OUR SUPPLY OF GOLD.


been largely increased during dhe pres
ent wear. In the first place there mas
been a constant stream OF the yellow
metal from the nations now engaged
at war. this gold representing partlai
payments for the vast quantity OIL
foodstuffs, munitions and other sup
plies taken from this country Dur
ing the recent month Of October, Tor
instance-the last month for winch
complete statistics are yet available
there was imported into this nation
gold to the extent of $50, 0,O0O,OOO, a
feure that far exceeds any previous
monthly record in the history OF TINS
nation The first ten months OF the
present year also established new
record in this respect, total gold I'M
ports amounting to $345,OOO,OOO, near
lv two and one-half times as much as
ever before was received during ike
period and seven times the average
imports for the past fifteen years.
Moreover, gold exports for the same
ten months this year were compara-
tivelv trivial Qess than $l6,OOO,0Oo).
And as gold production has been go
ing on at the rate of $6,OO0,OO0 a
month. the total gold stock OF the
country has been increased close to
$3gO,O00,O00, with two months OF the
calendar year yet to be accounted for
With such an unusual flood Of gold
to swell the supply already held IN
this country, it is no wonder that ma
tional prosperity is fast growing and
expanding, or that the banks are talk
ing of an over-supply and "too much
idle money" In fact, the plethora OF
gold now held by the banks is appar-
emily causing some of them to con-
ceal their assets to some extent, fact
that becomes evident by a close analy-
sis. a statement made by the New
York banks. During recent week
not less than $18,250,0O0 in gold was
received in consignments from Eur
ope. Yet these statements showed an
apparent reduction of $1l 100000 in
gold held by the big metropolitan
banks, discrepancy explained by the
statement that evidently the bankers
are reluctant to make their gold show
ing too strong, fearing an adverse ef-
n -. nj thnrptnra
are finding ways to conceal the hoard
of yellow metal by crediting 1t to
special accounts and not reporting 1t
in their reserves.
But the gold is there, and the stock
is being steadily and largely increas-
ed. and sooner or later it finds Its
way into legitimate channels OF trade,
industry and finance. Already bus
mess is commencing to feel the stlm-
ulating effect of this wonderful sup
plv of gold, every dollar of which is
theoretically supposed to be good for
at least So worth of additional credit
in regular business. In fact the ii
nancial strength and stability of this
nation never before were placed on so
solid a basis. nor were future pros
poets ever more bright and promising.
1t generally is held that this nation
faces an era of great-of unprecedent-
ed prosperity, and with such a won
derful supply of gold. more coming
all the time, and other conditions
equally favorable. one readily is in
clined to believe the most rosy predic-
tions.

The republican party will come back
into power in 1916 not because politi
cal leaders want it to win, but because
the rank and file of the American peo
pie are convinced that republican
principles and administration are best
for the industrial welfare and public
service of the country. 1t will be a
victory of the people and not a vic
tory of the leaders.

to our expectations. The beautiful
soft lights Of the alter. the miniature
stable witt, the holy mcn, the lambs.
and Holy Mary with the babe ii,
swaddling clothes were devincly i'm

FIR. Bernard, the fine singing of the

by Dan Howard combined to give
the congregation ample reason fol
feeling thankful for answering the
melodious summons OF the chime:

Prcupinc Tail, the deal-mut,

Yates: while on Ills way to the place
uf Theodore Loon. one OF his rcla-

When captured Porc1pinc Tail
was armed with only a % culibre
rifle and made no resistance. In
fact it appears that lie was glad to
be taken in charge as he had travel
ed several days without food. and
was weak from exposure.
\ charge OF murder will be filed
against Porcupinc Tail by Supcrin-
tcndcnt Covcy, as soon as United

held before l.. S. Commissioner

dian is being held al the Agency
guarelhouse under heavy guard un-
ill sllcll time as he is given into
custody OF the Federal authorities.
Porcupinc Tail through deaf and
dumb interpreters claims that the
shooting was purely accidental.
He became angcred at Il cousin,
named Joe Dog, who came to the
place to borrow a horse. In rcmon-
with his mother he hand
led a rifle which accidentally ex-
ploded, the bullet striking his moth
er. After the shooting he broke
