r.SITE A CONTRACT.
BY Walter j. Ballard.

d.
On the Sth of May. 1902. the amount Of
gold in the United States treasury was
s'49. i29.36O. the largest sum in gold coin
the national money vaults ever contained.
This gratifying condition exists after five
years of Mckinleyism. of Dingleyism. of
Protectionism. or whatever you please to
call it. 1t contrasts strongly with the
conditions which existed six or seven
or eight years ago under tariff reform
or Free Trade administration. Then we
were selling bonds to make good our
treasury stock of gold, which had fallen
to about 100000 or, say. $50, OO0. 600 below
the present high water mark. No sooner
did we exchange bonds for gold coin than
the gold would be drawn out again in
redemption of legal tender notes. So it
went. that disheartening "endless chain"
of taking In and paying out gold. McKin-
ley broke the "endless chain" and it has
stayed broken ever since.

MAGAZINE called Health says
~ that fear causes more diseases
4 n, than do microbes, more deaths
than famine, more failure than
panics, 1t costs more than war. is al
ways failure and Is never necessary.
Fear weakens the hearts action. in
duces congestion. invites Indigestion,
produces poison through decomposing
foods, and is thus the mother of auto
poisoning, which either directly causes
or greatly aids in the production of
quite 80 per cent. of all our diseases.
Observation of the unskilled in medi-
cal science will undoubtedly prove that
this is true. AS a rule the good
natured, fearless people usually enjoy
the best of health while the nervous
and faulttlnding. who are ever ready
to become agitated over the most rid
iculous prophecies of the weather seer
and the calamity howler, are seldom
physically comfortable. In this age of
yellow journalism with it's accompany
ing illustrations that outdo the prod
uCtS of the museum chamber of hor-
rors; in this season of unrest. when
warning elements threaten to destroy
the industries of the country and hide
the rays of the sun of prosperity behind
blackened clouds of despair, it must be
admitted that it is difficult for the aver
age person to preserve a tranquil equil-
ibrium. But worrying over the evils
which we may possibly in future en-
counter will do no good. 1t is better
to enjoy the sunshine of the rare June
days while they are here than to have
their beauty obscured by thoughts of
the September equinoctial storm. The
dawn of industrial peace and returning
prosperity may come sooner than any
imagine.

of the importations of Japan. The
Annual Returns OF the Foreign Trade
of the Empire of Japan" for the year
1901 has just been received by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics at Wash

States. which, in 1881, furnished less
than per cent. of the imports of Ja-
pan; supplied II per cent. of those i'm
ports in 1901; and that the United
Kingdom, our chief rival in that trade,
which supplied over 30 per cent. of those
imports in 1881, furnished but 20 per
cent. of Japan's importations in 1901.
The United States now stands second in
