Bay. Doubtless many Senators and Con-
gressmen envy his good fortune in getting
away. And why should he not rest and
recuperate1 Nobody can Justly accuse
him OF neglecting the public business. nor
is there any reason why he should repeal
his vacation on account Of the SHERMAN act.
He has done all he can and all he Is called
upon to do until Congress puts bills before
him for his approval or rejection.
Mr.. CLEvEIAND's excursion to Gray Ga

their married public men to be. but that he

even for Ohio. The fight between Mr..
CAMPBELL and Mr.. MCKINLEY was, to be
sure. between moderate and high pro-
tectionist: but the platform of the Ohio
Democrats In 1891 declared for a tar
liz for revenue only. and the YER
dict OF Ohio In 1891 was reversed
by tho country In 1892 Whether or
not Ohio shall approve In 1898 what she
rejected in 1891 and the people OF the Unit
ed States approved In 1892 the Democratic
party OF Ohio and the rest OF the country
are bound to destroy protection. Men like
Mr.. NEAL. men not afraid or ashamed of
their principles. must naturally como to
the high places of the Democratic party.
Ohio voted against the tariff for revenue
only In 1891. and by smaller plurality In
1892. when the tariff for revenue had the
additional merit OF being declared consti-
tutional by the Democracy.

The data included in this table neither

The data included in this table neither
warrant the assumption that Indian COM
petition will force reduction or prevent an
expansion OF American cotton fields, nor
look to return to wheat growing OF
the million and more acres diverted from
wheat to cotton culture since 1880; and they
must be based on an overestlmate OF the
power Of India to produce cotton. and
underestimates OF India's needs for food
and the worlds requirements for cotton
which have. OF late years. increased much
more rapidly than have the worlds cotton
bearing acres.
The idea that the worlds cotton acreage
is outstripping tho worlds requirements
probably proceeds from the low prices
following the unprecedented acreage yields
OF American fields In 1890 and 1891 The
crops OF these years exceeded. in the
acreage yields. the average OF the ten pre-
ceding crops by 40 pounds an acre. or "a
per cent, the excess over average yields
from the acreage Of the two years equalling
$500. 900 bales Of 500 pounds each.
The yields OF these two crops were SO
pounds an acre in excess even of the twelve
grown since 1880. In which they are In
Guided to make the American average Of
175 pounds an acre. The average product
of the two In excess of average yields Of IT'S
pounds an acre. equals 2.700. 600 commercial
bales. Such an excess is. apart from Indian
or other competition. quite sufficient to
account for the surplus which has been
pressing upon the markets at low prices
during the last two yeirs: nor is 1t neces-
sary to assume that the acreage must be In
excess Of the worlds needs. to understand
the lack of prosperity on the part of the
cotton growers.

He Was Right.

The Appeal Apdldnche objects to Mr..
CLnyRIANp's message because he did not
10 beyond the repeal OF the purchase clause
Of the SHERMAN act and recommend posi-
tive legislation:
"Does Mr. cLnvELIsD favor an increase of the ratio
between gold and siveri Does he favor suspension
OF the purchase Of ver until the country shall be able
70 digest the bullion in tho vaults Of tho Treasury
Does he favor tho INN citation of tlvert

pressed some opinion ono word from him would
have rsstored confidence. Ono blast upon his bugle
horn were worth ten thousand men. But he puts the
responsibility for solving the problem upon Cougrsss
and the Democratic majority has chart by which Il
may be guided save tho declaration OF the National
Convention. Mr.. CLEVELAND has contributed nothing
by way Of Interpretation to that declaration"
1t was wise for Mr.. CLEVELAND not to
propose any financial legislation In place
of the SHERMAN act. The SHERMAN act in
itself is not priced by anybody; even the
extreme silver men wish to use it only as
means Of compelling legislation more favor
able to silver. In limiting his recommends
tion Mr.. CLEVELAND took safe and impreg-
nable ground. Had he ventured into the
assertion Of plan Of his own, he could
hardly have failed to irritate the men,
bers Of Congress whose views Of the reme-
dies necessary for the cure OF the existing
financial evils were different from his own.
1t would be queer view OF the consttu-
tlonal duty OF the Executive in making
recommendations to Congress TO hold that
he has not the right to be reticent OF vague
whom clear language to Congress, might
defeat the very purpose he has in view and
injure the public welfare.
The greater share Of the responsibility
rests with Congress. and there Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND has properly left it. In former years
his opinions about silver were freely and
dogmaHcally expressed. but it Is evident
that the seriousness and wide extent Of the
financial trouble have impressed him pow
erfully: and it Is creditable to his modesty
as well as to his patriotism that he has
practised repression Of his personal views.
What better standing place for Congress
Is there than the Democratic platform2
Mr.. CLEVELAND has followed that. and. like
that, is positive in demanding tho repeal OF
the makeshift SHERMAN act. and vague as
to the means by which the currency is to
be regulated and the parity OF gold and
silver secured and maintained. It Is for
Congress to interpret the financial plank,
and out Of its somewhat nebulous shape
lessness to dcduce the fitting body of law.
