Lincoln and Mckinley.

How much like belated echo COM
ing over from 1852 all this hot talk
sounds; about McKinley's cowardly
conservatism, about the rising tide OF
patriotism; about the popular demand
for immediate action; about congress
forcing the presidents hand, and all
that sort of thing. It's more than a
generation since then, and few Of the
excitable persons who are full Of red
blood and patriotic fervor, and thrills
Of one sort or another, remember it.
They were not here at the time. Those
who were here and old enough to take
cognizance of current events can re-
member that the cry for immediate
proclamation Of emancipation, which
was raised almost with the first out
break of hoslilities by certain earnest
and sincere patriots, had grown tOpOp-
ular cIamor along in the spring and
summer of 1862. The sad-eyed patient
man at the head of affairs was too slow
for the men Of impulse and men Of
action. The eloquent orators Of the
anti-slavery movement, who conceived
themselves to be great leaders and inn
agined that the war for the Union was
their crusade against slavery, to which
the preservation of the Union was only
an incident, waxed hot over the delay
Of the president in taking what they
considered decisive action. ''FoOls
drift; pilots steer" said Wendell Phil
lips, in one of his carefully studied
passionate outbursts, and the audience
applauded him to the echo. Mr.. Lin
coins most devoted friends were carried
almost Off their feet by what seemed to
be a popular uprising. But he was un-
moved, patient, calm, waiting simply
for the ripening of the occasion in the
fullness of time. "Stand still, Dick,
and see the salvation of the Lord, was
his answer to the opportunities Of his
old friend, Governor Yates, of Illinois.

Barrel, of Money For War.

The money in circulation in the
United States is more than ever before.
1t has increased sag, ,S3S, AIS in the 2l
months since the Chicago convention
took the ground that the money of the
country could not increase materially
without free coinage Of silver, and it
stands at "high-water mark"
A Treasury statement just issued
shows that the money in circulation in
the United States at the beginning Of
the present month was 81, 766, ,05S, ,645, a
sum greater than was ever before shown
in any of the monthly statements on
this subject by the Government. More
than that, gold in circulation is great
er in quantity than ever before. It in
creased during the month of March, in
the teeth of the war blasts, nearly
sl,0O0,OO0 a day, the actual gain for the
month as shown by the Treasury fig
ures being SIS, ,2i4 $50, while the total
increase in the money in circulation
during the month was S29, ,6Sl, ,9S6.
Thus the people of the United States
are now better able to supply the mon
ey necessary for a war fund, whether it
is gathered from among them by taxa
tiOn or by loan, or both, than at any
previous time in the history of the
country. The latest statement of the
Treasury Department shows the "avail-
able cash balance in the Treasury, in
Guiding gold reserve" to be s225, ,OOO,
600.
The contrast between the financial
condition Of the country to-day and
that when it had fairly entered on the
civil war in 1852 is strongly marked.
Then the money in circulation was less
than $50, 600, or one-fifth of what
it is to-day, and the amount per capita
$40 96, against $2s SO, per capita to-day,
as shown by the latest statement OF the
Treasury Department. The money in
circulation is more than double to-day
what it was in April, 1879, and the lat
est report Of the Comptroller of the
Currency shows larger sums on deposit
in the national banks than ever before
in the history of the country. Official
reports of the Government also prove
the deposits in savings banks to be in
amount greater than at any previous
time. The fact that Government bonds
drawing a low rate of interest are sell
ing far above their face value, even
though redeemable within a compare
tive short term, demonstrates the desire
Of citizens to invest their money in
Government securities.
