The statement of the secretary of the
treasury showing the amount of money
in circulation in the United States dur
ing the last thirty years shows a gradual
increase in the volume and also in the
per capita, from $13.S5 in 1860 to S23. -
in 1891. But while the total amount has
increased more than 800 per cent, the
per capita has not doubled. Still, if the
money in existence was in active circu-
lation we would have good and lively
times, notwithstanding the fact that by
reason of our habits and methods of liv-
ing we require more than twice as much
money to live relatively as well as it did
thirty years ago.

September is the fair month of the

one of her 106 counties, will take unusual
pride in displaying at the fairs which
will be held the biggest potatoes, pump
kins, apples, pears, ears of corn and
punches of grapes, the plumpest wheat
and oats and rye, and othar things too
numerous to mention, to say nothing of
the exhibits of live stock, fast horses,

of events this season, the Southern Kan

the month, and will be as a doxology,
rendered in full chorus, the whole con-

IT was stated in Saturdays dispatches
that the indications of the Ohio cam
psign, as to the senatorial contest on the
Republican side, appear TO favor the sue
cess of Ex-Governor Foraker over Senator
Sherman. This, if true. would seem to
have a special significance as rejecting
popular sentiment on the silver coinage
question. The senator has taken high
ground on that question, and has made
the campaign on the anti free coinage
side of the question. Nothing else has
entered into the senatorial contest so far
as the public outside Of Ohio know.

The people who believe a European
war is imminent are asking why Russia
should want to borrow $50, 600, 600 if she
does not want 1t 10 equip armies. But
the Kansas City Star thinks anoth3
question just as important. 1t asks:
"Would French or English bankers be
willing to loan Russia such an amount If
she wished it for war purposes:' Why
not? II the French believed Russia
wanted money with which to make war
on Germany, their old-time and impla-
cable enemy, it IS bat natural TO suppose
such financial aid would be promptly af-
forded. Likewise as 70 England. with
whose money loaners 1t would be purely
a matter of business. a more plausible
reason for. the loans mentioned, to our
mind, is that Russia needs the money to
relieve the distress among her own peo-
pie caused by the disastrous drouth that
has and does still prevail in several of
her provinces,

The rehuent wave Of gold from Europe
has begun and as the crop surplus goes
out the gold will continue to come in.
The New York World remarks that there
is "some satisfaction in the reflection
that it has not been greatly missed. but
it is also pleasant to fiud that Europe is
ready to pay for our grain in gold in
stead of remitting in our own securities.
1t points to decidedly more cheerful
financial outlook than there was any
reason to expect six months ago" The
Worlds reference to "our own" securi-
ties is, in one sense, another gratifying
point; and that is it is an admission of
the superior character of such securities
as investments. The profits returned
from their American investments exceed
The current exchange for cash, hence,
they pay the cash because it is cheaper
to them.

Senator Cullom, who had the privilege
of attending garden party ornamented
by the glittering presence Of Emperor
William, says that ''the incident did not
make his head swim" But he neglects
to add how the emperors head felt 1t
is not often that an emperor gets an op-
portunity of coming in actual contact
with a real live United States senator,
and it is possible that the incident may
have had something to do with the en-
peror's expressed desire to visit the
United States during the worlds fair in

MORE CALAMITY.
From the Usage Chronicle.

From the Usage Chronicle.
Mr.. Thomas Cain bought another farm
last week. This time it is the Reid farm
of eighty acres, adjoining the 110 school
house on the south. The price paid was
81 500 cash, which is dirt cheap. This is
the second piece of land Mr.. Cain has
bought this year and paid cash for, and
he makes his money farming, and isn't a
Republican either, and we can remember
the time when he was husking corn for
every seventh bushel in this county, and
sixty acres was all the land he had. Now
Mr.. Cain has 900 acres, all paid for, of
well improved land, big red barn and
a fine white dwelling house, the finest
herd of thoroughbred Durham cattle in
the county, horses and hogs till you can't
rest, and all this has been made Except
the first sixty acres which he bought with
money earned fighting for Uncle Sam by
Mr.. Cain and his estimable wife in the last
twenty years, out of their land, their
hogs, their COWS and their chickens, not
a cent through speculations of any kind.
And still the cry goes on that farming
don't pay, and as the Peoples Herald
has it that farmers "can't hardly live
we'll at all little Bit" or words to that
effect. Well, we must confess the way
much of the farming in Kansas is done
1t don't pay, but when such men as T..
Cain, C. w. Wood, II. Black, George
Hamaker, G.. Schneider, Joe Haller and
scores of others that we might name are
getting rich at it, the fault must be in
the mode of farming and not in the pro
ductiveness of the soil, the climate or
the laws governing the finances and the
markets of the country.

From the New York Sun.
1t was announced a fortnight ago at a
convention of the Kansas Alliance IN
Topeka that a company with capital of
90 million dollars had been organized In
New York to transact the commercial
business of the Alliance and protect lts
members against fraud. We have been
unable to learn anything in New York
about this company or its managers or
its charter or its capital or its stock
holders or the location of its offices; aud
we must infer that il has reasons for
keeping in the shade while preparing Ia
carry on philanthropic operations IN
Kansas with a capital of 20 millions.
The members of the Alliance, however,
we've notified by the president of the To-
peka convention that they had an oppor-
tunity of investing their spare cash IN
the stock of the big company without go
ing to its headquarters In New York; and
it is probable that some of them will
seize the opportunity when they get the
price of their crops. 1t is proper TO say
that. before thus investing their money,
it would be well for them to visit New
York, hunt up the Alliance company
and take look at its capital, If they can

Prom the Kansas City Star.
The howl of the calamity apostles in
Kansas may prove ultimately beneficial
to the state by bringing out the real facts
in the case. The speeches of Peffer and
Simpson in the east have created much
alarm regarding Kansas securities, and
have caused careful investigation to be
made regarding the financial condition
of the state. The result, as tending to
show steady dimunition in the mort
gage indebtedness of the state, will have
the effect of restoring confidence and Of
more fully familiarizing the general
public with the splendid resources Of the
