it should have the same outcome; the
fellow should be run out of the coun-

public enemy and so held.
OF course, if such an agent arrives
he will find plenty of agencies of pub

also give no end of comfort to the
copperheads. But as the propositions
this new emissary is to make are based
on recognition of the independence of

the rightful and only rulers in the
Philippines, and as coupled with that
is the sop of a so-called protectorate
by the United States, twill be impos-
sible for the American President to hold
any communication with the insurgent
agent.
Before this Government can hold even
parley with rebels, the arms with which

and irrevocable conditions. No nation
on earth could afford to assume any
other attitude in such case. We are
not at war with a Government. We

The Beers are employing precisely
the tactics they used in the war of
1881, but they are fighting in better or
der and with more of military precision.
They are using mounted rifiemen now
as they did in 81, they are endeavor-
ing to prevent British concentration,
and, apparently, with considerable sue
cess. They are occupying high. rocky
ridges, making their stands there when
driven from the open, and in but one
instance have they been dislodged.
They are smashing the railways and
thus putting the British commissariat
at a great disadvantage, as without the
lines Of rail in hand food supplies
must be carried long distances in wag-
ons over the most unpromising ground
and most difficult mountain roads If
the British succeed in reaching the bor-
der at Laing's Mex Tunnel they will
certainly find 1t destroyed, and their
only route into Transvaal territory in
that section win then be over difficult
and narrow mountain roads-mere mule
paths-along which the Beers viii en-
sconce themselves in the rocky places
and harass any column that attempts
to pass on. 1t is certain that the
Beers will destroy the railways lead
ing into Natal and all lines leading out
of the Orange Free State. The British
advance must be over wagon routes
none Of which are speedy. On the west
side the roads will be blown up as
far down into Cape Colony as the
Burghers dare to advance and thus
there Will be left only a long and diff
cult route, known as the thousand
mile route" from Cape Town, for the
movement of troops, artillery, baggage
and supplies. OF course the British will
rebuild the RAILROADS as they advance
But that at best Is a slow process
While, therefore. English soldiery mus
overcome the Beers in the end. the
promise is for a long and bitterly con.
tested war. The only hope for its beine
brief, is that the Beers will continu,
upon the aggressive so far as to force
the fighting on the English side of the
mountain chains.

THE DOLLAR LIMIT. /"

The Democrats are playing a lively
tune just now in the municipal cam
paign upon the speculation that if they
are inducted into office the tax limit
will be hereafter 81.
That is political clap trap. The
changes have been rung on it in nearly
every city in the Union. There is moth
ing new in it. Every taxpayer knows
that no one can forecast the tax levy
so far in advance It is a matter not
within the control Of the Mayor; it is
dependent upon circumstances no man
can foresee.
The Republican platform pledges its
candidates to a far more sensible and
reasonable tax limit 1t is for the 30
cent or any less tax rate If it is pos
sible and the city business can be run
upon that income. It is for the lowest
possible tax rate attainable. On the
other hand if the absolute need pre-
sents the Republican administration
will not hesitate to make the tax rate
sufficient for the imperative needs OF
the municipality. The Republican
party was the first to declare for a re-
duction Of the tax rate to the lowest
possible figure. 1t was under Re
publican administration that the tax
rate was lowered, and is to-day a third
less than in the last thirty-five years.
This expression of fixed figure is a
mere catch-penny device to deceive
voters. The Democrats know as well as
other people that if the city needs it to
conduct its business the tax rate Iaay
be more than 81. They know that 1t
may be possible to reduce it to 80 cents.
But the Republican party, without
playing the part of demagogy, has de-
clared in favor Of rigid economy, in
favor of the lowest tax rate possible;
in favor at the same time of respond
ing to the necessities of progressive city
government, and Of meeting every oh
legation of the city fearlessly and in a
business like manner
The posting of dead walls with cir
Gus paper that glares at the passer-by
with the inscription, "Vote for the 81
tax limit" is a small device Of the
outs" mere silly trick by which
they hope to become the 'ins." Voters
Of intelligence will not be deceived by
It. Republicans will not descend to the
low level of bidding against it, by post
ing dead walls with legend equally as
silly and more promising, "Vote for
the 80 cent tax limit"
Yet We have every reason to believe
that economies can be practiced, and
Will be under Republican administra-
ton, that will without neglect of any
municipal need reduce the tax rate to
less than 81 at an early date

TEN BILLIONS OF GOLD
Tie Output of the Worlds Mines
Since 1892.
4 Rapid Increase i'm Production I'm
the Present Century and Particu-
pOraFy Loss OF the Precious Metal
Through the south African War.

OF nearly ten billion dollars worth of
gold produced in the world since the dis
covery Of America, more than one-half has
been produced since 1860, and more than
one-fourth since 1885 Or, in other words,
one-half of the gold product of the last
400 years has been produced within forty
years and one-fourth within IS years.
These facts regarding the gold production
of the world are presented by some COM
pilatons of the Treasury Bureau Of Sta
tistics anent the temporary suspension of
gold mining in South Africa and its possible
effect upon the gold supply Of the world
The compilation presents the facts coll
lated by DR.. Adolph Sootbeer and the Di-
rector of the United States Mint, which
show the gold product of the world by dec
ades and years since the discovery of
America, and, when summarized, show that
the grand total of gold production from
1893 to and including the estimate for 1899
amounts to 1888, ,059, 600. casual ex-
animation of the figures of annual produc-
ton shows so plainly the very rapid in
crease during the last half of the closing
century of the term under consideration as
to suggest a detailed examination of the
relative proportion of recent production to
that of earlier periods. This examination
develops the fact that of the 50, S33 059, 600
gold produced since 1893, $5,341, $50, 500, OF
considerably more than one-half, has been
produced since 1860, and $2, $40, ,26O 400, OF
more than one-fourth, since 1885.
The following condensed table shows the
gold product by centuries and fractions OF
centuries from 1893 to 1850, and by decades
from 1860 to the close of 1899, adopting for
the current year an estimate recently made
by the Director of the Mint, but deduct
ing from it the temporary loss likely to re-
suit from the suspension of production ia
the TTansvaal during the closing quarter of
the year. The original estimate of the Di-
rector of the Mint for the year 1893 was
$3.50 GOO GOO, and, deducting s25, 000000 for
the suspension of work in the Transvaai
during the closing quarter OF the year,
would put the 1899 production at $685.

coils of steam pipe in compartments be-

hot water urn became clOgged the urn eX~

was drawing coffee, was deluged with hot
water, and fell to the floor writhing ana
screaming with pain.
Half of the urn. thrown against the wall,
rebounded and shot over the head of Lena

Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vast

but analysis shows them to contain the nat

Regarding the effect of the suspension
of gold production in the Transvaal,
statement has been compiled of the amount
of gold produced from the mines OF that
country and beside it another showing
the amount produced in other parts of the
world, which gives an oportunity 10 deter
mine the probable effect The table shows
that the gold production of the entire world
outside the Transvaal mines is nov double
that of the entire world including the
Transavaal mines a decade ago, and eX-
ceeds that of the entire world in any year
prior to 1897, thus showing the ability of
the mines of other parts of the world to
furnish more than the average additions
to the worlds money supply that have
been made in the immediate past.
The Transvaal gold mines began to pro
duce in 1885, in which year their total
production was $29, ,149. In the other mines
of the world in that year the total pro
duction was S108 406 451. Since 1885 the
Transvaaal mines have increased their
output every year at very rapid rate.
but production in other parts of the world
has also increased rapidly. The output
of the Transvaal in 1898 was SIS, ,213, ,953
and that of the remainder Of the world
$20S214, ,647, making the grand total $751;
