ATEEMENDOUSTOTAL
TWO BILLIONS OF MONEY NOW
IN CIRCULATION.
Increase of Five Hundred Millions In
the Fast Tire years of tbo Amount of
Sound Currency In tlio Hands of the
People.
There has been a gain of about
$500,000,000 In the amount of money In
circulation in the United States in the
past two years of restored protection
and prosperity. The figures of this
gigantic increase of material wealth
and of money in the hands of the people
ple have a suggestiveness that is start
ling. They show what the country
escaped when in 1S9G it chose between
William McKinley and William J.
Bryan. They are also peculiarly sug
gestive in connection with the presi
dential contest next year.
One more financial month like No
vember will bring the total of money
in circulation in the United States past
the two billion dollar line. On Nov.
1 the total money In circulation was
$1,963,716,148 , and on Dec. 1 , $1.985-
9309G4 ; , an increase of $22,214,816 In
the month. A gain of even two-thirds
this amount in the present month
would bring the total money in circu
lation in the United States past the
two billion dollar line for the flrst time
in our history.
The steady and rapid growth in the
circulation of money in the United
States , both gold and total of all kinds
of money , is indicated in a compila
tion made by the treasury bureau of
statistics from data supplied in the an
nual and monthly statements of the
bureau of loans and currency of the
treasury department , showing the
amount of gold and total money in. cir
culation in the United States at an
nual periods during the past twenty
years. It shows an increase in that
length of time from $138,641,410 of gold
and gold certificates to § 778,385,303 ,
and of total circulation from ? 816,2GG-
721 to $1,985,930,964 , with the prospect ,
as already indicated , that the two
billion dollar line will shortly ba
crossed. While the general growth in
that time has been remarkable , that of
the past three years is especially
marked. On July 1. 1896. the total
money in circulation in the United
States was $1.509.725,200 , and on Dec.
1 , 1S99 , $1,985,930,964 , an increase dur
ing three and a half years of $476,205.-
7G4 , or 31 % per cent ; while the gold
coin and certificates increased from
$498.449,242 to $778,388,303. an increase
of $279,9'39,061 , or 56 per cent.

gold coin and certificates , and the
total money of all kinds , in circulation
on Jan. 1 of each year from 1879 to

\Vliy Times Arc Better.
Warner Miller says : "In all my
business career times were never bet
ter than they are now. " We have
never had so complete and scientific
a system of protection of American in
terests In operation as we have now.
That explains in part why times are
better now than ever before. For the
other part , we have never until now
seen the completed effects of the pro
tective tariff. In the past we have
been struggling , by means of the pro
tection of American industries , to build
up American enterprises , to put them
on their feet. Today , in- many in
stances , this has been accomplished ,
and the sole duties of the protective
tariff in regard to these enterprises
3s to preserve to them what they have
already achieved , and to give them a
chance to branch out , now that , at
Bast , they stand on a firm basis. Times
are better than ever before , and they
are likely to remain so because pro
tection Is likely to continue to be the
policy of the country.
The Real I.aco Stngc.
A trade paper'says : "It is remark
able what a large amount of real lace
Is being taken for the holidays. Scarfs ,
handkerchiefs and yard goods are sell
ing briskly. " It is facts such as this
which enable us to keep track of our
national prosperity. The first effects
of the Dingley law were seen in the
larger buying of what we commonly
call the necessities of life and in the
disappearance of free soup kitchens
and other such products of tariff re
form. The next step In prosperity was
evidenced by the more active buying
of the so-called comforts of life. Then
came the paying off of debts and the
satisfaction of mortgages. After that
came the time when the trade in those
things Vhich properly come under the
head of luxuries showed large gains.
The purchase of the more common and
Inexpensive luxuries naturally came
first , but , as the Dingley law grows
oTcer , the people proceed step by step
to tlio purchase of more , and more
expensive luxuries.
It appears from the trade movement
noted in the report above quoted that
we have now reached the real lace
stage , and as every one who has ever
paid for a piece of real lace knows , that
Is a pretty advanced stage , as repre
sented by the ampunt of money which
'changes hands. People supply them
selves with almost everything else
*
wished for before they buy real lace.
The remarkable activity along this line
is merely the trade method of saying
that these are unprecedentedly pros
perous times.

Kocortt Mortgages In Nebraska Show
Kxcoptlonal Prosperity.
A great truth was spoken when the
Kansas City Journal exclaimed : "Ne
braska , is as prosperous as Iowa , but
her people are too much blinded by
Bryanism to admit the fact at the
polls. " The records of mortgages filed
and released each year in Nebraska
during the past seven years ought to
be sufficient in Itself to demonstrate to
the people of that state that it Is under
Republicanism that they prosper. The
record Is as follows :
Filed. Released.

18S7 15,630,721 22,215,759
1898 21.303.855 27,498,070
The Nebraska business man , farmer
or professional man who could look
upon such a record and then vote for
Bryan is indeed blind. The figures
speak for themselves , and it Is very
plain that the return of prosperity has
struck the people of Nebraska. It has
enabled them to materially reduce
their indebtedness during the past few
years , and it is putting them on their
feet again for -a fresh start. Before
1896 the record shows that the aggre
gate amount of the mortgages filed
each year was much greater than the
aggregate of releases , clearly demon
strating that in those days of hard
times the people of Nebraska were
slipping deeper and deeper Into the
swamp of debt , while beginning with
McKinley's election the tide turned.
With the coming of McKinley the people
ple of Nebraska began to not only
make a good living for themselves , but
they commenced to lay something by
and soon they began paying off their
debts. The people of Nebraska have ,
indeed , had their eyes closed by Bryan
when they will permit him to make
them believe that the paying off of
their debts and the burning up of their
mortgages has been an injury to them !

A Lincoln ( Neb. ) newspaper is rap

rate computation. In 1895 , under the
Wilson tariff , wool was 9 cents per
pound , while under'the Dingley tariff
it is 12. Now common people say that
wool is 3 cents per pound higher. Not

DO NOT ABANDON PROTECTION
A Bridge That Has Served So Well Is
a Good Bridge to Swear By.
Notwithstanding all the object les
sons that have been administered by
the protective tariff , there are those
who still preach free trade , for which
there is no justification 'beyond the
philanthropic idea of helping the for
eign laborer.
It Is every man's duty to help his
brother , but In order to accomplish
this It does not occur to the average
mind 'that it is incumbent to lower
oneself to the level of the brother.
Level up , and not down , is the true
principle upon which humanity should
act.
When the foreign laborer makes an
attempt to better his own condition
it will be time enough for the Ameri
can laborer to lend him a helping hand.
Under free trade labor in this coun
try played second fiddle to that of
Europe ; under protection It has al
ways manipulated the lirst violin. Is
there any reason why it should now
voluntarily relegate Itself once more
to second place ?
The argument of the free trader Is
that inasmuch as America can under
sell Europe in her own markets it is
time to eliminate protection.
If this argument is good , then the
American manufacturer should discard
his improved machinery , reduce the
pay of skilled labor to the level of
that allowed the roustabout , and gen
erally impress upon his employes that
their sole duty is to put in so many ,
hours a day.
The fact of the matter is that pro
tection afforded American manufactur
ers the opportunity to advance their
*
own interests , while at the same time
enabling them to better the condition
of their employes. That they did this
is infinitely to their credit.
Protection is the bridge that enables
American industries to reach their
present high efficiency , and it would
be a crime to abandon it so long as
there is the shadow of danger of any
other nation successfully invading our
home markets. St Louis Star.
PROTECTION AND CURRENCY.
The Tariff Being Right the Money Ques
tion Will Take Care of Itself.
The gr.eat blunder made by Cleve
land and the Democratic party in 1893
was in trying to maintain the gold
standard while throwing wide open
the trade doors of the American Union
to foreigners. The consequences as
serted themselves almost instantane
ously. As the foreign goods poured
Into the country gold flowed out , and
in a short time we were suffering all
the ills which manifest themselves
whenever apprehension concerning the
sufficiency of the supply of basic money
exists.
This state of affairs continued until
after the election of McKinley gave the
country assurance that the tariff would
be so adjusted that the wants of the
country would be satisfied with the
products of American workshops. The
easing up was at once noticeable , but
the full effect of the benefit was not ex
perienced until exports largely exceed
ed Imports. Then a sense of security
took the place of distrust , and the people
ple ceased to concern themselves about
the gold question. This state of mind
will continue so long as the Repub
lican party is true to its traditions and
adheres steadfastly to protection , the
great trade regulator. As long as we
impose bur tariffs judiciously we need
not fear an adverse trade balance , and
while it is in our favor there will al
ways be plenty of gold in the country
to meet all currency requirements. The
lesson of the situation ought to im
press itself on our legislators. It Is
a very simple one. It is : Stick to pro
tection and favorable trade balances
and the money question will take care
of itself. San Francisco Chronicle.
Marine Legislation Demanded.
The extent to which the people of
the United States are dependent on
foreign shipping for their sea-borne
commerce furnishes a conclusive rea
son for prompt action looking toward
the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine. In these days of
open and opening doors , when the
United States is preparing to control
the trade of her new dependencies ,
and besides is clamoring for access to
other and bigger markets , it is not
creditable to us as a nation that we
are carrying in American vessels not
more than one-sixth of the total vol
ume of American over-sea commerce.
It is In the power of the congress
of the United States , acting upon the
recommendation of President McKin
ley in his last annual message , to
bring about a radical change in the
marine situation , to so reverse the
case that five-sixths of American
commerce with foreign countries shall
be carried in American ships. There
is a general demand for legislation
with this end in view. The people ex
pect it.

The Grumbling Slate Fencll.
Such a shrieking and creaking and
groaning as there was in the little dis
trict schoolhouse which stood on a
hillside , and had a tower overlooking
most of the town. So that any of the
children , stopping to play by the way
side , might on looking up see the
finger of the large clock that was there
pointing the hour and warning them
not to loiter. But let us return to
the pencils , for they were having a
great discussion about the vexations of
this life , and we do not want to be too
late to hear some of it. There was one
big girl , called "Goldie , " who looked
ready for a masquerade , in a gaudy ,
golden costume , and although it was
only of paper , she was very , very
proud. Her voice was heard loud
above the others , and as I went in , she
said , "To think I have come to this
a public school all of my brothers and
sisters are in private schools , and I do
not feel at home here. " One little
chubby fellow in red , white and blue
took the other side and was the spokes
man for his friends. "Well , I don't see
that you are any better than the rest
of us , for you must remember 'fine
feathers do not make fine birds , ' neith
er does a dress of gold make a good
slate pencil. " "Oh , it is well enough
for you who have never worn any
thing but that red , white and blue , to
talk about suitable clothes. I know I
am far too good for this company. Do
look at those silly children over there ,
who never make themselves heard.
They will never get any of their rights
if they work along in that simple way.
For my part I will make all the noise
I can. " Just then a great squeak was
heard all over the schoolroom. The
other pencils stopped their work
breathlessly to listen. What would the
master do ? His patience had been
sorely tried by noisy pencils. He
called Janet Lewis , the girl who owned
"Goldie" for these pencils were all
slaves , that were owned by little boys
and girls. "Janet , you may bring your
pencil to me. " "This is a worthless
pencil , " he said , "and must be de
stroyed. It scratches , makes a great
deal of noise , and does not do its work
well. " Whereupon he broke it , and
tossed it In the waste basket. Goldle's
companions saw her fate and thought
how much better It is to do well , and
not complain , wherever we are , for
grumblers always come to a bad end.
After this there was no such trouble in
the school. While Goldie was there ,
there were others weak enough to keep
her company , but with the ceasing of
ner grumbling everything went well.

The Chinese Lily.
Once upon a time there lived in
China two orphan brothers. The elder
Brother , not satisfied with having in-
lerited the larger share of the paren-
; al estate , seized the most valuable
aart of the younger's , leaving him but
i few acres of rocky , unfruitful soil.
The younger brother bore the greedi
ness of the elder one until he was fin
ally overcome with poverty and hun
ger. Then , in great despair , he threw
ilmself upon the ground and lay there
sobbing and bewailing his cruel fate.
Suddenly he heard a sweet voice call-
; ng his name. Opening his eyes he saw
a fairy bending over him , who bade
lim arise , saying : "Thy patience and
forbearance have been noticed , and
now great shall be thy reward. Thou
shalt find riches and fame beneath the
soil where thy head but a moment ago
rested. To reach the treasure will be
no easy task , but be patient and per
severing. Rest not until thou hast
found that which shall cause thee to
3e honored and loved for a thousand
jenerations. " Then the fairy vanished ,
and the young man rubbed his eyes
and looked about him. His rocky
ground was still there , and he was
jubilant with a new-born courage and
hope. With resolute will he applied
himself to the task of finding the bur
led treasure. For many days he dug
faithfully , and finally ho found a flow
er-bulb. Believing In the fairy's prom
ise ho planted the bulb and nourished
It until from It there grew a flower
more delicately sweet and fair than
had ever before been seen. Hundreds
of people came to see the now flower.
Other bulbs sprung from Its roots , and
the young man's name and his bulb-
patch soon became famous. Riches
and honor came to him because ,
strange as It may seem , the flower
would not grow In any other part of
China , and thousands came to buy
from him. He named his treasure the
"Shuey Seen Fah , " or "Flower of thu
Water Fairy" a name that it has ever
since borne , though in common par
lance it is known simply as the "Chi
nese lily. "
In a Minute.
Ethel was out on the long plank
wharf when the dinner bell rang.
She was feeding the cunning little
baby ducks with cracker crumbs.
"I'll go in a minute , " she said to
herself , as' she broke another cracker
Into tiny pieces. But the baby ducks
were hungry , and it was such fun to
feed them that Ethel forgot all about
her dinner and the big brass dinner
bell , just as she had done ever so
many times before. She had only one
cracker left when Bruno came run
ning down the wharf to see her. The
mother duck espied him as he came
bouncing over the planks. "Quack ! "
she called loudly ; and what do you
think ? Every one of those baby
ducklings scrambled and scrambled ,
and Into the water they went with a
splash. "Quack ! " said the mother
duck again and all tne little duckies
swam hurriedly after her and disap
peared among the rushes that grew
by the edge of the pond. "Why ! " ex
claimed Ethel , in astonishment. "They
didn't wait to gobble another piece !
They minded their mother the very
flrst minute she called them ! " Very
still she stood for a second , thinking ;
and then she gave her basket to Bruno
and ran quickly up the wharf , across
the street and into the house. "Late ,
as usual ! " said brother Hal , as Ethel
came into the dining room and took
her seat at the table. "It's 20 minutes ,
Instead of one , that you wanted this
noon , " he continued , as she glanced at
the clock. "But it's the last time I'll
be late ! " said Ethel , decidedly , ' "cause
'cause It is ! " And Ethel kept her
word. She had learned her lesson and
learned it well , and nobody but the
big white mother duck knew who
taught it to her. And I'm very sure
that she will always keep the secret.
Because , why ? She can't tell it , that's
all.
Rabbits.
Somebody , very learned , once took
the trouble of weighing the brains of
a number of animals and found that
the brain of a tame rabbit weighed less
for its size than the brain of any other
known creature much less than that
of a wild rabbit. This Is not surpris
ing , for old br'er rabbit out in the
woods needs to be a clever and enter
prising being in order to pick up a
living , but the tame rabbit is pro
tected from foxes and from want by
his house and his wire netting. Yet a
tame white rabbit can be accustomed
to anything even to a fox terrier , as'
one boy has found out. In fact , the
terrier is rather perplexed at the
friendly advances of the rabbit. The
order of things is therefore reversed.
Rabbits are pretty pets and are easy
to keep. Moreover , a boy may make
considerable money from his rabbits
if he is shrewd. They need to be fed
cabbage , lettuce , bran and oats. They
love milk thistle , dandelions and such
food , and after the young rabbits at
tain a good weight are readily sold.
But most rabbit owners become at
tached to their pets and regard with
horror their disposal to the butcher.
Consequently they sell them only as
pets , and find a more restricted market.
Know When Sunday Conies.
It is an undoubted fact that many
animals are able to tell from other
days "the day that comes betwixt the
Saturday and Monday. " The trades
man's dog that accompanies its owner
on week days makes no attempt to
turn out on Sunday. Sparrows and
other birds that come to school play
grounds for the unconsidered trifles
they may pick up at lunchetra time do
not show up on Sunday. Ravens ,
crows and rooks are most fearless and
do most damage on Sunday , well know
ing that the man with the gun is an
absentee on that day. A dog that
visits for his private ends the baker's
shop every week day morning stays
at home on Sunday. Other dogs that
have been tied up on Sunday have been
known to hide on Saturday
to avoid this interruption of their free
dom.
