Gettine Rio OF Friction.

A novel invention has been exhibited
before a large number of persons by j.
NJ. Aives, Russian civil engineer, In

0The stock of gold in the treasury
is going slowly downward. There are
several reasons. however, why nobody
is alarmed at this condition. The gold
fund is higher than it ever was before
until few months ago. 1t is likely to
start upward again when, few weeks
or months hence, the gold importation
sets in. All the currency in the coun-
try is as good as gold, ard will be kept
so while the republicans remain in
power. These and many Others which
could be cited are the reasons why no
body is paying any attention to the
figures of the treasury gold fund these
days.-St, Louis Globe-Democrat.
