A full treasury is scarcely a symp-
tom OF hard times. According IL
United States Treasurer Ellis II. Rob
erts, the gold holdings Of this country
exceed all records in the world and are
the greatest ever known in the his
tory of the United States. The gold
accumulation of our government now
amounts to s6S5, 100000 IN round num-
bers. A year ago they were $615,000,-
600, which at that time was the high
water mark. The gold certificates out
standing against this stock of gold are
1881, goo. All this marvellous accu-
received in d legitimate way and is q
menace TO no one.
The real wealth of the United States
is better appreciated in reading of the
enormous holdings of gold in the treas
ury. and in comparing them with the
riches of other governments. In COM
parisons of this kind. the United States
ranks head and shoulders above all
other countries, standing pre- emmient-
ly as the richest government on earth.
AT the present time the gold in the
stock of money OF the United States is.
in round numbers, $1,000, 600, 0O0 II
this stock of money could be brought
together and melted into solid mass
1t would make cube of nearly sixteen
feet, Weighing 1888 tons and requiring
lat freight cars to move it. Were it
coined into eagles and placed edge to
edge, the line would be ZIG miles
long or from New York to sixty miles
west of Colorado Springs.
In gold in stock, in circulation and in
official holdings. our country surpasses
every other nation. The stock of GIsat
Britain is $52S,000. 600, so that ours is
double. The increase in five years here
has been sS7s.000,0o0 In that period
Great Britain has added s90.000,o00.
France has added s137.a00.oo0. Ger
many $95.000,0o0. Austria Hungary
55,000,Ooe, while Russia has added
only s1C,4e0.oo0 to her stock
In several other countries there has
been reduction. In all of Europe the
total gain in the same interval has
been s450.000,000, from which is de-
xs,o,ad .n,1 fau;p~ off IN ,arre IL, mn f;ans
Of $26,000,000, and thus the net In
crease is about s42s,0o0.0oo. at the
present time our stock of the yellow
metal exceeds that of 81 European
countries. and.xsS,+ hsiF population is
As'e ttmgks.. of the Lnited- ssatess-.
One OF the interesting features of the
opera tons OF the treasurer's Office dur
ing Che past year has been heavy ship
snents of currency to the south and
west, particularly to- the south. Up to
date these shipments for the year
amount to ss4,70o.OO0. while for the
same period of last year they were only
D71, 100000. This means that the
southern cotton growers and the west
ern farmers and stockmen are in
prosperous condition. as the bulk of
these shipments Of money was needed
TO move the corn, cattle and cotton OF
the south and west. Thsre is prom |
Ire of continued prosperity in the
treasurer's report.

The Australian ballot bill 8 passed

The bill 20 regulate small money
lenders is proving a knotty problem for
the Senate General judiciary Commit
tee. That body discussed the bill at

meetings to-day and win do
the same again tomorrow.
This bill was the outcome
OF the recent Investigation by the
Fulton county grand jury of so-called
Loan shark methods" and of the ap-
peals from Chatham county merchants.
The objection TO the bill was on the
ground that it would include farmers
and others. who made occasional small
loans. Senator Lewis suggested that
this be met by provisions that the act
should not apply to persons not charg-
ing more than 8 per cent. interest or
fees for examining titles for closing up
the loans. Mr., Hopkins said he would
incorporate this in the bill, which will
come UP again tomorrow.

STRIKE EXTENDED To-
NEW YORK PLANTS

New York, July 13.-Wher the hour
for opening the big meat packing
plants in this city had arrived, the
strike of butchers and meat handlers,
inaugurated in the west yesterday was
on in this city and before many hours
it was estimated that nearly 5000 men
had quit work. The men that were
out were the butchers. packers, car
riers and cutters. members of the
New York locals of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters, and Butcher Workmen
of America.
From the managers of the beef
plants, it was learned that the beef
supply is very low. Within a few
hours the price Of beef had gone up
two or three cents a pound. with indi-
cations of advancing further. None of
the dealers had a supply sufficient to
last longer than a week. and it is the
opinion among the meat men that if
the strike continues, a meat famine Is
inevitable.
Similar reports come from most of
the large eastern cities, where meat
prices have advanced from 2 to cents
a pound.

BRYAN is NOT WANTED
TO TAKE THE STUMP.
Sullivan Says He Would Do More
Harm Than Good.

Chicago, July 1S.-Roger c. Sulli-
van, the new member of the National
Democratic Committee from Illinois, de
clared tonight that it was not thought
desirable by the members of the Ma
tional' Committee that William Jen-
nings Bryan take the stump for the ma
tional ticket.
Several days ago Mayor Harrison in.
vited Mr.. Bryan to speak at a ratifi.
cation meeting. which is to be held in
Chicago in few days. Mr.. Sullivan
declared, when informed Of the invita-
ton that had been extended to Mr..
Bryan, Bryan must not come into Illi-
nois to speak"
Explanations were at once asked Of
Mr.. Sullivan, and he declared that the
National Committee had decided not
to have Bryan as one of its speakers.
The reason assigned by the committee
for this reported decision, according to
Mr.. Sullivan. is that in their opinion,
he would do the ticket more harm
than good"
When informed of Mr.. Sullivan's
declaration, Mayor Harrison said I'VE
have invited Mr.. Bryan to speak and !
hope that he will accept. We think
that he will do the ticket more good
than harm"

Differences Are to BE Subjected to
Arbitration.
Chicago, July Rehabilitation of the
grievances which precipitated the gen
eral strike in the meat packing houses
in various parts of the country appears
tonight to be in sight and a conference
between employers and strikers will
be held tomorrow morning. The
initial step toward a settlement of the
controversy by mediation was taken
late this evening by the State Board of
Arbitration.
When the members OF the board
reached Chicago they at once went in
to conference with Michael J. Don
nelly. the leader Of the strike. and then
talked with the representatives of the
packers. AS a result of these con-
ferences, Mr.. Donnelly sent a COM
munication to the packers. in which
it was stated that the unions were will
ing to accept a settlement through
board of arbitration. After much tele-
phoning with both parties a meeting
was arranged and agreed to for to-
morrow forenoon.
Mr.. Donnelly declared tonight that
the arbitration offer of the packers
had not reached him before the strike
was called. Both sides seem to be
conciliatory and an early settlement
seems likely.

Mr.. Price, as we'll as DR.. Van Dyke
with the Georgia banner, headed
marching column that for some thirty
minutes marched around the conven.
ton hall.
"The delegation had the very grea'
pleasure of presenting to Mrs. Hall
Judge Parker's daughter, the banner
which played such a conspicuous part
in shaping the action of the conven'
ton. Mrs Hall was overcome with
JOY at this act and stated that she
would treasure this banner always"
Hon. Hoke Smith, who also returned
to-day, said
1T was the most interesting gath
ering l ever attended. The delegates
from Georgia did their full part tc
bring about the result. The fact that
Georgia's twenty-six votes could al.
ways be counted upon, not only to
vote for Judge Parker, but to sustain
the plans of his managers, was
source, I know. of great satisfaction
and help to them"
