oh. yes; we have floods OF gold, al
though Uncle Russell says the country
banks are not full of cash, and that
gold shipments must come after
awhile again-if not sooner.
THE u. S. TREASURY.
All. there is the u. S. Treasury Just
see what hordes OF money are accumu-
lating there from war taxes, while in
some portions of the country there il
veritable money famine. Uncle Sam
surely can lend Uncle Rothschilds a few
millions. And then Spain will probably
return the twenty millions we paid for
Aguinaldo and the yellow elephant,

old lady the Bank OF England, who

CALLING IN LOANS.
Still these Wall-street plutocrats arc
busy just now i'll calling in their loans

the 5000, 900 600 of Federal Steel and on
the 100000, 600 of American steel and

LARGE BALANCES.
Then. too. the dear old man. like
Uncle Russell, has another card up his
sleeve. There is little invisible dchit
balance against us every year of three
hundred millions lin dercash monish
so that the chances are that he and his
Ali Baba gang have still large balances
to their credit in this country. l never
