EX- Minister White on the Silver
Question.

Syracuse, n. ", June 2S.-An-
drew D. White, eX-minister to Rus
STA, has returned to his old home
here. In an interview he said he
knew nothing about politics on this
side now. Since leaving Russia
he had travelled through Germany
and as far South as Sicily, and he
had, therefore, missed many of the
American papers. In regard to the
silver question Mr.. White said
Only opinion as to the silver
question IS: 1t seems to me, and
think to the vast majority Of
thinking men who know anything
about business affairs, that, while
It would be a good thing if we
could get the nations of the world
to make to make an agreement
which would result in larger use
of silver, and while many of the
leading men in foreign nations.

Vest it is because England for
more than fifty years has been gov
erned BY enlightened, far-seeing
craftsmanship that looked to the
greatness and glory Of England
rather than TO the enrichment of a
class, while the United States has
been largely governed in the inter

All this outcry about the subser
wing of the United States to Eng

land because England has been
able to lend us gold to protect our
credit, and develop our resources
is vicious, deliberate and contemp
tiblc demagoguery. The papers
and politicians engaged in it-that
is the intelligent nes-know that
it is so; but they know that it al
ways raises enthusiasm in the av-
erage ignorant or fool American to
abuse England, and they deliber-
ately use these catch-cries to gain
their point, knowing they are do
ing wicked wrong.

to unload their old and superan-

enue tariff has been wagered the
same old cry of "British Cold has
gone up from the protected manu-
facturers, greedy plutocrats and
their hired agents in Congress and

And thus it goes. The silver

WHY GOLD Is EXPORTED.

To the New York Commercial
Advertiser the public il indebted
for a careful compilation of figures
bearing upon the relation Of the
Wilson tariff bill to the exporta.
ton Of, gold. The Wilson bill
was1intended to increase importa'
ton of European, and especially
of British goods to the United
States. 1t hsa succeeded admir-.
ably in it's purpose. Our importa-
tions from Great Britain alone
were near to twice as great during
the time elapsing between Sept. l
and Dec. 81, 1894, as during the
corresponding period Of 1898.
They stood at $15,3o5,665 for the
last four months of 1898, and at
$28, 590,560 for the last four
months of 1894.
These imports have to be paid
for by the United States. The
free traders told us that the more
We bought from Great Britain the
more Great Britain would buy
from US, and that at the end ofany
year Great Britain would be our
debtor, because it would have been
forced to buy food and raw ma.
terial from us in excess of the
value Of the manufactured goods
that we bought from it. Expe.
rience has proved the untruthful.
ness of this prediction. For,
while our bill for purchases OF
goods from Great Britain during
the last four months of 1894 was
greater by $13,284, 1896 than during
the corresponding period of 1898,
Great Britain's bill for purchases
of food, raw material, and articles
of every kind from the United
States was less by $14, 1854 our
exports to that country having
stood at $115, $3.50, 220 from Sept. 1,
to Dec. 81, 1898, and at $101, 371,
TAO during the like period of 1894.
Thus the accounting of mercantile
