The Increase of Our Currency.

A correspondent of the New York
Sun says: "At the time of the re-
sumption of specie payments in 1879,
our circulating medium consisted Of
S346. OOO, 900 legal tender notes, S344,-
600, 900 national bank notes, and $780,
900, 900 gold, OF which Sl56, 900, 900 was
in the treasury and in the vaults of
the national banks. All the money
In the country amounted, therefore.
to about 1885, 900, 900, excluding frac-
tional notes and subsidiary coin.
Since 1879 we have imported from
abroad S220,0O0,000 more gold than
we have exported. We have extract
ed $500, 100000 from our mines, of
which not more than half, or, say,
$3.50, 900, 900 has been consumed in the
arts and carried abroad by travellers.
We have coined 300, 100000 of silver
dollars, which are accepted at par
with gold dollars, and we have re-
duced our national bank circulation
by only $1,000, 100000. The result is
net addition to our stock of money,
in nine years. of $50, 000fOO0, bringing
it up to 81 800, 900, 900. The sum is at
least one-half more than it was nine
years ago. During the nine years the
population of the country has increas--
ed only one-fitth, while general
prices have fallen one-third. so that
practically there was no need for any
increase, whatever.

Cartoons

There are said to be 10000 carbons
burned daily in the electric lights
used in the United States, of which
100, 900 are manufactured in Cleve-
land, Ohio. Six years ago all the car
bons burned in this country were
made in a single room in Boston.
Now there are twenty carbon furnaces
in Cleveland alone. The carbOns are
made chiefly of the residuum of oil
after it has been refined, and the de-
post about natural gas wells is also
coming into use. The material is
ground to powder, a little pitch is
added, and the substance is then
placed in moulds. These are packed
in boxes and the latter placed in a
furnace, where they are subjected to
the most intense heat.

NoN-PARTISAN PELON.

1t is both instructive and amusing
to note the personnel of the delegates
elected at Saturdays primaries. The
list reads like an eXpurgated edition
of the democratic poll lists of BeXar
county. 1t may be nOn-partisan; it
may be anti-demOcratic; it may be
anti-republican; it may be almost any
thing you please, but there is no
doubt that it is a Callaghan crowd.
Callaghan and CassianO, all wool,
full yard wide and warranted to fight
for the leaders until the last ballot is
counted and the returns announce the
perpetuation of the present city ad-
ministration. All roads lead to
Rome, and all political movements in
and around San Antonio this year
lead to the denomination and re-elec-
ton of Bryan Callaghau and the
ficials. The compact entered into for
this result last winter has been con-
tinually strengthened from month to
month until today the yoke is upon
the neck and the rivets are
being clinched. The first act
in this drama was played at
Alamo pavilion two weeks
since when the republicans were sold
out of a ticket and the usual farce
perpetrated. The second act was
rung up last Saturday and will be
perfected when the convention meets.
The palaver about member of leg
islature deceives no one. The trade
will open boldly after Saturday next,
and the candidates will be bled for
all that there is in it. The LIGHT has
the national ticket to fight for, and
the principles of the party. Beyond
that there is nothing in the situation
but a game of grab. What the dem
ocracy will do in the present circum-
stances doth not yet appear. They
may elect to keep hands off, or they
NAV decide TO hold a convention
and put a straight ticket in the field.
In the latter event they will stand a
fair chance of success, as many re-
publicans who were sore over the &C
ton of this county convention here
determined to vote a straight ticket
If they can get chance. The situa-
ton is full of encouragement to the
politicians who are on the trade, or
the ward-strikers who are on the
make, and there is no doubt that they
will make the most out of it.

CARELESS MOTHERS.

Many mothers have permitted their
children to die before their eyes when
they might have been saved. Any
mother who keeps house without a
bottle of Arcker's English Baby
Soother at hand, runs risk which

Cheap
Democracy Always for Cheai
Labor.

To any one who is familiar with the
history of the democratic party it will
be needless to say that its economic
policy has ever been that of cheap
labor, which always means political
and social degradation, Of which the
4O-cents-a-day laborers, tissue ballots
and shotgun politics of the southern
states are today the disgraceful.monu-
ments. 1t is quite natural that the
party which thrived upon slave labor,
and forced the country into q civil
war to prevent industrial freedom,
should stand for what to it seems the
next best thing, the lowest priced
free labor. The democratic party not
only stands for cheap labor as a local
practice, but that is the cardinal doc
trine in its political economy. No one
should be surprised that the demo-
cratic party has embraced English
economies. That is the natural goal to
which it has been tending for years.
It's St. Louis tariff-smashing declara-
ton is no new doctrine for that party.
Free-trade, pure and simple, was one
of the chief articles in the written con-
stitution of its slave-holdiug cOnfed-
eracy. They will doubtless deny that
they stand for cheap labor, just as
they would now deny that they ever
favored slavery. The facts, however,
on this point are too clear to need
stating. The issues between the two
parties in this campaign are clearly
drawn. The democrats stand for a
radical departure from protective in
dustrial policy, facing directly for
free trade at maximum speed. The
republicans stand distinctively for the
protective policy which with us has
become traditional.-George Gunton.

THE president, his cabinet, his adj

tive participants in the present CAM
paign and contributors to the demo-
cratic campaign fund. Not only have
the employees upon public works been

The democratic state committee of
Ohio, and the democratic postmasters
throughout the state continue the un-
lawful distribution of campaign docu-
ments through the mails without pay
ing postage on them. This is not only
a violation of law, but robbery of
the people. The sanction of the
democratic postmaster general only
makes the crime more fragrant. The
mails are not only demoralized but
the government robbed. The only

THE Rochester. New York, Post Ex-
press, an out and out Hill paper fthe
regular democratic breed, says that so
far as the campaign in that state is
concerned it is merely a question of
trading votes. The Express says:
"The Cleveland men will trade
right and left; and if the Hill men do
not trade, Warner Miller will prob
ably be the next governor of New
York, no matter how the state goes on
the presidential ISSUE"
The Express evidently expects that
the Hill men will do their share of the
trading, and in this the Express will
not be disappointed. Matters grow
brighter every day for the republi-
cans. Their prospects of success in
crease more and more unto the perfect
day.

that we think our editorials come In
