rAE FARMER coMPrrEs.

The illogical and fetish worshipping
protection cranks are felicitatlng them
selves that no matter what else the
European zoliverein. to be congregated
at Berne in July, may accomplish, II
cannot disturb the export trade OF the
United States. The Washington Post
says:
OF one thing here the public may be
assured-our grain, cattle and other
necessary natural products cannot bs
excluded long by any zoliverein, how
ever powerful.
What Is the reason2 Our farmers,
cotton and tobacco planters and cattle
raisers pay higher wages than similar
industries pay anywhere In the world
our railways are more costly and the
distances greater than anywhere else;
all implements and machinery used by
planter or farmer cost at least double the
prices that similar things would cost
anywhere else than under the Mckinley
tariff. How then can It be expected that
they will be able to compete successfully
with foreign cheap labor How can
they be expected to pay double prices for
trace chains, for hoes, for salt, for
clothes, medicines and everything their
simple style of life demands and still
sell wheat, corn, cotton, beef and to-
bacco cheaper than the cheapest labor in
the worldll They do II
The cotton planter contends against
the Egyptian fellah, the tobacco grower
c,mpetes with the naked Cuban negro
half breed, the wheat grower of the
West contends against the ryot of
India. These are the cheapest and most
wretched laborers in the world yet the
protectionist cranks are anxious that the
sgric ulturists should compete with them
aud not willing that our manufacturers
should encounter the same kind, though
much higher grade Of competition on
far more advantageous terms, Any
thing is good enough for the Western
farmer and the Southern planter. moth
ing is TOO good for the Pennsylvania
manufacturer.
The far0er and the planter can and do
compete with and beat the ryot and the
fellah; the manufacturer could do the
same thing in his field of competition II
It were not easier and more profitable tc
obtain his money by favorable legisla
tion. II assured Of from AZ TO 800 pei
cent. profit at home, with no exertior
whatever but that Of subscribing to the
Republican campaign fund and sending
attorneys to Washington ITO interview

his virtuous indignation is the jealousy
Of the Empress, who heard that her
spouse was much smitten with the
charms OF one Of the girls at supper at
Baron Freivels 1t is probable the EN-
peror disapproved of the show all the
time, but his disapproval was displayed
in much milder form before the EN-
press took cognizance Of the matter
That shrewd and witty philosopher
Oliver Wendell Holmes said zone never
knew what he thought on any partlcu-
lar subject till he drove streak Of talk
through somebody else" On the same
principle the Emporer's mind was not
fully confirmed in virtuous indignation
against the tight" show till his wife
drove a streak of talk through him. He
should thank his stars, and he probably
does, that his mother-in-law did not

snyer Coinage suspended

Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
As noted in the local columns of the
Evening Telegraph. the United States
Mint will suspend operations on the Both
inst, one week from TO day The in
cident Is of local interest only, so far as its
immediate consequences are concerned !;
but IL involves certain considerations that
are of national, not to say Of international
moment. The suspension Is due to the
fact thas the main work Of the mint is at
present Ia the coinage OF silver dollars
under the act OF Congress OF July IA,
1890 which directs that two million
ounces of silver shall be coined into dol
lars every month until the July 1, 1891
After July prox the coinage OF silver
dollars will be limited by the Secretary
Of the Treasury to such an amount as
may be necessary TO redeem Treasury
notes, as prescribed by the Act. That Is
to say. It will depend on the interperta-
tion Of the law by the Secretary Of the
Treasury whether the mint shall or shall
not resume the coinage Of silver dollars r..
ter the annual overhauling Of machinery
and the usual vacation interval >
What the fact Is all men know full well
There are more silver dollars piled up in
the Treasury already than are required
for the redemption OF Treasury notes or
for any other purpose. There cannot be
any presumption that the Treasury needs
any more OF these coins at this time or
that there is any probability any more OF
them will be needed for long time To
come. This seems to be the common
sense Of the matter, and It is to be
hoped that the Secretary win be guided
accordingly.
