Taking our average decennial percentage of increase, oar popu lation in 1900 will be 85,000,000; in 1910 it will be 112,000,000; in 1920 it will be 149,000,000; in 1930 it will 197,000,000; in 1940 it will be 261.000. 000; and in 1950 it will be 346.000. 000. Think of it! Before the end of the twentieth century there will be over 500,000,000 people in the United States! • These figures stagger the aver age reader. Suppose, * then, tye look twenty years ahead. Many of us will be living then, and we shall see 112,000,000 Americans under our flag. What are we going to do with all these people? Our past histo- y will give us some light. When we numbered a few millions we lound it necessary to acquire the Louisiana territory. Then we ab sorbed Florida. Next came Texas, and a big slice from Mexico. Af ter that we purchased Alaska. From the very first it will be seen that the American policy, whether under , democratic or re publican rule, has been one of ter ritorial expansion. In the near fu ture this policy wiU be a necessity. Onr swarming millions will over run Canada, MexicRO, Central America, and push into Sonth America. Cuba will be a mere trifle in the list of onr territorial acquisitions' Bat, is it likely—is it practicoble for so many people, covering sneb a vast area, to be united under one government? When this question is raised we. drift into the wide fields of speculation and prophesy. Onr form of government has stood unparallelled strains and tests. It may yet cover the western hemis phere with its starry banner, or weighted with corruption, torn by conflicting interests, and grown too unwieldy, it may divide, leaving a number of separate re publics in a. commercial nnion, Time will show. For th‘e present it is enough to know that the in crease of enr population twenty years hence will open for this gen eration more active and profitable fields of enterprise than the world has ever seen. It is an old saying that if yon want to do lysines you must go where thore are people. The estimates quoted here make jt plain that we are going to have people enough ,and the best thing we can do is to equip ourselves for the business needs of the next two decades. There will soon be work enough for all who fit themselves lor it, and there will be misery and poverty enough for those who fail to grasp the opportunities and adapt themselves to the situation. amount of money; we demand that the amount of circulating medium he speedily increased to not less than 880 per capita. “2.

Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, we demand that our national legislation shall be so framed in the future as not to bnild up one industry at the expense of another.

A great many of them think that the McKinley bill is primarily the cause hi the stringency, for the law; importers bought au immense ainouut of goods in order to avoid the higher duties which the bill imposed. The greater part of these goods are iu boud in the cus tom house, and the bills for them have been falling due for a month or more. The duties on them must also be paid by February 1. The demaud for money which these immense importations caus ed came at a time when all the money that was available was need ed to move the crops. Money, of course, began to get scarce, and that fact, in connection with the trouble which overtook the great banking house of the Barings, made bankers and money lenders timid. Bankers began hoarding money .in order to be fortified against possible trouble, and the consequence was a great money stringency. - In order to restore confidence more money is needed, and Bank er Henry Clews says that the most feasible plan for getting it and re storing confidence, is for congress to postpone the time for the pay ment of the duties on the McKin ley importations from February 1 to June 1; passing the house bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to buy 813,000,000 of sil ver which now locks up money to carry it, and pass Senator Sher man’s bill which provides that na tional bank currency, to the amount of the face value of the bonds.-dpposited to secure ft, may be isstied.

It is not likely that there will be any legislation by ibis congress of a financial character, because the financial trouble will be over, in all'probability, before there could be any legislation of that kind. But there will be by the next con gress.

I was driving along a highway in Woods county, Ohio, with a man who was selling farming ma chines to fanners, says the New York Snn, and about 2 o’clock iu the afternoon we came along to a district school -house. The school- ma’am and about twenty scholars stood adder an elm tree, about for ty feet' high, near the house, and in the topmost branches of the tree was a boy about 14 years old. “Anything wrong here?” asked my friend, as we halted before the door. “Budd Hawkins says he won’t, and the teacher says lie must,” called a littie girl. The teacher herself then came forward. She was a plain looking girl of about 20, with a mouth showing great firmness, and with some embarrassment she explain ed: ‘It’s the terror of the school. He refused to mind and I started to whip. him. He broke away-and mil out and climbed the tree. I’ve been up about 20 feet, but I had to give it up and come down.” ‘Yer can't conquer me!” shout- en the boy. “Budd, I order you to come do\vn “J won’t!” “I have sent- for an axe, and here it comes,” she said as she turned to us. “He’ll come down with the tree, if not before.' We offered to use the axe, but she declined the offer with thanks, and stepping to the tree she swung the implement around and buried the blade in the wood. ‘You dftsn’t!” shouted Budd from the top.

At the end of three minutes the tree began to totter, and Budd to yell in alarm, and a few minutes later it fell with a crash. I thought tho boy was badly hurt, if not kill ed, anil wa's relieved as the school- ma’am sprang forward, yanked him out of the branches, and while pplying a gad with onc- hand, she pulled him into the school house with the other, saying: “Now, Budd Hawkins, you’ve got to do some of the nwfuliest begging ever heard of in the state of Ohio, or I won’t leave enough hide on you for a flea to bite!” He was hard at it when we drove An amnsiug complaint has come before an English local board. A chimney sweeper claimed that peo ple in the town deprived him of a living by sweeping their own chimneys. Their method was to get up early and set fire to their chimneys. As complainant paid a license, he considered the board ought not to allow this thing to continue. The board promised to consider the complaint. At a recent meeting of the Zoo logical Society the photograph of a peculiar form of bird’s nest was exhibted by . ' Professor Flower.

Not knowing the facts, any answer to this inquiry is mere surmise, From published data, however, it is safe, at least, to in fer that the pressure has grown out of unsettled values in Europe. Nevertheless,' this state of affairs is, no doubt, attributable to some extent to home management. It certainly argues one fact, to-wit: that there is not a sufficiency of money iu circulation by our own government to meet the demands of commerce, and this is one of the great national questions that should engage the serious attention of onr people. / . Such a state of things gives too great scope to the & on eyed pewers that be. This fact is being dem onstrated by the present pressure; and it is further demonstrated that the farmer class is the class that is being pressed to the wall. Jnst at a time when many demands against this class are dne and pay able, there comes a heavy drop off from the market value of cottoD, the only commodity they hold, with which to liquidate these de mands, and thus the loss falls di rectly upon them. Whenever the fiscal affairs of a government are so arranged as to bring such pressure sud such bur dens upon its laboring classes, a great wrong is'wrought, ard the pressing demand for the rigkting- o£ this wrong is too argent to go unheeded by those who have the power to. regulate and adjust snch fiscal affairs. • When the farmers cotton sells for less than the cost of production, is it not evident that there is somewhere a canker' worm that isknawing at their very vitals? Where and what is thig canker worm ? And can it be extermina ted? are the questions. We incline, however, to the opin ion that the present pressure in money matters is only temporary, and that at an early day money will begin to flow, and the cotton to move in its regular channels. river, and which poured its water forth at snch a tremendous rate that the. men who were doing the boring narrowly escaped beiDg overtaken; bv the flood, which, gushing down the side ot the slight incline on which the frnit farm is situated, had soon worn a channel to the dry bed of an an cient creek.
