Of raw material cheaper than be~
fore. All this was in the natur-
al course Of things. Yet it is
plain that d statistical com pari-
son between 1894 and 1895 must
show difference that, consider
ed by itself, would be entirely
misleading.
Not only was the former year
exceptional, bnt the conditions
OF the latter year were in many
ways exceptional also. In no di-
rection had trade yet settled into
perfectly normal channels. The
iron market. the cotton market,
the wool market of to>day is very
different from the market Of a
year ago Or from the fiscal year
last past. To generalize about a
tariff from the bare figures OF the
first II months would be hazard
Gus DIT any time; in a period com
piicated by currency panic and
its resulting inequalities, the at
tempt is in measure absurd.
unless guided by the most CON-
plete understanding of all the
conditions, the most scrupulous
inpartiality and the utmost
breadth of view. These are not
the qualities conspicuous in the
currency discussion of the duty

Washington News.

Washington, Oct. 11.-Inquiries
by mail and telegraph have been
received in considerable num-
bers of late at the Department Of
Justice as to whether it is a vio-
lation of the laws of the United
States for American citizens to
express sympathy for the Cuban
insurgents in public meetings
and to aid in fitting out expedis
tions to assist them. One of the
most recent is from Mr.. Watkins,
of Albany, N. Y. In reply to it.
Attorney General Harmon has
sent the following letter, which
represents the views of the Ad-
ministration on the subject:
'Sir-F7or some reason your
letter of September 26th did
not reach me until to day. I has
ten to say in reply that tie or
ganizaJiop of a military expedi-
ton of any sort in the United
States in aid of the insurrection
in Cuba would be in direct viola
tion of section 1886 of the Re
vised Statutes Of the United
States, which provide for fine
not exceeding So, 900 and i'm pris-
onment not more than three
years, for every person who in
any way takes part in such expe-
ditions OR enterprises to be car
ried or from thence against any
province, State, etc, with whom
the United States are at peace ,"
AS the United States are not
only at peace with Spain, but
have with her a treaty where
by the extradition of prisons
ers and many other benefits are
secured, it behooves all Ameri-
can citizens who have respect for
the laws and obligations of their
country and regard for its honor
to observe this law in spirit as
we'll as in letter; to0be neut- al in
word as well as in deed. While
there is no law to prevent Amer
lean citizens from speaking their
sentiments on any subject, singIy
or together, taking such action
as you mention in your letter
would, in my Judgment, be di
corteous in the highest degree to
a friendly power, and tend to EN-
barrass and obstruct the Govern
ment in carrying out its deter-
mination.faithfully to execute the
laws and fulfill it's treaty obliga-
tions.
Respectfully,
JUDSON HARMON,
Attorney -Geuerai.

BUSINESS INCREASINH
Improvement Reported in Almost
All Lines.


New York, October 11-Bra :
streets report says: Cooler
weather has stimulated a season
able demand for staple dry
goods, millinery and clothing,
and jobbers in these lines in all
parts of the country feel the i'm
provement. Relatively most
gains have been made at the
South, where an Improvement is
reported in almost ali lines. In
terror merchants are placing
more liberal orders than for sew
eral years, and larger distribnt-
ing centres report sales of goods
to the cotton belt and collections
therefrom exceptionally free.
The more unfavoraole features
are found in disappointment at
the moderation with which
wheat is exported from week to
week, the reported weakness in
pig iron end steel billets and in
the competition suffered by DO
mestic woolleu manufacturers
from abroad but an examination
of these conditions indicates that
if reports of the size of the wheat
crop and of wheat stocks carried
over be accepted, the average
weekly exports from this coun-
try, if kept up to the end of the
crop year, will exhaust the amount
OF wheat available for shipment
abroad.
The total number of business
failures throughout the United
States number 263 this week,
against 255 last week, 23S in the
week year ago, 4O6 two years
ago and 191 in 1892.
More encouraging business
features are found in the contin-
ued advance in the price OF cot
ton, which in turn has put up
prices of several varieties cf cot
ton goods and in the prospect
for the maintenance of these
rates, which, with freer move
ment Of cOttoL at the South, are
having a very favorable influence
Oh the business in that portion of
the country. St. Louis merchants
wire tnat Southern merchants |
are outdoing themselves in plac-
ing orders.
Reports to Bradstreet's Of
gross railway earnings in Sep~
tember point to continuous
growth of railway transportation
business as the Autumn advan-
ces, accompanied by enlarged
gains over corresponding per
iOds in 1894. Increases are most
numerous and percentages of |
gain larger among the Granger
and Southern roads, pointing to
an enlarged movement Of mer-
chandise, grain aid cotton in
sections which have heretofore
been backward in this respect.
