seems to be getting on a better basis

Motor. and Prices.

The automobile is largely responsible
for several noteworthy disturbances in
the commodity markets. It lifted the
price of rubber to an almost intoler-
able figure for the common uses. Case
line is another commodity whose price

Prices Of leather are now reaching

IN the luxurious upholstering of auto
carriages is said to be an important
factor. The Shoe and Leather Re
porter notes that the price Of "spready
steer hides" advanced to 17A cents,
while during the paper money infa-
ton period OF the civil war the highest
price reached was 14h cents, which
had stood as the high record in all the
succeeding years until now. We may

In the early days Of Leadville there
was a singular character living by
the name Of Major Martin McGinnis.
The major was the important man of
the camp, and when any distinguished
parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin McGinnis and
presented with the freedom of the
camp on a gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over to examine and to report
upon the mineral deposits of this 10
cality. They were received by Major
Martin McGinnis, who put them in car.
riages and took them around the camp.
As they were going up California
Gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out Of the carriage and commenced
to hammer and chisel upon a large
black bowlder that lay alongside tile
road. The major watched them ses-
tculating to n another, and he final

THE NATIONS FINANCES.

New York Tribune: The trca-
sury's August statement puts the
croakers and deficit hunters to rout.
The democratic congressional com
mittee has been circulating IAN array
of figures to show that the Fifty
ninth congress at its last session was
guilty Of gross extravaganza and bad
made appropriations greatly in ex-
cess of the governments prospective
income. MIR. Bryan must have re-
ceived some OF this campaign litera-
ture and been misled by it; for in
mis- Madison Square Garden speech
he also accused the republican ma
jority in congress Of overdrawing it
credit in the treasury and pluneing
the country into unWarranted and
reckless expenditure. AS we pointed
out when congress adjourned, the
increase in appropriations complained
of was apparent rather than real,
and involved n 10 actual disburse-
lnents which could not easily be met
out of the governments Current in
come. Last year, in spite of SINH
lar pessimistic prophecies backed
by similarly mistaken calculations,
the treasury more than paid its
way, earning a surplus of about
S25, 600, OOc. The August statement
indicates that not only will all this
years demands be met with ease,
but a surplus balance nearer $780,
600, 600 than s25, 600, 900 will be ac-
cumulated. The government in fact
instead of %overruning its income is
now laying up annually a handsome
savings fund out of which to meet
its maturing Indebtedness
Augustus record was favorable be-
yond expectation. A surplus OF 49,
1851, 500 is reported, against a deficit
in August, OF 1905, of 81, 773, 000-a
net gain Of nearly sl3, coo, 600 AS we
explained a month ago, part of this
excess was due to the accidents of
bookkeeping for the Central Pacific
railroads annual settlement note Of
q, 100, 600, due August 1, was paid
last year a day earlier and credited
to July receipts. Taking treasury
operations in July and August, 1905,
however, and comparing them with
the operations of the last two months,
a net gain appears Of S!3, 500, 000. On
August 81, 1905, there was a deficit
Of s1S, $50, $50. On August 81, 1905,
there was a deficit Of only SIS, 353, 900.
Last year it was not until March or
April that receipts began to outfoot
expenditures. This year by Septem-
Der 10 the treasury will be beginning
to accumulate a surplus.
The main cause of the betterment
SO conspicuous this year is the steady
expansion of customs receipts. Gus
tonls collections in July ard August
we're s55, 1876, 900, against s47, III 900
in July and AUGUST, 1905. Internal
revenue receipts have also increased,
the net gain being $1,000, 600. Alto
gether the 1905 receipts have exceed
ed those OF 1905 by 81, 900, 900. In
the meantime, in plain contradic-
tion Of the democratic campaign
arithmetic, the governments ex-
pendituIes have actually decreased
by 81, 100, 600. Prudent and economi-
cal Registration has, therefore, been
an important factor in lettering
