A BILLION-DOLLAR COUNTRY.
A few years ago one of our law
making bodies was stigmatized as a
'billion-dollar congress." The Aruer
icau people have now a billion-
dollar country, says the Globe -Democrat.
It is a billion-dollar
countrv in a double sense. The
money in circulation, which has been
increasing rapidly and continuously
for a long time, was so close to the
$2,000,000,000 line at the beginning
of December that it must have
passed that marlc by this time. Th'is
is, of course, far in advance of any
point ever touched previously by the
country's circulating medium.
It is a matter of profound gralifi
cation, too, that much the greater
part of the increase in circulation is
made by gold. Just twenty years
have pas.se d since the resumption of
specie payments. On the first day
or 1862 the lieasury and the batiks
of the country ceased to pay out
gold and silver on demand, and both
of these metals at once went to a
premium. A few weeks after the
beginning of that year, or on Feb
ruary 25th, the first of the laws was
passed which created the greenbacks,
and as this currency grew in volume
the gap between its face value and
that of gold broadened. On July 11,
1804, $2.85 in greenbacks or any
other American currency was re
quired to' buy $1 in gold. That
date, which was near the darkest
period of the war of secefsion, taw
American currency drop to the
lowest level it ever touched.
In financial credit and general
political prestige the people who are
living today see a widely different
country from that which those alive
in 1862-78 saw. The downward
movement of currency and the up
ward movement of gold as quoted
in terms of currency, which began in
1862, and which culminated in 18G-1,
was reversed as soon as the war
ended in 18Gu, and, with a few
temporary reactions, the gulf be
tween the paper and the metal nar
rowed. It disappeared altogether on
January 1, 1879, when the gold re
sumption law of 1875 went into
operation, and has been absent ever
since. Hut the change tor the better
since the beginning of ,1879 has, in
one respect, been as marked as it
was between 1862 and that time.
The entire amount of money iu
circulation in 1879 was, in round
figures, $810,000,000, while it is
42,000,000,000 now, The gold part
of the money, however, has grown
in n far higher ratio than has the rest
of the circulation, for the gold total
of $138,000,000 twenty ye.ua ngo
lias Increased to an nggrogn'.e of
$778,000,000 at the present time.
Tom is a cause for congratulation by
the entire American people. No
The cause of the Carbonado ex
plosion is the old, old story of
collier disasters a man lighting
his pipe, and opening the door of his
safety lamp or drawing the flame
through the screen for the purpose.
Il lis doubtful if this example of Ben
Zeldcr, the man who is said to have
been so eager to smoke, will have a
deterring effent upon miners who
use tobacco. Or rather, judging from
previous successive accounts of mine
explosions from this cause, there are
very few miners who will not smoke
in the future because of this warning,
since only those who perish under the
instruction learn the lesson thorough
ly. W. W. Statesman.

A startling incident, of which Mr.

"I was in a most dre.dful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sidej, no appetite gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
triend advised 'Electric Bitters' ; and to
my great juy and surprise, the first
bottle made a decided improvement. I
continued their use for thtec weeks, and
am now a well man. 1 know thev saved
my life, and robbed the grave uf another j
