If war ensues the money circulation
of the country would rapidly increase,
prices will go up, and the value of sill

world to meet the demands of COM

jority Of financiers hold such to be the
case; but in case of war other currency
must be resorted to, and silver being a
money metal would be proportionately
stiffened in value. There is talk now in
Europe of the great volume of gold
which must flow to America in the
event of a declaration of war. How
ever, the volume of circulation has
been increasing in a marked way since
the election of Mckinley. In the month
of January the net increase in the cir

was $8,S90,58 The gain was at the rate
of about per cent annually. In the

Of the circulation in that period was
more than $64, 900, 900, however, which
means an increase of about per cent.
Since the population of the United
States does not increase more than
about per cent annually, it is clear
that the money in circulation is ex-
banding about twice as fast, relatively
speaking, as the number Of people who
use it.

Purcell Register: The Indians who wish
TO migrate TO Mexico would do well to
read history. There is no sentiment in
Mexico. The Indians there were con-
quered or killed; the warriors were sent
down into the mines; the squaws and chill
dren were distributed among families
The consequence is, that the Indians have
assimllated with the Mexicans and are
cltlzens. These poems are now free; but
tneir condition is well known. On the
other hand, Uncle Sam has made his
wards the richest people on earth. per
capita, and their condition Is far superior
to white citizens of the United States
Some tribes have an average of ST., 900 per
capita and land unlimited.
