The charge that American manufacturers
soil tor export at better prices than they do at
home, so far as we are Concerned, Is not true.
Our prices to foreigl buyers are home prices,
and packing or packages extra. Goods that
are sold abroad at less than home prices are
goods that have gone out Of date at home, or
cannot be sold at home by manufacturer for
the reason OF their having put q later pattern
OF improved machine upon tho market, which.
for home market, makos the g.. style article
unstable. Overproduction by manufacturers
may be disposed OF at lower than home prices
where 1t completes with foreign goods and does
not hurt the home prices. The latter instances
are rare. All American manufacturers are re-
duced to the lowest prices In their home mar
let by the sharp competition which now rules
and they cannot make lower prices TO foreign
trade unless they are philalthroplc enough to
manufacture at a loss.
This Is O thrcadoare old charge and has been
so often and fully denied that no party can re-
tterate IL except when driven TO extremities.
Yours truly,

THE OLD LIARS Q

Manufacturer Deny That They Sell Their
Goods Cheaper for Export Than at Home.
The old time campaign cry is being
rooted up from the hotbeds of demo
cratic falsehoods IN the effort to show
that manufacturers are charging lower
prices for their goods shipped abroad
than they sell the same articles for in
this country. Those old lies have been
contradicted time and again. The falsi-
fers try to rig up an argument by COM
pairing a retail price in this country
with a wholesale export price for ship
ment abroad, or by comparing the
values of articles of a similar character
but of an entirely different quality. 1t
is the same old lie dishcd up again to
try and bolster up the desperate con-
ditions of free traders. Here are two
letters that have been in our possession
for a couple of months, which speak
for themselves:

Money Circulation Decreasing,

We had $685. per capita in ~circula-
ton in 1860, over half of which was
state bank currency of uncertain value.
The per capita circulation in 1898 was
1851, every dollar of which was worth
100 cents in every county in the United
States. While population was onl-
double in 1890 what it was in 1850, the
volume of currency was four times as
great. A year later, 1894, the circula-
ton of money had decreased by 80 n
per capita, and this with only the
threat of free trade hanging over us.

be should we ever reach unadulterated

A New Zealand paper says that the
prohibition movement is assuming aw-
full proportions In New Zealand. It is
no longer a campaign against drink,
but against the individual drinker. In
the smaller towns the movement hae
an eye on everybody, and If it consid!
ers that n persons nose is too wildly
illustrated, or his breath is not up to
sample, some prohibition advocate calls
upon him. Then, having leaned his
black umbrella against the door post,
he extracts with his block gloved hand
n notebook from the tail pocket of his
black coat and asks him what he drinks.
While lie is waiting for IN answer he
fishes out a pencil from his black waist
coat and stands ready to enter tho
name of the drink in his book. If the
information is not satisfactory he most
likely calls On the woman next door
and asks il the suspected person is ever
seen intoxicated, if anyone has noticed
his breath, IL he looks wild on Satur-
day nights, IL he comes home late and
has a difficulty with his keyhole, if he
swears or makes n disturbance, if he is
ever seen bringing home drink, and
various other questions. lie notes
down all the answers, and demands
whether the Intercepted females own
husband is strictly sober, and whether
she has any suspicious concerning any
one else In the neighborhood. Then
he goes round to the back and looks
over the fence to see IL there are any
bottles lying about.
Some of the forty or fifty state agri-
cultural colleges make special provis-
ion for students wishing to work their
way through college. Such students
work daily on the experimental college
farm and receive current wages. There
are many free scholarships in these coll
leges and board and lodging are cheap,
so that Il working student finds that
his labor goes far toward paying his
way Tutoring pays better, however,
and very clever men sometimes earn
from 1000 to Sl,h00 per year in help
ing through their dullcr fellows. Such
opportunities, however, are foundlv on
in the great colleges, and are few. At
one of these institutions one successful
young lawyer Of New York city is said
to have earned 80, 600 in IA single year
tutoring while yet an undergraduate.

A society called the Institute OF
Journalists is being organized in Eng
Ian for the purpose of raising the
standard of admission to their pro-

ciates or apprentices, and the other for
members. For the FIRST class the ex-
animation includes English history and
literature, arithmetic and geography,
composition, skill in ~condensing and

FOR the advanced degree is examined in
these subjects and also political and

staple articles needed in the house
hold are probably cheaper today than
ever before in the history of the country
while wages, which of late years have
been higher than farmers could afford to
pay, are gradually coming down to where

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Republicans of Vermont should
not forget that September 1 will be the
only time when their votes will count
in State or congressional election for
two years to come, and if they fail to
make their real verdict known now the
consequences may be far-reaching
- Burlington Free Press.
The fact is that Vermont Democrats,
like all others, are completely demor-
allied. They are keeping mighty quiet.
Popular feeling is such that they have
no disposition to show themselves or in
any way attract attention to their
political selves. And when you come to
that Democratic majority in the Green
Mountain State-WCl. no Democrat
wants to hear about it. The report upon
every hand is of Democrats who bitterly
regret the "change." and are determined
to vote the Republican ticket hereafter.
