Latest reports from the wheatgrowing sections of the United States show that the prospects in the winter wheat belt are unusual-

ly fine, the average being the highest reported in any year since 1891, while there are reports of heavy seeding in spring wheat producing localities, thus giving indications of continued prosperity among the agricultural community. “The only hope of relief and repose from a condition which can no longer be endured, is the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, in behalf of injured American interests which give us the right and duty to speak and act, the war in Cuba must stop.” —From President McKinley’s message, April 11, 1898. The people who, a fortnight ago, were criticising President McKinley for what they considered an unnecessary delay in determining his course in the Cuban matter, now see the difficulties which confronted him and the necessity for the thoughtful, prayerful consideration which he gave to the matter, which involved not only national honor, but the livesof American citizens. The more his course in this matter is studied and understood, the more it will be commended by all thoughtful citizens. The people of the United States are today in a better condition to supply the money necessary for war than on any former occasion. The money in circulation in the United States today is more than ever before. It has increased $246,333,445 in the twenty-one months since the Chicago Convention took the ground that money of the country could not increase materially without free coinage of stands today at "high water mark.” Free traders are still vainly looking for evidence with which to support their claim that the duties placed on hides and leather by the Dingley law would advance prices of shoes. Reports from great wholesaling cities all over the country show an enormous increase in sales but no advance in prices, while the quotations of prices received by manufacturers show in almost all classes of shoes a reduction in price despite the great increase in sales..

“The issue is now with the Con- . gross. It is a solemn responsibility. I have exhausted every eflfort ,o relieve the intolerable condition of affairs which is at our doors. Prepared to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I await your action.”—President McKinley to Congress on Cuban'question, April 11, 1891. Colorado the home of the free silver propaganda, is rapidly increasing her gold out put, the work of the present year indicating that the total production for 1898 will show a gain of over $8,000,000 or 40 per cent increase over last year. If the other gold fields of the world increase their output at a correspondikg rate the addition to the gold of the world during 1898 will be at the rate of over a million dollars a day.
