More Money In Circulation.

If there was any actual relation be
tween tho quantity of money in cireula
tion and national prosperity, we would
now be on n flood tide For more than
twelvemonth now the amount of mon.
oy 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 moro of tho oircu-
lating medium. the total money in cir
collation. In the United States was $1,-
500, 1876, 200, making $21. 10 per capita
on an estimated population of II, 800, .
900.
Nov. 1. 1896, on the eve of the cleo
tion, when the people of tho United
States were to give their verdict against
a debased and deprecated currency, the
money in circulation was S1,627, 055,-
Ola, making $22 63 per capita on ON es-
timated population of II, 002, 900.
March l. 1897. on the eve of McKih-
ley's Inauguration, tho total money in
circulation in the United States had
risen TO the unprecedented sum of ST.,
e76. 604, 068. making $23. Ii per capita
oman estimated population of 72,4iS,-
600.
To fully appreciate this increase of
the money In circulation in the United
States 1t is only necessary to say that
in the last ten months it amounted to |
Si05. 900. 1853, or more than SO per cap
itn of the entire population.
While the absolute circulation has
passed all previous high water marks
the per capita circulation is still 81. 80
below that of 1899. just before the pam
10. 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 US good as
hey were along in the late eighties!
Simply because good times depend ON
public confidence and industrial aotiv-
ty. and not on the amount of money In
circulation. This is simply the teaching
If the old proverb thata nimble six
,ence is better than slow shilling. -

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

That the United States will be
in position to dictate the price of
wheat this year is the confident
prediction Of many of the closest
observers of the general crop stu
alton. The American crop, it is
generally conceded, will be large,
yet the price Of wheat is advancing.
steadily, and the best authorities
predict higher prices, based on the
statistical position of this country.
The worlds visible supply at
the present time probably is the
smallest for years and the demand
from Europe for American wheat
is the cause of the recent advance.
There has been no change for the
better in the European crop out
look. It is estimated that the
English crop will fall short two
bushels to the acre. Reports from
Russia are dubious, and heavy
shortage in France is almost a GER
tainty. Advices also indicate that
the crops of Austria, Hungary,
Bulgaria and portions of Germany
and Italy will fall below the aver
age.
The foreign demand for Ameri-
can wheat is we'll sustained, while
evidences are not lacking that
shrewd American spectators are
in the market on the bull side.
As was the case last year, the
present strength of the market is
attributed jointly to English buy
ing and to q speculative movement
for higher prices in st. Louis and
Chicago.

The oKinley bill, which caused
the republican party to be swept

an average ad valorem rate Of 40
per cent The Wilson bill which
wrought sad havoc and schism in

is likely that the original figures
