MORE INSTRUMENTATION.


The statement that the Mckinley law
"curtailed our trade relations and imped-
ed our entrance to the markets of the
world" is as grossly inaccurate as the
other statement in reference to revenues
produced by that act. Instead of curtail-
ing or reducing our trade relations or our
entrance to the markets of the world, the
official figures show that in no period Of
the history of the country, either before
the date Of the s'Command' or since,
have our trade relations with other parts
Of the world been as great. During the
rs months in which the law was in opera
ton, the exports amounted to 81, OO9, 49,
100, or an annual average of 1864, 534, $40.
The largest years expectations in the en-
tire history of the country previous to
that time were 1857, 1928, 694, and the ex-
ports under the new tariff law in it's Is
| months have averaged at the rate Of $770,-
SIS, O52 year. So it will be seen ii at So
far as ''our entrance to the markets of the
world is concerned, the most successful
period in the entire history Of the coun-
try, without an exception was the very
two years in which the Mckinley law had
been in operation.
In the matter of imports the same CON
ditions apply to the same period. The
imports during the first 25 months Of the
Mckinley law were 81, 1873, 997, 100, an
! average Of 1862, 31S, ga a year, while the
highest year $ reports preceding that had
been but S7s9,3l0, 409 and the average
imports under the new tariff law at the
rate of S77O, 53S, O32. Thus it will be seen
that in the matter Of both exports and
imports the period covered by the Nc
Kinley law prior to the date of the ''com-
mand,'' was the most prosperous in the
entire history of the country down to the
present time, not emitting the period
covered by the Wilson law. Uniting the
imports and exports, the entire annual
commerce Of the United States during the
Is months of the Mckinley law was ST.
1876, S54, 1854 per year, while the highest
year preceding that time was 81 ,647, 1870, !
O93, and the average per year under the

the President could have made state
| ment OF this kind, when the official figures

the exact reverse, is difficult to under
stand 1t can scarcely be possible that
he supposed that all Of the members OF
Congress to whom he was making this
| statement were SO ignorant of the facts as
to accept it without question, while tn e
most casual examination Of the official
records would have shown him that the
| statement would not bear the light Of crit

| 1t may be of interest to take up the
statements in detail of this single SEN
tence in which he disposes Of the tariff
question, and compare them with the
facts and figures from official publications
of the Treasury Department. His first
statement is that the customs revenue
system which was set aside by command
of the people was inefficient for the pur-
pose of revenue The command Of
the people to which he refers was, OF
course, the election of 1892, by which the
free trade Congress was chosen. That
election occurred in the early days Of
November, when the Mckinley law hat
been 25 months in operation. The law
it will be remembered, went into effec'
Nov. /, 1890, and the election which Mr.
Cleveland CONSTITUTES as command Of the
people to dispense with this law occurred

RECEIPTS ABOVE EXPENDITURES.
In the 25 months the receipts Of the
Treasury were s3s, 175, 40 in excess of
the expenditures. To 60 more into de-
tail the receipts in those 25 months were
$3.50, 395, 942, and the expenditures S721,-
220, POP, making the surplus for the 25
months s3S, 175, 74O.
Just why President Cleveland should
speak Of an act which met all running ex-
penses and provided surplus of 81, $780,
600 per month as inefficient for the pur-
pose of revenue" it is difficult to under
stand. 1t is more difficult to understand
why he should, in criticising this act,
speak in praise of the one substituted for
it, which has caused deficiency Of nearly
s., 200, 600 per month during it's entire
operation, the Mckinley law in the %
months producing surplus of s3s, OOO,-
900, while the Wilson law, which was
made its successor, has in Is months pro-
duced deficit of $40, 600, 600.

The Washington Star announ-
ces that TIE election of Senator
Shoup to succeed himself may
result in the declination of Sena-
tor Dubois to be a candidate for
reelection. The article goes on
to show that the election of a
second senator for Idaho seems
to demand the selection of sue
cessor to Dubois from northern
Idaho, two years from now.
Continuing, the Star says:
eff Dubois should be candi-
date for his own successor it
would probably mean that north
Idaho would be shut out for sew
eral more years from the covet-
ed senatorship. This may cause
trouble, and the state would lose
the large Republican vote in that
section, which might give it to
the fusionists. Dubois has con-
sidered all these questions, and
it is possible that rather than to
risk the loss of the state and his
own defeat, he will come down
gracefully, say that north Idaho
is entitled to the senatorship. and
he will favor any man the Re-
publicans of that section NAV
unite upon. This would be a
very popular thing for Dubois
TO do, but his friends in the
southern part of Idaho may think
that he should not make such a
sacrifice and insist upon his be-
ing a candidate.
1t is probable that on account
of his opposition to Shoup this
old political ally could not be
depended upon to support him.
And if he is a candidate he will
find red hot fight all along the
line. These considerations may
induce him to do the graceful in
declination. But the silver
men of his state, as we'll as the
silver leaders outside may insist
that on account of the hard fight
he has always made for the white
metal, he should be retained in
his place"

The biggest gold mine ia the
world is now being worked in
Wall street, New York. Origin
ally surface formation, it has
developed into well extended
ledge of unusual size, and is be-
ing worked for all it's worth. No
mining machinery is bought, and
there are no assessments. Last
month a dividend of 81, 200, 900
was declared one weeks OBJ
Grafton, in addition to the regu-
lar profits. Neither the Utica of
Angels nor the Kennedy of
Amador can compare with the
profit derived from the Wall
street mine, and the wonderful
yield of the Witwatersand is only
pocket when compared with
the freest of free gold, 900 fine,
that is produced in the aurifer-
GUS workings of the eastern
syndicate. In after years, when
the marvellous tales of '49 are
told to unbelieying ears, it may
be that the mines of '94 will be a
myth, but at present they are a
monopoly and are protected by

The following paragraph, cred

tied to the London Echo, shows
how Englishmen-some of them
at least-regard the American
outlook. Who will dare to say,
with the facts of today before
him, that the picture is over
drawn
1.-THE signs of the times indi-
cate that before the sun rises on
January l, 1900, the
great American nation will groan
and writhe in an agony of revo-
luton, and the streets of all her
great cities will be slippery with
blood-a hundred drops of blood
for each gem that flashes on the
necks of the rich and pampered
women and ten drops for every
tear that has washed the face of
the poor Politics is so rotten
that it stinks. Everybody knows
it and no one cares. America is
no longer republic. II is a
plutocracy. The President is
merely the creation of bank di-
rectors, railroad kings and coal
barons, and it is the same with
the Governors of the States. The
poor whine about their poverty
and gnaw their crusts of bread,
but can always be relied upon to
vote for the rich, and nine tenths
of them would shoulder theil
muskets and lay down their lives
in defense of the rich to rob
them. A nation such as this, in
which one million plutocrats
tyranize over sixty million slav-
es, will be either overthrow by
foreign foe or die of gangrene.
The various labor organizations
neither think together, vote to-
gether nor work together and
they have no money to buy votes,
lawyers and judges. Soldiers
and police shoot down laboring
people and are cheered. on in
their bloody work by monopolies
and the clergy. But the day
will soon come when there will
be horrible dance to death,
lighted up by burning houses
and the music of cries and groans
and dynamite and bombs. Rich
oilers amuSe themselves at New
port and Tuxedo; poor workers
toll ceasely in the darkness of
the mine and din of the mill.
Young men and women dawdle
over iced champagne and oyster
parties, old men and women
pick rotten food out of garbage
cans. Lap dogs are driven
through Central Park to take the
air; children die of overwork in
filthy garrets. Piety in the
White House is enjoying the
fruits of bribery-infdelity in
the tenement house enduring the
punishment of uprightness.
These are the signs of the times
in America today-signs that
point to calamity too dreadful to
imagine, but which nothing can
avert"
