Quick Tariff Work.

The quick work done by Congress on
the Dingley Tariff is hardly appreciated
as it should be. Congress was called to-
gether in extraordinary session on
March 10. In four months and nine
days the bill had passed both the Unit
ed States Senate and the House Of Rep
resentatives, was acted upon in confer
ence, finally passed by the Senate, and
was signed by the President. This COW
cred a period Of 131 days. In 1890 the
Mckinley bill, reported ON April 16,
passed the House ON May 81, but was
delayed in the Senate till September,
and again still further delayed in con-
ference, not being signed by the Presi-
dent till October 1, 1890. 1t was in all
1858 days before Congress.
When the Democratic party was IN
control, the Mills bill dragged along in
1888 and 1889 for nearly 300 days. and
then failed to pass. The Gorman-Wilson
bill was reported to the House by the
Ways and Means Committee ON De-
cember 10, 1893, and reported to the

September wheat sold at SSh1 cents On
the Chicago Board Of Trade Wednesday
and the cash article was quoted ut from
30 to 0S cents, according to its quality.
This, up to that day, was the highest price
since March, 1892. There was nothing as
high as 90 cents in 1893, 1894. 1895 or
1896. The advance last year eliminated
around 50 cents. Wednesdays advance
was . cents, making an advance of almost
20 cents within five weeks. July q Sep
TENDER wheat sold at 643MA cents. There
has not been such an advance as Wednes-
days since the days of the Russian pro-
hibition, that sweetest memory of the man
who never thinks wheat high enough. And
men who think they know Il thing or W.
about the pit-at least other men in the
pit listen respectfully while they express
their views-are talking about wheat
cheap at a dollar"
1t has been six years since the price of
when was boosted so high in IL single day.
The lowest price for wheat Tuesday was
S3Ea cents IL bushcl md the highest price
Wednesday was SS1la cents u bushel. This
is u net advance of 5 cents Il bushel, which
is considered Il big thing by those who
have it to pny. The traders in the pit
climbed over n another in the excite
ment that was accustomed by this unusual
advance.
When the trading for the day was clos
ed the men who emerged from the pit
looked as if they were tired and their
clothes did not fit them. They had been
having "a hard time during the trading
hours. Every cable dispatch relating to
wheat prices that came told of advances
and the reports on crop estimates from
the wheat regions told of small yields. The
two kinds of information REINFORCED each
other in making the price of wheat go up,
and every time it advanced a point the
noise in the pit was increased and the

cents. When time was called in the morn
ing the bulls laid their horns under the
cereal, gave a concerted heave and threw
it to a height Of 85M cents. All over the
pit could be heard the moaning Of hooked
bears, and the strongest men turned pale
to see the way in which some of those fat
old millionaires grew purple at the
thought of losing a brick or SO out of their
new corner mansions.
Then the bears inserted their claws and
began to jerk. At ii o'clock wheat had
fallen to S4M cents and the agonized bel
low of the average bull filled the pit with
a babel of sound that rcscmbled nothing
so much as d convocation of terriers with
a cannon cracker in IL barrel. Up and
down shot the prices-only an eighth or SO
at a jump-and the roaring yells Of "An'
ave-eighths! An a half! Gotcher! Come
on, come on! Take 5000 bushels at that!
Wow! Wool! Who said thrce-quartersY

amounting to 2OO.OOO,OOO, but a report
came that SO,OOO,OOO would be about

ey. So it appears that while the amount
OF gold in the world for each individual
has been doubled in fifty years, the

thus making the gold of the world four
times as much per individual rs it was

This increase in gold, coupled with
the increase in the percentage of that

most important facts to be taken into
