with this country has been to wiring from
our people all the money and other bene-
fits possible and to give just as little as
possible in return.
In the matter of buying breadstuffs
she gives decided preference to Russia
and the Argentine Republic. For ex
ample, in 1894, she increased her total
wheat imports by 100000 bushels over
1892, but bought only 46,02S.723 bushels
of the United States against 63,255,25l
bushels in 1892, and increased her pur-
chases from Russia by 2l,O00,0O0 bushels
and from the Argentine Republic by 49,
100000 bushels. In the light of these
instructive figures discriminating Ameri-
cans are able to approximate correct
estimate of the value of all this saccha
rine talk about "mother country" and
insoluble sites of blood"
But, however reluctant the British may
be to purchase our products, Americans
are able to extract more than morsel of
satisfaction from the thought that after
all England is to a very large degree de-
pendent upon the United States for food.
Cut the slight little island" off for one
season from the possibility of resorting
to the bursting granaries of this country,
and reduce her to the necessity of relying
exclusively on other markets for her
food supply without even the bene-
fit of the price reducing competi-
tion of the United States, and starvation
would stare her teeming millions of fac
tory operators in the face and dreadful
bread riots would swiftly ensue. In the
event of war growing out of the Vene-
zuela boundary line dispute, England,
which imports three fourths of her bread
stuffs and other foods in nearly equal
proportion, would soon find her immense
and costly naval establishment as power
less to feed her people as it would be to
save her vast commercial interests from
destruction. Battle-ships may enable
nation to do good deal of successful
bluffing, but they are not very good to

PRESS COMMENT.
Newspapers and Courts.

There is to be little local jollifioation
meeting down in Albuquerque tonight
over the release of Tom Hughes, editor
of the Albuquerque Citizen, from the Ber-
nalillo county Jail, In which he has served
a sentence of sixty days, imposed upon
HIM by majority of the members of the
territorial supreme court for contempt
ible, ill-timed, personal attack, particu-
larly upon the chief Justice of that body
an attack that could do no political
party, private individual, public policy
or partisan paper the least bit of good
in the world-an attack that Hughes &C.
knowledged over his own signature and
under oath was uncalled for, false and
malicious, not written by himself, and for
the appearance of which he made most
abject apology in his own newspaper,
this probably to mitigate the punishment
Apropos to the opinion of majority
of the supreme court in the Hughes con-
tempt case, the Optic can but relieve its
soul by openly confessing that it has very
little, if any, respect for newspaper that
will chronicle the departure of chief
Justice of the supreme court of the terri
tory of New Mexico from his home town
10 the following indecent aud insinuating
manner, the dirty article being appended
to an announcement of the converting of
the supreme court in Santa Fe and ap-
pearing in the Albuquerque Citizen Of
last Thursday afternoon:
Later-A telegram was received in this
city this morning that Chief Justice
Smith was observed coming out of the
back door of Las Vegas house, yester-
day, and Is doubtless in Santa Fe to-day.
OF later years, tho Optic has detested
what is termed personal journalism"
and avoided it as much as possible, be-
cause 1T is unprofessional and contem pit
ibe, unless in self-defense and even then
it seldom meets with the approval of
newspaper readers. If low blackguard
attacks us with billingsgate, the outpour-
ings of vile end bitter heart, we are
driven to resent it with the same sort of
weapon, or pass 1t by in silent contempt.
One journal edited by an egotistical, foul
mouthed hobby.rider will compel all hon
est aud fair-dealing competing journals
to assume the same unprofessional role,
or remain silent. Some men are 30 made up
that they can not compete honorably with
rival. They can not bear to witness
the success of an opponent. These are
the men who disgrace journalism and who
resort to the lowest, meanest, most 10
professional method of warfare-.dirty,
pusillanimous personalities. These are
men who, in whatever occupation they
engage, sneak around and by falsehood
and Islander attempt to cripple the bust
mesa or professional standing or injure
the character of their more liberal, hon
orable and successful opponents. But
such men seldom succeed at anything in
any community any great length of time.
They are characterless and are detested
by the people.-Las Vegas Optic.

the "MoTHER COUNTRY

In times of tranquility, when Amerl-
can money is flowing in an uninterrupted
stream into British Golfers and the anglo
maniacs appear to dominate sentiment
in this country, the London papers are
uniformly profuse in their Pecksnifian
praise of American genius and enterprise
and sentimentally sweet in their gushing
talk about sites of blood and kinship of
language" and the undying affection of
the smother country" for her American
children" ad nauseam.
But let anything partaking of the ma
ture of serious emergency arise, in
which American institutions even appear
to be threatened with danger or American
interests conflict in the slightest or re-
hottest degree with those of Great Britain,
and behold what magical change is
wrought in the tone of the British press.
Then gauzy DISCUSSES are quickly cast
aside and the real sentiments of the Brit
ish press and people Enthusiastically come
to the surface and we see exemplified
the same quality of cruel and canting
hypocrisy that in one breath expresses
the profoundest sympathy and concern
for the savagely prosecuted Christians OF
Armenia andain the next stealthily whis-
pers words of encouragement into the
ears of the crafty ard cold-blooded Turk
ish butcher.
1t is needless to revive unpleasant
memories by recalling the unfriendly at
titude OF the British press and p.ople
toward the United States during the dark
and perilous days of our civil war. We
will content ourselves with simply in
stancing the fact that, IN the controversy
that has recently arisen touching the
boundary line between British Guiana and
Venezuela, the British papers have cen
fined themselves strictly to the publica-
ton of the most selfish, unfair and preju-
diced statements of the case, refusing to
concede even the color of a possibility that
the United States may be right In the
minutest particular, and have still more
strongly emphasized their peculiar form
of affection for their "kinsmen" BY openly
exulting over their exaggerated and large
ly imaginary notions of the financial diff
ficulties Of this country.
The manifestation of such malign
spirit at this critical time 20 completely
unmasks past British professions of
friendship for this country that no COM
ment 10 called for further than the sug-
gestion that the British press and people
clearly have very faint conception Of
tho pluck, patriotism and resources of the
American people. Manifestly they have
made very poor use Of their opportunities
to study this country, otherwise they sure.
" would not exhibit such a wealth Of
misinformation respecting the stuff ito
people are made Of.
We may add that history docs not
make mention Of an instance IN which
Great Britain has bestowed an unsel6sh

States. Her stesdfast policy in dealing

TO INCREASE NATIONAL BANK CIR
CULATION.

In his message a year ago the Presi-
dent gave his unqualified Endorsement"
to the Carlisle banking scheme. This
proposed, among other things, to repeal
the tax on State bank notes, thus MAX
ing them banks of issue. and to restrict
the circulation of national banks to rs
per cent. of their paid-up capital. pro-
vided they should deposit with the gov
eminent as a guarantee fund in green
backs a sum equal in amount to 80 per
cent. of the notes they desired to issue.
The effect Of the enactment Of such law
would have been to gradually substi-
tute State bank for national bank cir
culation, and this was it's object. Now
the President recommends that the tax
on the circulation Of national banks be
reduced from 1 per cent. to one-fourth
Of per cent, and that they be allowed
to issue circulation equal to the par
value Of the bonds deposited to secure it.
This recommendation is decidedly in the
interest of national bank circulation.
Nothing could better illustrate the
whimsical nature of the Presidents
views on finance than the vast differ
ence between his recommendation n
year ago and the present one, yet that
is no reason why his present recon-
mendation should not be followed If it
is a good one. A Republican Congress
should not refuse to do a right thing
because Democratic President adj
vises it.
The Journal is in favor Of any reason
able legislation that will encourage the
national banks to increase their circula-
ton. Their notes constitute the best
currency the country has ever had, and
it should be the policy of Congress to
encourage it's increase and continuance.
Under the present restrictions and tax
there is little or no profit to the banks
In circulation, and the aggregate
amount Of it has largely decreased. The
aggregate capital Of the national banks
at present is $664,000. 900, and the aggre-
gate Of their circulation is 5000, 600.
If a reduction of the tax on circulation
and permitting the banks to issue notes
to the par value of the bonds deposited
as security would induce them to in
crease their circulation to the full limit
the country would get an increased vol
ume of sound currency and the advo-
Gates of State banks of issue would re-
ceive their quietus. The matter should
receive the careful consideration of
Congress-

With the labor bureau, which Is called the
Department of Labor, in charge of Colonel
Wright, there seems to be no call for the
making Of an Independent department with
a member of the Cabinet for labor. Such
Cabinet officer could do no more to obtain
and promulgate information OF interest to
labor and industry than does the present
organization. The latest enterprise OF the
Department OF Labor is the issue OF
bulletin. the first number OF which was
published in November. The bulletin will
be published every other month and will
contain in condensed form all the infor-
nation which can be obtained from valu-
able sources regarding labor. The bulletin
Is published under the provision of the act
of the last ongress called the McGann bill.
Colonel Wright announces In the first issue
that five regular departments OF informa-
ton will be maintained. namely: Portions
OF the national labor bureau;
digest OF foreign !. labor reports: the
publication. 81 Immediately after their
passage. OF new laws affecting the in
terests OF labor and all the latest decisions
of the courts involving the relations OF en-
ployer and employee. and of other matters
pertaining to laws which may be of con-
Germ and value to the industrial interests
OF the country, and which cannot be other
wise obtained without expense or trouble:
a miscellaneous department in which brief
statements OF fact may be given. The
November number contains a history of
strikes and lockouts in the United States,
Great Britain. France and other nations In
recent years. an article on private and pub
lie debts in the United States, digest Of the
reports of State labor bureaus, digest Of the
report of Miss Collet on the statistics Of the
employment Of women and girls in Eng
land and Wales; an article on the relations
of employer and employee under the COM
mon law. On the whole. the bulletin is
the most valuable publication that the gov
eminent has undertaken for the masses.

The fancy ram-breeders are gathering in
Washington to demand reimposition OF
the tar.ff taxes on wool.-Sentinel.
1t is one of the peculiarities Of free
trade that it compels it's supporters to
decry many important home industries
and sneer at those engaged in them.
Under a fairly protective tariff duty on
foreign wool sheep breeding in the Unit
dustry In 1891 the United States stood
third among the countries of the world
in the production of wool, being sur
passed only by Argentine Republic and
Australia In that year the United States
produced 3O7. 100000 pounds of wool. In
1894 the total number OF sheep in the
United States was 45,04S.017, of the value
of ss9, 1s7, 00O Illinois had 1,O32.976. val
ued at $2.450632; Michigan had 1895
valued at s5,469,52s; Ohio had 1885,
valued at $S,5O6, TBS: Indiana had 972.345.
valued at 81, 325, 654. and other States in
proportion.
The repeal of the duty on wool has
practically killed the sheer industry in
the United States. For the last year or
breeders to get out of the business. Wool
has hardly paid for marketing, sheep
have been a drug in the market. and
thousands Of fine fiocks have been sold
for a song. The wool market has been
demoralized, foreign producers and i'm
porters have fattened on the misfor
tunes of American farmers, and the con-
sumers of wool have not been benefited
a particle. Finally. when the sheep
breeders. representing the remains OF
an interest which one year ago was
valued at nearly s9O.00O.N00. meet In
Washington to urge Congress to restore
the duty on wool. thereby saving an i'm
portant industry from ruin and increas-
ing the revenues of the government,
which Democratic administration has
nearly bankrupted. free-trade paper
sneers at them as fancy ram-breeders."
This is the spirit Of free trade.
