THE TREATY RATIFIED.
Delay Caused by ObstructionistS
Prccipitates Bioodshed I'm
the Philippines.

The treaty of peace which was rati-
fed by the senate was received by that
body from the president January 5, up
on the reassembling of congress after
the holidays. That is, the treaty was in
the hands of the senate full month
before a vote was. reached. 1t is said
that if vote had been taken at once
the treaty would have been ratified by
a decided vote. senators generally con-
cedng that ratification was the only
thing to be done. The so-called anti
imperial movement has failed to meet
any response from the people. unfor-
tunately, Col. Bryan, just from the
wars. assumed the role of sole adviser
to the democratic party, including DEM
ocratic senators. He VISITED Washing
ton and publicly advised democratic
senators to vote for the treaty while
opposfng annexation. Senator, and soon
to be ex-senator German, as it is re-
ported. took otfense at the interference
of Col. Bryan, and, TO show his power,
inaugurated movement hostile to the
advice of Col. Bryan, to defeat the
treaty. Thereupon the opposition
sprung up. Democratic senators, as
body. were arrayed against The treaty
under the adroit manipulation OF Mr.
German. At first he German men
wished to amend tie treaty. Then they
concluded they could defeat it as plain
issue, and after many delays agreed to
have the vote taken on February 6.
Looking at the result at the present
time, there is reason to believe that il
the vote had been taken any day with
in a week previous to February ratiti-
cation would have been defeated.
Aguinaldo's attack at Manila probably
gave the treaty three votes, if not more
Thus did "the Washington of the Phil

There is reason to believe that moth

treaty a sort of party measure, prevent
ed ratification as early as the middle OF
January. Had the treaty been ratified
two weeks after it was sent to the sen
ate Aguinaldo would not have made
the attack upon the United States army
at Manila. 1t now appears, and prob
ably ample evidence will be forthcOmr

by AgonciIlo, because the ratification

PROGRAMME OF REPUBLICANS
Prospect Of Legislation on the Money
Question Is Somewhat
Uncertain.

The republican members of the pres
ent house of representatives, major
ity of whom will serve in the next
house. have agreed, with a fair APP
proach to unanimity, on the first step
to be taken towards the settlement of
the monetary question. 1t is admitted
generally that nothing can be done at
this session, owing to the make mp of
the senate. Therefore the question
must 90 over to the next congress. As
there is only the remotest possibility
of an extra session. that means post
ponement until December.
Consequently it has been decided to
appoint a committee Of II members Of
the present house, who are members
elect of the Forty-siXth congress, to
consider monetary legislation and
agree on measure to be submitted to
the republican caucus of the next
house. Should the republican senators
appoint q similar committee, it is as
sumed that the two committees will
confer together and agree on common
plan. Whatever measure republicans
DO unite in supporting can be put into
a law by the next congress, both

FOR BRYAN TO STUDY.
The Increasing supply of Gold Makes
the SiIyeritc Arguments
Fall Flat.

Mr.. Bryan will find a hard nut to
crack in an article on The Increasing
Supply of Gold" which George T.. Rob
erts. director of the mint, has written
for the Forum. Assuming the quanti>
tative theory of money to be true, as
the silverites argue they are now fair
~ beaten by their own arguments.
When the horrible ''crime of '73' was
consummated the gold output Of the
world amounted to 500, 200. 900, and that
of silver. reckoning il at the ratio of
sixteen to one. was only $S1000,00o
which gives total of Sis. 100000. In
1896 the output of gold alone was $2o2,-
9jG, 600 and the silver output increased
the total to $31S, ,jS7,S SIG. This is eN-
elusive of the metal that was consumed
in industry and the arts. and is the
record for the very year in which Mr..
Bryan was making his disastrous cam
paign.
The significance of the figures is all
the greater when we consider the
progressive increase in the annual pro-
duction of gold, which is indicated in
the following table:
lS.Ft NiN, Ni4 lNl
1891 ......... 1860, ,00C 1895. ....... ls93gi'ly
1892 .... 1i6 Col, 800 1896. ......... 2o2956,0to
lSg3....... l57 49i, 500 lSS7 2SIJu4,SUO
Such are the improved methods Of
mining and treatment that it may be
said of most gold fields. as Mr.. Roberts
saws of those of the Transvaal, that
the figures suggest the steady growth
of manufacturing industry rather
than the record Of one usually regarded
as extremely uncertain i'll results.
The exhaustion of placer deposits
counts for little when capital is invited
to the working Of quartz ledges of al
most limitleSs extent and when even
low-grade ore is paying investment
because of increased facilities for TAX
ing it out and of the improved and
economical process of reduction.
For 1895 there is a gain of more than
$2O,OOO0OO in South Africa, of about
$4,000 600 in Australasia, of $7,0OO.0O0
in the United States and of 100000 900
in the remainder of North America.
The product for 1898 was over $780,
100000. and the Indications are that the
gains for 1899 will be still greater.
These gains. it should be noted, do
not merely reinforce depleted stock,
nor are they Offset by industrial con-
sumption. During the years from 1892
to 1897 there was a netincrease in the
worlds gold coin and bullion of S6S2,-
52,1s9, and during the same period the
industrial consumption amounted to
$279. 1856.
So far from true is it that the money
supply of the world has been prac-
tically cut in two by the general estab-
lfshment of a single gold standard that
the supply of gold is now more than suf-
ficient to do the work that was once re-
quired of both gold and silver. Under
the quantitative theory there could be
no call upon silver except as sub
sidiary coin.--Chicago Times-IIerald.
