Money Circulation Increases a Hum
drcd Million in a Year.

Mr.. Bryan and his free silver colaborers
would like to blot out the newspaper rec
ords Of their speeches a year ago. 1t was
just this time in the campaign Of 1896
that they were asserting that the country
was suffering from a lack of currency. and
could only be supplied by the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. The people
of the country did not agree with them,
and free and unlimited coinage has not
been put into operation. Yet the October
statement Of the Treasury Department
shows that the money in circulation to-
day is, in round numbers, S1O,OOO.00 0 in
excess Of that n yea go. Curiously.
more than one~ha!f of this increase is in
gold. The following table, issued by the
Treasury Department IN Oct. |. shows
the money in circulation Oct. 1, 1897, COM
pared with Oct. I, 1896:

various sections Vie with One Another in
Proclaiming the Return of
Good Times.

HE record of mercantile and
manufacturing activity continues
to verify the predictions of those
trade optinlists who have been contend
ing all along that the upward move
ment Is not spasmodic Or speculative
but actually rests on a basis of growing
demand which Is destined to be perma-
nent. 1t is now owe three months since
the new tariff law was approved by the
President. While the most ultra-pro-
tcetionists will not contend that the
new law could have such a marvellous
effect upon trade conditions in so short
a time, no careful observer will deny
that the revival Of business confidence
has been steady and continuous since
it's enactment. 1t is an illustration Of
what a settled economic policy on the
part of the Government will do for the
business interests of the country.
The significant features Of the phe-
nomenal trade improvement are the
heavy increase In iron production and
consumption, the largest payments
through clearings ever known in Octo-
Der, the increase In the employment of
labor and the record breaker in wheat
exports. At every point where actual
production can be tested 1t appears
greater than before. The increase in
the employment Of labor has continued
and there are daily reports Of resump-
ton Of work in idle factories and sharp
advances in wages.
The September exports Of wheat SUR
pass all records, amounting to 25,S6S.-
S3S bushels, against 17.646,S15 bushels
last year, the value being over 100 per
cent larger for all breadstuffs. For the
week just closed the total exports of
wheat from both coasts Of the United
States aggregated 5000, 100 bushels,
against 4,S35.641 bushels last week, A.
1851 bushels a year ago and 2,4O9, 900
bushels in 1896.
With such a favorable showing in
all departments Of business activity
the pessimistic calamity waller hasn't
q leg left to stand on.

A Sure Barometer.

The monthly statement Of the postal re-
ceipts OF the principal cities Of the coun-
try, which has just been made public. is
OF great significance as m indication OF
the condition Of general business. A
handsome increase in the income Of the
postofices of the leading cities was made
in September. as compared with the same
month in 1896. In only a few places Of
$1,000 inhabitants or over was there any
falling off in the month. One Of these
was New Orleans, where the decline was
probably due to the yellow fever, which
has seriously depressed business in that
town and throughout a large part OF the
region bordering on the Gulf Of Mexico.

fall Of 5000 tons. The amount Of iron
made now and during three months past
ls very closely equal to the amount in
1870; but the amour actually consumed
is considerably greater.
This goes to the root Of prosperity be-
cause the consumption Of iron is the best
possible measure Of the activity Of rail-
roads. both in maintenance and in new
construction. OF house building and of new
manufacturing plants. This increased ac-
tivity also was chiefly in the past month.
From July l to Sept. / stocks only fell
l36,5O2 tons. In September pig iron
stocks fell 1883 tons. Taking pro-
duction and stocks together, in July and
August, about 172. 700 tons were consum-
ed each week; in September 226, 200 tons
weekly. Here is an increase OF $500
tons in the weekly consumption Of iron
in September over the average of July
and August. an increase of 81 per cent.
Such an advance in the consumption of
iron indicates a very large advance in the
disbursement OF wages, because the
amount spent on any enterprise for iron is
4 very small share Of the total expended
for wages in the same enterprise.

What Comptroller Eckels Says.
The statement Of Comptroller Eckels Of
the United States treasury in regard to
the business improvement throughout the
country is very encouraging. He states
that ''the improvement has come rapidly
and permeates all lines OF industry. 1t
began with the agricultural class. The
farmers have large crops and are getting
good prices for them. The cattle raisers
are benefited by n substantial rise in the
price OF cattle. The same is true with the
sheep ~raisers. This improvement in agri-
cultural earnings has had its effect on the
railroads by increasing their earnings. 1t
has put money into circulation and en-
abled people to pay off their debts. and
has thereby benefited the merchants"

The Financial Chronicle notes many
proofs OF improving business. Bank clear
ings in August were 36 per cent better
than in August, 1896, and September
clearings are so per cent better. The
September clearings, in fact, are the larg-
est in our history. Failures were but
1.O12, with liabilities of $40, 300, 0a33.
against 1,514 failures, with $40, 774,917
OF liabilities in the same month last year.
Railroad earnings were 1876 per cent bet
ter on eighty-four roads than on the same
roads in the same month of 1896. These
are cheering signs Of a general growth in
business and returning prosperity. If We
could only quiet our jingoes and give prac-
teal interests n chance a bright future
might be anticipated. Baltimore Sun
