THE NATIONS WEALTH.

Mr.. Frank A. Vsnderlip, vice-president
of the National City Bank of New York,
is more optimistic than he was a year or
so ago. de recently made speech before
the Illinois Bankers Association at the st.
Louis Exposition, in the course of which
he showed that the wealth of the United
States has increased enormously within
the past few years. Mr.. Vanderlip stated
that the total wealth of our country has
arisen in ten years from S76, 900, 0OO, 900 to
$1O6, 900, 100000 and he predicts that in
ten years more we shall have an aggregate
of $l4O, OOO, 900, 600. Our total wealth in
1880 was $40, COO, 100000.
In ten years the stock of money las in
creased from 81 900, 600, 900 to more than
81, 500, OOO, 900, and the actual stock of
gold increased in that period $3.50, 00O, 900.
If this ratio is continued for ten years
longer our total stock of money will be
81, 400. 100000.
The bank deposits of the United States
national, State, savings banks and trust
companies amounted to $4,000, 600, 900,
as against $4,000, 100000 ten years ago:
MIR. Vanderlip thinks that these will have
doubled again during the next ten years.
Our foreign trade this year amounts to
So, 450, O00, 900, against 81 500, 900, 600 ten
years ago.
This year we have harvested abundant
crops, and we have plentiful supply Of
gold, which is constantly increasing. With
these conditions, it is hard to see how
there can be anything but prosperity
in the United States for some time to
come. Richmond Times Dispatch.
Why not let these conditions slone2
The most of the wealth that has been &C.
cumulatIng in this country within the past
ten years was created during the last seven
years under Republican administrations
and policies. The Times. Dispatch is urg-
ing the people to vote for change in the
administration and for radical change in
the business policy of the government. 1t
is urging the adoption Of policy that
brought adversely ten years ago, and gave
this country four years Of hard times, the
very opposite of the splendid conditions
that now give go much satisfaction to our
Richmond contemporary. Do you not
think it would be wise to let well enough

An Expert Who Does Nat See the Islands
Iudoe Parker's WAY

Helen p. Beattle, an American teacher in the
Philippines IN 1.-THE Outlook"
II Is a question whether any other peo-
pie in the world could be influenced and
changed more than the Filipinos are being
changed. 1t is doubtful il teacher is
anywhere else In the world the living force
for good that he can be here. :.
The public school teacher has risen 30
much in popular estimation that many
well-born and well.to-do young men and
women are entering the ranks, often with
the primary object of learning English
from the American teacher, but often also
from feeling that by so doing they can
help their country on toward a brighter
future through the enlightenment Of their
people generally. The Filipinoe
are born musicians. orators and actors,
and the school entertainments given are
far superior to any that could be given by
American boys and girls of the same de-
gree of advancement. Their dramas are
presented with vigor and expression, and
with seldom a trace of the eelf-conscious-
ness that 80 often hampers young America.
They are intensely dramatic, and the fine
old classics find loving friends here in the
Orient. 1.-THE Launching Of the Ship"
"When Freedom from Her Mountain
Height" etc., are acclaimed with the
greatest of fire and abandon, and the
small boy delivers "The Gobble-uns II
Git Yer, if You Don't Watch Out" in the
solemn, warning tone 30 we'll known. No
one can estimate the value of these poems,
and OF The songs the children learn, in
helping them to acquire English. 4.
In music they need to hear an air only
two or three times before they begin sing
ing and whlstling 1t. The simple old songs
that We love 80 we'll in our own land are
the ones that appeal to these people also,
and all over the Islands one may hear
"Old Kentucky Home" "Old Oaken
Bucket" and other songs of this class, as
we'll as rollicking college songs and the
national airs. 1t is most affecting to walk
along the streets after dusk and hear the
poor in their miserable shscks singing the
songs the children have learned at school.
Their pronunciation Of the words generally
leaves much to be desired, but our men,
cries supply the deficiency. They crave
all we can give them Of music, az they
have nothing Of their Own but few wild
minor airs and the weird church chants
They love the bright, catchy tunes, and
the Spanish and American military bands
have been great boon to them. Souss is
whistled everywhere. "a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" was long consd-
cred our national air, and AFTER the
Bal' and "Just One Girl" have been 90
completely assImilated that native words
in many different dialects have been fitted
to them.

Sunday Closing Of the Fair.
St. Louis Republic.

St. Louis Republic.
The Exposition Company has loyalty
enforced the provision Of Congress against
Sunday opening. Yet nobody knows bet
ter than the officials that the rule has
minimized for large bodies of st. Louis
people the educational advantages Of the
Fair. AS matter of religious duty there
may be difference Of opinion upon in
of the Scripture. On the side
of practical morality there is no doubt
that if the Exposition had been open Sum
days the working people of st. Louis would
have derived ineetimable benefit.

1t is amusing to zee how eagerly the
''safe and sane" Democracy is calling upon
the "unsafe and insane" for help in this
campaign. Mr.. Bryan, as the representa-
tive OF the heretofore lunatics of the DEM
ocratic party, has assumed the role Of
Aaron and abandoned that of the Moses
of the Democracy, which he claimed to
hold in the campaigns of 1896 aud 1900.
To the so.called doubtful States Mr.. Bryan
is bsing sent and the funny sane Demo-
crais are relying upon him to cave them
from defeat in those States.

campaign of 1904 when be assails the
President because of the renovation of the
White House and because Of what be
terms the Presidents yacht. The Presi.

White House was provided for by con-
gressional appropriation. The Texas
Senator'S BROOKLYN speech made votes for
Mr.. Roosevelt, in the beginning of the
campaign. and the West Virginia whirl.
wind oratory will doubtless have the same
effect. The abuse Of the President will
bring out the Republican vote.

HOW IT is R0BBINe.

HOW ~ 10 nOD0iCos
The Democratic platform declares that
protection is robbery; and the speakers.of
that party are trying to make the voters
believe that the declaration is true. But
business conditions and unimpeachsble
facts contradict the declaration.
There is an old and truthful saying that
"a fair exchange is no robbery" The re-
suits that have come from the protective
policy of the Republican party during the
past six years have again demonstrated
the truthfulness of the saying. A so.cslled
robbsr tariff was put in operation as soon
as possible after Mr.. McKinley's insugura-
ton as President. How has it robbed the
people of all classes? The farmers have
been receiving for their products the best
prices they have eyer gotten, and have
not been made to pay any higher prices
for manufactured articles. The Democrats
lave argued and are still arguing that
protective tariff benefits the manufacturer
and robs the farmer and laboring man.
Facts and statistics show that the farmers
are the persons who have benefited and
that the manufacturers are the ones to
complain, if any complaint should justly
he made Our Democratic friend, are
now trying to dissatisfy the workingmen
with the cry that the cost of living has
been increased by the advance in the
prices of agricultural products.
How has the Republican tariff robbed
the workingmanP 1t has given him all
the work he wanted, and in most instances
placed him in position to fix the rate of
his wages. During the last six years the
Ameri ,an wofkingmen have been receiv-
ing the highest wages they have ever been
paid here and higher than have ever been
paid in any country. So, the protective tariff
has robbed the workingman by giving him
constant employment and heavy increase
in his daily wages. This kind of robbery
may be very wicked but it ought to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the wage-earner.
There is another class of citizens who
have been robbed in a. peculiar way by the
''robbsr tariff" That is made up of men
who had investments in timber and min
eral lands. During the past six years the
increase in the value Of such holdings in
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
other Southern States has been enormous.
This increase In real estate values has
brought comfortable fortunes to some and
large fortunes to others. Democrats and
Republicans alike have been the benef-
Charles of this robbery, but the Democrats
denounce the system, yet, jOyfully pocket
the stolen goods.
1t is undeniable that all classes Of our
people and all sections of the Union have
been more prosperous and happy during
the past seven years than at any former
period in our history as nation. Could
this condition have come and continued 30
long under an economic policy that is dis
honest. Instead Of being robber tariff
bringing calamity to the people, it has
proved an honest tariff, full of blessings
for all classes of our citizens, except the
Democratic politicians.

Origin of Grammar schools.

Grammar schools" are schools which
were founded TO teach grammar at a
time when the word had a very differ
ent meaning from that which it bears
at the present time.
Grammar is the science which inves-
tigates the laws of language and the
art OF using it correctly, and one would
naturally imagine that a grammar
school must necessarily be a school
where the English language is taught,
but it is not so.
In the middle ages, when the clergy
were the only educated men, Latin was
the language in which knowledge was
preserved and handed down either oral
ly or In writing, so grammar came to
mean the grammar Of the Latin tongue
and grammar school was an endow-
ed school for teaching Latin (and after
ward Creek to poor scholars, to fit
them for universities"

Antiquity of the AcrOstic.

The acrostic certainly dates back to
about $50 B. c., when the names OF
the plays in the arguments of the
Comedies" of Plautus We're indicated
by this ingenious device.
Cicero, about hundred years later
in his treatise ''De Divinatione," says
1.-THE verses Of the sibyls are distin-
guished by an arrangement which the
Greeks call acrostic. From the first
letters of each verse in order are form
ed words which express some particu-
lar meaning, as in the case of some
lines of Ennius, the initial letters of
which make this Ennius wrotev"
A similar device was employed in
some of the Hebrew psalms, notably in
the One Hundred and Nineteenth
where each verse begins with the let
ter which stands at the title of its
separate part throughout the twenty
two divisions of the psalm.

Christmas SuperstitiOns.

There are many Christmas supersti-
tons long held as articles of faith that
are to be recalled-hOw that oxen kneel
in their stalls at midnight on Christ
mas eve in adorat ton Of the Nativity
and for one hour have the power of
speech; for that one hour, too, the lost
spirits have rest. Judas sleeps, Herod
ceases to clank his chains, the daugh-
ter of Herodias may pause in the dance
in which she is condemned to spin for
ever, and Pilates ghost ceases it's wan
behring's on Mount Pilatus. 1t wars be
lieved, too, that the sound Of church
bells could be heard wherever church
had stood, though no trace remain, and
that ON that pregnant night one sleep
ing in a manager would see his future

Christmas Hints.

A simple and tasteful homemade
picture frame may be constructed from
common gas pipe cut into suitable
length and tied together at the cor
ners with shoe strings. A neat paper
weight may be made by wrapping half
a brick in paper such as butchers use
and tying it with red tape. A dainty
towel rack may be fabricated from a
baseball bat and two cigar boxes.
Shellac the boxes and sandpaper the
bat. An ordinary cobblestone hand
painted with lampblack and household
ammonia makes an excellent door
weight. A novel pipe rack for fas-
tidious smokers may be made from a
small strip of one inch plank. Bore
holes in it for the stems of the pipes
to pass through. A dried muskmelon
shell makes an attractive tobacco jar.

Machinery Tones.

Engineers judge of the condition Of
their machinery by the tone 1t gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
a particular tone of it's own. The en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from it at once ex-
cites a suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter; he may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone Of
his machine will be at once perceptible
and, being instantly recognized, will
cause him to start on an immediate in
