Major General Otis has written from
the Philippines to Adjutant General
Corbin that our Western volunteers
are the best fighters in the world, but
the hardest to control on the firing
line" He goes on to explain that he
means they cannot accustom them
selves to remain under cover when
there is any opportunity to charge the
enemy and drive him from his posi-
ton. No doubt this is something of A
fault, but ii is one that their country
men will look upon with great patience
and charity. The fighting man who
has to be restrained instead of driven
is not the common possession of every
nation. He may conflict with certain
military requirements at times but
when trenches are to be assaulted,
redoubts stormed, and an enemy to be
chased over rivers and through jungles
he is very handy fellow to have at
hand. The Western volunteer has
glorified American valor, and the
whole world admires his heroism, his
nerve and his endurance. Wouldn't
Gar Nicholas or Emperor William
give a fabulous fortune to possess an
army made up Of such men,

1t is not a pleasant experience to be
overcome by the heat, but it is rarely
fatal. The surgeon general gives out
the good news that very few deaths
have resulted from this cause in the
Philippines, though scores and hun
dreds of soldiers have been compelled
by the intense heat to drop out Of the
ranks during the recent campaigns one
days rest and care has in almost ev-
cry instance brought them around all
right. This is gratifying news to those
who have friends fighting under the
old flag in those distant islands. The
heat in the Philippines is intense and
when to this is added the smoke and
excitement of battle it is to be expected
that many strong men should become
exhausted.

Uncle Sims Golden AGE.

This is the golden age of the United
States. Not only is it the golden aS'
of commercial and industrial pros
perity: not only the golden age OF
in all that embellishes civilization, but
il is literally the age of gold. There Is
more of the precious yellow metal III
this country in the form of coin and
bullion than any country on the globe
can boast of. Not even Russia, hoard
ing vast amounts in its war chests ana
its vaults, has as much gold as the
United States. According to the re-
port of George F. Roberts, director OF
the mints, issued June !, the gold coin
in the United States on that date
amounted to $500, ,252. while the
bullion in the national treasures ag-
gregated S121. 742, 353. This makes a
total of 1886, 4S3, 504, and Mr.. Roberts
says there was undoubtedly enough
bullion in private banks to bring the
grand aggregate above $1,000 ,oOO.
Compare this with the stock of $3.50,
600. 600 in 1873. $352, 900, 900 in 1850, $685.
600. 900 in 1890. $685., 900 900 in 1893, ana
$685., 900, 900 June 20 1897.
1t was only a few years ago-under
the last Democratic administration
that a bond issue was necessary to re-
plenish the gold reserve. Even the
country. as well as its workingmen
was poor at that time. 1t was the
soup house era for Uncle Sam as well
as for the multitudes thrown out Of
work. What change has taken
place. The restored confidence given
the country by the election of a sound
money. protection administration
quickly resulted in an improved finan-
cial situation. and now instead of issu-
ing bonds to keep up its gold reserve
Of 500. 900. 900 the United States has to-
day thousand millions Of gold on
hand
1t is one of the wonderful facts Of
financial history that this country in
creased its stock Of gold during the
year Of 1895 by the sum Of 500, 900. 600
without raising cent Of it on bonds.
To be sure $2O0,O00.O 900 of war bonds
were sold but they We're bought by
the American people and little or no
gold was used in the transaction. This
issue had not the slightest effect upon
our general stock of gold This gain
of $202 900 900 in a single year meant an
increase of p per cent. and the whole
of this vast sum comes in the course
Of exchange and trade balances from
the products Of our soil and our labor.
No longer does that famous Lombard
street in London dominate the money
of the world. England has lost her
prestige as the great financial heart Of
the nations. ana even at this time her
statesmen are looking toward this
country's vaults Of gold to help them
tide over a possible financial crisis. So
much has the Republican administra-
ton Of William Mckinley done for the
country. Would our Democratic
friends desire to change all this, and
bring about even worse conditions
than existed a few years ago under

The Ship Building Revival.


There are no buster places in all this
busv land than the ship yards Inc
GOOD old times of the ship building IN
dustry are back again in every yaru
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts ana
on the lakes. Some people will tell you
that this remarkable activity is due 10
The war with Spain which took so
MANY fine ships from the merchant
marines and to the great storms last
fall which destroyed so much OF the
coastvise shipping. These are factors
TO be sure. but there is another ana
greater factor. This ship building re-
vival would have come just the same,
had there been no war with Spain and
no great November gales. 1t is a part
of the good times promised by the
Republican party when it returned to
power. 1t is one feature of the unprec-
edented prosperity which Republican
rule has brought to the United States.
The ship building revival is the direct
result Of the increased demand for
American products. and the increasing
trade Of this country with all parts of
the world.
The blue book of American shipping
saws that there are now building in
our ship yards for the United States
and foreign countries more than 80
war vessels, valued at $40,OOOO00, eX
elusive of armor ana armament, and
more than 200 merchant vessels of
large size. valued at $50, 900 600. Every
ship yard in the country is busy. More
than Sc. 0OO. 600 will be invested in new
shin yards on the Atlantic coast and in
improvements to those already estab-
lished. The yards on the Pacific coast
will build as many vessels this year as
in any three years heretofore, and the
ship builders on the lakes have vessels
under way valued at 100000 The
yards of New England are busy build
= u
and scores Of steam yachts for pleas
ure are under construction. Along the
coast Of Maine we find the yards all
busy. At Bath it is hard to keep run
Of the launchings. SO frequent are they
becoming, and as soon as one craft
glides into the water another takes its
place upon the stocks. The good times
we have 50 often heard about have re-
turned and the ancient glory Of Ameri-
can shipping is to be revived in re-
doubled splendor
Ii is remarked that one tendency in
marine architecture at present is to-
ward greater carrying capacity ana
less speed than was formerly sought.
Thus the new ocean liners being CON
structed will not be SO fast as the
greyhounds that have in recent years
competed with each other for record
runs across the Atlantic. Instead Of
the time of passage being reduced, as
the general public has expected. it is
likely to be made longer. if il is true
that slower vessels pay better than
those which make the run across the
Atlantic in six days or less. 1t is said
that eight-day vessels pay best. con-
Stunning less coal and requiring less
room for machinery and coal. and hay

ana passenger capacity. The new
ocean steamers will probably to larger
