Profit Upon the Circulation of the
National Banks.

The Comptroller of the Currency has
made a statement which shows that the
whole amount of interest received by the
National banks upon bonds deposited as
security for circulation was, on July l,
SIC, ,912, ,736. If from this amount be de-
Quoted ten per cent. ($l ,691 ,273), which is
the interest upon that portion of the
bonds on which the banks receive no cir
culation, and also the one per cent. tax on
circulation ($3, ,1SS ,29S, or a total of ST.
S79 ,564), there will remain s., ,033, ,172,
| which is the net amount of interest receiv-
ed by the banks upon 80 per cent. of the
| bonds deposited as security for their cir
| culating notes. The National banks now
hold about $40, ,OOO, 900 of ten-forty bonds.
If these are converted into per cents.
! the net amount of interest received by
the banks on the 1st of August will be
$11 ,776, ,2O7. If all of the bonds held by
| the National banks are converted into 4
per cents. and the same deductions made
as before, the net amount of interest re-
! ceived by the National banks upon the 90
| per cent. of bonds upon which circulation
| is issued will be SIS, ,564, ,S75.
If the present capital of the National
banks was loaned upon bonds and mort
cages at eight per cent. it would yield
$29, 1892 ,051 interest annually. The net
income derived by the National banks
from United States bonds, if bearing in
terest at four per cent, and from the lo8T
of the amount OF circulation issued upOT
these bonds at eight per cent, amounts Il
$36, ,412 ,61S, which leaves a difference o
Sc, 500, ,567 as the profit of National banks
upon circulation, based upon four PEI
!, cent. bonds, which is equal to one ant
seVenty-fOur One-hundredths per cent. OIL
the capital invested.
Under similar circumstance the profit
upon circulation to the National banks il
localities where the rate of interest is si2
per cent. would be about two per cent
more than if their entire capital was di
rectly loaned at six per cent. upon bond
t and mortgages.
The Comptroller has also made a state
ment, showing that the National bank
now in existence are entitled to Teceiv
: upon their present capital, under sectio
: 5,17I of the Revised Statutes, 1899, ,372, 81
/ of circulating notes. The total amouu
issued is 1913, ,045, ,346. The Nations
!, banks already organized and in operatio
S are therefore entitled to receive upon th
:, deposit of the necessary amount of Unite
G bonds, sac, 1927 $50 of additional circul;
/ tion. In other words, they can increaS
their circulation one-fifth if at any tim
l. they are in want of the additions
IS amount, or if any profit can be made o
e an additional issue.

THE INDIAN HUNTER.

Whom the Summer harvest was gatherd In,
And The theaf Of the cleaner grew white and thin
And The plowsharc was In is furrow left
Where the stubble land had been lately cleft,
An Indian hunter, with unstrung bow,
Lookd down where the valley lay strtoh'd below
He was stranger there, and all that day
Had been out on the bills, perilous way
But the foot Of the deer was Ear and feet,
And tho wolf kept aloof from the hunters feet,
And bitter feelings passed DER him then
AS he stood by the populcus haunts os men.
The winds Of Autumn came over the woods
As the sun stole out from their soliludes;
Inc moss was white on the naples trunk,
ana dead from its arms the hale vino shruuk,
And ripened the mellow fruit hung, and red
Were the trees wiihered leaves around Il shed.
The foot Of the reaper moved slow on the lawn,
And the sickle cut down the yellow corn;
Ihe mower sung loud by the meadow side,
Whefe The miJs Of evening wero spreading wide
And the voice Of the herdHman came up the lea,
And the dance went round by the geenwood tree
When the hunter turned away from that scene,
Where the home Of his fathers once had been
And heard by the distant aud measured stroke
That the woodman hewed down the giant oak,
And burning thoughts flashed over his mind
or the white mans faith and love unkind
The moon of the harvest grew high and bri ght !;
AZ her golden horn pierced the cloud of white
a fooistep washeard in tbs rustling brake,
Where the beech ovorshadowed the misty lake,
AND mourning voice, plunge from the shore
And The hunter was seen on the hills no more.
When years had passed on by that still lakeside
The fisher looked down through the river tied,
And there. on the smooth yellow sand, displayed
skeleton wasted and white was laid, [slow
And I was seen, as the waters moved deep aud
That the hand was still grasping hunters bow.

The DrovGs journal truthfully says
that we need to keep more sheep. In
all parts of this great country TO secure
health and comfort its people must
have food and clothing. The sheep
furnishes tho best and most wholesome
animal food, and the most comfortable
clothing yet tested by the masses OF
our people. In malarial districts
especially those where extremes OF
heat and cold are froquent-woolen
clothing and ireer and more common
diet of young mutton would insure
better health and better vigor than
generally characterizes pork eaters and
the wearers of cotton and fine linen.
Let no one indulge single tear OF
over production of either mutton OF
wool. Could our hocks bc trippled OF
quadrupled, they would add not only
10 the comfort and healthfulness Of tho
people, but TO their intelligence and
sobriety, as we'll as to the produtive'
ness Of every field used as a sheep
pasture.
