MISSISSIPPI BANKS.

Auditor N. @. Cole has favored
The Echo with a tabular state
ment of the conditions of the
State Banks in Mississippi, on
the 30th of June, 1900. There
are l04 banking institutions in
the State. Ninety-three banks
reported separately the kinds of
money on hand, and show, "Gold,
$193;33S.00; Silver, $3.50, ,674. 80"
Eight banks did not separate their
cash on hand. Seventy-eight
banks. reported Dividends paid
last fiscal year, and the average
dividend paid was II. Is per cent.
Twenty-three banks made no
report of dividends. The Han
cock County Bank all through
the table makes u favorable show

ROOSEVELT VS.. ROOSEVELT.

In a speech de ivered at Mime
apolis July II, Governor. Roose.
welt said: "a more wicked absur.
dity than the Kansas City propo.
sition for dealing with the Philip.
pines wns never enunciated by the
representatives of a political par,
, ty."
Here is what the Kansas CITY
platform says:
"We are not opposed to terri
torial expansion which can becre-
ated into States in the Union,
and whose people are willing TO
become American citizens.
"We favor expansion by every
peaceful and legitimate means.
But we are unalterably opposed
to seizing or purchasing of distant
islands to be governed outside of
the constitution, aud whose peo-
pie can never become cItixens. !"
In his volume entitled "Life
Work Of Thomas II. Benton,' :, on
page 235, Governor Roosevelt has
this to say:
"Not only the Columbia, but
also the Red River of the North,
and the Saskatchewan and Frazer
as we'll, should lie wholly within
our limits, less for our own sake
than for the sake of the men who
dwell along their banks. Colum-
bia. Saskatchewan and Manitoba
would, as States of the American
Union, hold positions incompara-
bly, more important, grander and
more dignified than they can ever
hope to reach either as indepen-
dent communities or as provincial
dependencies of a foreign power
that regards them with a kind of
tolerance akin to contemptuous
Indifference. OF course, no one
would wish to see these or any
other settled communities now
added to our domain by force; we
want no unwilling citizens to en-
ter our Union. The time to have
taken the lands was before settlers
came into them. European ma
tions war for the possession of
thickly settled districts, which If
conquered, will for centuries re-
main alien and hostile to the con-
querors. We, wiserin our gener-
alton, have seized the waste soil
tude that lay near us, the limit
less forests and never-ending
plains and valleys of the great,
lonely rivers, and have thrust our
own sons into them to take pos
session, and score of years after
each conquest we see the conquer
ed land teeming with a people
that is one with ourselves"
We thus see Roosevelt the can
didate and Roosevelt the author
in conflict. Inother words, Roose-
velt the candidate condemns the
view Of Roosevelt the author as a
"wicked absurdity."

RICHEST ON THE EARTH
THE RICHEST uF ALL IS THE
OIL TRUST.
Standard Oil Company De-
clares a Dividend of AL
most $4,000, ,000--Profits
$5,479 an Hour.
Special to the Chicago American.

Special to the Chicago American.
New York, Aug. S.-The Stand
ard Oil company, the gigantic oil
trust, declared a dividend of 8 per
cent, $4,000, 900 payable to stock
holders of record on September
Is next. Thus far in the year
l900--the fourth year of McKin-
ley and prosperity-for the trusts
the Standard Oil Company has
declared three dividends:
One in March-20 per cent.
One in June-10 per cent.
One in September-.8 per cent.
That is to say, by September l6
next, the Standard Oil company,
the richest, most powerful trust
on earth, will have divided $685.
100000 in this one year between
John ID. Rockefeller, his brother.
its president, and the compara-
lively few men who own it's stock
AND MORE TO COME.
1t is safe to predict that the
Standard Oil company's fourth
quarterly dividend this year on its
capital stock of 800, 900, 900, will
be 10 per cent, 100000, 900. so
that in 365 days $4S, ,000,0 will
be distributed among the Stand
ard Oil company's stockholders.
That is, the Standard Oil COM
pany is making $131 ,506 a day, or
S5,479 an hour,
The annual report of the comp
troller of the currency proves
that in 1899 the dividends of all
the National banks in the United
States were $46.69l ,502.
The Standard Oil company will
pay in dividends this year $48, 900
900.
John ID. Rockefeller owns 81
per cent of the capital stock of
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey. This is merely the pa
rent corporation of the immune
rable subsidiary companies which
compose the trust. Each of these
companies makes its own profits
and the trust gets its share from
the ownership of stock in them.
RoCKEFELLER's THE LIONS SHARE.
The trust owns 81 per cent of
the stock of all these subsidiary
companies and it has made $685.
100000 so far this year out of
that ownership. The remaining
49 per cent of the stock of the
subsidiary companies is owned by
John d. Rockefeller outright, in
addition to his 81 per cent inter-
est in the parent corporation.
His share of the dividends so
far declared this year by the
parent trust, is $11, ,780, 900. His
per cent share of the profits of
the subsidiary companies is $685.
$4,000, making in all $48, ,290, 900
that he has received so far this
year from his interests in oil.
Nevertheless he has dyspepsia
and lives chiefly on crackers and
milk.

REPUBLICANS WORRI
NOT SATISFIED WITH EAsTH
CONDITIONS.
Heath Returns to Chica.
With Bad News--Agen
in West Greet Him Wi
Most Unwelcome News
Reed, Platt, Quay al
Harrison are 1'horns
McKinley's Side.

Chicago, Aug. l2.-Perry 81
Heath returned from the Eas'
yesterday, but his presence aid
not dispel the prevailing gloom
among The Republican managersl
lie did not bring cheering reports
nor did the reports that awaited
Heath increase his comfort
Heath was accompanied by 4
New Yorker named Corey, who
will be the financial agent during
the campaign.
The situation does not suit the
Republican leaders.
The reports from their conf.
dential men in the States are
discouraging. They also fear
that Reed, Platt, Quay and form
or President Harrison do not
desire Mckinley reelection.
Other Republicans, like former
Secretary of the Treasury Bout
well and former Senator Hender-
son, are open advocates of Bry-
ans election.
Reed has refused to take part
in the campaign, and Platt is on
~ desirous of electing his man
Governor of New York State.
Quay is in control of the Penn
sylvania machine and will trade
everything for control of the
Pennsylvania Legislature.
Rooseyelt's actions have dis
gusted the conservative elements
in the East. In the West the
Germans are deserting the party
in battalions, and the managers
are trying to arouse some enthu-
siasm by distributing Khaki uni
forms for Rough Rider clubs. A
few days ago n Chicago firm re-
ceived an order for $4,000 of
these uniforms.
The Republican chieftains re-
gard Indiana as Democratic, and
they have grave fears for Ohio
and Wisconsin.
Big sums Of money are being
used in purchasing German news
papers, and every German-speak-
ing orator who can be secured is
being retained for the stump.
Hanna spends most of his time
at Elberon.
