BANK PROFITS.
Under Monetary BiII-Why the Coun-
try Demand for the Bonds
Is So Strenuous.

Why government bond prices have
advanced sharply recently is ex-
planned by the showing made in a
circular addressed to the national
banks by Harvey Fisk & Sons, of New
York. This circular says regarding
the pending currency bill:
among it's other attractive fea-
lures the bill provides for the issue of
two per cent. 3O-year gold bonds, the
reduction of one-half per cent. per
annum in the tax on circulation
where secured by these bonds, the issue
of notes to the full face value of the
bonds deposited and the right to in
crease circulation at any time, by the
repeal of the restriction which has
heretofore prevented its increase un-
til the expiration of six months from
the last decrease in circulation.
MANY banks have already in
creased their holdings of the old is
the new two per cents. and while
there has been a material advance in
the prices of all government bonds
during the last few days, they are
still obtainable at prices making the
new twos very attractive as basis
for circulation. AT present prices
every dollar invested in circulation
will realize over 20 per cent. per an
mum. In no other way can such rates
of interest, absolutely free from risk,
be secured; and it behooves the banks
to act promptly in order to secure
the full advantages of the transac-
ton"
The circular goes on to explain that
an investment of $106,O00 in 100000
of the bonds is really an Investment
of $4,000 only, since 100000 of cir
culation can be taken out against the
bonds. The 20 per cent. profit is on
the $4,000. With the outstanding
three per cent. bonds at 111.98, the
fours of 1907 at 1880, eX-April inter
est, and the fives at 1868 the cost Of
the twos will be 1O6. At 1O6 the
profit on circulation would be 21-55
per cent a year with money at four

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town 90
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. w.
Creamer, one of the municipalitv's
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Creamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on a por-
tion of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 acres.
In common with many others of a
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market IA
cilities. In no wise daunted, by en-
ergy, industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success, and is known through
out the district as one of its preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections (the
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy); 500 acres
of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off a crop of
500 acres of wheat and 200 of other
grains. Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Creamer is, as has been
stated, mixed farmer of no mean
proportions, having at the present
time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and
80 pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being a barn 55
feet square on stone foundation
containing stabling for 16 horses and
a large number of cattle. The loft
is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also a cutting box Another building
of large dimensions is the granary, in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building There are a
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house, pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is a hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions, in connection with it is a
wood shed. The water supply is un-
eXcelled; besides house supply there
is a well in the stables and never
failing spring situate in bluff, which
never freezes. Surrounded by a thick
bluff of poplars, extending in semi
circle to the west, north and east,
the winter storms are broken and ac-
cumulation of snow unknown. Added
to his farming operations, Mr.. Cream
er conducts threshing outfit for the
season. His success is only one in
stance of what can be accomplished
in Western Canada -Baldur (Man.)
Gazette, Nov. 10th, 1899,

An ExODaDIn

A French king once said to the busi-
ness men and farmers of the kingdom
in reply to their demand for certain
political reforms: ~..s.
You people attend to making hy-
ing and paying your taxes. Leave the
work of governing the country to the
king and the nobility. They know how
to do it, and you know nothing about
it,
Not so many years later the people
rose up, and killed the king and many
of the mobiles, and governed the coun-
try to suit themselves. When we are
told that we should leave the govern
ing Of the country to men like Hanna,
Hay, Gage and others Of their kind, we
are reminded that the American people
are not as patient as the French used
to be, and may become mischievous on
shorter notice.-Illinois State Register.

A HISTORICAL REVIEW.
Influence That Money Has Had Upon
the Public Welfare frOm Time
hmm en- ori3l.

"The monetary systems of the pres
ent day are an historical devel-
Opnlesst,' says Alexander Del Mar, in
his new work on the History Of
Money in America from the Earliest
Times to the Establishment of the
Constitutions" they descend from the
principles enunciated in the great
mixed moneys case of 1904; the cir
scUmstances connected with the Span
-ish conquest of America; the Spanish
free coinage act of 16OS; the British
free coinage act of 1866, and the in
-vention OF the coinage and printing
presses. 1t would, therefore, seem
necessary that writer's on the sub
ject should possess some familiarity
with these topics. But though the
author of the present work has con-
suited many treatises relating to
monetary systems he has never yet
met with one which evinced the least
grasp of these various historical ele-
ments. Some of them contain in
formation relative to the details of
monetary issues. These, when care
fully collated, are of value to the
historian, legislator and commenta-
tor. But, for the most part, books ON
money are filed with doctrines, or
worse yet, mere dilutions of doctrines,
without history or experience to sup
port bem-doctrines based on words,
on definitions, on fgments of the
mind, false, worthless. misleading,
misschieyous and hurtful.
THE legal, political and social char
:acter of money; its influence upon the
public welfare; the prominent place
it occupies in the annals of the past;
the countless experiments that have
been made in the fabrication and
emission of its Symbols; the civic
struggles that have centered upon
its control, and the learning that
has been devoted to its principles by
philosophers, legislators and jurists,
surely claim for its historical treat
ment some better preparation than
doctrines. The father of the induc-
tive method was born more than
three centuries ago; yet it is only now
that his method is being applied to
the study of money.

already becoming a burden to it's nom

BRYAN AND EXPANSION.

In an interview the other day Will
liam J. Bryan plainly stated his views
on the question OF expansion. 1t is an
effective reply to those critics, some
even in the Democratic party, who have
based their eritism on what they are
pleased to term Mr.. Bryau's narrow
ness on this great public question. He
said.
II am a firm believer IN the enlarge
ment and extension of the limits of the
republic. do not mean the extension
by the addition of contiguous territory
nor to limit myself to that.
whenever there is a people intel
ligent enough to form part of this
republic, it Is my belief that they
should be taken in.
Whenever there is a people who are
capable of having a voice and a repre-
sentation in this government, there the
limits of the republic may be extended.
"The Filipinos are not such people.
The Democratic party has ever favored
the extension of the limits of this re-
public, but it has never advocated the
acquisition of subject territory to be
held under colonial government.
