MONEY m CIRCULATION.
A Daily Increase of $3.50 1904 for
Eight Years.

During the last eight years of Republi-
can administration the increase in the
volume OF our currency has amounted
to S3o2,304 per day, or more than $l0,-
100000 per month--the total increase
being $1,014. 1861. This increase has
been chiefly and directly due to the poll
cies of sound money and protection.
BY the act passed Dec. Is. 1899. by a
Republican Congress Gi2 Democrats vot-
ing against il and only IL voting for il
in the House of Representatives and %
voting for it and = against il in the SEN
ate), and signed by President Mckinley,
the gold standard was sanctioned by law,
and according to Alton h. Parker wns
then firmly and irrevocably establish
ed" Just as free silver would have
driven gold from the country according
to the famous Gresham law that bad
money drives ont good money" SO this
positive committal of the country to the
gold standard resulted in large gain
of gold to our currency. The incrras-
ingly large output Of gold from Alaska.
California, Colorado ard other Western
States remained in the United States
instead of being driven out. as would
have been the case had free silver tri-
umphed in 1896 or 1000. Not only this.
but the United States gold standard drew
to this country much of the gold produc-
ed in South Africa and other parts of
the world
The policy of protection also contrbut-
ed to our ability to keep our own gold
and get more gold from other nations. for
it made the balance of trade favorable.
since it tended to increase our exports
over our imports. Instead OF sending
gold out of the country as in Demo
| cratic times, to pay for goods that Amer
lean labor at home might just M well
have produced, the Republican policy has
been to cause gold to he distributed at
home for work done just as well at home
or the present amount OF money in
circulation about 4S per cent is gold
which mostly represents money saved to
the people of the United States by the
Republican policies of sound money and
protection.

he voted for Bryan, Judge Parker asks
the support and confidence of all gold

as 'irrpvocably established" He does

AS TO IMMIGRATION.
a Campaign Issue that IL Worthy of
the Voters Attention.

They are coming, the less fortunate,
coming to this American continent to
secure a better life for themselves than
they have in their own land. They are
coming from the less prosperous parts of
Italy, and from Bohemia and from Hun
gary and from Poland, and throughout
all that wide northern Slavc region
wherein is oppression of the Jews. In
other words, they are coming from every
where. From Europe the most oppressed
and, in some cases. most unintelligent
classes are coming here to find better
conditions for themselves, and meanwhile
to necessarily infuse new element Of
blood here as well as new element of
thought and religion and general drift
of being. We accept them and their
blood and the infusion of their genera
tons for the future. We accept them, in
the broadcast sense, with the idea that,
by and by, there will become homo
geneity of the races which will take care
Of itself The Morse in all his varieties
is. of course, part of us, but the assimi
lation of the Latin in all his varieties is
another thing. We are trying TO be big
broad Christians and make no dstinc-
tons.
Certain laws have been enacted under
the regime of the Republican party, and
the manner in which they are being en-
forced illustrates, as well as could be-
the earnestness of the present admins
tration. in allowing the filtering into this
country, in all generosity, OF those who
seek better harbor for what there is in
life. 1t is but fair to the Republican
party in this campaign that every voter
should think of all that the party has
done ia the enactment of laws and the
enforcement of them. in all hberality, as
to perfecting the immediate business well
fare of the country and as 10 controlling
the amalgamation OF its future blood.
This is one of the side issues of the
campaign to which the attention OF every
voter may well be directed.

sion itself reports unanimously that the
relative decline of the iron and steel in
dustry cannot be attributed to natural
disadvantages or want of skill and en-
terprise on the part of either of British
manufacturers or workmen, but is due
to the fact that their competitors in the

The value to labor and TO the indus

iron and steel industry under Republican
rule will be apparent when il is real
lied that the wages and salaries paid
in iron and steel manufacture in the
United States have increased from 500,

HOW MUCH FOR AMUSEMENT.

The American people like to be
amused and entertained. It is food
and drink to them. The following
from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
is in point:
The gross amount of receipts from
concessions at the Fair will reach
over $1O,O0O,OO0. This statement was
made last night by one Of the Fair
officials familiar with the figures. OF
this sum the Exposition company will
receive in the neighborhood of $780,
900 as it's percentage. The Intram-
ural railroad has been paying
proposition. It's receipts are not
figured in the total, although it has
earned as high as $4,000 per day. 1t
is the property of the Fair, into whose
treasury its gross receipts will go.
Other concessions, not on The Pike or
it's tributary branches, will bring the
total gross receipts up to high fig
ure. The full list of Pike concessions
and the amount in gross each one has
taken in during the seven months of
the Fair is as follows. For six
months the aggregate amount was as.
certained. The seven months re.
ceipts are estimated. A Fair official
who looked over the sheet last night
says it is not far from right:

Many of the attractions in the list
did not make cent. Others did fair
ly well, while still others did good
business. All the concessionaries
were figuring on an attendance of
100000. That some of them were
disappointed in receipts naturally fol-
lows. The Inside Inn is said to have
made good money while the
Tyrolean Alps, which comes next in
receipts, is said to have lost money,
owing to it's expensive installation
and heavy operating expenses. Such
shows as Jim Key, the Ferris Wheel
and others requiring little expense
for operating, did good business. The
Boer war did not make a great deal
for it's proprietors, although it was
