THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Second Annual Music Festival.

The second annual May music testival which is to take place at the Auditorium next weekday 10 and 11-promises to be the most delightful musical event in the history of Birmingham. Every ono recalls with pleasure and pride the festival of last year. It was a splendid achievement, and gave Birmingham a reputation as musical community that it had not before enjoyed.
 The Boston Festival orchestra that SUD- piled the instrumental music in 1889 will be heard again next week. while many dis tinguished soloists, and our own chorus of 15O will be among the attractions.
 As popular as the programmes were a year ago, those arranged for the three con- certs of the forthcoming festival are even more varied and brilliant. It would be dif- dcult indeed to improve upon single one oi them.
 The citizens of Birmingham-those who are devoted to music and those who lack enthusiasm for music-should turn out en masse, and make the festival grand finan- cial success. The financial success of last years affair made the festival for this year possible, and with the receipts in excess of the expenses next week another great festival for 1901 will be assured.

Volume of Money Increasing.

The per capita circulation is now placed
 at $2612, and it is yearly rising. This is
 partly due to an increase in gold and silver
 production, and partly to the new facilities
 extended to the national bankers. Hun
 dreds of new national banks are in course of formation, and many of the old banks are taking steps to increase their circula- tion. The gold in use is now put at $S5,- oo0,OOO; the silver and silver certificates at | $6Sl. .OOo, 900, and the paper money at enough
 to carry the grand total beyond the s2,OOO,- | OOo,OOO mark.
 l This result does not, however, promote | business activity and prosperity; for both are confessedly lower than they were last l year. The trusts are shaking confidence. I Their excesses have already impaired it in l a great measure. Reaction in prices, say | the commercial agencies, has set in, and geld exports have again been inaugurated. | On Thursday of last week s5O0,000 was sent | out, and no doubt other sums will follow. Trusts and Dingleyism are counter-balanc- ing the natural effects of an increase in circulation and great crops, and great in-
 creases in the sales of manufactured goods.
 Baleful as the trusts are, there is but one
 way to destroy them, and that consists in
 the overthrow of Dlngleyism. Trusts are absolutely harmless in England because they cannot put up or put down the prices; here behind their Dngley wall, they are
 omnipotent, buying the presidency and leg
 islative at will manipulating the stock
 market, and turning thousands of workmen
 without notice out of employment. The
 true and only remedy can be and will be
 applied next November
