The old gold bond scheme crop
ed up again last week. Those
behind it thought it possible to
take advantage of the enthused
patriotism of congress to rush
through bill authorizing an issue
OF gold bonds, but at the first hint
of the scheme they discovered their
error. The democrats would not
60 so far as to support the resolu-
ton offered by Senator Allen, alb
solutely prohibiting any further
increase in the bonded indebted
ness of the country, but they will
never allow bill providing for an
issue of gold bonds to pass, war or
no war. They can be counted
upon to give the administration
every legitimate support in raising
money to conduct the war, just as
they have done up to the present
time, but they will never be tricked
by any gold bond scheme.

One of the most encouraging
of the annual statements issued by
insurance companies this year is
that of the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association, which appears
on the eighth page Of this weeks
issue, although this is young
company, it is one of the most
prosperous ones. It shows that
che total income of the company
last year amounted to $6,081, 309.-
81, an increase of over half mil
lion in two years. The payments
to policy holders last year amount
ed to over S4,000,O00, an increase
over 1896 of l73,278.O2. Similar
progress is noted in the record of
business received. The business
submitted from the agency force
during 1897 exceeded that received
from the same source in 1896, it
amounting to $7l,525,755. A
some what larger per centage of
rejection, postponements, and eases
held under investigation is, how
ever, shown this year than before,
but the business actually written

GILL FOR TOLUNTEERS.

President NcKinley's call for
l25, 1000 volunteers to serve in the
United States army for two years
or until discharged gives the
Government sufficient force with
which to begin active operations
looking towards the invasion of
Cuba.
The call as issued will cover
fully the National Guards strength
of the United States and will give
various states troops an excellent
opportunity to furnish instant
proof not only of their loyalty to
the flag but also of their military
efficiency for swift mobilization.
For some time past the National
Guard has been preparing for this
call and, if all reports from the
States be true, they are ready to
move quickly. The regular army
has already led the way in this
movement of mobilization. It
behooves the volunteer soldiery to
give a creditable exhibition of
effective celebrity in their sweep to
the South.
And then, side by side, the re-
gulars and the volunteers will form
the army of American occupation
of Cuba, the first combined move
ment of which will probably be
be the land assault on Havana in
support of the United States war
ships now blockading that port.
Americans all, the honor of the
nation and CT the flag is now in
their keeping and there should be
a soldierly rivalry between the
two as to the value Of their services
to the nation and the flag.

SPALN'S BIG DEBT.

A table of the Spanish debt pre-
pared by the Assistant United
States Treasurer shows, January l,
1898, that Spain owes in principal
the sum Of 81, 7L9, OOO,O 600, and in
interest and sinking fund account,
$lO5.0O0,000. This debt is for
money borrowed in past years at
4, 5 and 6 per cent. The total
makes a debt per capita of nearly
500. The United States debt per
capita Is SIS. 1t takes two thirds
of Spain's revenue to pay the
annual interest aud sinking fund
charges.
Instructions in Cuba have
cost Spain many millions of dollars,
there being three Cuban loans
floated aggregating $449,680,00O,
taking sl7, 543,700 in gold to pay
the interest on the issues of 1856
and in 1890 and SIG, 100000 to pay
the interest ON the bonds of 1896.
7-8, guaranteed by Cuban customs
revenue. A floating debt against
tho Cuban treasury exiets in add
ton, to the amount of$70,000,000.
The last Cuban bonds of $3.50, o00-
600 were also made q lien on
Spain's own revenue and other
Spanish resources out side of
Cuba.
1t is no wonder that Spain is soil
citing charity of the wealthy, as
the process of taxation of the in
habitants fails to produce the
necessary money to carry on her
wars of determination and to keep
down the instructions due to her
pirannical government. 1t is also
noted that Spain has always been
able to raise great deal of money
when her resources appear to be
almost gone.
