The extent to which the circulating
ami I urn of the Uoiled State hai
been exiaD(led ia receat years is one
of ibo marvelti of tho liiue. The
monthly cireulallon ttatemeot Jusl
iwued by thu treasury department
howi that the general aloe k of money
of all aorti in the country on August
I, 1903, was $2,695,440,174, which
waa again of $7,290,553, In (he mouth.
The amount of the money la actual
circulation on August 1 was 92,392,
013,496, gain of nearly 16,000,000
in the month and of over $121,000,.
000 in twelve months. On the basia
of the estimated population of the
country on August 1 this was pei
capita circulation of $29.65, which is
the highest figure ever touched.
In the middle of 1 896, at the time
of Bryan's reign of terror, the per
capita circulation was $21.10. .It has,
with few minor Interruption!), been
Increasing ever since. Bryan's defeat
in November, 1896, sent 'the cir
culation up above the point at which
it rested in the early days of bin
canvas, when there was some dread
that be would carry the country. It
went up again Just after the republi
cans entered power lu Mari-b, lay 7.
The general tendency ha been
upward ever since, though there was
a decline seversl times in those years,
but only slighty, and for few weeks
at a time. Tbe $29.65 at which the
circulation stood at tbe begiuniug of
the present month will probably be
exceeded at tbe beginning of Sep
tember. The chances are that the
1 30 point in tbe expansion will be
reached before thcendof tbecalendar
year 1903.
Moreover, not only has the cir
culation increased much faster than
the population, which is also grow
lug rapidly these dayj, but tbe gold
Ingredient of It Is growing much
faster than that of the currency. Of
course, in these dsys of republican
financial stability and prosperity, all
urls of currency are a good as gold,
but it Is well to keep tbe fsct In mind
that the gold eleiueot, of the circulat
ing medium hi far more abundant

now saying that tbe curreucy is not
adequate to the demands of trade.

that waste prunes could be profitably
converted into a fino vinegar was
first demonstrated by Prof. Pernoti

germs for the purpose would be

bulletin and tbe germs have been

Every truod citizen will endorse
the stand taken by President Rooce-
velt in his. loiter to Governor Durbin,
and will approv every seutinieut
uttered therein. Whatever of Impul
siveness may be charged to the Pre
sident for his action, is more than
balanced by the gravity of the causes
that made it necessary.
The Gazutte has been out-spoken In
its condemnation of mob violence
aud protest against the disposition in
high places to palliate the crime of
the lyncher, it has branded the
leaders of the mobs as anarchists and
eall'd upon all citizen to have rever
ence for the law.
In beginning bis letter toGovernor
Durhin, the President said: "I feel,
my dear sir, that you have made all
men your debtors who believe, as all
far-seeing men must, that the well-

a general cataclysm in the financial
world, and they disposed of their
American securities in 1898 95 at
great losses, Americans in most in
stances being the buyers. In the
convulsion, which lasted till the re
publicans entered power in 1S97,
many hundreds of millions worth of
American properties thus came into
the hands of American owners, and
in the advance that set in Immedi
ately afterward Americans were
large gainers.
Here is the principal reason why
London is expressing no alarm over
the little disturbance on Wall street.
Tho United States .has also a good
reason for unconcern. No serious
consequences are likely to come from
the break In stocks. The crops are
good, all the leedina industries are
busy and the general business public
throughout the country is con fid
ent. Nobody is frightened at the
outlook. The wise owner of the
Mocks will hold them. At present
price most of them are a very good
investment. An advance is sure to
como before long, for the situation
has bullish factors which must soon
assert themselves. No financial con
vulsion ever took place when the
general business conditions were as
solid and safe as they are at this
time. St. liouis Glolw-Dsmocrat.

AMERICANS OIVS AMERICA,
London say she is not interested
in tbe Wall street flurry. She has
no need to be. England owns com
paratively little American specula

There was a day, and that not very
remote, when British Investors had
very large holdings of property on
this side of the Atlantic. They
owned so many slocks and bonds In
the United Stales, lo fact, that some
timid or blind persons feared that
England would soon die-fate the pol
itics and shape the social lift of this
country.
The panic of 1S93 led to vast sales
of American properties by British
owners. In the crash at lint time

as with any form of despotism. Of
course, mob violence Is simply one
form of anarchy ; and anarchy is now,
as It always will be, the handmaiden
and forerunner of tyranny.

At a meeting of tho Roseburg
Board of Trado Monday night it was
voted to make a protest against the
withdrawal of Government laud in

from entry, and it is believed for the .
purpose of adding them to tho gieat

it will displace hundreds of se-tilers
and en try men now .located thereon

development of this ortion of the

to Invite other Boards of Trade and
imilsr organizations of this state to
join in a general protest against such
withdrawal of lands, copies of such
protests to be addressed to President
Roosevelt, Secretary Hitchcock and
the United State Senators and
Representatives from Oregon.
