Congressman Eddy Stands by Posi-

Congressman Frank Eddy of the old

pounding from the eastern press.
Regarding President Roosevelt's posi-

thinks that some trusts can be reached
by tariff revision. He thinks the presi-

Mr.. Eddy closely followed the presidents

Mr.. Eddy ascribes the presidents popu-

Through a plan devised by c. T. Spear,

forty and fifty cars a day of freight have

The scheme is, a 'sblock" system. Of

each Is given a number. Chicago is one
block, and Is Mol. 81 Eau, Claire Is NO. z.
and all the larger stations have numbers
of their own In the case Of small towns,
a group of neighboring stations is In
cluded in the lone number, and all the
stations on one Of the short branch lines
or on a connecting road may be included
in another NUMBER The blocks are num-

the block numbers of all the blocks whose
cars are to be loaded at that point
Those cards are necessary, because
there are three parallel tracks and it Is

THE TREASURY'.S STRENGTH
CONDITION AT THE CLOSE OF THE
YEAR MOST GRATIFYING, SAYS
SECRETARY GAGE

Washington, Dec 31.-"The Treasury is in
condition of unexampled strength said Secre-
tary Gage to-day, when asked to review the
Treasury situation at the close of the year. He
continued:
Only month ago in my annual report to Con-
sreSS L reviewed these conditions. The figures
Tor the last month have made but little change.
For the calendar year show receipts in ex-
cess OF the ordinary expenditures, amounting
roundIy to 800 600 900 Such an excess might
have resulted in serious embarrassment had not
the department been able by means of this
surplus to reduce the public debt in large
amounts. Since April l last the Treasury has
redeemed and cancelled United States bonds TO
the par value of SOS IL 100 which have been
applied to the sinking fund and the disburse-
ment resulting therefrom was SI2,226,S40. The
available cash hand is therefore only about
$30,O00,000 larger than the amount held a year
ago.
Comparing the situation as II is to-day with
April l, 1897, the result is most gratifying. on
the latter day the Treasury held money of all
kinds the amount of S250SI3OOO. including
SloOOnUDp as a gold reserve. leaving there-
fore, S150,OOU,0OO a cash balance. To-day
in money OF all kinds the Treasury holds S296,-
G59.OOO. and if we deduct the SlJO,OooUO now
held a gold reserve, the balance stands al
S146O0OOOO or $4,O00.tOO less than it was
April l. 1897. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
substantial equilibrium has been maintained.
There has been very material increase in the
volume of money in circulation since March l.
1897 as well in the amount per capita The
volume Of money on that date outside the
Treasury was 81 1915 694 953 and the amount
per capita was $50 II. on December last the
amount of money outside the Treasury was s.
25O. .256, 80, and the amount per capita was
$2S T3 The increase in amount, therefore, was
S574561. .277. and the increase per capita was
S. 80.
The amount of gold coin and gold certificates
in circulation Increased from S053, ,S6O,ol0 on
March l. 1897. to S914 43000S9 on December /,
1901 Every other kind of money in circulation
is greater in amount now than IT was on March
l. 1891 with The single exception or the treas
urv notes of the act OF July Il, 1890 The
amount of these in circulation December l.
1901 was only $4O01262 622, as against $50, 94o,-
621 on March 1. 1891. This reduction IN Volunfe
: crows ont of the natural operation OF the act
OF July H. 1890, and the act of March IA. 100.
The increase in the amount or national oank
notes in circulation during the period in ques-
tion was S132 132 731 This increase IS mainly
attributable TO the act Of March ii, 1900.
