Marine Wonder,

Philadelphia, Sept. i6.--The $4,000

carry the largest cargo OF coal TO the

But the size and cargo OF the vessel
are not the most interesting facts In con-
nection with her. She is the pioneer
vessel OF a fleet Of monster ships with
which Il Is hoped to originate and per-
petuate American trade on the Pacific
ocean. Il will carry to foreign ports
traffic which originates on the railroad

none today for all generations.
Mr.. Hills experiment Is interesting
from another point OF view. There are
perhaps people who say that II is Inn
possible 70 build American ships which
can compete with foreign bottoms. This
experiment Is huge and characteristic
OF American enterprIse,l and there ~
every reason for faith in II.

pensed With.

New York, Sept, 16.-The only
speeches at the closing session of the
American bankers convention today
were delivered by W. E. Schweppe of
ST. Louis and Ellis H. Roberts, treas
urer of the United States. Mr.. Rob-
erts 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.
Under the act of March IA. 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
in greatest demand. If conditions point
at all to premium, the ones, twos
and fives will command it first. But
the level is well maintained. What
ever winds blow or storms beat, our
currency mas surface as clear and
even as a mirror. That surface is not
of mercury, shifting and undulating; it
is formed of the minted gold.
"The stronghold Of our financial sys-
TEN is it's actual gold, as well as our
statutes. Tie world has about $780,
100000 Of this metal, of which the
United States has in its stock $1,S42.-
422,.4O. In the last reported year, the
world produced less than s300,000,O00,
of which our mines gave $S0,000,000.
Our treasury holds s70O.000.uO0 in gross,
and our banks, national and others,
have sS0O,O00,000 approximately. So
over one fifth of all the worlds gold
is in the United States, and the bulk of
it in the banks and the treasury. The
charge is put forth often that we are
extravagant and wasteful in the pos
session of so. much of the precious
metal Are we?
"a leading financial Journal of this
city quotes the president of one of the
largest banks in San Francisco as al
leging that it costs $40 to get dollar
of gold out of the ground. Was the
metal all that the picks of the miners
and their self-sacrifice took out Of the
earth? Did not the argonauts Of 1S4s
and their successors create the Call
ifqrnia Of today2 The ranches, the,
orchards, the wheat and the fruit, the
factories and shipyards, the cities, the
churches, the universities. the civiliza-
ton of that prosperous commonwealth,
are a part of the harvest planted by
that $40 OF the miners.
American finance connects itself
with world movements. While we cam
not follow the debate relative to the
profit of gold mining, we must recog-
nize the fact that among the great
commercial nations the yellow metal
Is the only instrument for the final ad-
justment of trade differences. The ex-
perience of mankind has chosen it for
that purpose, and there is no other in
instrument available. A few countries
still cling to silver, but they all show
signs of adopting the richer metal.
Thus, gold becomes more masterful.

AS TO A FAIR.

1t is proposed to take up the uues-
ton whether fair shall be held in
Savannah this year in time, if the
matter shall be decided affirmatively,
to perfect such arrangements as will
assure its success in all particulars. To
this end a meeting of the business and
professional men, the members of the
several commercial organizations and
others interested in the progress and
prosperity of the city and adjacent
country, will be held this afternoon at
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce. 1t is hoped that it will be a
representative meeting, so that if a
fair is determined upon work in behalf
of it may begin without delay.
1t is suggested that the efforts of
those who have charge of the propos-
ed fair should be directed towards the
development of the nearby counties,
and not spread over the entire state.
Much better results can be accomplish
ed by a concentration of efforts. In
agricultural exhibits, for instance, let
the competition be restricted to ten or
twenty counties that are situated near
to Savannah and whose people natur-
ally look this way in business mat
ters. 1t is wasting our energy, and
our money as well, to endeavor to
reach out too far into territory with
which we have very small trade con-
nection.
An early start will give the mem
bers of the farmers clubs ample time
to get their exhibits ready, and will
also permit of wider publicity being
given the enterprise. 1t is best to de-
eide the question at once, and if the
sentiment is favorable to the holding
of a fair, the ways and means should
be taken under immediate considera-
ton.
