. Two Billions of Money

There has been gain of about five
hundred million dollars in the amount
of money in circulation in the United
States lin the past two years of restored
projection and prosperity. The figures
of this gigantic increase of material
wealth 1and of money in the hands of
the people have suggestiveness that is
startling. They show what the country
escaped when in 1896 il chose between
William Mckinley and William j.
Bryan. They are also peculiarly sug.
festive in connection with the presiden-
tial contest of next year.
One more financial month like No.
vember will bring the total of money in
Circulation in the United States past the
two billion dollar line. On November
1.-THE total money in circulation was
41,963, 49, 14S, and on December l. 81, :
985, $50, 964, an increase of S22 ,214, $40 in
the month. A gain of even two-thirds
this amount in the present month would
bring the atotal money in circulation in
the Uniteds States past the two billion
dollar line for the first time in our his
tory.
The steady and rapid growth in the
circulation of money in the United
States, both gold and total of all kinds
of money, is indicated in compilation

from sSl6, 266. 721 to 1885, $50, 1884, with
the prospect, as already indicated, that
the two. billion dollar line will shortly
be crossed. While the general growth
in that time has been remarkable, that
of the past three years is especially
marked. On July 1, 1895, the total
money in circulation in the United
States was 81, 500, 72S. 200, and on De

Soldiers and Congressman Meet.

Quackenbush Post held one of its reg.
ular open meetings Wednesday evening
in the G. A. r. hall in this city and list
ened to brief speeches by several friends
of the post. The severity of the wealth
er prevented the attendance from being
as large as usual but there was still a
good number out
During the evening, short speeches
were made by Rev. @. H. Hanks, Judge
S. F. Smith, J.W. Turner and Congress
man Joseph w. Fordney. The latter
gave some interesting information
relative to the number of pension claims
now before the department, and while he
did not attempt to say that there might
not be cases where the action of the de-
partment was open to criticism, did say
that thousands Of claims were pigeon
holed because the claimants in making
them out had neglected to fill out the
blanks according to instructions. Mr..
Fordney told the old soldiers little of
the large amount of time and effort he
is giving to their claims personally and
the way in which he looked upon the
work-as at lest but small effort on
his part to repay them for what they
have done for ALL The members of the
post were well pleased with the position
taken by Congressman Fordney and
some warm words were spoken in COM
mendatlon of what he has already done
for them since he has been in Off ce.
After the program was over the mem
bers of the post spent quarter of an
hour Informally shaking hands with the
congressman and discussing matters in
connection with pension claims and the
cannon which the post is to have for
Owosso as soon as arrangements are
made for shipping two or three at the
same time to save freight.

The islands lie in an almost direct line
between San Francisco and Australia,
and slightly south of the direct
steamship line connecting the
philippines with the proposed

their position as coaling and repair
stations on these great highways of
commerce rather than in their direct
commercial value, their population
being small and their imports und ex-
ports of comparatively little impor-
tance
The group consists of ten inhabited
and two uninhabited islands with an
area of /, 200 square miles and an ap-
gregatc population, according to latest
estimates, of $4,000 people, of which
something over 200 are British subjects.

wounded and one of the Pennsvlva-

The Americans finally drove the Fill

three lines of strong intrenchments
along the track the enemy made scarce
y any defense there. Gen. Macarthur
and his staff were walking on the track
abreast of the line with everything
quiet when suddenly they
received shower of bul-
lets from sharpshooters in
trees and on house tops but these
were speedily dislodged. The cnemy's
loss was apparently small, the jungle
affording them such protection that
the Americans were unable to see
them and in firing were guided only
by the sound of the Filipino shots.
The American artillery was handicap
