than $7, 100000 in its favor.

than 81, 100000 in its favor,
The main point is that the treasury
in June, 1893, had less gold than the
"reserve" demanded. Again, in May,
1894, was the reserve below the mark,
and in July it could show $54,00O,O0O
only, or nearly SO per cent below the
proper sum. Made good in November
by bond sale, it was at 44,7000O0
in the following January. The pro-
ceeds of the sale had passed out of
the treasury as rapidly as they had
been obtained. This gold purchased
by the bonds was obtained from the
bankers, and to that extent disturbed
the existing distribution Of gold. The
banks in turn sought to replenish their
stock in part from the treasury and in
part from the stock in private hands
This still further affected the distri-
button, and it is this disturbance which
l wish to examine.
The question Of how much gold is
in the United States at stated time
is hot readily answered. The director
Of the mint each year prepares an es-
innate of the production of gold in
the United States, and from the mint
returns he is able to say how much Of
it actually became coin, and how much
of this coin passed into circulation.
In the calender year 1893, there was
1,739, 1913 ounces Of gold produced in
the United States, having a value Of
35,955,000. The coinage of gold at
all the mints for the same time was
59,997, 020, showing that q, 100000 of
foreign gold or the product of other
years had been deposited for coinage.
Account must thus be taken of the
imports and exports of gold as In
creasing or decreasing the stock in
the country, and a number of other
factors need to be considered before
the extent of this stock can be es-
timated, but it will be enough here to
accept the general results of this
estimate.
In July, 1893, the amount of gold
coin and bullion in the treasury WAS
$18S, 455, 433; the coin in circulation
was $403,633, 100 One year later the
treasury had lost more than $57,000,-
600 of its holdings, retaining $131,-
2l7,434 and the gold in circulation
had risen to $497, $4,000, an increase
Of 1914, 100000. Upon this comparison
it would appear as if every dollar lost
by the treasury had gone into circu-
lation, and what had been passive as
reserve" was now become active as
circulation.
Thisis only an apparent situation,
as the sensitive condition of the
money market clearly approved. A mere
transfer from the treasury to circula.
ton would not have given rise to
anxiety; it was because the gold did
not circulate, but WAS exported or
boarded that the crises was so feared.

MRS. LEASE AGAIN WINS.

The "redeemers" thought they had got nd
of Mrs. Lease as a member of the state board of
charities, but she insisted that the term for
which she was appointed would not expire until
1906, and she refused to go. She employed
counsel to test her rights III the courts, which
caused Gov Morrill, to do little investigating,
and he found that it was Senator Householder's
term which had EXPIRED and that Mrs. Leases
term does not expire until 1896. We are truly
GLAD that Mrs. Lease has so easily won her case.
If all ministers were TO follow strictly in the
footsteps of Him whose ambassadors they pro-
fess to be, and call things by their right names,
eschewing all euphonious, sweetly-sounding
names which tickle the ears of the kid-gloved
usurer and all classes of robbers, though they
might lose their pulpits, as has Reverend
Myron Reed, of Denver, and few others,
they would not need to ask why the poor keep
away from the churches-they would have no
occasion to ask, for the common people would
hear them gladly The pressing concern OF
millions, just now, is how to procuae those
things which bring happiness here. They
can't get mans attention when talking about
another world when he is suffering for the
things which make life worth living here
Call theft, THEFT, and point out who are the
thieves The thief may be-yea millions have
been stolen under cover of law, but it is none
the less theft. Don't call the poor outraged,
starved devils anarchists when they resort to
extreme measures to redress their grievances,
and give no heed to the real criminals. Un-
cover the whited sepulchers Bring them to the
light of day and show them up in all their
hideousness. Say unto them, Ye are the men.
Paul did not temporize with the pimps, thieves,
libertines and usurers of the centuries gone.
Christ did not leave the temple to be dehled by
the inoney-changers. They sought to slay Him,
but He did His duty. He commissioned His
ambassadors to do likewise. Some are obeying
the Injunction. He has a Parkhurst, Dixon,
Sumner, Reed and others who are nobly ac-
quitting themselves. When the land becomes
overrun with such, the faith of the common
people in churches will not need inquiring after.

Surely that influence must be overthrown in
the Republican party or else you and have no
further business in it. We cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that our present condition is
made possible by Republican legislation, con-
ceived in the womb of iniquity and born through
legislative Iascality, and the masses blinded to
such venality and medacity until they are in as
deplorable condition as the paupers of Europe.
It won't do to say that the tariff had anything
to do with it, because that is not fact. A
committee recently reported that it would take
Eve million dollars to feed the Idle and poor in
England until the first of April, and the COM
mittee appointed by Governor Mckinley of this
state to investigate the condition of the idle and
poor in the Hooking valley reports that the
men have not received OIL an average for the
past year, for their wages, twenty-seven cents a
day. The former conditions are possible under
a free trade flag the latter conditions are pos
sible under a high protection banner. The
question of a tariff or no tariff had nothing to
do with the causes that made such results pos
sible; it was the appreciation of dollars, or,
what is the same thing, the depreciation Of

AT THE CLOSE OF THE WAR.

From "a Hist CRY Of the Last Quarter-Cen
fury in the United States,'' by r. Benz.
Andrews, in Scribner.
The war left the south in indie
scribable desolation. Great number
of confederates came home to find
their farms sold for unpaid taxes,
perhaps mortgaged to ex- slaves.
The best southern land, after the
war, was worth but a trifle Of its old
value. Even city real estate was a
drug. Many their ruin rendered
insane; but in multitudes more it
broke down all energy. The Drawer
spirits-men to whom till now all
toll had been stIange--set to work
as clerks, depot masters, and agents
of various business enterprises, high
born ladies', widowed by northern
bullets, became teachers or govern
esses. In the comparatively few
cases where families retained their
estates, their efforts to keep up ap-
pearances was pathetic. One by one
domestics were dismissed; dinner
parties grew rare; stately coaches
lost their paint and became rickety
carriage and saddle horses were
worn out at the plough and replaced
by mules. AT last the master learned
to open his own gates, the mistress
to do her own cooking.

TO STEAM.

Joseph wetzler in the scribner.
Comparing the electric with the
steam locomotive as mechanisms
pure and simple there is a wide
difference between them as regards
simplicity. On the one hand we
have an aggregation consisting of
boilers, pumps, cylinders, valves,
piston and connecting rods, with
reciprocating motions, while on the
other hand, the electric locomotive
has but a single moving part, the
armature having a rotary motion.
1t follows that the cost of repairs
for a simple mechanism like the
electric locomotive would be tar
below that Of the steam locomotive,
in proof of which we need only
cite the statement of Mr.. Alexander
Siemens, president of the English
Institution Of Electrical Engineers,
that the electric locomotives oper-
ating in the London Underground
Railroad ran 10000 miles without
costing a cent for repairs.

DR.. Watson was by no means re-
assuring. 1t was his intention to
brighten all Elvira's friends, SO that
he might ensure strict attention to
his orders.
Nor was he quite sure that she
would get quite well, or ever again
be the bright sprightly Elvira she
had been of yore.
The little doctor thoroughly sue

anxious and uncomfortable, but this
he did not in the least mind, but

So when Sir Miles was in the depths
of despair about Elvira's desperate
condition he had found a partisan of
whom he little dreamt.
But a good many complications
and anxieties and worries would have
to be overcome before DR.. Watson
would be in a position to help him,
even if that suspicious moment ever
arrived.

Umbrellas Oh the Battle Field.

One of the funniest things in the
eyes of the foreigners during the war
has been tbe fact that the Chinese
generals carried umbrellas and fans
when they went into battle. This is
also matter of law. Each officer has
his own rank, and this is indicated by
the number of umbrellas and banners
which are carried in front of him when
he goes out to ride. Even the smallest
mandarins whom ! saw gong through
u Chinese city, unites Frank G. Car
penter, had one or more dirty red UNI
brellas carried on high pole in front
of them, while Falstaff's army of
servants carried red banners upon
which were the Chinese characters in
dicating their titles. An officer of the
rank has the right to two fans, and
every great man as he goes through
the country has men in front of him
who beat gongs to warn the common
people to get ont of the way. These
umbrellas and banners are always in
red. The fans are of the same color,
and officials have carried fans in China
from the remotest antiquity.
The Chinese have n way Of ennobling
men after they are dead. When man
does something great he not only gets
honors himself, but his dead grand
father may be made marquis or a
count. Memorial arches are often
erected on account of good conduct
and for deeds which have caused the
death of the docr. Widows VIII have
committed suicide out OF grief for their
husbands have sometimes such arches
erected for them, and young girls who
have cut pieces of their own flesh out
of their bodies in order to cook them and
give them as medicine to their dying
friends have been so honored. -Chi-
