THE purchase of silver at the rate of
$500, 900 ounces per month since August
Ii, have resulted in a total output by
treasury of s28,SO4, OO0 of new United
States Treasury notes authorized by the
act of July IA, 1890. OF this amount
there were in the treasury 'on Jan. 81
$500, 294, thus leaving S25, l01, 706 out
standing and being that much increase
oof the circulating medium. In the
same time the amount of gold certif-
Gates in circulation, exclusive of those
held in treasury, has increased 81, 49,
go to total of s155,S39,449. This in
crease of nearly s59,0OO,OO0 of clrculat-
ing paper money in a little over five
months may naturally be expected to
have an influence on prices generally,
but especially upon rates of interest,
and consequently on the prices of in
terest and dividend paying securities.

IT is interesting to to follow the ad-
vocates of a tariff for revenue only" in
their inconsistent wanderlngs after crit
icism of the existing law. Just now
they are greatly exercised over the fact
that some advance was made on certain
grades of tobacco, and hasten to array
in opposition every consumer who is
likely to be effected thereby.
Now, criticism of the tobacco tariff by
the heralds of revenue only system IN
yites attention 10 the treatment OF the
subject under the British revenue law,
which is so nearly suited to the notions
of reform" workers in this country.
Great Britain levies tariff on tobacco
ranging from 81 cents per pound on the
natural leaf to s1.32 per pound for the
manufactured article, and collects ia the
neighborhood of s5O,OO0,OO0 in some
years-or about half the revenue that
comes from her tariff.
But inasmuch as tobacco is a crop
that can be grown on q variety of soils,
and under conditions known to prevail
An many portions of the kingdom-and
formerly was gwen to some extent IN
ireland-this heavy tariff of five hun
dred to one thousand per cent. laid
against importations would naturally
serve as a stimulant to home production.
40 other words, this would be pro-
tectiye tariff-for no crops now raised
by British farmers are nearly SO profta-
bic as tobacco would be under the ex-
isting law. And at this point a most
interesting aspect of the revenue only"
policy is brought into view. By law
the raising of tobacco is prohibited
throughout the United Kingdom under
penalties attaching to felony, to the end
that every pound used shall first pay
revenue at some port of entry. From
the standpoint of Performers" this show
ing operates still further to the disad-
yantages Of their policy, in view of the
fact that least half of the British con-
EumpIlOu VI OODdCCO 10 6Opp1lOO hOul
the United States-mostly in the natur-
al state, as the difference Of oyer thirty
cents per pound between the raw and
manufactured article is a practical ex-
cIusion of the latter, and by so much a
protection for the British manufacturer
of plugs and cigars.
1t is in behalf of the trainers of such
laws as this that attorneys for reform"
in our tariff system are moving up and
down the land and urging voters to be-
lieve that they are opposed by "tariff
taxes" that force these British gentle
men to pay for the privileges Of sending
their wares into cur markets-while in
no single instance ig such tariff one
fourth as high as that levied by British
law on Americap-grown tobacco.

A NEW furnace for the smelling of
silicious ores has lately been perfected
at Wilbor, Neb,, under the supervision
of Professor Zahn, who believes that it
will supercede all other furnaces or roas-
ters now in use for that purpose. The
extractions of precious metals from ores
which have heretofore proved too refrac-
tory to be worked with profit is attract
ing the attention of our scientific miners
and there will be no cessation in inn
provements until the ores of our noun
tains surrender all their wealth.

The Denver Republican says: The
food in Arizona, which destroyed a
large amount of property, is doubtless
looked upon as a gread disaster by the
people of Phenlx and that vicinity. 1t
ought to call their attention to the fact
that by building storage reservoirs,
floods of that sort could be avoided and
at the same time a large area of land,
which is now barren, could be reclaimed
and made fertile. There is probably no
part of the aried region in which the
storage reservoir system could be
adopted with more profit and greater
success than in Arizona. There are two
rainy seasons in that territory. One
comes in the summer and the other in
the winter. Although the total
amount of the annual rainfall
is small, the percipitations dur
ing these two rainy seasons is sometimes
very great. But large proportion of
the water escapes IN foods and does
the country very little good. A great
deal of this storm water could be i'm
pounded and kept in reservoirs until
there would be occasion to use it in irri-
Cation. Some day millions of acres of
now barren land in Arizona will be re-
claimed In this way.

GIBSON INDICTED.

The Ex-Secretary of the Whisky Trust In
dicted for Conspiracy to Blow Up the
Shufcldt DistllIery-Bail Fixed at as5,-
900.
CHICAGO, Feb. lS.-Thc grand jury
yesterday returned an Indictment
against George j. Gibson, ex-secretary
of the whisky trust The indictment
contains six counts. The first charges
Gibson with conspiring with others. mn
known, to murder the proprietors of the
Shufeldt distillery with dynamite. The
second count charges the conspiracy to
have been to kill with gunpowder. The
third count charges him with having in
his possession explosives for an unlaw-
full purpose. The fourth count charges
a conspiracy with an unknown to COM
init murder with explosives. The fifth
and sixth counts were for conspiring to
do an unlawful act by means o. explo-
sives.
A capias was issued directed to the
sheriff of Peoria County directing him
to take the body of George j. Gibson
''if he shall be found in your county"
The capias will be taken down to Peoria
by deputy sheriff, accompanied by one
of the United States revenue officers
who has seen Gibson and knows him.,
The bail was fixed by Judge Shep 'rd at
S25.000, on the suggestion of the States
attorney.
Mr.. BURY, one of counsel for Gibson,
assured the State authorities that his
client would appear in court to-day and
furnish the required bond. President
Greenhut said that he had received u
telegram from Gibson in which the lat
ter said he would come here from Peoria
and surrender himself. Mr.. Greenhut
added: "Of course we will have bonds
men ready for him." A rumor was cir
culated last night that Gibson had ar
rived from Peoria on late train, but it
could not be verified

GIBSON MISSING.

Said That the Whisky Trusts Secretary
Has Gone to Europe-Startling Develop
Ments in the Conspiracy to Blow Up the
shufeldt Distillery Mt Chicago.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Feb 16.--It is the general
belief here that George j. Gibson. sec
retary of the whisky trust, is we'll on
his way to Europe, and, aided by plenty
of money, will escape. The only trust
man found who would talk says Gibson
has been gone since Thursday night,
and would not return, adding that the
bail bond of so, 600 was bagatelle, and
considered very cheap. 1t was thought
best TO get away before any further
charges were made and the bonds in
creased by action of the State authori-
ties.
Saturday brought startling revela-
tions in the conspiracy to blow up the
Shufeldt distillery in Chicago. 1t is now
known that Gibson bought fifty pounds
of dynamite from A. H. Barnewalt some
time ago. and the druggist from whom
the arch-plotter obtained the ingredi-
ents of the deadly fluid found in his
satchel in Chicago has been discovered.
Gibson bought the different constituents
separately and mixed them himself
The stuff was made OF six parts of BIZ
sulphate of carbon and ninety-four
parts of phosphorus. He purchased
these chemicals three weeks ago.
Detectives are here looking up the
data in regard to the conspiracy and it
is probable they will also endeavor to
find out which way Mr.. Gibson has gone
and who were backing him in his at
tempt to destroy the Shufeldt distillery.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-The present grand
jury will be called upon this week to in
vestigate the evidence against Secretary
Gibson. This course was determined
upon after several consultations be-
| tween United States Attorney Milchrist
and Judge Longeneclker. The greatest
secrecy is maintained in regard to this
move.

Pit or Fire Bosses Who Are Entrusted
With Responsible Duties.

by tho Coroner's Jury in tho Mammoth
Mine Disaster Against Use of Liquor by
Pit or Fire Bosses Who Are Entrusted
With Responsible Duties.
GREENsBURGH, Pa, Feb. 10. The
Jury in the Mammoth mine explosion
case Saturday afternoon returned the
following verdict: ut is our opinion
that the Mammoth mine explosion, oc-
curing January 27, 1891, was caused by
carbonated hydrogen gas accumulated
in the lower bed or dip of the Mann
IN 9TH mine. No evidence exists to show
tho condition of the mine at that time,
or that any gas had existed In the mine
at any time to any considerable amount
prior to the explosion.
''We find all machinery about said
mine in good condition and working
order. While we find the ii. G Frick
Coke Company has not been guilty of
eny neglect in providing comfort and
care for their underground employees
and miners, we do protest against the
employment in any mine of fire bosses
and pit bosses who are addicted to the
use of liquor.
Eve also believe that there should be
an amendment to the mining laws of
the State against the working of any
mine under water level with any flame
or open light, but to compel the Light
ing of the same by electricity or safety
lamps. We also recommend that no per-
son be permitted TO enter any mine now
operated in this State or hereafter
opened up, except those whose names
or numbers shall be kept in a, book Of
registry at the entry of the mines"
