More Money In Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be
tween the quantity of money in circula-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be on flood tide. For more than
a twelvemonth now the amount of mon
ey in circulation in the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
/, 1896, about the time the Chicago
platform was in the process of incuba-
ton and the mouth of the popocrat was
full of demands for more of the circu-
lating medium, the total money i'll cir
culation in the United States was ST.
500, 725, 900, making $21 10 per capita
on an estimated population of $780,,
600.
Nov. /, 1895, on the eve Of the cleo
ton, when the people of the United
States were to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was $1,627, 055,
GA, making S22. SO per capita on an es-
timated population of 71,902,000.
March /, 1897, on the eve of McKin-
ley's Inauguration, the total money in
circulation i'll the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum of ST.,
675, 694, 953, making $23.1 per capita
ON an estimated population of 72,418,-
600
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money in circulation in the United
States it is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to
$1G5, 900, 1853, or more than 81 per cap
tia of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still $1.30
below that of 1899, just before the pan
ic. But the per capita is now higher
than it was in 1890 or any year III the
history of the republic prior to that.
Then why are the times not as good as
they were along in the late eighties?
Simply because good times depend on
public confidence and industrial activ-
ity, and not on the amount of money in
circulation. This is simply the teaching
Of the old proverb that nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling. -

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While "a government can within its
territory define that which shall con
stitute legal tender in satisfaction OF
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value OF
its money, for money is a commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kets of the world under the laws of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, are stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions OF
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeahle at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued. but also in the markets
of the world.

BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
senator Jones Admits That There Can BE
but One Standard Of Value.


No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard Of value,
any more than ii can maintain more
than one standard Of weight, or more
than one standard Of measure, or more
than one standard Of length. II there
be two or more standards Of different
value, the standard If lower value will
in practice become the only standard.
If one goes into the market. the law
being that yard shall be either two
feet or three feet in length, and buys
carpets by the yard at feed price,
there VIII be delivered to him carpets
measured in yards Of two feet in length.
If he buy coal by the ton, the law being
that ton shall be either 1900 or 2,240
pounds, he viii receive tons Of 1000
pounds each If he buy potatoes by the
bushel, the law being that a bushel
shall contain either two pecks or four
pecks, there will be delivered to him
bushels of two pecks each.
On the same principle, if the law be
that a dollar is either gold coin, with
bullion value equal to its face value
or a silver coin, with a bullion value of
only half its face value, and not con-
vertible at par into gold coin, the sell
ers of the carpets, the coal and the pota-
toes will be paid in dollars Of the lesser
value.
There never has been and there never
can be in any country at any time a BIZ
metallic standard, and the attempt to
create double standard has never pro-
duced anything better than an alter
mating standard, with the inevitable
consequences Of injustice with reference
to past contracts and uncertainty with
reference to future contracts.
Indeed, Senator Jones admits in the
report Of the silver commission of 1876
that whenever under the double stand
ard there is variance between the le-
gal and market relations of the metals
the standard would be practically based
on one metal, and it the cheaper and
more available one Z" The financial his
tory of the United States and of France
furnish conclusive evidence of the accu-
racy of the senator's view on this point.

APPROVED BY Ii HUNG
Plan of the Belgian Railway Syndi-
cate Sanctioned.


PEKIN, May 29.-Li Hung Chang
has issued an edict sanctioning the plan
of the Belgian syndicate for the con-
struction of a railroad from Pao Ting
Flu to Han Kau.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Pekin, published May 1S, said that, in
Difference to the protest of Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many, the Tsung Ii Yamen had repudi-
ated the monopoly scheme entered into
by Sheng Ia Jen, the Chinese director
general Of railways, with Belgian
syndicate on behalf of the Chinese gov
errment, but authorized Sheng Ia Jen
to sign a private contract with the
syndicate for the construction of the
proposed line of railway from Pao Ting
Flu to Han Kau. Under this arrange
ment the Belgians must. provide "a
G0G,000 as four per cent ninety-year
loan on the imperial guarantee. The
existing railways are not to be given as
security. Sheng Ia Jen must provide
from other sources the sum of 13, 900, 900
taels. The Chinese are to retain the
control of construction, but the person
mel of the constructionists is to be Bel
gian. Half the material is to be sup
piled by China and the other half from
tenders from abroad. The syndicate is
to receive a 5 per cent commission on
all materials. In the contract is a
clause apparently designed to provide
against the transfer of rights under
the contract to any other nation, but
it's terms are ambiguous.

HINTS FROM HARVARD.
President Eliot Expresses His Senti-
ments About College Athletics.

mentS ABOUT COne&e Atnlet1cS.
At recent meeting of Harvard stu
dents President Eliot expressed his
views and the views of the corporation
Of Harvard college in regard to the
athletic situation.
1.-The corporation desires to see Har-
ward teams victorious, but victorious
in manner BETTING sportsmen and
amateurs" said President Eliot Speak
ing for himself, the president said that
he had taken part in the athletic eX-
ercises, for which he was fitted when
in college, and that these exercises had
been of material benefit to him during
his later life. The value Of competi-
tive athletics lay in the victory hardly
circumstances. The crew or the team
which starts under unfavorable cir
cumstances and gradually works it's
way to the front feels that the part
of the race which was distinctly worth
while was the part in which it was
fighting inch by inch to overcome the
lead which it's opponents held.
President Eliot distinctly deprecated
the support which is shown in shouting
the other fellow off the field, charac-
terizing it as ungentlemanly and un-
spcrtsmanlike. He thought, however,
that there was a great Improvement in
this respect over former times. He
regarded the coming of Mr.. Lehman to
Harvard, bringing English ideas of
amateur sport, as an epoch making
step in the history of American inter-
collegiate sport and warmly applauded
the broad spirit he represents.

out rather easily. This year they are
a decided first. Not since 1888 has q
prominent base ball team taken such a
that year the Athletics of the American
association started off with just such
a rush and won the pennant by mar
gin of one or two games.
If it were any Of the other twelve
clubs of the major base ball organiza-
ton which had rushed off into such u
prominent lead, there would be more
hope Of it being headed, but the Balti-
mores are looked upon by the players
of the other clubs as almost invincible,
and as a rule the opposing mines take
defeat as granted before they play the
game.
Only the well-established uncertainty
of base ball gives hope that the UNI
expected may turn up in some shape
during the remaining four months Of
the race and pull the three times cham
pfons out Of their stride. It is the first
year in which they have led the pro-
cession so early, and maybe this lead
will have it's astonishing surprise lit
tie later on. The chance is a small
one, however, and in the betting ring
the Baltimores would be an odds on
favorite against the whole field.
Some of the other twelve teams are
turning up just as big surprises,
though Of different kinds, perhaps. The
New Yorks' poor work in the West has
been a severe blow to base pan ad
mirers Of the metropolis. Rusie's great
pitching form Is alone the redeeming
feature of the Giants period Of
s.sIump." Those who study form have
no doubt of the New York clubs final
advancement, but it's loss Of so much
ground in the first fifth Of the race
is very discouraging. Still more dis
appointing has been the Chtcagos'
start. because Anson has fought most
home. where the advantages are all
his own. To the failure of Fred Pfeffer.
the veteran second baseman, is attrib.
uted much Of the Colts bad position in
the race His fielding at critical points
was disastrous, and to his account are
placed five or six defeats. The natural
outcome was his displacement from
the nine. When the New York club
laid him off a year ago and finally re-
raised the cry Of discrimination
against the New York mana cement
Now the club is vindicated Gleason is
playing one Of the most brilliant games
at second base in the profession, and
Pfeffer is on the bench.
The Clevelands' start was weak
one in spite of the aid which Socka-
lexis rendered and the large number
of their home games. Taking into ac-
count the fact that Tebeau and his
men will have to close the season away
from home during the final six weeks
of the race, it is hard to see how they
can secure as good "a position at the
end as they had last year. The iBos-
tons, after the most discouraging start
OF any club in the league. have pulled
together and made good record on
the Western trip. ALL things consid-
cred, ON form the Bostons must be
rated as probable One-two-three fin-

MERIT MAKES IT~FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy In the World, Ex-
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.


The study Of physicians, the expert
ments Of chemists, the loudly adver.
tised pretentions Of quacks, have been
for years expended In one direction:
to find pile cure that would cure.
The results have been a number Of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance Of experience
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations. -s-'e'sss' tsf

Until two years ago no such remedy
had been produced but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven. itself to
be the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
1t has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists
under the name of the Pyramid Pile
Cure.
It is now the best known, because
its merit and safety have advertised
it wherever used. It has been adver-
tised by word of mouth from one suf-
ferer to another; people who had tried
everything else, even submitting to
painful and dangerous surgical opera
tions without avail have finally found
that piles may be cured without pain
and without expense, practically, as

nominal price of 50 cents and 81 per
