In an address on "Error and Truth
About Banking and Finance" A. b.
Farquhar laid bare the principles on
which solution Of the financial prob
lem must be solved, and added: 1.-THE
interests OF all class of citizens call for
the same definiteness and stability in
measuring value that we have in meas
uring length, weight and capacity.
The laborer Is more deeply interested
in these principles, If he could but
know it, than the capitalist. If con.
tract can be discharged in a different
value standard from that recognized
when 1t was made, the gain is general
ly reserved for the man who Is stronger
in shrewdness, knowledge and re-
sources, while the loss is thrown on
HIM who is weaker. Whenever there
are at the same time better
aud poorer dollar, certain and q
doubtful dollar, the worse always falls
to the poor man; an abundance of cur
rency In the peoples hands cannot re-
compense him-could not, even il the
abundance were true instead of fic-
titious-for impaired quality of that in
his own"

CIRCULATION PER CAPITA.

There Is more money in circulation
per capita in the United States today
than ever before in the history of the
country. July / the circulation per
capita stood at $3.50. This is an in
crease of $l.5O for every man, woman
and child in the country since July 1,
1899. The total money in circulation
the lst of July was 5000, OOO, 900, and
during the. year, for the first time, the
two billion dollar mark was reached
and passed. In four years there has
been an increase 1856, 900, 900, represent
ing per capita increase Of $40. 1t
will thus be seen that the increase of
money In circulation has kept pace
with the expanding industries aud
commerce Of the country. The most
gratifying part Of the gain which has
been made lies in the fact that the
greater part of the increase has been in
gold, $436. 00O, 900 having been added to
the gold stock of the United States
since July l, 1895. OF the 81 ,036, OO0, 600
of gold now in the United States, more
than $Sl5, 200. 900 is in circulation; that
is, held by the, banks and among the
people.

In spite of the falling prices of iron
and some other important commodi-
ties, and the fears expressed in some
quarters that business conditions are
taking turn for the worse, statistics
collected by Bradstreet's show that
business failures for the first half of
this year make the smallest showing
that has appeared since 1882. Says
Bradstreet's: despite the quieting
down OF general business there has
been little appreciable increase in bust
ness mortality, and the numbers of
failures reported for the first six
months of the calendar year 1900 is the
smallest noted for eighteen years past.
Compared with year ago the falling
off in number is 3.3 per cent, while
compared with 1898 the decrease is 25
per cent, and even larger decreases are
noted when comparisons are made
with the first half of the years 1857.
This year, in fact, for the first time in
eighteen years, the six months failures
have fallen below 5000 in number"

1T is with genuine regret that THE
ISLANDER calls attention to the COM
munication from County Treasurer Muir
ray, elsewhere published in this issue, in
which he declines to be candidate for
denomination to the office which he
now holds and has filled 40 creditably.
Personal reasons only can have caused
him to reach this decision, for there
was not the least likelihood that there
would have been any opposition what
ever to his denomination, and in fact it
has beenstaken for granted by the Re-
publicans of the county that he would
be renominated by reclamation and re-
elected by large majority. Some of
his more intimate friends say that the
decision of the county commissioners
not to allow the treasurer to give a
surety bond has had much to do with
Mr.. Murray's decision not to again ac-
cept the Office, for he is very strongly
disinclined to ask his friends to share
the somewhat heavy financial respon.
sibility that the law and the present
prosperous condition of the county inn
pose upon the treasurer. However that
may be, his many friends sincerely re-
greet his decision and he will have their
best wishes for his success in whatever
enterprise or effort he may engage.

THE ACCIDENT OF AN EMOTION.

One of the best summings-up o.
Bryan appeared in the New York SUM-
This Is it:
"The Bryan of 1896 was the accident
of an emotion. young orator of scarce
" more than the required presidential
age whose winning manners and mel
odious voice charmed convention
that had already made up its mind to
revolutionize Democracy and the coun'
try. The convention heard him speak,
and forthwith nominated him for presi.
dent.
"The Democratic candidate nomin.
ated yesterday bears the same name
and wears the same physical frame and
form, and entertains the same political
ideas and purposes which the candi.
date of 1895 professed; but otherwise
how different!
"The Bryan of 1900 is not the new
toy and pet Of convention and the
experiment of party; he is the abso'
lutte master of the convention and OF
the party. He is the scourge of the
timid and of the time servers. He has
forced together into effective co-opera-

the party again as it did four years ago.
The foremost issue Is unchanged. The
great change will be in the personal
estimate of Bryan's strength and seri.
business of purpose and stability Of
mind. He has fairly won the respect
of his opponents, so far as it can be
commanded by sincerity, persistency
and courage in vicious cause.
"And this makes Bryan's candidacy
even a greater menace than before to

AtLeast 500 Dead.

Salt Lake, Utah, May 4--The re
ports from Scofield, Utah, say that it
is now known that $50 are dead from
the explosion and that the estimate of
loss will increase rather than decrease
on further developments The super
intendent of the mine says there is no
record of the number of men that went
into the mine from day to day and
that the exact loss cannot be known
until all the bodies are taken out The
estimate Is that there were $50 men in
the mine and on that basis that there
must have been at least 300 lives lost
