False Treasury Statements.

General A. y. warner was asked
by a press reporter: What have
you to say about the statement of
the volume of money in circulation
put out on the first of each month {?
l have simply to say that they
are official misstatementS of facts.
This may seem to be a broad aSser-
ton, but it is no more than those
who make up these statements well
know and would doubtless, private
ly admit. There is no such volume
of money in circulation in this
country as is contained in these
statements; nor is there any such
volume of money in the country at
all, and those who make up these
statements know this perfectly well.
For instance they give as the. vol
ume of greenbacks still in existence,
$346,6S1, 900. They do not admit
that there has been a single note
burned up, destroyed or lost in any
way during the war or since. The
same is true of national bank notes
and of other forms of paper cur
rency. They assume also that every
fractional piece ofsilver coined since
1858, $21, 100000 of which were
coined before the war, almost every
piece of which left the country
during the war, has all come back
and is now in circulation But
worse that this is the reported stock
of gold in the country. According
to the treasury statement for Jan
uary last, there was 1866, 900, 900
of gold, coin and bullion, in the
country, of which 1886, 900, 900 was
in the banks and in the hands of
the people. But the gold holdings
of the banks altogether, according
to the last full bank report up to
that! date, was only $l75,000,00
leaving as in actual circulation, in
the pockets of the people, in the
tills of merchants, etc., $411, ,00O,
600 in gold, or So per capita in gold
actually in the hand of the people !!
Now the treasury officials do not
claim to have any evidence what
ever of the existence of any such
stock of gold coin in circulation nor
of half of it, and yet they put this
statement out without any eXplana-
tion as if it were the truth. All in
the world they have to show for it
is an estimate made years ago by
director of the mint, Burchard,
which was merely guess to begin
with, and to this they have added
imports and production, and de-
Quoted exports without attempting
to give the amount of gold that has
gone into the melting pot, or that
has been carried out of the country
by Americans travelling abroad or
by Chinese laborers returning home.
Hence, the black faced figures in
these reports, claiming to show
monthly the true per capita circu-
lation, to say the least, are culpably
deceptive.
Secretary Foster, a few years ago,
put out statement Of the volume
of circulation at the close of the
war, which contradicted the state
ment of every Secretary made
during the war, or within ten years
subsequent to the close of the war,
and yet this official misinformation
is still repeated from time to time
by the present Secretary. This
sort of information given to the
public as true and reliable has been
tolerated about as long as it ought
to be.-FrOm The National Watch

Useful Recipes.

AAiCiNoiNL ~ y l. w llIJC
of six eggs beaten stiff, one pound
powdered sugar, two tablespoonfuls
of flour and one pound of hickory
nut kernels. Drop on well buttered
tins and bake in a moderate oven.
CHEESE BIsCUIT.-Have a little
puff or short paste ready, and
sprinkle over it little cayenne,
and as much grated Parmesan
cheese as the dough will take;
double up the paste, roll it out
rather thin, and cut it with a
round paste cutter, glaze with an
egg, arrange on houred tin, and
bake in a sharp oven until of a
light yellow color.
SPANISH SANDWICH.-A Spanish
sandwich is made with two slices of
rye bread, cut very thin. Take
one and spread first with made
mustard, then with cottage cheese,
butter the other slice, and when the
two are laid together the sandwich
is evolved. Olives, stoned and
spread lightly with mayonnaise,
make good filling for another
sandwich, which is acceptably offer
ed at luncheon or tea.
BAKED APPLE PUDDING. Five
moderate sized apples, two table
spoonfuls of finely chopped suet,
three eggs, three tablespoonfuls of
flour, one pint of milk, a little
grated nutmeg. Mix the flour to
a smooth batter with the milk; add
the eggs, which should be well
whisked and put the latter into a
well buttered pie dish. Wipe the
apples clean, but do not pare them;
cut them in halves, and take out
the cores; lay them in the batter,
rind uppermost; shake the suet on
the top, over which also CRATE a
little nutmeg; bake in a moderate
oven for an hour, and cover, when
served with sifted loaf sugar. This
pudding is also very good with the
apples pared, sliced and mixed with
the batter.
CREAMED POTAToEs.-Creamed
potatoes, sprinkled with cracker
dust and little grated cheese and
Drowned in the oven, are delicious.
The potatoes should be cold boiled
or baked, and cut into little dice of
an even size. For a quart of
potatoes you will need pint of
cream sauce. To prepare that,
blend a tablespoonful of butter and
an equal quantity of flour in a
saucepan, add a pint of milk, a
level teaspoonful of salt, dash of
white pepper, and, if you like the
flavor, a very little grated nutmeg.
Toss the potatoes in this sauce, and
when hot put in a buttered baking
dish and brown. If cooked too
long in the oven, the potatoes will
be dry. Without browning they
may be served as creamed potatoes
and for variety a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley, or little onion
juice may sometimes be added. In
that case omit the nutmeg.

GOLD IN TAOS COUNTY.
Some Interesting Results From . New
MIL.


Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct. 1S.-A letter
from Mr.. A. w. Tenant, manager of
the Lucas Placer Mining company in
Taos county, gives some interesting fig
ures as to the result obtained at that
place by the new gold mill. The letter
says the first 100 tons run through av-
eraged $2.25 per yard. A test run of
200 tons QS9 yards) Is now being made
which is expected to yield Mt least So
Or $3.50 per ton.
Mr.. Tenant says that another Hun
tington mill will be put up under the
same roof Immediately and that anoth-
er plant with four Huntingtons will be
put up and running by February 1st.
Mr.. Tenant writes that In his opinion
the place where he is operating will in
time be the greatest gold producing dis
trict the United States has ever known.
Many nonresident citizens are inter
ested In placer claims along the upper
Rio Grande, Hondo, Taos and Red -iv-
ers, where the gold deposits are identi-
cal with those owned by the Lucas
company and the announcement that
the new mill has succeeded In extract
ing such n remarkable large percentage
of the precious stuff from these gravel
beds will have the effect Of attracting
renewed attention to that extensive
gold producing region.

tected from a friendship that throws
them out of work and cuts of thei,
pay. The railroad men are also af-
fected by this proposition since scare
ity of ore hauling means fewer trains
and fewer trains means less number
of crews at work. 1t may also mean
a reduction of wages to those who re-
main employed. If so universal a de-
preston exists as would be caused by n
general closing of the mines, Goes any
one imagine the railroads, especially
the Rio Grande, Midland and Guif
roads which reach all the mining sec
tions of the state, can pay their pres
ent scale Of wages?
A vote for Waite this year means Il
direct negative to this conclusion. y
miner or railroad man who has n
good job will think twice before voting
to cut his own throat and supporting

Governor Mckinley, in a recent
speech at Cincinnati, gave the follow
ing incident:
1.-THE other day when I was speaking
in Northern Ohio an old merchant
brought his books to my hotel. He hal
been a merchant from '4S to 81. !
wish everybody to see these old books.
They tell the truth. They tell the cost
of living then; they tell the prices Of
labor then, and copied from that Oil
book-one of them-an entry dated
June 80, 1858, and it was an account
between the merchant Of the village
and the carpenter of the village.
"The carpenter was working for lh"
merchant and on June 80, 1858, the
merchant credited him on his day book
with one days work at S1.50 day, and
on the same day the carpenter bought
the following four items, which are
charged on the merchants book, with
the price at that time, and these were
the items: Nine yards Of calico at 12la
cents a yard, S1.13; nine yards Of lawn
at 121a cents, $1.13; eight pounds of cof-
fee sugar at 121a cents pound, 81; and
- pounds of cut nails at Z cents a
pounds, "a cents. The total Of these
four items in 1853 was $4.1O. The
wages received by the carpenter was
S1.5O a day. He gave to the merchant
his one days work, bought these four
items and owed the merchant $3.50 in
cash.
"Now let's take the carpenter of 1892.
The pay of the carpenter in 1892 was
from $3.50 to $2.75 day in Ohio. !
take the lowest, $3.50. Now charge him
with the same four items that We're
charged the carpenter In '58, with the
price prevailing last year, and let US
see the state of the account: One days

in '92 Is S2.01. The carpenter in 1892
gave his one days work to the mer-
chant, bought these items, paid for
them, and out Of that days work had
40 cents in cash in his pocketbook.
