HOW DEMOCRATIC
PROPHECIES FAILED.
United States Now Has Greatest
Supply of Yellow Metal in
the World.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-"Deposits OF
new gold in the minis amounted TO
nearly S1S,000,000 in the month of July.
No wonder we export some when our
stock increases at that rate. The new
currency law also influences the out
ward movement by the increase which
it has occasioned in bank circulation.
Bank notes secured by government
bonds are substitute for gold in
our circulation, and permit loan Or
investment of so much gold abroad. "
George E. Roberts, director of the
mint, gave out this encouraging state
ment today at Republican national
headquarters, where he visited for sew
eral hours. He expressed himself as
well satisfied with the present financial
system of the country, and predicted
more hopeful things under continued
Republican rule.
There is a remarkable contrast be-
tween the financial situation now and
in August, 1896, continued Mr.. Rob
erts. You could not borrow money
then, even on real estate Gold was
practically at a premium. 1t was part
Of the Bryan argument that gold was
not part of our available monetary
stock; that We couldn't keep it in this
country except by borrowing it over
and over from London.
Il heard Senator Allen of Nebraska
say in speech in 1896 that if McKin
ley were elected there would be another
bond issue within sixty days to replen-
ish the treasury, and that bond issues
would be necessary at short intervals
if the. gold standard was to be main
tanned. But instead of our being oblig-
ed TO borrow gold in England, that
country is borrowing it of US. The
bonds and exchequer notes of the Eng
lish government are sent here to obtain
it The Russian government has plac-
ed one loan in this country within a
year, and had an agent here recently TO
see about another. The bonds of the
imperial government and of several OF
the municipalities of Germany are on
sale here now. The United States has
become a world power financially as
well as politically in the last four
years. Its treasury, instead of being
the subject of solicitude, has the great
est gold stock in the world today.
These are some Of the contrasts Of
four years ago.

CORN.

The favorable weather for carrying
forward farm work was fully utilized
in preparing for and planting corn, so
that instead OF the crop being late, as
was forecasted last month, it is fully
up to the average in date of planting
and in many counties is far in advance
of the usual planting season. The ex-
cellent condition Of the soil is also a
matter generally noted by correspon-
dents. The crop, therefore, has this
prime essential to a good production
to start with. Some early corn is up
with a good stand, but serious injury
is threatened by cut worms, which
are present in great numbers. The

Smoking Stunts the Growth OF
Boys.

"Whatever difference of opinion
there may be upon the advissbiiity OF
smoking for men, there is none as to
its pernicious effect upon boys. 1t af-
fects the action of the heart and re-
duces the capacity of the lungs Young
men who are being trained for ath-
letics are not permitted to smoke by
their trainers because, as they say, at

that will appeal most forcibly to your
boy is that smoking will stunt his
growth. 1t has been proved that
youthful smokers are shorter and
weigh less than their comrades who
do not smoke. Cigarettes are partic-
ularly injurious. Nicotine, the active
principle of tobacco, is said by chem
lists to be, next to prussic acid, the
most rapidly fatal poison known. The

WHEAT.

The condition of wheat in the prin
cipsl winter wheat producing States
may be summed up as follows:
In Ohio, Michigan and Indiana the
crop is practically a failure. Many OF
the counties of those States will fail
to produce as many bushels as were
sowD last fall. Winter wheat in Wis
consin is in much the same condition
as in the three states named. In Illi-
nois the prospect is for less than all

prospect for crop, as have the states ri

WHEAT IN KENTUCKY.

The average condition of the wheat
crop of the State, May 1st, compared
with normal years, is 100, which is
four points above the April average
and twelve points above the average
for the past four years.
The three sections of the State sep
arately show the average condition as
follows: Western, 10l; Central, 81 ;
Southeastern, 102. 1t must not be
supposed from the foregoing that the
crop, generally speaking, presents a
less favorable prospect in the central
than in the other sections. The low
err average is due to the poor prospect
in the counties of Boone, Gsllatin and
Kenton, of which mention was made
in the April report. Little improve
ment has occurred in these counties
as a whole, though there are some
fine fields to be seen. Ia Campbell
county though, where the condition
was 81 on April lst, the crop has i'm
proved until the condition is now nor
NAL.
A large number Of correspondents
report the crop the finest ever known
at this season. The growth is so rank
that there is some apprehension that
the crop will lodge before it can be
harvested. In some fields it is thin
on ground, but as rule 1t has "tilled"
well during the month and the stand
is good. Answers to question, "what
per cent Of average will be ploughed
up" show that there will be prscti-
cslly no loss Of acreage in this way.
