GOLD Is COMING BACK.
A Turn Arrives in the Circulation of the
Yellow Coin.
New York Press.

Nearly S75, 200, 900 in gold has been
furnished by the United States since
January 1st to Europe to help bank
ers and speculators there out of diff
culties into which wildcat investments
had placed them. The return move
ment has now started, however, and
already 81, 100000 in gold eagles are
known to be on their way to this coun-
try.
This movement is a natural one. for
in addition to the fact that American
bankers largely overpaid any inter
national trade balance there may have
been against them, the exports of
grain from this country have been
enormous during the past two months,
and the gold is simply the payment
for the merchandise.
A large part of the gold shipments
were made while the sterling exchange
rates were above the export point.
Bankers and merchants could not I'M
derstand it. The explanation was fur
nished by prominent national bank
president to Press reporter last
evening. A number OF English capital
lists, seeing the gold was needed, raised
fund to defray the interest charges
on the gold while in transit. From
seven to ten days elapsefrom the plac-
ing OF the gold on the steamer until it
is in use on the other side, and the in
terest charged, for even such a short
period, on millions of dollars is very
important item. 1t is estimated that,
had the interest charges not been paid
in this manner, only about S4O,O00,-
600, instead of SIS, 100000, would
have been shipped.
But the New York bankers are not
going to let the gold stay abroad for
want of inducement to bring it back
They are therefore going to pursue the
tactics OF the English capitalists. In
other words, they are going to pay the
interest charges on the gold while in
transit.
The Fourth National Bank, OF which
j. Edward Simmons is president, it
was learned yesterday, already ad-
vanced large amount OF money for
the purpose of importing gold, and
other banks will, il Is understood, soon
join in the plan.
Of the 81, 100000 already coming to
this country 81 100000 is consigned
to Heidelbach, Ickleheimer & Co. and
the remainder o Lazard Freres. Both
firms were very heavy exporters OF the
yellow metal early III the year.

Col. Nettleton's Irrigating Scheme.

Col f. S. Nettleton and assistant,
Mr.. Follet, arrived in the city yester-
day. While in this vicinity it is the
colonels intention to make measure
ments OF the river. On Monday he
leaves for st. Mary's lake. This is
situated right at the foot of the divid
ing range OF the Rockies and is sur
rounded by high hills. It's outlet is
the st. Mary's river, which flows north
ward and whose waters eventually
mingle with the stream that flows
through Lethbridge. The lake is fed
by numerous mountain streams and
constantly sends toward the north a
large body OF water. Within about
ten miles of the lake the south fork OF
the Milk river takes it's rise. The Milk
is a sluggish stream, which almost en-
tirely fails in dry weather. 1t flows
north, crosses the dominion line, runs
through the dominion for sixty or
seventy miles, and then crossing back
pursues its course through Choteau
county to q point below Glasgow,
where it strikes the Missouri.
A scheme, the advisability OF which
the colonel is going to investigate, con.
templates the tapping OF this lake and
the divertlng OF its waters into the
Milk river. This would make it q
stream of live and constantly running
water and would furnish to northern
Choteau irrigation which would b'
of great advantage to that section
However, at this point an interestin!
question ARISES. The st. Mary's rive
would of course be practically driet
up or at least much lessened in it
flow. Will the international comit.
existing between this country and tn
dominion allow the United States Il
divert from it's natural channel, there
by perhaps injuring a neighbor, a flow
ing stream of water, and should tn
United States i'm defiance of this goo
feeling do so, could not the angry Ks
nucks turn all the waters from tn
Milk on their own side to some othe
section? The question may becom
one of international interest and tn
result OF the Investigations will /
awaited with great curiosity. III
colonel will be accompanied to tt
scene by Senator T. c. Power an
others.-Great Falls Tribune.

MKINLEY ON THE STUMP.
Free Trade Editors Ask Him Some Questions
Which are Promptly Answered.

Major Mckinley addressed a large
audience at Coshocton, Ohio, last
week. and during his speech the editors
OF the local Democratic organs pro-
pounded a number of questions to
him. The first question asked was:
'Is it not true that the duty paid
on an article imported into our coun-
try and called a tariff is tax to be
paid by the person that consumes or
uses the article?"
Major McKinley's answer was: "a
revenue tariff such as the party of
this editor advocates is always paid
by the consumer, because if you put a
tariff on a non-competing foreign pro-
duct, product we cannot produce in
this country, then the price of that
product to us is the foreign price with
the American tariff added, and that
is paid by the American consumer.
"In the case OF a protective tariff, it
may for a time be paid by the con-
sumner while We are building up the in
dustry; but when we have reached the
successful manufacture OF any product
in the United States under a protect
ing tariff, competition at home fixes
and regulates the price, and the Amer
lean consumer does not pay the tax. +"
Mr.. Mckinley gave Illustrations of
this argument. The second question
was:
"Is it not true that the founders of
our federal government regarded a
tariff as a means for raising revenue
for the support OF the federal govern
ment; in other words, a method OF
federal taXation?"
Mr.. McKinley's answer was: 1.-The
fathers OF our country expressly de-
clared that the object OF the first tar
iff law ever passed was to raise reve-
nue. for the government and to encour-
age and promote manufacturing
interests in the United States.
"rhat first tariff law was not for
revenue only, but it was for revenue
and to promote domestic manufac.
lures. That was the law signed oy
George Washington and approved by
the fathers OF the republic"
Another question was: "Is it not
true that the taxing powers OF the
government are exhausted when it has
raised an amount OF money sufficient
for the administration OF the govern
ment?"
Major Mckinley said: "My answer
to that is that under the Democratic
revenue policy from 1916 to 1860 the
taxing powers OF the government were
exhausted before money enough was
raised to pay the ordinary expenses
of the government"
Another question was: "If, by a
protective tariff, you compel a citizen
OF Coshocton county to pay $50 for a
suit of clothes that he could buy foi
$40 but for such tariff, who is protect
ed and who pays the expenses OF such
projections"
Mr.. Mckinley replied: ''The adver
tising columns of the Standard itself
which announced that suits of mems
clothing can now be bought in Coshoc
ton at frorL SO so to S25." Mr.. Nc
/ Kinney also read advertisements from
a number OF daily papers of that days
issue which declared that clothing was
never so cheap in the United States as
it is today. He also added that a
bushel of wheat would never buy sc
much since the days OF Washington
as it does now.

Charmed by a Rattlesnake.

Anneston, Ala, correspondence st.
Louis Globe Democrat: Mr.. Murphy,
a farmer who lives in the northern
part OF the county, will have occasion
all his life to be thankful that he is a
good marksman, blessed with an ex-
traordinary steadiness of nerve. His
house is situated on a pretty little
plateau, which slants off by a steep
declivity into deep ravine, within a
few feet of the back door, leaving only
8 narrow strip OF yard. A slight fence
runs along this bank, merely to keep
the children from falling over. At the
bottom of the rayine runs a stream,
with deep holes in it, and the banks
are in many places masses of rock,
piled one upon another i'll the greatest
confusion.
Last Wednesday morning Mr.. Muir
ply returned from q hunting excur-
sion and passed around the house to
the back yard with his gun on his
shoulder. His attention was at once
attracted by low, monotonous,
grooming noise, so peculiar that he
paused and looked around for the
| cause of it. 1t was several minutes
before he discovered anything wrong.
At last he saw his little son, August,
two years old, sitting on the ground
at the further end OF the yard, par
TALLY concealed by a rosebush, and
became satisfied that he was making
the peculiar noise. He called him,
but the child did not answer. Hastily
stepping around to get a better view,
the father stopped, too Mortified TO
move, for there, coiled in the child s
lap, was a huge rattlesnake, with its
uplifted head on a level with the
child's face, waving softly back and
forth before his eyes. The poor baby
was completely IN its power. he
made no attempt to move, but sat
there with his hands behind him, look
ing straight into the cleaning eyes in
front OF him, and keeping up that low
dull grooming. The father knew that
J if he made the slightest motion toward
him the snake would spring. HestooC
for a few moments as completely fas
cinated as the child. He says that his
: heart stopped beating, and that h'
felt his blood slowly freezing while h'
waited to see the snake strike at hi
baby's face. How long this went oi
he does not know, but he was finall,
reused by the cry of mocking birt
which had discovered the snake. Thel
he took his last chance and raised tn
v gun to his shoulder. II he missed h
II only FASTENED his child's death. III
J.. steadied his nerves as best he coul,
+. and fired. The snake sprung ful

Il and twisting, but headless. The child

IT ran screaming to his father, and tn
II father, completely unnerved, sat dow
IS on the ground and cried, with the bab

The Business Outlook.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S circular, dated
Sept. 5th, contains the following in
relation to the state of trade through
out the country:
The monetary situation is also decidedly
clearer and more favorable. Imports of
81 500, 600 gold have been ordered, through
inducements offered by one OF the banks
possibly with shrewd regard for the inter
ests OF consumers in the stock market
Foreign needs appear less urgent, and the
danger OF successful resistance to American
demands for gold is diminished. The re-
moval OF the German prohibition Of Ameri-
can pork imports promises a largely in
creased demand for important products,
and a considerable addition to merchan-
disc exports for the year. Exports from
New York in five weeks exceed last years
nearly 81 per cent, and while imports also
Increased largely, the balance of trade turns
decidedly in favor OF the United States
The injury to cotton may also hasten eN-
ports OF that product, which foreign opera
tors, knowing the large stocks in Europe,
might not have bought early had the Amer
can crop been full. Finally, the treasury is
cent bonds not extended, and the announce
ment by the secretary that it is able to
pay S25, 900, 600 ca sh for these bonds, il
| desired, gives assurance OF liberal supplies
| of money.
The reports from other cities express in
| creased confidence. and show some actual
gain in the volume Of trade. Steady i'm
provement is seen at Boston, with large
sales OF wool, more demand for dry goods,
Improvement in leather, and larger orders
for boots and shoes. At Hartford hard
| ware is gaining, and groceries little, though
collections are slow. At Philadelphia i'm
provement is seen in iron and coal, steady
buying of wool by manufacturers, espee-
tally OF worsteds, and fair trade in tobacco
and chemicals, though collections are gem
orally dull. Manufacture is active at Bal
timore and iobbing trade healthy. Cloth
lug and dry goods are especially active and
collections fair at Cincinnati. At Chicago
wheat receipts are four times last years.
rye nine times. and dressed beef
double, and oats show increase, while some
decrease is noted in -four. about one-half in
barley and cured meats and a quarter in
, lard. Sales OF dry goods exceed last years,
which were phenomenally large, and in
clothing and shoes the trade is immense.
, At ST. Louis the distribution exceeds last
: years, and orders are free. At Kansas
2 City trade is fairly healthy. At Minneapo-
2 lis the iobbing trade is very good, wheat re-
, ceipts being double last years, and lumber
! advanced 81 per thousand by the associa-
!, ton. and at St. Paul trade steadily in
creases with assurance OF unprecedented
. crops. At Milwaukee business gains
e though unusually slow collections pinch
q some OF the iobbers. Att southern points
Y higher cotton stimulates trade, and eollec
tions are somewhat better. and at New Or
c leans there is fair demand for sugar. A
most southern points money is also easier
!. and at New Orleans in ample supply To-
% legitimate needs. At the west no com
d plants of stringency are noted, thougl
money is firmer at Chicago.
