POINTERS FOR PROJECTION.

The treasury statement Of the pub c
debt for the mouth Of April shows an
increase of 81 249,9 $50 in the interest
bearing debt and decrease Of 81 ,O99,-
3l5 in cash balance in the treasury.
These are free trade times.
The total amount of money In circu.
latIon In the United States on May |,
1894. was 81 1891. 79S, 800. A year later,
on May |, 1895, the total amount Of
money 10 circulation was 81 500 4S4 ,154,
the decrease during the twelve months
being nearly $1,000 900.
In March Of this year we bought
81, AIS, 800 more goods than we sold; in
March Of last year we cold $5, ISL ,S75
more t1an we bought. That's the diff
ference. That is how the foreign mar
ket is being opened up t. the Ameri-
can producer.-Kansas CITY Journal,
April 20, 1895.
Under u prot'c tariff the salt
business remained unorganized aud
competition reduced prices as low as
the most unreasonable could demand.
Nevertheless, salt was put on the free
list and now 1t is reported that the
mine owners have been forced to form
q combination to raise prices In order
to get any profit out of the business.
This Is another of the WORKINGS of free
trade which was predicted by the
Protectionists. Instead of smashing
trusts, IL smashes domestic competition
and makes the combination of the big
concerns both necessary and easy. =.
