More Money In C;rcnlation.

If there was any actual relation be-
tween the quantity of money in circula-
ton and national prosperity, we would
now be Oh a food tide. For more than
twelvemonth now the amount Of mon
ey in circulation in the United States
has been steadily on the increase. July
l, 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 in cira
culation in the United States was 3D..
800, 72b, 200, making 1.15 per capita
on an estimated population of u, $780,
900.
Nov. l, 1896, on the eve of the cleo
ton, when the. people Of the United
States weie to give their verdict against
debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was 81, 627, 055,-
GA, making S22. 63 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 in the United States had
risen to the unprecedented sum OF ST.
1904, 1913, making $780, IA per capita
on an estimated population of 72,418,-
900.
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 1t amounted to
$165, 969,753, or more than - per cap.
ita of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still $3.50
below that of 1892, just before the pam
ic. But the per capita is now higher
than it was in 1890 or any year in 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 ninble six
pence is better than slow shilling

Condition OF Cuban Army.

Washington, June 4.-Capt. w.
ID. Smith of the Cuban army spent
considerable time again today with
the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations, In brief interview with a
representative of the Associated
Press he said:
"The Cuban army is now in better
condition to resist the Spaniartls and
to MAINTAIN the fight for independ-
ence than it has been since the be-
ginning of the war. Gen. Gomez
has well disciplined army of about
40, 900 men, who are determined to
hold out until their efforts shall be
crowned with victory. Our soldiers
are rapidly procuring arms and every
day serves to put them on better
footing in this respect. Our troops
enjoy vast advantage over the
Spaniards in that they are not injuri.
ously affected by the climate. l may
say that / have not seen a case of
yellow fever or smallpox among the
Cuban soldiers since l have been on
the island aud that l have not been
sick day myself. Furthermore we
have no difficulty in feeding our
troops. In the portion of the coun-
try in which the Cuban troops are in
control the provisions are protected
and we draw our supplies from this
source. Our commissary, is, there
fore, regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite
sufficient to meet all our wants."
In reply to a question Capt. Smith
said: All talk about autonomy and
of Spanish reforms for Cuba is so
much breath wasted. There is not
man in the Cuban army who will
agree to accept anything short of alb
solute independence"
Capt. Smith Is an American. He
has been in Cuba for a year and is
an officer in Gen. Gomez's body
guard.

Does Bad Work.
H. M, Dufur of Montpelier, an
insurance agent and professional
wrestler, was shot while passing
through White River junction Thurs
day night as passenger on the Pas
sumpsic way freight tram, and 1t is
feared he will die from his injuries.
DR.. S. j. Allen is under arrest as
the one who did the shooting.
The bullet passed through the car
window and curtain and, entering
Dufur's right cheek, shattered the
upper jaw, split the tongue and up
per lip, and Just grazed the neck OF
Conductor Seeley, who was passing
There are many conflicting stories
ahoat concerning the affair. Dr.
Allen claims that the shooting was
purely accidental, that he was shoot
ing at a target and the bullet missed
the mark and passed through the car
window.
The tram hands, however, claim
that the bullet which went wide of the
target did no particular damage. 1t
attracted their attention, however,
and, while the train was stopped not
far from DR.. Aliens house, they pro
tested against his shooting In that dl-
rection, whereupon the doctor delib-
erately raised his gun and fired the
shot which Inflicted pufur's wound.
The injured man was In a critical
condition Friday forenoon and the
physicians still state that there is lit
tie chance for him to letover.
DR.. Allen will be held to await the
result of Dufur's injuries.
The local officers began an inves-
tigation into the circumstances attend
Ing the shooting early Friday morn
ing and at noontitne it was learned
that they had discovered evidence
which was thought to bear out the
claim of the trainmen.
An examination of the car showed
that the bullet hole in the curtain
was on dead level with that in the
window, as if deliberate aim had been
taken. The curtain was pulled down
before Dufur took the seat.
1t is stated, however, in view of
the accidental theory, that the cur
tain being pulled down no one could
be seen in the car and that at the
time he was shot Dufur was speaking
to the conductor.
DR.. Allen has lived in White River
junction many years. About 10
years ago he attained considerable
prominence through having been
mixed up in barroom fight in Boston,
in which a man was shot.

conflicts, "on one hand, with our right
to the most favored nation treatment,

damage Austro Hungarian exports"

More

Curative power is contained in Hoods
Sarsaparilla than in any other similar pre-
paration. 1t costs the proprietor and
manufacturer more. 1t costs the jobber
more and it is worth more TO to the con-
sumner. More skill is required in its PIE
paration and it combines more remedial
qualities than any other medicine. Con-
sequently it has record of more cures
and its sales are more than those of any
other preparation. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the best medicine to buy because it is
an honest medicine and thousands of tes-
timonials prove that it does actually and
permanently cure disease.
