THE POWER OF AMERICA.
Enormous Energy and Wealth of the
Great RepubIfc

New York. May 9.-The English statisti-
clan. Michael q. MulhaIl publishes in the
June number of the North American Re
view, just issued, an article on "Tbe
Power and Wealth of the United States >
Mr.. Mulhah's conclusion is that "if we
take survey of mankind in ancient or
modern times as regards the physical me-
chanical and intellectual forces OF ma
uons. we find nothing 10 conpare with
the United States in this present wear OF
1885, and that the United States possesses
by far the greatest productive power in
the world. He asserts that the absolute
effective force of the American Deonle is
now more than three times what IL was in
lSs0. and that the United States possesses
almost as much energy as Great Britain
Germany and France collectively. and the
ratio falling TO each American is more
than what two Englishmen or Germans
have at their disposal"
He points out by careful comparison
between the conditions in these different
countries that an ordinary farmland in
the United States raises a s much grain as
three in England, four in France. FIVE in
Germany or six in Austria One man IN
America can produce as much -four as will
feed 30. whereas in Europe one man feeds
only thirty persons.
Mr. Nulhan calls especial attention TO

The writer sets forth in regard to the
growth ~ the wealth of the United States
that the average annual Increment from
1871 70 Is91 was 9Gi milliards ~ dollars
which sum is one miIliard over the total
wealth of Great Britain. In CLASSIFYING
the whole wealth OF the Union under the
heads % urban and rural. he finds that
rural agricultural wealth has oniv auad-
rUplsd in forty years. while urban wealth
has multiplied sixteen fold In an i'm

the rise in wealth and the increase Of
wages came almost hand in hand"
In dealing with the development Of

lowing statement: If the United Stafes

London, May G.-At a meeting of the
leading city bankers and merchants held
at the banking house OF Glynn, Mills.

Gold Standard pssfense Association and
Mr.. Bertram Currfe, the chairman of the
meeting. was elected president of the new
association. The following address was
then forwarded 10 the chancellor of the
exchequer, Sir William Harcourt:
I'VE, the merchants and bankers OF
the city. desire to address you with ref
erence 10 the discussion which has taken
place in parliament on the question Of the
currency. We are constrained to state
that we view with grave apprehension
any change in the system OF the cur
rency which has prevailed without inter
ruption in this country since 1916 We
believe any serious attempt TO modify il
by the adoption of silver as a standard
of value, either alone or concurrently
with gold. viii be followed by conse-
quences dangerous to the trade and com
merce of the country and further If il
were possible that such measure should
not only become law but be made effec-
tive in practice, or should become law
without growing effective in practice. it
would disturb contracts, injure credit
check enterprise, and thus prove disas-
trous to both capitalists and wage earn
ers."
The signatures to the above address in
clude the names of Brown. Shipley &
Co. Freuhling a. Goschen, Morton. Rose
Co. Rallie Bros. Charles Raphael &
Co, Barclay, Bevan & Triton, Benson

ster Bank of England. the Union Bank
of London. the Lloyd bank. PARIS Bank
ing Company. the Alliance bank Martins
bank. the Union Discount Company and
the Bank of New South Wales
The chancellor of the exchequer sent
the following reply to the address:
II concur entirely in the opinion that
the experience of we'll nigh century has
proved that the present system of cur
rency is suited TO the wants of this great
commercial country. and that to depart
therefrom would be disastrous to the
trade and credit sf the United Kingdom.
You may rely upon it that her maiesty's
government will not give countenance to
any change in the fundamental princi-
pies OF our monetary system, nor in any
discussion in which they may he called to
take part will they admit any doubt of
their intention to firmly adhere to the
single gold standard"

What is the world, my little one9
Our world belongs to that clock, the sun.
Steady 1t spins while the clock beats true
Days and seasons Tor me and you
And tick, tick, took, goes the mighty clock,
While time swings on below,
Now left, now right, now day, now night,
With tick, took to and fro
The pussy willow in coat of fur,
A sweet pink rose in the wind astir,
A maple leaf with a crimson blush,
Then falling snownakes and winters hush,
While tick, tick, took, goes the mighty clock,
And the world swings on below,
Budding, blowing shining, showing,
With a tick, took to and fro.
A little song when the heart is glad,
little sigh when the way is sad,
Whether the shadows or sunbeams fall,
Sweet rest and dreaming at last for all,
While tick, tick, took goes the mighty clock,
And the world swings on below,
Smiling, signing, singing, crying,
With tick, took to aud fro.
so is the way, my own little one,
Our world belongs to that clock, the SUM-
And the hand that somewhere keeps the key,
Is the same that holdeth you and me-
While tick, tick, took goes the mighty clock,
And the world swings on below,
Now left, now right, now day, now night,
With tick, took to and fro.
