‘ONE EFFECT OF EXPANSION?
HE UNITED STATES has been enjoying two kinds of expansion
simultaneously, expansion of territory and expansion of money, both
‘likely to prove advantageous in the long ran, though in different
ways. While the quantitative theory of money has-only-a—-partiak
justification in fect, it does have enough of a justification to make it play an
important part in the affaire of men, and especially is this true when, ‘as in
the present instance, the expansion of circulating medium has been mainly due
to an increaee in gold production. nln sf
In this connection the recent report of Henry Olews and Co. suggests some
interesting facts for reflection. This authority declares that the United States,
has, during the last seven years, had an increase in its circulating medium of
$847,000,000 which, notwithstanding the increase in population meantime, has
noreaced the per capita circulation from $28 to $41, an increase that this country had not before known. ‘
If this increase were of paper, and especially of flat mouey, we might be
very sure of a day of reckoning and a wind-up with a smash-up, but inasmuch as the increase is more than three fourths of. good, yellow gold, the
world’s best money, there cannot be any danger of that. It is the gold that
is measuring the values of commodities, and it is the increase of gold that
has caused real estate to advance in price in numerous places throughout our
State, in common with other parts of the country. It bas also stimalated improvement, for when the gold has been taken out of the ground and coined
into money that money must find use somawhere and where better than in
building more stately mansions for people to live in, and bigger, safer and
bandsomer buildings for them to do business in?
There ie all the difference in the world between an expanded paper‘and an
expanded gold circulation. The one is an inflation, the other isa growth,
The one is sure to burst when its strength is overtaxed; the other can not fail
to increase, unless the men who mine in the bowels of th? earth, or eift the
sands and gravels, are no longer able to find gold as a reward for their enterprise and endeavo:. That is not at all likely to occur.
For these reasons it ie warranted to anticipate that the price level, espec~
lally to real estate values, will continue in the ascendent. The present redandency in representative forms of money may undergo a ‘contraction as a safe.
guerd against tendencies toward injurious inflation, but there are tens of
thousands of men searching for gold to add to the world’sstock whose hands
can not be stayed, and so long as success attends them in their search so long
will basic values tend upward and property bought today will be worth more
tomorrow than it cost to buy it, This, otber things belng equal, is as certain
as the succession of the seasons or the tides.

THE NEW FOURTH
HICAGO, enterprising in all things, hag invented a new Fourth of
Jaly. Realizing that the present style of celebration had many defects, it set itself to devise a substitute and thinks it has succeeded,
How great ite success will be can only be aecertained by actual experiment. The fifth of July will tell the story better than any earlier date,
The small boy is not to be wholly deprived of his firecrackers, but efforts are
to be made to save his life and limbs. That the projectors of the new Fourth
witb their safety freorackers and other appliances are not sitogether confident as to the result is shown by the fact that a sort of a Red Oross annex is
to be established to give speedy aid to the injured.
Chicago realizes that the gunpowder habit is so firmly established that it
cannot at once be uprooted. The small boy considers it an inalienable right
secured by the Declaration of Independence, which he loves to commemorate,
to be permitted to blow off a few flongers, fill bis eyes with powder grains, or
set fire to the property of his neighbors, Any attempt to deprive him of these
privileges will be met by force. That a reform is needed is patent, but it must
bea gradual one. A substitution mas be allowed without a too vigorous protest, und by a process of imperceptible evolution the future citizen may be
slowly led to something better. Whetber the Ohicago way is the best remains
to be seen. :

Finance Committee
at Work Today.
The members of the Fourth of Jaly
Finance committee began a canvass
for subecriptions. this morning. At
noon Oommercial street was completed and the aggregate amount far
exceeded any that has been given for
many years. This afternoon the committee devoted their attention to
Broad street, and up to our press time
the subscriptions being received were
very liberal,
The auccess attending this canvace
means that the coming celebration
will be a grand affair. It takee money
to carry out ‘a good observance of Independence Day,and our people are
never lacking in this respect. This
. . year every effort: possible will be exerted to have the Great-American eagle
scream louder than ever.
The Rates
at St. Lous,
Sr. Louis, May 19—Gevo, W. McBride
a member of the National Commission
for the World’s Fair says erroneous
reports have been sent out regarding
the charges for rooms and meale in St,
Louis. Mr. McBride ‘says ; “I have
spent several days inspecting rooms
offered for rent, learning prices asked
for roome and board in private dwellings and in boarding-houees of good
class both for myself and for friends,
and I find that the rates charged In the
residential district are very reasonas
ble. I am surprised to learn how
many private families are offering
rooms to visitors. Idonbtif there is
another city of the size of St. Louis in
the United States that has so many
pretty homes in its residence district,
and a large proportion of these houses
are offering rooms to guests. Visitors whe wish to see the exposition at
moderate expense can find good, clean
comfortable rooms and good board at
reasonable rates by going into the resident district, where more than half
the houses offer such accommodations.
St. Louis bas about 500 restaurants.
Substantial meals can be enjoyed at
these eating plivces at rates running
from fifteen cents up. For a quarter
of a dollar one can get a square meal
at ecores of restaurants, There are
mauy bigh class cafes where the service is a la carte or table d’horle, with
prices not above the reach of persone
in moderate circumstances. As to
roome, the experience of a writer fo.
the Press Baréau of the World’s Pair
may be taken a6 indicating the situation. This attache placed a smalladvertisement ln a local newepaper for s
room, He received forty-four responses the first dey, being offered .excellent rooms as low as $2 per week, and
large rooms with bath ead all modern
conveniences at $5 per week. There
are many hotels where clean and come
fortable rooms may be had at $1 per
day. Stories of exorbitant charges
should be discountenanced by prose
pective Worln’s Fair visitors.”
