FRIDAY, JULY 30. 1897.
SOMK time since the Director of the Mint estimated that the gold production in this country for 1S97 would be 800,000.000. He had not then heard of the rich discoveries in Alaska and Arizona. It will be necessary for him to revise his figures before the year closes.
MONEV is beginning to go into farms as a result of the return of confidence and the approach of good times. Farmers are getting offers for their land, and purchasers are willing to pay cash, as they believe the corner has been turned and that prosperity is in sight,
UKVAX makes the declaration that there are only 8300,000,000 in circulation in this country. The.Treasury report shows the circulation to be 81,640,000,000. But this is about as near the truth as Bryan can approach. Figures, except figures of speech, are not his forte.
THK countries across the water are breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the United States because it has enacted a tariff law without their aid or consent. Under the hybrid •Wilson-Gorman law they were permitted to plunder the markets of this country at will, to the great detriment of American industry, but now that there has been a change they are discussing all sorts of retaliatory measures. Let them howl.
"THE East does not know," says the Denver Ilcpublican, "and will not believe that Colorado is a gold producing State, except in a moderate way. .Above all, it does not know that it will surpass Caliiornia this year, and that in the course of a few years it will go ahead of the Rand district in South
Africa. People are ready enough to believe stories of the discovery of almost fabulous wealth in the Yukon Valley, but they turn a deaf ear to the statement that Colorado is one of the greatest gold regions in the world."
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN who assumes to speak for the Democracy and to control its destiny renews iD recent utterances his evidence of esteem for gold Democrats, and announces that if they are willing to bury their golden idol and bow down to free and unlim"ited coinage of silver at 10 to 1 they may come into the Democratic party again. Otherwise they cannot. In a recent letter on this subject he says: "It is as impossible for a person to belong to both organizations bs it is for a person to be both a Democrat and a
Republican at the same time."
SAVS the New York Sun (Dem.) as to prosperity: "Prosperity for all is here, not a prosperity of mere paper and hope, but actual, tangible, resting on the indisputable and convincing fact of agricultural prosperity, without which general prosperity in this'country cannot to day exist. There is work to do and money to be made by everybody who is not a loafer or an incompetent. The people of the United States are going to work and to make money. The prophets of disaster will find their occupation gone. The politics of disaster will be made futile by this period of good times which has begun. Prosperity is here."
COUNT MATSI'KA, the Japanese Premier, delivered a speech before the Diet of that country on the 3d of March last in favor of the adoption of the gold standard, in the course of which he said:
A gold standard liafe the advantage of making prices steadier, for, as coindared with silver, gold is more stable in value, and if the standard of value is steady, prices as measured by the •standard must also be steady. Rising prices make markets active for a time, but will soon affect the material and wages, injure the productive power of the country, and tend to decrease exports while suddenly falling prices cause losses to the commercial and economic world. Then it is best that prices do not iluctuate violently, but it is impossible to avoid such Jluctuatious with a silver standard, and the only remedy is to ba found in a goid standard. Secondly, a gold standard will tend to increase exports, for, while it makes commercial transaction with foreign countries adopting a similar standard more coc' enient, it enables the country to avoid violent fluctuations of prices and tends to develop her industry. Again, a gold standard diminishes the excha--t-'i lluctuations. Japan's commerce has been frequently hampered by the liuctuation of exchange with gold countries consequent
upon the fluctuation of silver. If she adopts a gold standard now, all such evils will not be repeated. Another advantage is that of enabling the country to extend her machinery of circulation. As Japan progress?0 it becomes necessary for her to be in constant touch with various foreign markets, but at present 6he is iso ated from foreign countries in respect of circulation. Such inconvenience will be obviated by a gold standard, which will render the circulation between foreign and native markets smooth, and give many other financial advantages.
THE Treasury Department at Washington is overwhelmed with applications for small notes from btuiness men throughout the country, who presumably require them for commercial transactions among the masses. The state of trade may be pretty accurately judged by this demand. The small notes have their greatest circulation among the working classes, and a demand for them shows that more money is finding its way into the hands of the people, and that still more is needed to meet the wants of the smaller shopkeepers and merchants who deal directly with the people. This is but another 6traw which shows how the prosperous winds are blowing.
TIIE impertinent editors all over the country are nagging Mr. Bryan because somebody has discovered that he wears silk nightshirts, and somebody else has even asserted that they are adorned with a ruilla. This announcement, however, does not seem to ruille Mr. Bryan very much, whose sympathy and interest in behalf of the "suffering people" is still "tine as silk," especially in view of the fact that it has been a most profitable industry to him.

PALMYRA ISLAND OCCUPATION.
Steps Taken Looking to Sernrhig an Armorplate Plant—Authorized Snte of Timber—Internal Kevcnue Iteceipts For
Last Year—Violating the Killed Cheeso Law.
WASHINGTON, July 29.—The president carried out his intention of changing the rules of the civil service law and issued his orders before leaving the city yesterday. The civil service commission expresses satisfaction over the order becauso they claim that the president in extending the law to all offices, 110 matter how many employes there arc, lias the effect of placing mors men under the law than is taken out. This may be true, but in comparison with the salaries paid and the desirability of the offices taken out they exceed far thoso taken in. The number of offices affected by the order of yesterday is about 450. The order now takes cashiers and deputy collectors, both of customs and internal revenue offices, outside of the civil service law, but provides for an examination, tis directed by tho secretary of the treasury.
rAI.MVIUA ISLAND.
Government Not Particularly Concerned Over Its Occupation by HriMsI:. WASHINGTON, July 20.—State department officials say that no issue is presented by the seizure of Palmyra island by the British, reported some days ago by an incoming vessel and sent out to the press by correspondents, for Great Britain has maintained a claim to the island for the past nine years. Tho island is said to be in the Polonesian group, and although Hawaii has asserted a claim to its possession, our government has not beeu strongly impressed with the validity of the claim. Meanwhile the British, it is said, not only have asserted a claim to it, but have actually occupied the island for some years past. In view of tho probable annexation of Hawaii by the United States the matter doubtless will receive closer attention in the future at tho hands of the state department, but it is not expected that the subject will prove to be difficult of adjustment, particularly in view of the fact as stated by naval officers, that Palmyra island is nothing more than a barren rock in the Pacific, distant 1,000 miles lrom Hawaii.
