Bank Statement Misleading.

New York, June 12.-The FInancier
says: The statement OF the clearing
house banks of New York city for the
week endil z Juue II, in common with
the two Immediately preceding 1t, ls Of
very misleading nature and is so in
volved in technicaItes as to furnish no
ground for the assumption that business
is expanding III proportion to the in
crease in l0uns and other items. The
main causes that lead to the heavy
changes exclusively reported in this
analysis last week will hold good again,
For example, tho increase in the loaHs
Of the banks for the week ending June

itself, but as the loans of the National
city bank alone represent an expansion

tional, which 1t has absorbed, decrease
of one million, it is plain that the re-
maiuing banks have actually decreased
their loans Sl,230,0O0 during the Six
days. This puts an entirely different
complexion on the statement So, Also
the other increases appear to be due to
special causes. According to the state
ment the banks gained in cash $3,244.-
800 aid in net deposits 1856, 400. The
increase in the latter item it will be
noted, il not as large as the other
changes require, showing that the state
ment does not give the actual condition
OF the banks. As bearing out this claim,
count for the total changes in the items
Of deposits anil legal tender increase
or the total Increase of So 2S7,000 IN
legal tenders the Hanover and Westera
National banks are responsible for at
least $3,069,0 600, and in the item of depos
lis they show an increase of 81, 754 ,000
which is over 70 per cent. Of the total in
crease reported by all the other clear
ing house banks.
This, it is needless to say, is an an
amolous feature and not easily ex-
planned. OF course the boom in the
stock market has some connection with
it, but preparations for the payment OF
euear dividend probably accounts for
the Western Nationals increase, espe
cially since that bank has for its pres

The Tariff and Prosperity.

Ii the re-enactment OF protective
tariff law will insure restoration of
prosperity in this country that event
should have occurred already, because
it is as certain now as il will be wien
the bill is signed that a new protective
tariff act framed to suit the great trusts
and combines that furnished the Doodle
which Boss Hanna used 30 effectively
last fall, will be ia full force and effect
Within six weeks.
Thore is no occasion for uncertainty
regarding the result. Tue house passed
the DIngley tariff bill without debate or
consideration OF any kind and the sen
ate will pass the same measure in d
somewhat amended form ne soon AS the
necessary formalities can be concluded
A conference committee will then
patch up measure which will probably
emboly the most Objectionable features
of the two under discussion, and, what
ever it may be, President Mckinley will
sign it as soon as it reaches him.
These facts are we'll known to the
business interests of the country and
the werld, and hence we ought to have
prosperity in full blast now if we are
goirg to get it at all as a result of pro
tectlve tariff legislation.
We predict that the promise OF better
business conditions, based upon repubi.
can tariff tinkeripg, will prove as delus
i've as the assurance that McKinley's
election would accomplish the same
object.
1t is seven mouths now since McKin-
ley and Sound money, Won at the polls,
and the danger OF "50-cent dollars" was
knocked ont, but nobody pretends that
the business situation is better now thar
it was just before the election or inst
after that event. Neither the single
gold standard nor protection will give us
prosperity so long as the general level
of prices is steadily forced downward by
the existing and continuing money fam

THE STAMP COLLECTORS.

Some cntcrprising gentlemen in Sa-
moA have proposed to take the post
Office and run it as business, by work
ing off unlimited quantities of postage
stamps upon the dealers and collectors
of the rest of the world
The Peruvian government has real
lied a net profit of $19,9j0 fl ON the sale
Of the last commemorative issue AS
long as collectors keep on purchasing
these commemorative issues the South
American governments will find events
to commemorate
The stamp dealers are getting over
the scare caused by the arrest of the
Washington clerk who was caught sell
ing postage due and periodical stamps.
Powerful influence is at work to save
him from punishment. A man has been
found who thinks he remembers giving
these stamps to the clerk, and finally
the claim is made that the stamps are
no good anyhow, being only proof
sheets.
Perhaps the greatest rarity turning
up the past year was a pair of two-cent
circular stamps of British Guiana- is
sued in 1850, and they are probably
worth upward of $4,000 The stamps
were first found by woman residing
in the colony, and were 3fterward ac-
quired by prominent DCmcrra COL

purchased by one Of the big London
firms for wealthy English collector,

his honor and prepared telegram 10
be sent to the Senator. Stern thought
it did 20, but the member who volun-
tesred to carry it to the telegraph office
tore it up and himself wrote the reply,
authorizing the use of Daniels name.
The club has met monthly and each
mans dues when paid up was refused
by the treasurer except Stern's dues,
which went to buy drinks. Thinking
they had carried the joke far enough
