aIcKinIey on PhillpnIne Policy.

Let the critics and the opponents of
President Mckinley. and those who are
seeking excuses to charge him with no
definite purpose in the Philippines,
carefully keep in mind an utterance
by him at Ocean Grove, last Friday. 1t
Is worth repeating and remembering,
and is as follows:
"That flag" said President Mckinley,
docs not mean one thing in the United
States and another in Porto Rico and
the Philippines. There has been doubt
in some quarters respecting the policy
Of the government in the Philippines.

Grant G.. Gillett, who left Abilene, Kan.
early in November with liabilities Of $500,

He says that Gillett has over 800, 900 with
him in Mexico. Hunt has formed a part

765 feet long and 662 feet wide. The
main building is of granite and dark buff
notified brick and faces the square formed

GREAT GAIN IN GOLD.
America Acquiring Large Part
of Worlds Supply.

Worlds Clearing House of the Future
May BE on the Western shore of the
Atlantic.
The United States is acquiring IS per
cent OF the entire worlds production of
gold. During the last 30 months, or since
the first of July, 1896, the total stock of
gold in actual circulation in the United
States, according to the estimates of the
director of the mint, has increased $685.
DOC, 900, making total of approximately
$3.50, 100000. Director Roberts estimates
the stock of gold at the beginning of the
present month at 1925, 100000. Imports
and additions from American and Canadk-
an mines, including the Klondlke, will in
crease the total to 1850, 900, 600 by the end
OF the calendar year, as against 1857, 49,
600 on the first Of July, 1896, an increase
OF IS per cent in two and half years.
On the first of January of the present
year the total gold stock in this country
was S745, 245,OOO 1t will be seen there
fore that the gain during the IL months
will be close to 5000, 100000, which is
within about $4,000, 900 of the worlds
output for the calendar year 1897. The
production for 1898 will be $50, 900, 900,
according to the estimate of experts.
From Jan. /, 1898, down TO Nov. 80 last,
our excess of imports of gold over exports.
was $l34 All 900. The December record
will increase this total to about $l45, O00,-
600. But for the fact that our European
customers have. taken TO asking longer
credits of American exporters and in many
cases actually borrowing money in order
TO stave off the payment of trade balances,
the volume of gold from the other side
would have been much larger.
The foregoing exhibit may properly be
considered as almost sensational. 1t dem
onstrates that this country is changing
from position of debtor nation to that
OF creditor nation. 1t indicates that the
United States is to become in the 20,h
century what England has been in the 10Th
he chief commercial, manufacturing
and trading nation of the world, with the
worlds clearinghouse situated on the
western shores of the Atlantic instead Of
on the eastern.
While our stock of gold has increased at
this unparalleled rate in the past 30 months,
silver has been no laggard in the race
The store of white metal in this country
has increased since July /, 1896, from
zoo, 76l 900 to $63S, 200, 900, a gain of
ISL, 439, 900. Much of the silver produced
in the United States finds a market in
London and China. incidentally 1t may
be stated that the per capita circulation Of
the United States is greater than 1t has
ever been in the history of the country.
On Dec. last it was $500. The total
amount in circulation was $l,SS6, $40, 600.
The population of the country was esti-
mated by the treasurer at 10, l94, 600. The
circulation has increased $l65, 600, 900 since
Jan. last. The statement that will be
given out by the treasury department on
the first Of the coming month will show a
still further increase in the circulation both
total and per capita.
