AN lNEXPLICABLE MYSTERY
We must confess that it is a mat
ter of inexplicable mystery to us,
why pr0fessedly Democratic jour.
nails should so persistently, con.
tinuously, IN season and out OF
season, assail a Democratic admin
istration, when it is known that
the effect of these vituperative as.
saults, will be to defeat, if not &C.
tually to disintegrate the party.
But perhaps they prefer the cen.
Trailing principles of the Republic
can or the socialistic doctrines OF
the Populistic party, TO those OF
the faithful sentinel which has
stood guard since the adoption OF
the Federal Constitution, over tht
reserved rights of the States ant
the civil liberty of the people.

FRANCE NOT A SILVER COUN.
TRY-The free silver organs are
in the habit Of frequently referring
to France as one OF the prosperous
counties maintaining a bimetallit
standard, when the fact is that
whatever prosperity exists among
the people of that country is due
more to it's gold, than silver circu
lation, as there is nearly twice as
much of the former, as Of the lat
ter in circulation. Indeed, there
is less silver in France than there
is in the United States. Hence, it
cannot consistently be claimed as d
silver country.

The free silverlteS when told
that the continued agitation OF the
Is to l craze, would have the eff
feet of disrupting the Democratic
party, are i'll the habit OF retort-
ing, that if such a dire calamity
should happen, it will be produced
by the refusal of what they oppro-
briously term "gold bugs to abide
uy the decision Of the national
Democratic convention. In refu-
tation Of such assertion, it is only
necessary to reproduce the follow
ing colloquy between Judge Brame
and Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, who
is recognized as the leader of the
free silver men in the crusade to
drive gold out Of the country and
debase the national currency. 1t
occurred during the delivery of his
speech at Jackson, Miss, while he
was ell route home, after having
routed the New Orleans "gold
bugs" horse, foot and dragons :
After speaking until alter IL
O'clock, Mr.. Bryan was asked by
Judge Brame thiS question: "Ii
the Democratic party refuses to
adopt a silver platform at ratio
of l6 to l, will you support the
party :"
In response he claimed that he
had always been Democrat; that
he had been nursed by a Demo
cratic mother, and that he was a
Democrat from principle. He
evaded the answer, and great ex
element prevailed. The question
WAS put again, and categorical
answer required. He responded
II will tell you what mir. Whit
ney said"
The crowd cried: owe know
what Mr.. Whitney said, but VT
wish to know what you say"
He again evaded the question
and said that if the Republican
party should steal Democratic
principles he would not support
1t, but would support the true
Democrat.
He was again asked the ques
ton. He replied:
III will not vote to punish my
people"
The confusion and excitement
became great, and cries of can
swer the question:" came from {
hundred lips. Still he evaded it
Then he turned to Judge Bramt
and asked him what he would do
Judge Brame replied that hi
would support the Democratic
platform, no matter what platform
it adopted. Whether it declared
for silver or for gold, or for both
ne would support it, and then ask
ed MIR. Bryan, "Should the Demo
cratic party adopt gold platform
will you support it ~
"Answer I! Answer! Answer =

Finally goaded to direct au,

Up to ten years ago the only
means New Zealand sheep growers
had Of getting rid OF their surplus
stock was to boil the carcasses down
and ship the tallow. Tallow dropped
In price until 1t did not pay to ex-
port It, and the consequence was
that the price Of sheep fell until
they anticipated having to sell the
carcasses from twelve to eighteen
cents each. About five years ago
the system Of freezing the carcasses
for export was introduced, and the
result has been a decrease OF stock
until now they receive from $3.50 to
$8 per head for the carcasses. At
the average price they are getting In
London markets this makes about
four cents per pound net for the
mutton. They get three clips OF
wool from sheep before the carcass
10 shipped, although the demand has
increased to such an extent that
they are now slaughtering yearlings
for shipment.
New Zealand now exports about
100000 cross bred sheep. Aus.
tralia has over 100, 900, 600 sheep and
exports about 800, 900 sheep frozen.
