"THE mortgages on farm values
do not exceed sixteen per cent-a
less incumbrance on capital invested
than in any other line of industry"
Remember what was one of the dem
ocratic stock arguments in the cam
paign of 1892, viz: that the farmers
were mortgaged to death and that the
republican party was responsible for
it, and then tell us, if you can, what
republican writer is trying to fool
the people by making such a pre-
posterous statement as the one above
quoted. Well, it isn't a republi-
can statement at all; it is the Ian
guage of President Cleveland's DEM
ocrat secretary of agriculture, Secre-
tary Morton, used in his official re-
port as compiled from the census re-
turns of 1890, and is complete ref
utation of the democrat falsehood
that was so industriously circulated
during the last presidential campaign
and which deceived so many voters.
Secretary Morton does not say-he
does not know-how fast farm mort
cages have increased or decreased
under the rule or ruin rule of the
present administration. 1t is very
evident, though, that fifty cent wheat
and ten cent wool have not served to
make any marked reduction in their
amount. He does say, however that
the exports of farm products have
fallen off very largely, and we all
know the "home market" has been
much less valuable than under re.
publican rule. The ''markets of the

THE unspeakable Turk would do
well to stop and think that not
Xerxes, Alexander, Hannibal, Ce-
sar, Napoleon, Wellington or any
ancient or modern military leader
had at his command such force as
the combined strength of the Euro
pean nations confronting him can al
most instantly call forth. The Turk
would do we'll to consider. Should
he persist in his outrages until the
nations are forced to 60 at him in
dead earnest, the military pomp and
magnificent armies will be enough to
annihilate the empire if it does not
choose submission.

CALVIN S. Brice of New York an,

CALVIN S. Brice of New York and
Ohio has always been one of those
democrats who, in spite of all adver-
sity, were confident of success. Now
he says: "The results of the elections
of 1895 make it most certain that the
nominee of the next republican ma.
tional convention will be elected
president" Calvin is right. He
sees the handwriting on the wall and
correctly interprets it.

What Will Be Done?

Congress will meet on Monday
next, and the eyes of the country are
upon it, wondering what will be the
result of its labors. 1t is foregone
conclusion that Scar" Reed will do
the quorum counting again this win
ter, and people generally are pleased
because of the certainty of the pre-
vention of flibustering by factious
minority in the lower house.
The question of first Importance
will be that of revising the revenue
laws in such a manner as to provide
sufficient income to meet national ex-
penses and to gradually pay off the
public debt. The constitution pro-
vides that all revenue measures shall
originate in the lower house, which
is the only republican branch of the
law making power. The revenue
bill which will originate in the house
is bound to be laid on the good old re-
publican lines of protection, and it is
reasonably certain that restoration
of duties on woods and wooden goods
will make up an important portion
of the bill. Whether such measure
can pass the senate, and, if it does,
whether the president will permit it
to become law, are matters that
only time can determine. 1t would
indeed be political marvel to see
Grover Cleveland sign a bill provid-
ing for wholesome wool tariff; but
perhaps, not approving of the bill, he
will permit it to become law by de-
fault, as he did the mongrel tariff
Dill that he had characterized as party
perfdy and dishonor. At any rate,
the republican house should stand
firmly by republican principles and
insist upon the needed revenue be-
ing raised by protective tariff duties.
AS someone has said, if the president
and the administration don't like it,
they can keep on borrowing. The
present seriously depleted condition
of the treasury and of the gold re-
serve renders it imperative that some
thing be done, and that quickly.
1t is probable, also, that some f.
nancial measure will be framed in
the house; but how bill from the
bi-metalhst house can pass free
silver senate and a gold standard
president, it is difficult to conceive.
On the whole, it is probable the
session will be an uneventful one so
far as the enactment of new legisla-
ton is concerned, as the republicans
have the house, the populists hold
the balance of power in the senate
and the democrats the presidency; but
some of the debates on the floor of
the two houses, the presidents mes
sage and the measures introduced
will doubtless attract great public
interest and do much to clarity the
political atmosphere and to fix the
issues between the parties for next
years campaign. The presidents
message will open the ball and moth
ing will be said as to the plans of the
session by any party leaders until
after the president has made his re-
concentrations. The session will
prove interesting, if not profitable.

In spite OF the fact that the duties on
window glass have been reduced nearly
one-half by the provisions of the new
tariff the manufacturers have formed a
trust. The trust has already advanced
prices nearly 18 per cent, and another
advance of per cent is likely to follow.
What becomes of the argument that a
protective tariff fosters trusts, and that
a revision of duties according to Demo
cratic ideas would be deathblow to
such combinations Troy Times

SELL, BUT DON'T BUY.
FREE TRADE ENGLAND GOES BACK
ON FREE TRADE THEORIES.

Results Of Wilson Bill Workings stsrtie
Democrats - British Buyers Purchase
Elsewhere, but Sellers Abound Here.
Double Their Exports.
We have already discussed the free
trade theory that if we do not buy we
cannot sell. We have shown by our own
import and export statistics that, since
the German tariff went into effect with
its first approach to free trade, we have
been buying very literally from foreign
countries, rut, on the other hand, we
have been selling less than usual in the
markets of the world. AS the results
of our actual experience have proved dlf-
ferent from free trade theories and prom
ises, we thought it best to examine the
results of Englan buying and selling
There we have an absolute free trade
country, while here the free traders
might claim that their theories have
not assumed practical shape because the
German tariff is partially protective.
Without going into all the details of
British foreign trade we take their ex-
ports of wooden goods and their i'm
ports of some food products, these being
possibly their two most important lines
of trade. Here are the figures for the
eight months ending Aug. 81 of the
present year:

Since our new tariff ON wool and
wooden goods went into effect England
has increased her sales of wooden goods
in the United States to the extent of
$17, 10000 more than she sold us of
similar goods during the corresponding
months of 1894 1t is thus evident that
England is increasing her sales with
our first approach toward free trade, but
how is it with her buying?
In the half dozen food products that
has bought from us during the first
eight months Of the present year to the
extent of $15,000,00 less than she
bought from us last year With larger
sales of wooden goods by $l7,500, 900
and smaller purchases of naf dozen
food products by SIS, 900, 900, it is evil
dent that England is doing pretty we'll
since the German tariff went into effect.
But unfortunately the theory of Amer
lean free traders that ''if we do not buy
we cannot SELF still remains to be
proved, for England is buying much
less from us and selling us much more.
We are buying more, and selling less T;
they are selling more, but buying less.
Our statistics show that although we
are doing the buying, we are not doing
the selling that we used to under pro.
lection. Their statistics show that they
are doing the selling, although they are
not doing as much buying as when we
had protection.
We should like some free trade edi-
tor to explain the why and the where
fore Of this condition Of affairs, which
contrasts so strangely with the free
trade theories and promises of the past.

A DISPATCH to the daily papers
from Lexington, KY, says "the DEM
ocrats are moving heaven and earth
to get majority in the new legis-
lature." Fraud is probable, in order
to overcome the narrow republican
majority and put Joe Blackburn
back in the senate. One would think
the democrats of Kentucky would
learn a lesson from their Tennessee
neighbors, who have disrupted the
party IN their state by stealing the
governorship. In each instance, a
matter of much graver Importance
than governorship or seat in the
senate devolved upon the action of
democratic party, namely, the well
being Of that party. But even in the
face of certain disintegration as nat
ural result of fraud, it is difficult to
teach political honesty to the south
elm democracy.
