An American Triumph.

The bicycle was originally French
invention. but American workman
ship aud ingenuity have so greatly
improved aud cheapened it that we
are supplying the French with large
share of their wheels.
Consular reports show that the
French Government received last year
no less than $751;, 900 in Tariff duties
on American bicycles, while the inn
portations from England amounted to
nearly nothing. On the other hand,
there is scarcely one French wheel in
all America.

Something over year ago Mr..
Bryan was stating that the only way
to increase the circulating medium OF
the country was by the adoption Of
the free coinage of silver, and yet the
Treasury figures show that today
there are millions aud millions more
more money in circulation than when
this statement was made.

That great business improvement
has come to the country since last July
is conceded by all intelligent observ.
ers; and that this is due largely to the
passage Of the Mckinley tariff must
also be conceded. Whatever may be
the operations OF the new tariff, the
restoration OF confidence brought
about by its passage put into opera
ton millions of dollars which had
heretofore been lying idle, and that
gave employment to hundreds OF
thousands of hands. 1t caused the
country to undergo a change such as
had never before been witnessed by
many Of the present generation, idle
factories and furnaces to start into new
life, and the hum Of industry to sound
from state to state. The new tariff is
likely to warrant the confidence plac-
ed in it, as its revenues are increasing
month by month, and it will be but a
short time when the Treasury will
have monthly surplus instead Of a
deficit, as has been the case for the
last four years.

Americans, OF both sexes aud irre-
spective of politics or religious creed.
The convention will open in the
large auditorium of the sanitarium, to-

first named society was organized on

membership OF 10000, while the sec.
ond was started in New York in 1883
and has z 900 names on its roll. In
both societies the membership qualifi
cation is descent from one who fought
for the independence Of America.
Several months ago, each organiza-
ton appointed committee of five to
draw up a plan for consolidation. The
movement has been mooted for several
years. These committees will report
at the present conventions, but there is
strong opposition ia both orders and it
is doubtful whether consolidation will
prevail. The Indianapolis branch OF
the Sons of the Revolution, Of which
