resented will aggregate $3.50. 900, 900,
Or three and thrce-guartcr times the
amount OF the issue Early this
week Assistant Secretary Aanderlip,
who las bad Immediate supervision
of the work in connection with the
loan. became convinced that the sub
scrip,ions Of individuals would be far
more than sufficient to wholly absorb
the loan, and give instructions that
checks representing all subscriptions
Of corporations be prepared and re
turned TO The sendelS tonight. 1t is
thought at the treasury department
that no individual subscriptions as
high as $40, 900 VIII receive an allot-
mcnt Of bonds.
Al 10 o'clock tonight Assistant

be arrived at and the exact line at
which al Of them will be made an

That it will be around SD, 600, THAT is
to say all applications in g smaller
amount will be allotted in full, while
Applications for a larger amount will
receive nothing. At this hour, there
has actually been Used Ss4 300, ,ooC
Of the $500 and smaller subscrr ~ ions,

Will carry probably Just about 800

totalod in the subscriptions larger
than $500, IS at this hour $500, $40,
$40 and ! estimate it will reach s11:}5-

Gates bids, will reach s 1925, ,ooO, 900. .

FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.

The first full fiscal year Of Presi~
dent McKinley's administration
closed with the beginning of this
month. The country finds itself in
the midst Of a war which is being
endorsed by every political convcn-
tion, democratic as well as republi-
can. This is new experience for
the American people. For the first
time in its history the nation is a
unit in approving and vigorously
prosecuting the war in which it has
become involved. Always before
there has been, in time Of war, as
we'll as;in advance of it, peace-at-
any-pricc party. Now that senti~
mcnt isconfned to collegiate senility.
Herein President Mckinley has be-
hind him the whole people as none Of
his predecessors ever had.
We~must wait few days longer
for the statistics of the old fiscal year.
! But enough is known to warrant the
assertion that it will make a most
| successful showing, especially as COM
pared with the previous fiscal year.
The only basis Of comparison now is
the first eleven months Of last year
and the year before. Our imports
eXceeded our exports in those months
1 iof 1897 to the amount of $1A 4S7, 1873
but in 1898 the exports exceeded the
imports $20S, ,003, 917, o difference il
favor Of 1898 Of over 1922, 000,0
This enormous balance Of trade ir
our favor has had the effect Of greatly
increasing the country's stock OF
gold, the imports Of which during
| the eleven months exceeded the ex
ports to the amount OF S1O2, ,o26, 9S5
This gold has gone into the circula.
tion Of the country, and added that
.much to the actual currency Of tht
people.
The total receipts of the treasur,
for the first ten months Of the three
tariffs Of this decade have been PUB
lished and serve as powerful statist
ical Endorsement Of the present ad
ministration. The Dingley tariff ha:
now been in operation ten months
4. The receipts Of the treasury for tina
timc,; exclusive Of Pacific railroad
sales, were. 1865, $50, 706. The re
ceipts for The first ten months of the
1.Wilson tariff We're 1924, 1886, 43l: fo
+ the first ten months Of the Mckinlc,
tariff, 1912, 2,062, sos. The result
under the Dingley tariff were sub
stantially as predicted by Mr.. Ding
ley in his speech in support Of th
bill in it's final form. The reEublcal
party does not indulge in random
guesses on matters susceptible o
close estimates, and it's calculations
like it's promises, can be relied upon
