There is one cause for sincere con-

What has the Harrison administra-
ton done for the national finances
On March l, 1873, the money in actual
circulation throughout the country
that is outside the Treasury and i'll the
hands of the people and in the banks
was S905,793,SO7. On October l,
1889, the circulation was $1,4O5O18,
800. The figures will be found in the
latest yearly report of the head of the
Treasury, that Was made ten months
ago, on page So. There has been add
ell to the circulation of the country
over S45,OO0,OOO in the past twelve
months, according to statement
which Secretary Window made a few
days ago for publication. Adding
tlis sum to the 81 ,4O5 100000 reveal
ed October /, 1889, the circulation at
this moment amounts to more than 81

For each man, woman and child in the

man, woman and child in the country
to-day (Septembor %, 199O) there is
in circulation $22.3O.

already built Or the building and i'm
proving of business property; while in
Cincinnati there are over 400 associa-
tons through which the members de-
post over $4,000 per month. After
a careful research it has been estimat-
ed that the country at large contains
over 5000 associations, with an aver
age membership of over 200 share
holders, which indicates that 100000
