THE WORLDS GOLD.
The Bullion Deposits of Europe-England
Stands the Lowest on the List.

brakes Magazine.
The Bank of ENGLAND. which is the great
depository of bullion in the realm, holds at
ordinary times in its vaults 1925, 100000.
The Bank of Germany holds 500, 600 900
of bullion in gold and silver.
The Bank of France usually holds $780,
0O0 600.
The United States holds in the treasury
and in the various national banks some
where about 800, GEO 600 in gold and silver.
The increasing wealth of the various ma
tions is somewhat remarkable. During the
last ten years the Bank of France has more
than doubled it reserves. The Bank OF
Germany in 1881 held about STAG, 900, 900; in
1889 it held S0,000,O00.
In June, 1863. the amount Of gold coin and
bullion in the United States treasury was
only So, 900, 900; in 1889 it had risen to over
S3O0,000 In the various national banks it
stood at g, 600 900; it has risen to $50. 000,-
600. In silver there is a still more remark
able increase.
1t will be observed that among the above,
England stands the lowest on the list. This
can be accounted for in two ways. There
being no issue of notes under the value of
S225, it necessitates an immense quantity of
gold being kept in circulation. Secondly,
the commerce of Great Britain with other
countries being so enormous, and its lend
ing powers so great, perpetual drain is the
inevitable result. Russia, Italy and Spain
have little or no financial influence They
are constant borrowers from more wealthy
nations, but lenders, never.

A SNAKE FROM HIS STOMACH.
A Wisconsin Railroad Man Gets Rid OF an
Undesirable Tenant.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. liver since he
left the army at the close of the war Charlie
White, the veteran st. Paul railway con-
ductor, has suffered from a stomach rou-
bic. Each year it became more Aggravated
until during the last two years he has sub
sisted entirely on liquid food, any attempt
to take solids into his stomach being fol-
lowed by violent vomiting. Some months
ago Mr. White consulted some CHICAGO sur
geons and they advised him to submit 10 q
severe and very delicate surgical operation
as being the only possible chance for him.
This morning short time before he was TO
take his train from Watertown to Mlwau-
kee, Mr.. White was seized with a severe
attack of coughing and vomiting, accom-
panied by violent cramps in his stomach.
Finally, after an unusually severe paroXysm
of vomiting, he elected snake about fifteen
inches long. 1t was instantly killed. As
soon as the stomach was relieved of its ten
ant Mr.. White felt better and was able to
come to Milwaukee, bringing with him the
reptile, which ne submitted to DR.. Mackie,
his Milwaukee physician. Conductor White
said he felt much better and had already
partaken of a hearty meal of solid food for
the first time in several years. He thinks
that he swallowed the snake when it was
very small while drinking water At one of
the Southern creeks during the war.

How many workingmen are idle in
Fort Worth because Of the alien land
law? THE GAZETTE knows of several
building enterprises that were killed
because of this law, which prevented
the borrowing of foreign money to build
with. The building trades OF all kinds
are affected by the cutting off OF the
expected supply of cheap money, and
carpenters, masons, painters and all
laborers who are connected with the
building business are the sufferers. The
craftsmanship OF Mr.. Gossett is as far
reaching as the Asiatic cholera.

f,-.oHIo E.Aaas AND rue TARIFF.

I-SOfilG ESittMS AND THE TARIFF.
@Eernor Campbell makes a point
against Republican policy that Mr. Nc
Kflley will find it hard to explain to
thu satisfaction of Buckeye farmers. It
is tfss-~-tccording to the census of
1880, the farms of Ohio were valued at
1925, 0G0, 900. In the census of 1890 they
are set down at s621, 900, 900, showing a
decrease for the decade of sos. 600, 900.
There was total increase OF wealth
in the state for that period of S243, 000,-
600. But not one dollar of it went into
the pockets OF the farmers. Perhaps
they would hot complain SO much if
they had held their own, but that they
failed to do, falling behind a round
100000, 900. That is pretty strong
Indictment of protection that ought to
remove the kindling wood from the
eyes of those Ohio farmers that have so
long stood loyal to the tariff. It is an
argument that appeals to the most sus-
ceptible part OF any mans makeup,
to-wit, his purse. 1t is an argument
from whose premises the conclusion is
inevitable that the farmers are the
maleficiaries of McKinleyism, and that
they have been made the dupes of
reckless and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
What is true of Ohio will be
found to be true of many, if
not all, of the other states. The tariff
is the most hateful and insidious form
of class legislation. 1t was never
meant to benefit the farmer. 1t could
not for many reasons, but chiefly be-
cause it was framed in the interest of q
different class whom it could benefit
only by taking from the agricultural
and other classes of consumers. Ac-
cording to the eternal verities, it must
rob the farmer to build up factories

Ten Acres or a Fine Farm Transformed
Into n Lalle-The Cause 2 Mystery.
Special to the Gazette.
ARCHIE. Mo, Get. 5-AbOut three miles
south of this town is the small farm of
Nancy Miller, a widow who has been max
ing living out of the forty-acre tract left
her by her husband. About two years ago
it was noticed that piece of land about
ten acres in extent was apparently sinking.
The depression was very gradual, but was
sufficient to be noticed and commented
upon. The piece III question was situated
Just east of the house and on It was the sta
bic and feed lot. Last Wednesday night
Mrs Miller and her children were aroused
by most fearful noise and shock followed
bv a terrible rumbling which caused them
to rush out of doors in their fright. 1t was
bright moonlight and they saw that some
awful catastrophe had happened, but 1t was
not until daylight that they were able to
tell Just what it was. When morning came
they saw that the whole ten acres which
had been sinking SO long had suddenly
dropped to depth of about seven feet and
in the hole lay the wreck of the stable,
while in the sunlen spot the two horses
and COW were wandering around unhurt.
The ground was perfectly dry. but soon
there appeared at one SIDE a small stream Of
water and by degrees the place filed up
and is now q lake ten acres in extent and
seven feet deep at all points. The ground
at the edge Of the lake has been crum bling
away ever since the accident and II is feared
that d good part of the rest Of the farm will
eventually go into the water. The sunken
portion of the farm was especially valuable
on account of containing the vegetable gar
den from which the family obtained most
of its supplies This was gone as well as a
Furnishing tract of corn which would have
welded not less than fifty bushels to the
acre. The cause of the sinking is Z mys-
terry, as there has been no mining in the
neighborhood, and it is supposed that a
large cavern has been under the place and
its roof has given away ana taken ia the
