MANY APPLICATIONS MADE.
National Banks Ask Treasury for Re
 tirement of Circulation.

Washington September 9.-Applications from national banks for the retirement of circulation are reaching the treasury department in unexpected numbers and amounts For the seven business days '6f the present month the applications aggregate $2,762, 800. Under the law only s0000OO can be retired in any month and the applications are granted in the or der in which they are received.
 For several months past the retirement of circulation have been only nominal and during the refunding period the cir culation increased by about $40, ,000 0O0 The present movement is accounted for at the treasury department by the high price of bonds, the banks evidently see ing greater profit in selling their bonds than in keeping them as security for their circulation.

A Future Ffmnncier.

There is a 6-year-old West Philadel-
phian who already gives evidence of
possessing the necessary qualifications
to place him at the head of some
great trust, says the Philadelphia
Press. For some weeks past he has
been troubled with toothache and his
mother has coaxed, threatened and
hired him to go and have the tooth ex-
tracted, but the small boy could not
get his courage to the necessary point.
Finally one morning, when mamma
had been making bids, like the crowd
at an action. "One dollar, one and
one-half," and at last had reached
three" the small boy broke in with:
Say, mamma, would you give me
five dollars?"
The mother hesitated a moment, and
then said: Yes" Anything to have it
over.
IN do it them" said the small boy.
So away they went in a hurry before
he could repent of his bargain. Ar
rived at the dentists, the operation
was so painless and so soon over that
the small boy didn't realize that the
tooth was out until they told him.
On the way home, his mother said:
Now, Harold, don't you think that
was a very little thing for mamma to
give you IS for?"
Yes, mamma, do" said the young
ffnancier. But, I'll tell you what
Wen call it SAFE and you give me the
S. and I'll give you back the 25 cents
some time when I have another tooth
pulled"

1t is not too early TO begin the shop
ping for the Christmas holidays. Not
only is it the early bird that gets the
worm, but the early shopper that gets
the best of what is offering. The wise
person who visits the stores while the
stocks are full and fresh has a greater
variety to select from and can exercise
judgment, whereas the procrastinator
must take what he can get and be
satisfied with goods that have been pull
ed over and rejected by other people.
At every Christmas season there are
a great many people who mentally reg
lister an oath that they will do their
shopping earlier next year." but when
next year comes they are prone to put
it off until the last moment, the same
as before. 1t is an unwise policy.
When the stocks are fullest and the
crowds smallest is the very best of all
times to make selections. To wait un-
til the stores are jammed with the in
evitable crush of late corners, and the
street cars are similarly jammed with
eleventh-hour buyers, is to invite dis
satisfaction and heaviness of spirit.
To those who have heretofore been
in the habit of making their holiday
purchases in cities of the North and
East we would say a special word:
Give the home merchants a chance. EX-
anime their stocks. See if they haven't
got the very things you want. The
chances are that they have. They car
ry exceptionally complete assortments
and make an effort to meet every legiti-
mate demand. And in the matter of
prices, they are willing to compete
with any and all markets In many
instances they sell actually cheaper
than the merchants of other and larger
cities, thus saving the home purchaser
money in addition to the freight
charges. Heretofore season after sea-
son tens of thousands OF dollars have
been sent away from Savannah TO
other cities for Christmas purchases
without any good reason therefor. This
should not be so. The local merchants
have a right to expect that they will
at least be given an opportunity to
supply the nome market. II lney ldll
to meet the demand, then will be time
enough to look elsewhere, and then
the local merchants would have no
right to kick" But it isn't fair to
send trade away without giving the
home people a chance. Let us make
it point this year to enhance the hap
piness and increase the prosperity of
the holiday season by shopping early
and doing as much Of it in Savannah
as is possible.

They were talking in the cloak room
on the Republican side of the House
the other day about the disappearance
of the Populists and silverites from
public life, says a Washington dispatch
in the New York Sun.
1T was hot work out in Iowa." said
Judge Walter Smith of Council Bluffs,
when the Populsts and Silverites first
came into being, and many We're the
strenuous experiences our speakers
had in the early days. Dolliver, who
is now in the Senate, went once to
speak in neighbOrhood where he had
lived in earlier days. The young fell
lows, most of whom had gone off after
strange gods, politically, determined to
give him the time of his life, if a Sc
ries of questions properly administered
could do it.
"Dolliver was informed of the scheme
with an uneasy sensation. Only a few
minutes had elapsed when one of the
auditors fired off the first question:
" Who made gold?'
"Dolliver, you know, is what his COL
league, Senator Proctor of Vermont
describes himself as being, a strong
Methodist, and this interruption offer
ed him a chance. With great solemn
ity of voice and manner, he replied:
The Lord God Almighty and then
quick as a flash and with a pleading
tone, he continued: why, Sam, you
didn't lose your religion, did you, when
you changed your politics. The re-
mainder of the meeting was as quiet
and well behaved as the most nervous
speaker could have wished"

CURRENT COMMENT.

lem before them created by the nomi-
nation of Ike" Allen, a negro, for
the office of street commissioner with
a $4,000 salary The mayoralty candi-
date threatens to withdraw unless AL
len quits the ticket"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
'If the present duties are meant to
protect the present wages Of American
labor, how much should the duties be
reduced when the trusts cut wages by
20 per cent? Might it not be a good
thing for the American consumer to
be able to buy American goods as
cheaply as they are sold to foreigners?
If English manufacturers cannot hold
their own markets against American
goods without tariff, why do we
need a fence to keep them out of
ours?"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
Some of the English people are ex-
pressing astonishment that Mr.. Bryan
hasn't silver horns. Mr.. Bryan can
be diplomatic when the occasion re-
quires, for he has demonstrated that
he can BeHeIdlly IcCoSulHc the ulA-
ference between a social function and
a political pow-pow. He is being
entertained abroad because he is dis
tinguished American citizen, twice
honored by the representatives of a
great people with the nomination for
President and not as the propagandist
of financial fad"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: Admitting that 12c and more
for cotton looks high by comparison
with the prices ruling five or six years
ago, the matter is seen in an entirely
different aspect when it is reflected that
the conditions of supply and demand
have been entirely reversed since that
time. While at that time consump-
tion, even though stimulated by low
prices fell 100000 bales short Of
production. at the present moment Il
looks as II they crop will be fully L.
100000 bales short OF what the world
would take were a sufficient supply
available Regarded from that point
OF view, even ruling prices seem
moderate"

AMERICAN SHOES IN EUROPE.

A Savannah man recently returned
from trip to Europe was talking about
trade. You would be surprised to
see the number of American articles
offered for sale in the larger cities
of Europe" he said. And they are
bought largely because they are Ameri-
can, which to many people has come
to mean that they are better and cheap
er than European-made goods. And
that they are cheaper is a fact. They
are cheaper there, indeed, than they
are here. Why, in London 1 bought
a pair of shoes of American make, of
a certain brand, for SO that sell for
$3.50 in any city of the United States
and you cannot get them for less. These
shoes sold for less in London, after
paying freight and insurance across
the ocean, than they can be bought
for in New York or Savannah. And
it is so with number of other pro-
tected articles. In Berlin l priced a
certain machine of American make. 1t
sold for 500 less than a duplicate of it
could be bought for in the United
States. 1 saw a number of American
plows, cultivators and other agricul-
tural implements in both England and
Germany, and in every instance the
foreign selling price was less than the
price charged at home"
The export business of the United
States in shoes has shown remarkable
growth in the last ten years. In 1898
less than 500, 900 pairs of shoes were
exported to Europe. These had a value
of not quite 100000 During the fis-
cal year that ended with June there
were exported to Europe 4,197,566 pairs
of shoes, having a value of $6665,017.
The average value of the shoes export
ed was less than 81 per pair, showing
that a considerable percentage of the
exports was of shoes of the common
er varieties, such as are worn by work
ing people. The tariff places a tax
of 35 cents ad valorem, on shoes and
other manufactures of leather. With
such a wall of protection to stand be-
hind, American manufacturers are able
to charge the people OF their own
country high prices for shoes and to
sell shoes in foreign countries in COM
petition with the manufacturers of
those countries. The profits taken in
Europe are much less than those taken
in the United States, but that there
are profits is assured, or there would
be no reaching out for the foreign
trade. The average profit on
American and European trade must be
quite handsome. 1t is gratifying, of
course. to know that American shoes,
and other manufactures, are making
their way in Europe; but American
consumers can see no reason why they
should be forced to pay higher prices
than those charged to European con-
sumers.
