Estimateh based upon aivurstely deter ujliud nam -Ikiw that tlie stork of guld oolD Aid gold bullion in the United States at the present lime $ not far trotn Si, 000 000,000 8985.463.C05 Of thin sum nenn 980,000 000 is iu the Treasury and ?JOO,000 000 i tne Mew lork t;uy oimks, wmie the re mainder Is distributed auioiiK h inks of de posit and of saving, iu other institution aod in private repositories throughout the country. The DirtMOg sinnitjciuca of this enor mous and unprecedented total ill 81,000,000 000 gold wil' appeal when we uta that it is a larger amount of gold than is possessed i y Any nation: that it is about one-fourth of the entire world's stock of the metal, it is greater sum than is held by Great Britai and Russia combined. It is within 8150,000 000 of the entire amount pressed by Great Britain and Germany, and it is 8200 000,000 larger than the sum held by France which, next to the Uuited States, is the largest gold holding country iu the world Not only does the possession of this gold makes this couutry pre-eminently rich, bu our exis ina: ecoi omic condi i ia are such as to enable' us to maintain oui u MiadttMJ and so long as we ciin'iuue In a large creditor nation and mo long as w irJatnom ly aanere to our policy oi moieOtKM mi finaucial position will remain unassailable The most maivelous tact in connection with our possession of this billion dollars 1 gold is the rapidity with which more lha one-third of it has been accumulated Three yers ago the holdings of gold coi and bullion in the United States were, i round figures, 8600,000,000. Since then the net importations of the metal have been 8225,000.000, aud the remainder of the in crease has been made up from the product of our urines, less the amount ued In the arts, and by the release of gold from hoards Another significant fact is that the popu lar sentiment regarding gold has been en llieiy reversed in three years. For ex ample, in 1896. until fhp President'i! elec tlon, there was an urgent demand for gold due to distrust regarding the maintenance of our currency conditions and also due to the entire absence of conlidence in the nancial policy of the Cleveland administra tlon. During Mr. Cleveland's term th Secretary of the Treasury sold bonds of the par value of 8262,315,435, bearing a high rate of interest, for the ostensible purpose ot maintaining the gold reserve, which was constantly being depleted, but really for the pnrposp of making up for deficiencies In reveuu. caused by the operation of the Wil on Irei -'rade tariff. The demand for gold draiud the Treasury, bringing It almost to the verge : bankruotcy at the end of Jan 1895, and again at the close of Jan. 18b6 No sooner was gold paid into the Treasury for bonds than It was Immediately with drawn, through the operation of the "end less chain," and shipped to Europe or do mestically hoarded In expectation of Its lat er commanding a premium, which expec lation was realized in the fall of 1896. The product of our mines was largely exported and gold everywhere was in request When the result of the Presidential elec tlon in November, 1896, was announced confidence was Instantly restored and there followed a radical change in popular sentl tent regarding gold. This Is evidenced by the rapid accumulation of gold above noted by the accumulation of the unprecedented amount of tin coin and bullion now held In the country; by the fact that the vaults of the Treasury and of the banks are literally overflowing with gold; by the fact that fpr at least six months the Assistant Treasurer at New York has been obliged to refuse to accept gold In exchange for legal tenders, whereas three years ago he was dally and almost hourly required to redeem legal tenders with gold; by the fact that as rapid Jy as gold coin is paid out by the banks on current dlsbusemeots it is promptly exchang ed by the holder for some form of paper money; and by the fact that for the first time since the resumption of specie pay ments duties at the Custom House have been almost wholly paid in gold. Three years ago there was an entire ab sence of confidence In the financial policy of the administration; now confidence abounds. Three years ago the country was groaning uuder the burden of foreign com petition and commercial and Industrial en terprises were prostrated by the operation of the Wilson free-trade tariff; now the ion n try Is mavelously prosperous, our ex ports of manufactures are enormously In sreasing, our domestic Industries are thriv ing, wages are advancing; and all this Is distinctly traceable to the operation of the Ulngley protective tariff. The fact of our possession of one billion dollars to gold and of the existence of the lighly favorable economic conditions above aoted Is a signal triumph for our protective aollcy. The gold could not have been accumulated and the trade conditions could ot have been attained under a free-trade policy, for the essential factor Influencing the accumulation of the gold has been con fidence, and the underlying factor of the trade conditions has been prosperity, and neither confidence nor prosperity ever ex isted under free-trade tariffs.

For several months Mr. Perry Brown, of Venice township, has been prospecting among the old pine lands of Michigan in search of a good location for the establish ment of a sheep ranch, such a tract was finally located in Clare county, einht miles from Clare, aud contains 4040 acres. The land has been lumbered over but still con tains a large quantity of beech and maple timber, nijst of which is very fine. The tract is well watered with numerous spring creeks that are tilled with brook trout. It is surrounded with small farms some of which have buildiugs as fine as can be found anywhere in Shiawassee county. Monday and Tuesday of this week, Mr. Brown accompanied by L. Loucks, B. W. Calkins, M. Byington, John Harris, K. Augsbury, Wm. Cole, and Win. Si xton, made a careful examination of the land and at ouce made' Mr. Brown an olfer for an Interest In the land which he ac cepted and a company was formed to engage iu the sheep and cattle raising in dustry on the tract. The geutlemen inter ested are very enthusiastic over the pros pects and there seems no reason why such an Industry can not thrive here as well as in other states. They will stock It with western sheep and cattle as soon as the land Is fenced and in shape to receive them. Where Tourists will Find Dr. Humphrey's Specifics. England, 83 Mortimer St., London.

There is more Catarrh In this section of tbe country than all diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment, pro nounced It incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, man factored by F. J.

The general plant structure is In terpreted in terms of function, that is. the service it preforms in the life of the plant. This course is laid out with reference to the needs of teachers in secondary schools, and It can also be adapted to those who wish it for entrance to the University. Course I on liverworts, mouses and ferns, covers practically the same ground as the botanical work for the second semester In genetal biology. It gives a thorough know ledge of a few plant forms In each of the groups, aud a more general knowledge of other forms in each group. The third course aims to give the student a knowledge at first hand and in a systematic manner of those physiological processes which make up tbe life of the plant. It answers the (uest)ous: What does the plant do? blow does It work? How does It react to Its en vironment ?
