or no prospect that It will fall down so as to disturb the finances of the country during the next Administration, lends force to the declaration of Sherman that the green backs are a very good currency in good times.

'A movement has for the an nexation of certain outlying districts to These districts are best known as Piedmont, Golden Gate, and Temescal As to the latter, a test vote was taken some years ago when the plan was defeated by the Inhabitants of that district. It does not appear that many persons' Inside of the city are just now active in bringing about any further annexation of territory. These territorial elections are attended with large expenses.

The one propo sing to annex Temescal cost1 the city several thousand dollars. Propositions of, that kind should not be brought to a vote unless there Is pretty sure prospect that they "will carry. There does not appear to be any strong assurance1 that this present an nexation scheme would find favor with a majority of the voters In these out lying districts. A mere' minority pro position would be utterly fruitless, ex cept to, pile up costs. The city would hardly be justified in making further annexation; experiments at present, unless a petition was signed showing that there ia a clear majority of voters In these districts who are really In favor of annexation, i It Is doubtful if any such! showing could be made.

But a census of voters could be made expense, ij 1 There are certain advantages which the suburban districts might Obtain by coming into the city, such for Instance, as street street lighting. police, and so on.
