For the period of ninoteen months from March 4, 1889, to October 1, 1890, the aggregate increase of circulation among the people was $96,866,813, making an average monthly increase of $4,940,838, an increase per capita of about $1.50, while for the corro;ponding period from March 4, 1885, to October 1, 1886, the aggregate decrease in circulation was $21,859,483 and the average monthly decrease $1,150,500, making a total difference in favor of the last nineteen months of over $6,000,000 per month. F«»r the period of three months from July 1 to Ootoher 1, “1890. the aggregate increase in actual use among the people was $33,854,339, making an average monthly increase of $22,784,778. It is stated that this large increase since March 4, 1889, is mainly dne to the present policy of keeping the surplus as low as possible by the purchase and redumption of bon's, thereby saving interest and restoring the money to circulation, while the large decrease in circulation for the corresponding period from March 4, 1835, to October 1. 1886, was due to the opposite policy. A Terrific Boiler Kxptoslon. Lock port, N. Y., Nov. 99.—A terrific boiler and dynttnito explosion took place on the trunk sower in the First ward yesterday morning. Edward Manning, twenty-threo years old, one of the workmen, was killed and R. Van Cleve, the engineer, was badly iniured. Several others had narrow escapes. Parts of the huge engine were thrown half a mile, one piece tearing Us way into a brick house, a quarter of a mile distant Chinese Contracted for to Work on the Telia.mtcpec It* llr old. Sax Fkaxcisco, Nov. 29.—Lyman Mowry, attorney, whose principal clientage is among Chinese, has arrived from China on the steamer Gaelic. He went to China in the interests of the Tehuantepec railroad, and at Canton contracted for 8,000 men to work on the railroad: They will he shipped direct to the field of labor. Already 500 men have reached SalivavDel Santa Crus, on the Guir of Tehuantepec, and are engaged on 290 miles of road extending from that point to Coatzaceatcos, on the Gulf of Mexico.

We are, however, making great progw** toward a cheap way. ■dBK-4JSfE^aSR5<: aluminum from the day, and , since then inventor*'In all part* of the world have been at work on the problem. Tho difficulty has not been go much in making the metal as In making It cheaply; for men do them cheap and struggle to make them so, notwithstanding the as __„_assertions of tike protectionist leader, that cheap and nasty go together, and that cheapness is nn-American. Some years after the. Frenchman's invention the price of the metal was $10 a pound, and France made most of the world’s supply. Then an Englishman invented a much better way of making it, and the price went to less than S3 a pound. Some four or fivd years ago American manufacturers began to make aluminum; and Major McKinley has just put \ duty of 15 cents a pound on the metal .'JoTurers; but beTorlT iBfc bill" became a law a Chicago chemist announced the Invention of a process by which it can be produced for less than 15 cents a pound. If this announcement proves true, we a,re on the eve of* a great industrial revolution. For what are the qualities of this remarkable metal? The two qualities that give it the preference aver other metals are its lightness and Its strength. A pound of it is about three times the size of a pound of iron; it is more than four times as bulky as silver and more than seven times as bulky as gold. The strength of this metal Is no less remarkable than its tightness. Make an alloy of it with copper and the product islwhat is called aluminum bronze. A beam of this alloy will support as great a weight as can be borne by one made of the finest crucible steel. Make a wire cable of it, and no no other metal will .bear an equal strain. Make it red hot and it melts; cast it then into a mold and it is soft and as easily worked as silver. Buthammer it or roll it and it becomes almost as hard as iron. It can be drawn Out into a wire as fine as a spider’s web, or it can be beaten into a leaf as thin as gold leaf. It neither rusts nor tarnishes under the influence of water or air. With its great strength and lightness it can be readily seen.that it will completely supersede steel In the tnilding of steamboats, in house construction, in rails for our railroads, and in a thousand other things It has already been arranged to construct railroads cars with it, a steamboat built with it will have a tonnage only one-third as great as one built of steel. What will be the effect of this on existing industries like iron and steel making? It is possible that oventually most of them may be olosed up And what of the laborers employed in them? It wUl^Shve: to find employment in^ other ways—a hardship to a few laj ers, of course, but far outweiged bj| general good to all laborers greatest happiness to the great her will be attained in the f cheaper comforts, whilep few i—— lose their present feDeployment, just as the freer admission of foreign cloth would be a great blessing to thousands of people, although a small number might lose their present work. The rule of progress is the greatest possible cheapness for the greatest possible num

PROFITS m IRON. •Intent” Industries That Heap Large Gains Through the Paternal Policy of Pro teetion. The Senate refused to make a very d jiight reduction in iron ore; but there is M ibnndant evidence that the mine-owue^ :;)'3 and pig iron makers are growingr:«h^B As far back as 1863 the Thomas iroriH works in Pennsylvania were makingpiff^ iron at a total cost of less than 514.08 per ton. Last year the same works pro- ' luced pig iron at St a 05 per ton and deslared a dividend of 25' per cent Nor have they an advantage over other works in their district for they use a very lean ore and are therefore required to use more fuel than is necessary in case richer ores are used. Last January the Iron Age, the prin- y uipal trade journal of the iron trade it this country, said that the Metropolanx^ Iron and Lead Company, in tho Lako Superior region, was also el oaring 35 per lent,on its capital. The Age stated that the shares of the company, the pap value of which is $35, were then “close to $75,” and it goes on to state facts which explains that enormous premium. It says: “The company’s mines will greatly increase their output and a very large part of it has already been Bold at an advance on last season's prices Unless an unforeseen revision should occur in the trade, or mining ’ operations be seriously impeded by some accident the year 1890 will be the greatest in the company’s history, both as to production of ore and net results to stockholders.” Twenty-five per cent dividends and still higher ones in prospect and the United States Senate afraid to give the seaboard manufacturers slightly lower duties on iron ore lest the Lake Superior people should be hurt! This Thomas Company, already referred to, has an equally cheerful outlook. The latest number of Bradstreet’s says: “The Thomas Company, the largest producer, has the smallest stocks on had for months It has none for sale at present prioes, and in fact can hardly keep customers supplied who have contracts” '

St. Paul aa a Protectionist Aatnonty. One of the high tariff speakers in the Senate recently quoted St Paul as aa authority on tho side ot protection. The power relied on was that in which the apostle declares that the man who doesn’t lookout for his own household is worse than an infidel. The protectionists always hare been unfortunate when they appealed to Scripture. Of all the men of the olden time, just the one who had the moat to “do with abroad” was this very same St Paul. He is the great cosmopolitan —the citizen of the world. Besides, his advice In the quoted i>assage is exactly what the protectionists decline to follow. It is their own household—their own country—that suffers through their wiokdfi laws. And after doing their little best .o ruin the industrial interests of the United States, and after having killed the broadoloth industry, the fine linen industry, tho ship-building industry, it. id" rather cheeky to claim to be disciples of tho great Apostle to the Gentiles —Before the election the Kansas City, Kan., Gazette (Rep.) had this to says “Protection is all right, but the people of Kansas are getting tired of a lop-sided application of it. They voted for tariff reform in ’8& 'They didn't veto for free trade neltherdid they vote for a protective Chinese w»li. They want profcmttaa that protects where protection ia BecaCu iatt
