The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1898-11-10

THE Treasury department of the
United States has just issued most
instructive summary of the banking
currency, coinage and the production
of precious metals in the country in
the century of l797-1897. Some of the
of the banking and currency figures
90 back as far as IVA. During the
century the increase in the number Of
banks was from twenty-five to 9,457
i'm amount of capital stock from &c.,
200, 900 to 81 ,O27, 493, 653, and in amount
of bank circulation from $4,000, 600 to
S19S, 92O,67O. From 1909, the earliest
date, under which deposits were re.
ported, to the close of the century, the
increase in this item was from $780,
600 to s5,193. 755, 1907, and of the last
sum, 81 1888, 376,O35 represented the
thrsft of our people as shown in their

4.99 to $24.74 for every man, woman
and child in the country.

Parsnip Com lexion.

It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip- colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling as lift must
be at once repeated, or the urine has a
brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing OF
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad-
der specialist, is positive remedy for
such disease. Its reputation is world
wide and it is 50 easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The ISLAND
Err and write to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, n. Y, for a sample bottle and
book telling all about it, both sent abso-
lutely free by mail.

READERS fond of statistics Will find
some appesizing morsels in a prelimi-
nary report of the United States Naval
Board of Ordinance on the destruction
of the Spanish fleets at Manila and of
Santiago de Cuba. The cost of the
vessels and equipment of the two fleets
is estimated at nearly $3O,O0O,OOO. On
our side, the destruction of Cervera's
fleet cost in powder and shell between
1000 and 100000, and OF Montejo's
fleet $45, COOLIES than $15O,OOO in all.
Admiral Dewey's fleet fired total OF
1851 projectiles, and Admiral Samp-
sons 1858. In the Santiago fight the
Brooklyn fired the largest number of
projectiles, 1878; the flagship New
York the smallest, two; and the battle
ship Oregon the second largest number.

THE "ISLANDER'S" REMOVAL.

WE should be right down sorry if
any of our friends should be looking for
us with the money to pay their subscrip-
lions and should leave town without
doing so because of being unable to
find us at our old location. We wanted
to get little further away from the
baleful influence of the court house
gang-especially the treasurer, who
don't agree with us in politics
the plutocrats i'm the San Juan County
bank, and then, too. it seemed to be no
more than fair that we should get
where Blue Front Carter cannot con-
veniently keep constant watch ON
our front and back doors and see if
aHy one comes in to pay us four bits
on account, thus enabling him to rush
right over and get it before his fellow
merchants could have chance. We
don't believe in that sort of discrimina-
ton and want to give them all fair
show. Besides, we wanted to get
where the wintry winds would blow
less freely through our whiskers and
the places where there ought to be
patches on our pants. These and
other equally weignty considerations
conspired to bring about our removal
to the more comfortable and commodi-
Gus quarters further up the main
theroughfare of "the city," where ou1
latch string now hangs out. It may
be that we don't look quite so badly
in need of money here as we did at the
old place, but our creditors will beal
us out in the statement that appear.
ances in this respect are deceitful
However, our friends are most cordi
ally invited to come and see us any
way. If they are "well fixed" anG
want to make liberal contribution te
keep the ball of truth still rolling W,
shall of course "rejoice and be exceed
ing glad;" but if they are delinquen
and broke we will know how to sym
patize with them and appreciate theil
assurances of good will.

A GREAT ECONOMIC TRIUMPH.

The advance sheets of "Poor's Man.
nel," which gives the statistics of the
railroads in the United States, show
that in 1897 the ton mileage carried on
all of our railroads for the year Tor the
number of tons multiplied by the dis
tance carried) amounted to 1Ol 81 ,43O,-
6i7. For this service the railroad com.
panies received SITS, sO7 500, or in other
words they carried ton of freight one
mile for 66-100 mills, about three
quarters of cent.
Contrasting this cost with what Null.
hall says is the average ton mileage
cost of freight carrying in Great Brit
ain-viz., 2 $40 cents-we find that un.
der the conditions presented by free
trade the cost to our producers and
consumers would have been over s..
O0O,OQ0,000 greater than behind the
"Chinese WALTZ OF protection.
1t makes little difference to the man
ayers of railroads that any cost O
transportation must be taken in some
ratio from the gains and resources O
Ppth producers and consumers. an6
they are too apt to only think of bring
