thu Treasury statement just published

It will surprise many TO see that tho actual
circulation increased during the last fiscal year
notwithstanding the heavy exports Of gold. Tho
increase in the months July-DcCembor, inclusive,
1890, had been greater by S70,600,00 than
the decrease during the months January June
1891, although in the latter months the greater
part Of S75, 10000 gold went abroad. OBJ
viCusly the circulation was not correspondingy
diminished when gold was exported, first, be-
cause additional supplies OF gold came from the
mines every month, and second, because Treas
ury notes and ether kinds of currency were also
supplied in large amounts t. take the place Of
the gold exported But when these other causes
of increase are in full operation, and gold also
comes in rapidly from abroad, the circulation eX-
pands largely, almost 500, 100000 dining tho
last half Of 1899 and about SS9 900, 600 dur
ing the last half Of 1891
1t would be good thing for the country if
Democratic and Alliance members OF Congress
could be required to pass critical examination
in these official records regarding the currency,
and debarred from voting on the subject until
they could show decent knowledge Of the
facts. 1t is in the last half year that currency
is especially needed, because the movement of
the crops then calls for more than at any other
time. In the seven fiscal years prior to Mr..
Cleveland's Inauguration the increase of actual
circulation outside the Treasury during the last
half of these years averaged S63,27O,O 900 each
year. During the four years under Mr.. Cleve.
and it averaged only S4095O, 900, and in the
last haf Of 1885, his first year. showed de-
crease. But in three yeas under the present
Administration the actual increase of circulation
during the last half year has averaged S19,-
coo. 600 each year. 1t is not assumed that those
are right who insist upon nero increase Of cur
rency a the one thing neediul. But if they
have any light OH their side they ought TO know
that Republican Administrations have been able
to enlarge the circulation greatly without en-
dangcring its soundness, while Mr.. Cevelands
Administration began by contracting the cur
rency in a tit Of apprehension. which had 10 other

IRON CONSTITUTIONS OF JERE LITTLE

incidence that the price Of lead fell of several

the political kind, but the genuine, physical
variety, with wet bari, the logs and yoke

a good deal harder than ne lifted. One of the big
gcst LOGS rolled on Jcrc Ills cant-hook slipped and
the log went him like a rolling pin over
piece OF dough. All Of this told in the
first part Of the dispatch then follows the
biographical and statistical portion. Mr.. Little
was one of the leaders in the I.ttle-Strong feud
in Brcathitt County few years ago, and at the
time Of his death, continues the veracious tcle-
gram, "he had twenty-six bullets in different
parts OF his body
When We say we suspect that there was some
connection between Mr.. Lttle's death and the
slump in the lead market we believe that most
people will agree with us. And the ones who
will display not the least enthusiasm in agree
ing will be those veterans Of the late war who
have been going about with one bullet in their

n0mic study of the British West Indies will be
found in the brilliant letter from our staff coIc-
spondent in Barbados 1t discloscs the failure
of the English 70 govern that portion OF the
world for the interests Of those who live there.
The colonial system provides employment for an
official class recruited largely from ncphews and
cousins Of influential peisonagcS in social and
political life in England That is gain for
rlacehunters and mcdiocriy in general without
visible means Of support, but II is a loss TO the
impoverished population OF the island. who need
to be governed economically and intelligently.
The English coloniSs are loyal, and would not
complain Of the evils OF ncpotism and red tape
if they were able to make a good living and were
convinced that better times were in store for
their children. But during the last half century
of English Free Trade the islands have steadily
declined in prosperity, and the Mother Country
has done nothing for them beyond maintaining
a drastic system Of official incompetence.
So long as England offered market for
tho produce Of its West Indian colonies they
were satisfied with the general results of Free
Trade and inclined to ridicule the Protective
system of the United States. But now the con-
ditions are reversed. Free Trade England is
content to take beet-sugar from the Continent
and West Indian sugar has been displaced there
and in Europe. At the same time the United
states under its Protective system has become,
not only the largest market in the world, but
also the only one where cane sugar and tropical
fruit can be sold. The interests of the British
West Indies are centred in the American mar

The contest in the Ohio Legislature has been
