 American finance does not stand alone, Tenerife in midocean, Shasta or Rainier or Mont Blanc rising in solitary majesty among their ranges. It is the vital current of the activity of the pc ople. Its strength is not in theory or in petty technicalilies. It is strong with the brain and brawn of 82 ,ooo 1000 citizens; with the varied resources of mine and soil aad forest and running waters; with the sheep and horses on many ranches and the cattle oil thousand hills; with coal and iron and all their products; with wheat and corn and sugar and cotton; with the inventive minds and skillful fingers of efficient artisans; with forge and factory and dynamo and motor; and, not least, with school and college, with university and church. Financial strength is in wealth of every kind, but not less thau the purest morality and the worthiest character.

COLONEL OR CORPSE.

An outside paper prints story of one George O. Travis, young telegrapher, who resigned a posi- tion at 800 a month to enlist i'll the U. S. army. Travis says he has always intended to enter the army on reaching the age of 2I. and now an uncle has died in Chicago and left him $I3 30, 900 conditional on his serving three years and receiving an honorable discharge. In an- nouncing his dete: imitation young Travis says:
 am determined to reach the top. Gen. Chaffee, who is now at the head of the army, enlisted the same as l am do- ing and the chances were no better then than now. l am coming out colonel or corpse.
 The paper telling the story says "a determination of that kind well stuck to will win whether it be in the army or in civil life" Certainly such determination we'll stuck to will win. It follows, J therefore, that such a determira- tion should be emulated. Pursu- ing this line of philosophical thought, we may eventually arrive at time when every man entering the army will do SO with the same high resolve as Mir. Travis. Bully! If their resolutions are well stuck to" the pension rolls of the future will contain only the names of a few colonels and possibly general or two.

United States TreaSl Ter
 Deiia,evs aN Address
 On American Finance


 United States, addressed the Amer ican Bankers convention in New York recently on The Strength and Weakness of the American Finance He said:
 The confession that weak links can be found in our financial chain shall not drive us into pessimism. We know the growth and the reserve of strength. Un- der the act of March I4, 1900, every dollar is equal to every other dollar, and all are interchangeable. Because they are most in use among all the people everywhere, the small notes are i'll greatest demand. If conditions point at all to a premium, the ones, twos and lives will command it first. But the level is well maintained. Whatever winds blow or storms beat, our currency has surface as clear and even as a mirror. That surface is not of mer- cury, shifting and undulating; it is formed of the minted gold.
 The stronghold of our financial system is its actual gold as we'll IS our statutes. The world has about $5,5oo, 900 ,ooo of this metal, of which the United States has in its stock $I.342,422, ,74o. In the last reported year the world produced less than $500 ,ooo, 900, ofwhich our mines gave $50, 1000 ,ooo. Our treasury Eolds $7oo, 900, 900 i'll gross and our banks, ma tional and other, have $500, ,ooo,oco ap- proximately. So over one-ffth of the world gold is in the United States, and the bulk of it in the banks and the treas- ury. The charge is put forth often that we are extravagant and wastetul in the possession of so much of the prec .ous metal. Are we?
 A leading financial journal of this city quotes the president of one of the largest banks ill San Francisco as alleging that it costs $2o to get a dollar of gold out of the ground. Was the metal all that the picks of the miners and their seif-sacrifice took out of the earth? Did not the argo- nauts of IS4o and their successors create the California of today? The ranches, the orchards, the wheat and the fruit, the factories and shipyards, the cities, the churches, the universities, the civilization of that prosperous commonwealth, are part of the harvest planted by that $2o of the miners.
 American finance connects itself with world movements. While we can not follow the debate relative to the profit of gold mining. we must recognize the fact that among the greater commercial na- tions the yellow metal is the only instru- ment for the final adjustment of trade differences. The experience of mankind has chosen 1t for that purpose, and there is no other instrument available. X few countries still cling to silver. but they all show signs of adopting the richer metal. Thus gold becomes more master fai. Those who put themselves in hostile array, denounce it as costly, and doubt the value of the discovery and production. are bound to provide. at least in theory, some other tool for settling the world commerce. The era of crude barter has passed away. The stress of trade insists upon the best machinery.

 "What ]" exclaimed the friend. You, Walt, at work May I ask what is your occupation?'
 Why" answered Whitman, II ride on the street cars. I fall into conversation with the drivers and conductors, and find out which of them have no overcoats. Then l guess at their size and notify Childs, who sends them the overcoats needed. Its not very hard work, " the poet added, pensively, "and you see it helps Childs along. .'-Wo- mans Home Companion.
