W. G. Whitney Wants the Admiral to
Be Candidate Says o. II. P.
Belmont

Chicago, July 21.-Oliver H. P. Bel
mont, the brother of Perry Belmont
and the grandson of Commodore Perry,
banker, society leader and amateur
politician, is at the Annex. He is here,
as he stated, Ito confer with his brother
Democrats and talk it over with them. J"
Mr. Belmont was asked if William C.
Whitney's sudden late departure for
Europe was in the nature of a mission.
He said he understood Mr.. Whitney
meant to see Admiral Dewey and per-
suade the seaman to let his name be
presented to the national convention
as a candidate for the nomination.
Not that 1 believe that Mr.. Whitney
will succeed in his object" continued
Mr.. Belmont. 4 do not think the ad-
miral would consent to become a can
didate.'
DO you think, Mr.. Belmont, that if
the admiral were brought to consent
he could beat Mr.. Bryan in the con-
ventiOn? Could he stampede the con-
ventiOn?'
do not think he could. Mr.. Bryan, so
far as I can fathOm, seems the well
nigh unanimous choice of the whole
party. Assuredly he is the natural and
logical candidate, and today at least
he is inVincible."
rs it because of his silver views that
Mr.. Bryan is so strOng?"
Mr.. Bryan" declared Mr.. Belmont,
was three years ago. The rank and file
of the Democracy in New York are
enthusiastically for him. They are for
him not because he is the foremost
champion of 16 to 1, but because his
honesty, his courage, his undoubted
sincerity have impressed themselves
upon the popular mind. The people be-
lieve in his character and his fearless
ness"
"sWould Tammany Hall support Mr..
Bryan next year upon platform con-
tanning the planks of the Chicago plat
form?"
yes" answered Mr.. Belmont. 1acon-
ically.
Is there any movement in the east
looking to former Senator German as
a substitute candidate, Mr.. Belmont?' %
Senator German is a Democrat we
in the east all honor, and we could not
look unfavorably upon a movement
which would make man so acceptable
to all shades of opinion our presidential
candidate. But I do not think such a
movement has the elements of success
in it. The Democracy is resolved upon
Mr.. Bryan. No there is no alliance be-
tween New York Democrats and south
ern representative men to thwart the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan and sidetrack
silver by uniting on German"

PRAISES KANSAS.
Editor w. A. White Tells Chicago
People About Corn and Politics.

Chicago, July 21.-The Times-Herald
says:
William Allen White, editor of the
EmpOria CKan.) Gazette was in town
yesterday, the guest of c. L. Williams
Of the Show Window. Mr. White is
interested in a street fair in Emporia
and is in Chicago looking up attrac-
tions for a Midway. Mr.. White was
asked about Kansas as it is today and
in reply he said:
This is a nine year in Kansas. and
by tradition and precedent it should be
a year of wonderful crops. The years
'89, 70, SO and SO were seasons of phe-
nOmenally large yield, and further than
that the memory of man runneth not.
Strangely enough the prospects for
crops in Kansas this year are partic-
uIarly bright. Although the wheat did
not turn out especially well, there is
large acreage of corn and much tame
grass. The wild grass which makes
most of the hay in Kansas has yielded
splendidly. Only one thing can destroy
the corn now, and that is an earth
quake, and the earthquake is not in
digenOus to the Kansas soil. 1t is very
likely that the Kansas corn crop Of
1889, which sent corn down to 10 cents
on the Kansas farms, win be repeated
This will not be an unmixed blessing
for unfortunately the stock of cattle
and hogs In the west that is, the feed
erS, mas run down and the farmer will
be confronted with low corn and high
cattle, and then there viii be the com
plant that the plutocrats are holding
up the price of cattle until they squeeze
all the corn out of the farmers bins
I'm 1889 the big corn crop and the
low price for it had much to do with
the overturning in 1890 of the SO, 900 Re
publican minority cast in '8S; and the
defeat of ingalls, was due more to
felicitOus atmospheric conditions than
we would like to admit, who see in the
fall of ingalls, the rebuke of pessinism
n 10 Of
seems to be looming in threatening pro-
portions upon the horizon, may make
much history and settle or .unsettle
principalitieS and powers.
still there is no serious reason why
one should take a gloomy view of the
situation in Kansas. The people are
prosperous. They have paid all their
debts and are now investing their mon
ey. The prevalent rate of interest in
Kansas for farm loans is 81 and per
cent, , per cent lower than it was be
fore Mckinley was elected. The banks
are full of money, the money of the
professional man. Kansas is the home
of the money power The Great Red
Dragon Of PlutOcracy which Kansas
used to fight is now transformed into
an "Oiled and curled ASSyrian bull -
which We pamper to his hearts desire
It will be a difficult task to talk free

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Our Stock of Gold is Over so Per Cent
of the Circulation

Ocean City, Nd, July 21.-SpeaEfng
before the Maryland Bankers associa-
ton today Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer
of the United States, said: 'tSince July
1. 1898, the gold in circulation has grown
by $62, 100 SIS and the net amount in the
treasury then $189, 444, ia, has become
about $246, 600, O0O-the highest figures in
our annals Such an increase in the
yellow metal available for currency,
with the demand for additional circula-
ton, gives vital form to the question,
why not add to the use of gold coin?
Under existing laws the volume of
United States notes is definitely re-
stricted while silver certificates cannot
exceed the standard silver dollars in the
treasury. nor the treasury notes run
beyond the bullion held against them.
The national banks while adding to
their circulation SIS, 451. 1874 from July l,
$685. to June, 1899, are now quite stead
lily drawing in their notes. Without new
legislation the only way to increase the
CURRENCY is by the use of gold coin.
Gold last year went into our circulation
at the rate of more than $5000,0O0
month and during June, last the growth
was $14,063 521.
obviously the question for bankers
about gold coin is not-can you get it :?
But will you use it? The figures show
that an affirmative answer has been
rendered in considerable degree, with
some protest doubtless and more or less
under the stress of necessity The con-
cession is to be made that in this part
of the country prejudice exists against
the actual handling of gold coin be-
cause of it's abrasion, because Of the
danger of installing it for silver or like
size and in large sums because Of it's
weight. But our fellow citizens on the
Pacific coast prefer gold coin to paper
and bank tellers there insist that the
former is more convenient in daily
transactions. Those who travel in Eu-
rope testify also that the British souv-
ereign, the French Napoleon and the
German double crown are in constant
circulation in all countries.
THE stock of gold in the United
States exceeds that in any country in
the world and is estimated to be 1915,
asa, 900 and is 5O.03 per cent of all our
circulation and s12.81 per capita of our
population
France, with the next largest stock,
$50, 500, 900, exceeds us in its per capita
S21.O6. The ratio in Great Britain of
gold to all currency is 652 per cent in
Germany 6596 and in France 1882. The
per capita in Great Britain is S1101 and
in Germany $12.78,
1--WE cannot doubt that congress will
at its next session put the nation clear
ly, definitely and permanently on gold
basis. Does not that mean more than
that gold shall be our money of ac-
count? 1t must purpOrt that all forms
of currency shall be exchanged BILE into
that of the legal standard"
