The annual report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has Just been
sent out, in a book of II6 pages.
1t is for the fiscal year ending June
so, 1907. 1t is very full, and in
teresting, in its statements and
shows our national financial situa-
ton to be in sound and healthy
condition. 1t is believed a con-
densed statement of its chief feat
ures will form interesting and use
full reading matter for your many
readers.
The whole amount of the nation
al revenue for the year mentioned
was SS46,725,339. From Customs,
$500, 233, 500; from internal rev.
enue, $500, 600, 72o, and from the
other So resources, S245,725. The
Government expenditure for the
the same were S762, 488, 853, leav-
ing the large surplus of So, $50,
$50.
The gold coinage for year at our
four minis was S95,9I6,324. Silver
subsidiary coinage, halves, quar-
tiers and dimes, was SI2 .q74534,
and minor coins, S3,3Io,453.IS.
The whole amount of coin money
in circulation June 80, 1907, was,
gold, S574,459,o86; silver dollars,
sS8,422,957; subsidiary silver
coins, SI27,46I, 229.
The amount of minor coins in
circulation was not given.
Cold certificates, S677,295,9 o9;
silver certificates, S464 ,349,568.
Whole amount of this class of cur
rency was SI,I4I,o45,477. Ma
tional Bank notes in circulation
S595,I25,865. The amount of
money of all kinds was given at
s., $50, sos, 500 by the secre, airy
About S32.oo per capita. That is
so much for each of our S., 900, 900
people.
The net increase of our money
in the past year was SI44,5S5,9Io.
The increase Of gold certificates
was $40, 35749o. Decrease of
of silver certificates was 50, 600, 88I.
The dislike for silver has lessened
its production as we'll as its coinage
but it is like gold is constitutional
meney.
Our constitution provides for
gold and silver, not gold or silver,
The real objection IS its cumber
Someness.
The whole number of National
Banks organized since the Nation
al Bank act of Congress. 1863, to
June so. 1907, was 8,853, but 2,27I
have gone out of existence for diff
ferent lite and useful activity at
the time mentioned. There were
then in circulation National Bank
notes to the extent of S5o5,I23,-
500.
There now remains in the gov
eminent vaults at Washington the
sum of S677,295,9 o9 in gold for
the redemption of that amount OF
gold certificates and S464, $40, sos.
of silver dollars TO redeem that
amount of silver certificates. And
it can be added to the sum OF
$3.50, 900, 900 for the redemption OF
greenback currency which has
been our chief currency as legal
tender money for the last As years.
Might not fair percentage Of
this large dormant money, with
propriety and safety, be put in
useful circulation among our peo-
pie who are now in want of more
money for their relief? There
may be money enough but not en-.
ough in circulation.

THE NOBLE RED MAN !
The Idaho Falls Post Pays the
Indian a Compliment On
His Honesty.

1t was fact known to our fathers
Of early times that the word Of an
Indian given, as pledge, could be de-
pended on at any time, and not even
fear of death could interfere with him
being true to his pledge. Time and
gain has the redskin given his pledge
that he would pc at such and such a
SHOT in the wilds on certain time,
and he might have to travel many
weary miles, encounter the gray
wolves of the plains, eudure suffering
from the hot sands of the desert, fight
through the storms of the mountains,
travel at night and skulk in the prush
to avoid a foe in the day, but he would
be there if his scalp remained on his
head. Given in friendship Los word
is as good as a national bank bond, and
while ordinarily he is more cautious in
pledging his word than au experienced
politician who is being interviewed,
when once given he means what he
says, and few Indians have ever viola
/ ted a pledge Of this character.
Frank Randall had little expert
ence with one the other day. Frank
is deputy game warden for the region
up in the neighborhood OF Camas creek
and that section OF the country, and
ran across a band OF Indians several
days ago who had been trapping beay-
er near Medicine Lodge. He arrested
seven Of them. One of them could
not pay though he thoroughly under.
stood the operation Of the law in the
matter.
The Indians were ordered back on
the reservation. The fine had beer
assessed against the Indian. He main
tained his stolid silence for moment
when the faraway look of the old roy
lug days came into his eyes, nature as
serted supremacy and he became th'
man the old free life Back went hi
head. his voice rang clear and calm
but there was no mistaking the hgh
in his eyes.

Campaign Fund of Republicans.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 2S. De-
tails Of bow the republican campaign
fund was collected and used formed
an interesting part OF the conference
between PreSident-elect Taft and
National Chairman Hitchcock here
today. Mr.. Hitchcock explained that
while the total sum rightfully cred
lted to the national committee was
about $1,000, 900, as a matter of fact
The committee fund was but 81 900,
OOO. The excess over this amount
was collected by the state oTganiza-
tlons and turned back to them by
tue national committee for use.
Hhl'e the fact appears in the official
publication under the law, Mr.. Taft
was told that its significance did not
appear in the published statement.
Five separate contributions were
made by c. p. Taft, which made hin
the largest single contributor. Al
OF these, Mr.. Hitchcock explained
we're made at times when the cam
paiIn committee was without funds
and when the demand for them wa
greatest.
Mr., Hitchcock arrived this morn
lul accompanied by Charles II. Boyn
ton Of New York, both of whom vii
remain here until Friday. The ma
uonai chairman dined with Mr Tai
tonight. He said his tine Tecentl
