and our exports are smaller. Canada
and the far-off wool-producing countries
have gained immensely by the substitu-
ton Of the Democratic tariff for the Nc
Kinley law. In these changes no pro-

can farmer In value, more than twice
as many dollars worth of animals, hay,

tariff than under the Mckinley law dur
ing corresponding period. The impor-
tation of wool in value has been six
times as much during that period. under
the Democratic tariff, as under the Re-
publican. The gain will be greater for
the outsider as the years pass unless the
tariff is changed in the interest of the
American producer. Therefore. upon
what ground the Democrats may pitch
whatever battle they may make in 1896,
the Republicans will be certain to make

of the American producer the leading

CHINA WANTS. SILVER
AND AMERICANS WILL ENDEAvOR
TO GIVE ALL SHE NEEDS.
Capitalists Trying to Secure the Loan
Made Necessary by the War In
demnity-The Mora Claim.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Negotiations
have recently been opened through agents
in China of American interests with a view
to having China secure from American
capitalists the amount of silver. requisite
to pay the Chinese war indemnity of 2o0,-
100000 taels to Japan. The indemnity is
payable in Chinese taels, worth about SO
cents in American gold. Under the terms
Of the Chlno-Japanese treaty which have
not heretofore been stated. the payments
are TO be made as follows: 50.000.0OO taels
payable six months from the ratification Of
the treaty; 100000 faels year from that
date and the remaining 10O,00e,0a0 taels
payable In six annual installments. The first
payment of 5O.0O00O0 taels falls due next
November.
The names of the Americans interested
in the negotiations could not be learned at
the Chinese or Japanese legation. If Amer
lean silver was used to meet the indemnity
the amount would be equal to the silver
coinage for two years while the Sherman
law was in operation. 1t was reported
some time ago that China had raised the
war indemnity in Paris by securing the
guaranty of Russia and France This has
not been confirmed, however, and the loan
has not yet been made. The present nego-
tiations with Russia and France refer
mostly to the extra indemnity 10 be given
because of the remuneration of the Lao
Tung peninsula by Japan and do not refer
10 the main loan which the Americans wish
TO secure.

TOO MUCH COURTESY.

The delegates opposed to the free COIN
age of silver in the Lincoln League con-
vention were in the ratio of Is to l to
those in favor. OF this there is no doubt.
In that proportion the delegates may be
said to have been opposed TO any action
by the league convention. Such was the
policy outlined by Senator Thurston. of
Nebraska. The delegates were so OPP
posed TO opening the question that the
convention voted that all resolutions
should be referred to the committee with
out reading. On the subcommittee to re-
port resolutions TO the full committee,
two of the nine. by courtesy, were ac-
corded to the free coinage people. They
have no real strength in the convention,
and yet the other members of the SUBJ
committee permitted those two men and
other men in the convention to make it
appear that the assembly was disposed
to listen to them. or, at least, to tenn
porize with them.
While the final action will be in ac-
cordance with the purpose Of nine-tenths
Of the convention, this temporizing with
a few men from the silver States is Ike
ly to be misunderstood. There is such a
thing as carrying courtesy too far, par
tlcularly with these men from Idaho
and Utah. who have practically declared
that their support cannot be counted on
unless free coinage Is Endorsed. The bet
ter way would have been for the COM
mittee on resolutions to have reported
promptly and for the convention to have
settled the question without debate, or at
least without giving the impression that
the majority of 16 to 1 were attempting
to placate these few men who have only
one idea, and that is to double the value
of silver bullion by free coinage.
AS it is. the majority has permitted the
minority-the small and Insignificant
minority-to make the silver question the
most prominent before the country when
it is not. The Republican conventions
in Ohio and Kentucky adopted sound
money platforms without a dissenting
voice. Even the delegations to the league
convention from Oregon and Nebraska
are opposed to action by that body. and.
in the event Of a vote, they are opposed
to free coinage. In view of such facts as
these the dallying with the free coinage
men from the silver-producing States
seems inexcusabie, as there is danger
that il may be regarded as hesitancy

1t is a long time back to June 20. 1887
the day on which Victoria became the
Queen of Great Britain. The rulers are
few, indeed, who have held the scepter
over a nation fifty-eight years, even
nominally. as does the head of the Brit
ish empire. Victoria was seventy-six
years of age May "a, but enjoys degree
of health from which it may be expected
that she may pass the sixtieth year of
her reign. The duties of the occupant Of
the British throne are nominal. The
party in power makes the government
and determines its policy. Her influence
upon the British aristocracy has been
most salutary, depressing the vices which
have made courts infamous. and it is
safe to say that no one person has occu-
pied such an exalted position any length
of time who holds the respect of the civ
ilized world TO such a degree as does
Queen Victoria.

STATISTICS FOR FARMERS.
How the Wilson Law Has Affected
Agricultural Products.

Washington Special to New York Tribune.
The thirty millions of people in this coun-
try who i've by agriculture or are depend,
not be pleased with the operations of the
new tariff law. 1t was felt when the law
to the agricultural interests, but il was not
expected that IL would more than double
the importations of farm products and at
portations of agriculture. But that is the
record it has made thus far. In every arti
Gle produced by the farmer there has been
an enormous increase in importations, and
the falling off of expectations in farm prod
ucts since the new law went into effect has
amounted to S60,0C0.oOO in the two great farm
staples of bread and meat alone. A careful
analysis of the operation of the new law
produces some facts that will startle the
farmers, especially those who voted for "a
change" In 1892
The Republicans in Congress. it will be
remembered, made vigorous protest
farm products, but, of course, were help
less. 1t is now possible to see what are the
articles produced by the farmers. Taking
the statements of the Treasury Department
covering the imports for the first eight
with those of the corresponding eight
months of the last year under the Mckinley
law 1t Is i, found f that there has been an in
portations of farm products and that the
total Imports Of this class Of articles. have
single article of farm production found in
the list which has not Increased in impor-
tations, while nearly all the agricultural
exports have decreased many millions.
The importation of farm products from
Aug. l, 1894, to May !, 1895, under the new
law amounted to over $65,000,OO0 in value
against S29,W0,C00 in the corresponding
months of the preceding year under the
Mckinley law. This. it should be remem-
bered, relates exclusively to the class of
articles which come into competition with
the products of the farms of this country
and includes animals, breadstuffs, eggs,
feathers, flax, fruits. hay. hemp, hides.
hops. cotton, provisions, seeds, rice to-
bacco, vegetables and wool. On the other
hand there has been, since the new law
went into effect, reduction of many mill
lions in the exports of farm products such
as hay, hops, oilcake and meal, seeds, veg
etables. corn, wheat, flour and meats IL
is apparent that the first year of the new
law will show loss Of more than 500, 900 900
to the farmers OF the country alone in the
Increased imports and decreased exports of
the classes Of articles which they pro-
duce.
The following tables show the imports of
farm products during the first eight months
under the new law compared with the i'm
ports in the corresponding months of the
preceding year under the Mckinley law
also the exports in the first ten months of
the present fiscal year compared with the
corresponding ten months of the preceding
year under the old law. 1t will be observed
that there Is an Increase In the importa-
tons OF every article produced by the
farmers and reduction Of the exports of
nearly all the important farm products.

So quietly has the German government
pursued the construction Of it's canal
connecting the North and the Baltic seas
that it is something of surprise to learn
that it is fifty-nine miles in length and
has cost over 100000 1t will change
the current of large traffic, saving time
and money and the dangers of an ex-
posed and stormy coast. The Emperor
has made the opening the occasion to
glorify German nationality and to i'm
press it's potency upon the people. The
response which this appeal of the EN-
peror called forth shows that, however
the German people may differ respecting
methods of government, they are one in
regard to sentiment of nationality. The
one suggestive expression in the Emper-
or's address was the emphasis he put
upon the necessity of the peace of Eu-
rope. If other rulers could agree with
him, portions of the vast armies and
ornaments which are grievous burdens
could be got rid of.
