ALL AGAINST THE BILL,

The american Wool and Cotton Repor-
wool manufacturers on the subject of
tariff revision. or a dozen or so letters
published in the issue for January II not
one indorses the Wilson bill. The writers
are divided on the free raw wool PROPOSE
tion, but pretty nearly solid against ad
yalorem duties. Manchester On. HI
manufacturer says:
You cannot protect one interest and ignore
another. If the farmer or sheep-cwner cannot
raise wool and compete with foreign woods
without loss he needs protection in just the
same ratio as the manufacturer who needs pro-
lection In order TO pay his employees the wages
they have been receiving and realize a profit on
his investment. 1t would be very nice for man
ufacturers TO have free raw materials and a
proper protection for manufac ured goods
but how long would it last? You cannot
ignore the farmer aud expect him to protect
your interests.
Ii there is any answer to this we have
let seen it. Some Eastern manufacturers
fell under the influence of Governor Rus
sell of Massachusetts in 1892 in demanding
protection for their goods while DENYING
protection to the producers of raw wool
but they have since seen their mistake.
While il may not be said that they see the
injustice of the demand, they certainly see
its impractica bility. The admission is quite
general through their letters that the
wooden industry will be largely reduced
in proportion under the Wilson bill. but
may be main tanned in part by reduction

THE NATION AS A PATIENT.

Upon the eve Of departure for Europe,
Andrew Carnegie, the great steel manu-
facturer, addressed a letter to the New
York Tribune. from which the following
is taken:
confess that l had some hopes that Presl-
dent Cleveland, with his usual good Judgment,
would realize the situation and decide that.
owing to existing conditions, the nation, as a
patient, is not 10 condition to undergo surgi-
cal operation, even from the point of view OF
those who think that an operation is required
for its permanent health. This has not been
done, and the patient is to be operated upon
Immediately.
Having reached the conclusion that the
operation is to take place, Mr.. Carnegie
advises the patient not to resist. He
thinks that If the patient will have a
friendly talk with the surgeon the latter
may be induced to refrain from cutting
into a vital organ. To quote Mr.. Carne-
gie's words:
There are quite enough Democratic Senators
who would unite with the publicans upon
the platform of moderate concessions and the
danger to the peace Of the country, in my
opinion, lies chiefly In the fact that some Re-
publican Senators may refuse to cooperate
with these.
Mr.. Carnegie assumes that il the Demo-
cratic party frames tariff. even with the
assistance of Republicans. it will be es-
topped from attacking its own works.
The long and short of this is that the pa
tIent. by an arrangement with his eXecu-
tloner, may proloDg his existence He
cannot expect vigorous life, but he may
put off the final accounting for some
years. Mr.. Carnegie doubtless thinks he
can survive the operation better than the
average patient. He has wealth to carry
him through crisis and experience which
will enable him to make the best of bad
situation. He is not one of the weak sis
advises. therefore, that the patient submit
to the operation with cheerfulness that
will disarm the operator.
There is one point which Mr.. Carnegie
has not considered. The Chicago plat
form declares war against the protective
policy. Ii is not only The Mckinley tariff
that is declared fraud. but all laws based
upon the principle of protection. The
Wilson bill Is not fnality. 1t is only one
step in path that ends on the lowest
level of free trade. The advocates of the
bill are not satisfied with it, They will
give the screw another turn if the people
indorse what is done this year. 1t is not
one operation the patient will be called
upon to undergo, but successive opera
tions. The manufacturers who advise
weeding-out process and recoup their
losses from labor may mean well. but
they are lot safe advisers.

The story Of Mr. Henry &. McPike of
San Francisco being under suspicion as
crank in Washington because he wanted
to see the President is somewhat similar
to that OF an Eoglishman in Spain, who
was shadowed by the police as an anarcb-
ist. The Englishman was on his way to
Barcelona when the bomb outrage oc-
CURED, and his friends in England thought
he might be In danger, and cot the Foreign
Office to telegraph to the Consul to look
out for him. Unfoit tunarely the bomb
outrage was mentioned in the telegram,
The Consul accordingly met his com
patriot at the train. and put rather a curj-
Gus series OF questions TO him. He assured
him that he knew nothing about the bomb
affair, and the Consul reported this fact to
the police as precious bit of information.
The police placed spies in front Of his
hotel. Suddenly the EDglishman changed
his mind about the length of his stay, and
went to the railroad depot. Here he was
arrested. because the police had not COM
Dleted their inquiries. aid was thrown ill.,
TO prison. Eventually after good deal
of telegraphing 10 the Foreign Office in
England the Consul was duly enlightened
Oh the mistake he was making, and a pro-
fuse apology followed. All of which
shows that mans friends may be too
meddlesome.

year California yielded S12. 5S5, 722 of gold
out of a total national product of $50, $685.
744, and ST. 373 S07 of silver out of total
national product of sec, 1896. 9Ss. In 1880 the
total national product of gold was S33, 379.-
663, of which California produced over
half, or S17. 100. 941, and the total national
product of silver was S41, 10, 957, of which
California yielded 81, 1897. Ever since
the bonaDZas on the Comstock were eX-
hausted CALIFORNIA; yield of silver has
been nominal, and until hydraulic mining
in the gravels was stopped by injunction
the States yield of gold showed a
tendency to approximate to the later
figures of the placer days.
AT the present time the great silver
States are Colorado and Montana. They
produced between them in 1892 1900, 900
of the S74,O00.000 of the silver dug out of
the earth in the United States, say three
quarters of the whole.

RELIEF FOR THE TREASURY.

The action of Secretary Carlisle in call
ing for bids for a bond issue relieves the
House from the consideration of a s0me-
what embarrassing question. There are
many Democrats in the House who do not
admit the necessity of bond issue while
silver enough to meet all obligations lies
idle in the treasury. Some days ago Rep
resentative Harter of Ohio introduced a.
bill providing that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall have full power to issue
bonds whenever he considers it necessary
to main tain proper reserve or to provide
funds for the payment of any debts due or
about to become due by the United States
An administration paper indorsed the
bill with the remark that nothing is
more obvious than The necessity to borrow
money to tide over the present embarrass-
ment of the treasury" The present en-
barrassment of the treasury is caused bv
the refusal of the Secretary to use the
money in the treasury for ordinary pur-
poses. When he proposed coming the
seigniOrage in the silver he had purchased
under the Sherman act Wall street and
kindred communities protested with as
much force as they could had he proposed
to default in payment of interest on the
public debt. The silver, therefore. re-
mains uncoined. The treasury notes which
were Issued in payment for silver are not
in the nature of a certificate of deposit
They rest on the credit of the Government
precisely as greenbacks DO. Why not
turn this accumulation of silver into
money and use it to protect the gold? Is
there any other objection TO this policy
than that it might defeat the plans of the
New York banks to turn some of their
surplus cash into interest-bearing bonds {?

GOLD AND SILVER.

The Department of the Interior has
issued new volume on the Mineral Re-
sources of the United States. which adds
information to that contained in previous
volumes issued on that subject. and corrects
errors therein. 1t will always be remem-
bered that the figures are approximate
No miner is bound by law to reveal the
volume of his output; he may and he often
does conceal it or exaggerate its amount
TO serve his purposes, still. the figures are
probably approximately correct.
Assuming them to be accurate we find
that the total product of the precious
metals in the United States in 1S4S was
S10.05O,0O0. to wit, 100000 of gold and
$4,000 of silver. In the following year
the placer gold mines of California be-
gan to yield largely, and the country s
gold prodnct was thereby raised to
$40. 000.0 900. while the yield OF silver re-
NAMED the same. For four years the gold
product increased steadily. until in 1853 it
reached $4,000. 900. the silver product re-
naming stationary. 1t was then that
Michel Chevalier predicted a revolution
in commerce in consequence of the rapid
increase in the main money metal; he pro-
posed to demonetiZe gold and to make
silver the medium of exchange, in conse-
quence OF the greater steadiness in its
output. But beginning with 1853 the
product of gold declined from year to year,
and in ten years it fell to $40, 900. 600, the
point at which it had stood in 1S49, while
simultaneously silver mines in the Sierra
and the main raDge.began to yield bullion,
which in 1862 amounted to 81, 500 900.
This checked the relative decline in the
market price of gold as compared with
silver. and put a quietus on the scheme to
demOnetiZe gold. The Comstock lode was
then discovered with a mixed metal, con-
sisting of three-fifths silver and two-ffths
gold. 1t raised the gold output in 1866 to
S53. 800, 900. and the silver output 10
S11 .000, 900. From that date the two metals
parted company. the output of gold dimin-
ishing year by year, while the output of
silver as steadily increased. In the twenty
eight years which separate us from 1866
the product of gold has declined, almost
without a reaction. from S53. 500, 600 to
$50, 900. 600. at which figure it has remained
stationary for seven years. while during
the same period the product of silver has
also without setback.
The owners of Nevada silver mines re-
siding in this city have persisentlv
claimed California as silver State. III it
is it must be from sympathy with a sister
State. Its own interests lie all the other
way. Of the gold produced in the United
States in 1892. aggregating S33. .014, 9S1,
California produced over one-third, or
Sl2.0o0.oO0. while of the S74.995. 442 of sill
yer produced California's share was only
S465, 455. and these proportions have been
maintained for many years. In the census

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

The New York Erening Post, which
shares with the Times of the same city the
unenviabie distinction of being Mr.. Cleve-
lands personal organ. has employed moIe
headlines than 1t usually uses to empha-
size the declaration that she Senate of the
United States is simply an obstruction.
How tits to be removed will probably be
explained in future issue Of the Cleve-
land organ. The Senate drew the execu-
tive fire by hesltating TO execute the man
date that the slver-purch asing clause of
the Sherman act should be repealed. 1t is
row intimated that combination of anti
ad dministration Democrats and Republi-
cans may be formed to defeat the Wilson
tariff bill. History tells of another ruler

paper, says: The Wilson bill plus an in

party. To this the New York Sun. a tariff

The Record must admit. however. that the
opponents of Mr.. Wilson are not very
mad or they would find more damaging
epithets TO apply to him. 1t is not dis
grace to have been a professor. A good
many excellent people court the distinc-

arises from the fact that most Of the pro-
