It does not now desire to discuss it further than to call attention to the apparent discrepancy between his statements concerning the per capita circulation of money with those found in the Chicago News Almanac, which over the table says that the table was prepared at the Treasury department. In 1865, according to this table, there was a per capita circulation of $20.57, in 1869 of $17.60, and in 1890 of $23.45. It will be remembered that General Weaver's figures were $85 and $9. This strikes at the very root of his argument concerning the cause of hard times.
