A practical example of the bene.
st Of q tariff ON wool is to be seen
in the single sale made last week
Wool that year ago was hardly
saleable at any price or at best a,
six and seven cents is now in de-
mand at double that figure. There
is q change in conditions, A new
tariff is in operation giving an in
creased rate on wool and the same
tariff gives precedence to American
mills and factories and to the EN-
ployment Of American labor. The
change in the WOO. business is
only Ole Of the many similar
changes in all branches of business.
The wool growers looking forward
70 next year with confidence that
prices will continue favorable and
that their industry so long de-
pressed will develop into a perma
seut substantial business.

the treasury vaults against which
certificates have been issued can
not be used for that purpose.
When silver dollars are paid out
for Sherman notes those notes are
cancelled. When those dollars
flow back into the treasury certif-
Gates are issued against them, and
paid out. Then it becomes neces-
sary for more silver dollars to be
coined in order to redeem the next
lot OF Sherman notes, the holders
OF which may want silver.
In july OF each year a demand
tor silver dollars to be used in the
south and west sets in and the
treasury stock begins to shrink.
Later in the year these dollars find
their way back into the TREASURY.
During the first six months of this
year $500, 900 silver dollars were
coined. During July. August and
September none were coined. As
the surplus stock is running low
1t will have to be replenished by
the silver bullion represented by
the Sherman notes which h,va
been redeemed in silver dollars
being converted into coin.

Some Currency Problems.

Why is it that the gold reserve
is growing so rapidly and yet the
monthly deficit continues, and why
is the government forced to order
the minis to begin the coinage of
silver dollars, are two questions in
the study of currency that puzzle
the uninitiated just now
The gold reserve has crawled up
nearly to $4,000. 600 and the
treasury officials regard it as pro-
bable that it will touch $500, ooo,-
900 by the end OF the present crop
season. The balance of trade with
foreign countries is largely in our
favor and millions in the yellow
metal are being shipped to America
every week. Another source Of
increase is the demand for small
notes in the south and west to
handle the crop. Small notes and
silver are prefer bic to gold as
currency among the farmers of the
south and west. hence banks have
given up gold to the treasury for
government notes to meet the de-
mand.
The beginning of the coinage of
silver dollars which was suspended
last July, is another phase Of the
situation This resumption O.
work is due to the fact that the
government is running short of
silver dollars. OF which it must
have on hand a sufficient amount
to redeem any Sherman notes
which the holders may ask to have
redeemed in silver. The dollars in

Everything points to revival
in mining industries extending
over a wider area than has ever
been known. In the almost mex
haustible belt Of gold-producitg
territory extending along the en-
tire Rocky mountain rarge
through the United States, Canada
and Alaska there is now greater
activity than has ever been known.
Experts figuring on this era OF
productiveness assert that witt in
the next five years over 500, 900
men will find steady employment
in the gold fields. and that the
riches secured will diffuse a gen
eral prosperity throughout the
country for many years to come.

The campaign in Nebraska
promises to become very warm.
The two factions of the democratic
party have come into sharp con-
flict. Mr.. Bryan will make two
spe, ches day during the remain
der of the campaign. The gold
democrats are aiding the republi-
cans and John G. Carlisle will be
among the speakers who will assist
to make it warm for Mr., BRYAN.
The hope of Bryan's political
future rests on the campaign in
Nebraska. If the republicans aided
by the gold democrats win then
the future holds no g!ittering
promises for the Boy Orator of the
Platte.

Thomas II. Brents today rendered de-
cision In the habeas corpus proceedings
OF A. B. Stahl. who is serving a five-year
sentence for arson, which is far-reaching
in It's effect and will affect a large num-
Der OF prisoners now confined in the pen.
Habeas corpus proceedings were com

Poindexter. on behalf of Stahl, with the
object of determining whether the law
passed by the last legislature relative to
good conduct affected persons impris-
oned previous TO its passage. Allowing
Stahl full credit under the old law. his
term of i've years would not yet have
expired. but If deductions were allowed
under the new law he would have been
entitled 10 his discharge in June last.
