A Better Use For Our Gold.

American Economist: Official sta
tistics, just published, show that in
the seven months from September
1894, to March last, both inclusive,
the imports Of woolens were $2l ,347,-
300, while for the like period in 1884
they amounted to only 1897 1872
This indicates the startling increase
Of 1891 per cent. in importations Of
this class Of goods.
The imports of cottons were S2l,-
$685. against $l2SS3,556 in 1884, an
increase of 8S.2 per cent.
In silks the imports increased from
$l2,S76,556 in 1881 to $l9,Sl7,929 in
the corresponding seven months of
the Wilson tariff, showing a gain for
the foreigners of 59.i per cent.
In the aggregate these transactions
show that in the seven months after
the Wilson tariff went into effect the
importations of dry goods were S7s,-
6oS,793, while for the like period in
1854 they were S44,64i,935, an in
crease of 1872 per cent.
When due allowance Is made for
under valuations, stimulated as they
are by the ad valorem duties of the
Wilson tariff, it is very evident that
under the evil influence of that per-
nicious measure, foreign goods are
again acquiring an undue foothold in
oar markets.
The alarming fact is that at time
when many thousands Of workpeople
were idle in the New England and
other manufacturing districts, the
Wilson tariff was increasing the inn
portation Of dry goods TO the extent
Of 49, per cent, in seven months
alone. The gold that was paid for
these foreign products would have
impaired comfort III many American
homes where work people sat gloom
lily in enforced idleness, while impor-
tiers were busily engaged in unload
ing goods that could have been made
here. Ii would have been better
use for our gold to have kept il AT
| home.

The Extremists on the Money Question

GAINESVILLE Republican; On the
money question there are two eX-
trcme schools, those who are at heart
gold monometallists and those who
really favor silver recommendation.
The adherents Of both seem loath to
admit themselves to be what they
really are. Many gold monometal-
lists claim 10 be in favor Of interna-
tional bimetallisn, but when You
predict that an agreement will soon
be brought about between the prin-
cipal commercial nations upon the
question: they 1T once declare such

Bosses to the Rear.

Under the guidance of Hon. j. G..
Bartholf, the GAINESVILLE Republican
is doing for lis party a good service
in calling attention to the need Of
retiring class If corporation lob-
byists, who have been too eonspic-
uous as leaders of that party as well
as the democratic party in Wiscon-
sin. The Republican truly says:
Both Of the leading parties IN this
state have allowed themselves To be
dominated far too much by salaried
lieutenants Of the larger corporations,
whose chief aim has been to serve
those under whose pay they have
been acting. Since the dethrone-
ment of Henry &. Payne from the
craftsmanship of the republican state
central committee, agreatly improv-
ed condition of affairs has existed in
this state as far as the republican or
ganixation is concerned But unfor-
tunately the better element of the
state democracy has thus TAR been
unable toassert itself, and accomplish
the we'll deserved retirement Of Boss
Wall, whose prostitution Of the dem
cratic organization in the state 70 the
purposes Of the monopolist, whose
willing hireling liz has been, il infam-
onsly notorious. What Wall has been

Courier, "will not hurt us in national
politics. We can better afford to
give up the extra ones than to hold
on to them. We have no right to
hold on to them, in fact, while we
refuse to give the negroes Of the
state full voting privileges. This is
the only honest and right plan for
the final settlement Of our peculiar
social and political troubles"
This open confession admits a vio-
lation of the constitution quite as
thorough as that Of which the south
ern states have been accused by
northern critics. When northern
writer has referred to the condition
of affairs described by the News and
Courier he has hecn charged with
an attempt to excite race prejudices
and sectional feeling. The News and
Courier has itself supplied, with en-
tire frankness, testimony which is
worth as much az a hundred cases
Of apparent fraud, of plain disfran-
chsement of negro voters, in south
ern elections. But this Charleston
newspaper is less candid in its sug-
gestion Of u cure. Outside the
southern states there is no one, even
among those who believe the fran
chise should not have been given
to the colored race, who thinks that
this franchise, once given, can now
be taken away. There are two
courses open to southern states
which agree with the News and
Courier. If their sins weigh upon
their consciences there Is nothing to
keep them from depriving them
selves of part Of their representa-
ton in congress. But the better way
would be to make an earnest, per-
sistent effort to educate the southern
negroes, who would become better
able to vote intelligently than they
can be under the present policy,
which is in most places throughout
the south unfriendly to negro edu-
cation.

taking, but fortunately the same in
fiuences in favor Of the restoration OF
silver as redemption money are at
work throughout Europe, and many
of the leading statesmen and publi-
cists of Germany, France, Italy, Spain
and even England, are heartily in
favor Of bimetallism, and will coop
crate in bringing about its re-estab-
lishment. The masses of the people
are opposed to gold monometallism
they are no less strongly opposed to
silver monometalism what they do
want, and what they will ere long
obtain, is genuine bimetallism.

Where Once the Worlds Fair Was.

A visit to Jackson park, Chicago
the site Of the worlds fair, reveals to-
day a jungle Of old iron, burned over
waste, a few suggestive relics and the
bare outlines of magnificent land
scape Developments. The convent
of La Rabida stands little changed
on tho promontory overlooking the
lake, and the fast anchored model of
the old battleship, Illinois, has not
yet been completely dismantled by
the gales of two winters. The Field
ward, is one Of the permanent monu-
ments of the exposition, and there
are other structures which still re-
main not much changed from their
original condition. But the main
features Of the big fair are in ruins.
The fire of last July was responsible
for the greatest work Of destruction,
and the slower process of methodical
disintegration by means of cold chisel,
sledge and steam clipper has been
going on for nearly year, with a
considerable part of the contract still
unperformed. The transportation,
womans, fisheries and horticultural
buildings have been completely de-
stroyed, and in their places the Wis
tor finds many signs telling of "Kind-
ling Wood for Sale at 81 per Load"
The iron frame of the machinery
building constitutes the most impos-
ing ruin that remains standing, and
in the meshes of this gigantic net
work of beams and braces the spar
rows and orioles have built their
nests. Another standing skeleton is
the government building, never noted
for any beauty Of design and now
more ugly than ever. The mining
and administration buildings have so
completely collapsed as to bear no
sign of their original outlines, and it
will be relief to the eye when their
wreckage Is finally cleared away. Ia
the entire park there are few beauti-
full spots left. Only the natural feat
ures of the landscape, such as the
wooded island and the lagoons, retain
their former attractiyness.

A FEW years ago when Max O Rel
visited this country he never failed
to make ii one Of the chief jokes of
his lecture that the most troublesome
problem Of the United States was
what to do with the surplus" That
was before the days of tariff reform
and the German bill. We have no
such problem now. We have almost
forgotten that we ever had Il surplus,
we have become SO used to Il deficit.
How TO meet the deficit is the ques
ton now The resort To the war
measure of an income tax failed and
bond sellin; looks as though it would
have to be il necessary repeater All
this has been an instructive "obiect
lesson"

THE monument in Chicago TO the
confederate dead lifts its tail head in
evidence that the war Is over, and
that the wounds of the bloody con-
hict, 50 far as magnanimity in the
north can heal them, are forever
healed The north in that great
strife was nobly right. She won.
The principles for which She fought
are today embodied in the law Of the
land. She has never denied the valor
Of her conquered foes-who are foes
no longer, when they admit the north
was right and render loyal allegiance
to the constitution which stands for
human freedom.

TUBERCULOSIS AND THE DAIRYMEN

1t is all right for the State to test
cattle and kill those found diseased
But is it right to kill a mans cows
and pay him only one-half their val
ne? If this was the only loss of the
farmer, it would not seem so hard,
but if there are any signs of the dis.
ease, his whole herd must be quaran-
tined, and he is prohibited from sell
ing any of the products even OF his
sound animals. How many men
there are who have a dozen or so
cows, and who by dint of hard labor
Just manage to keep out Of debt and
support their families. Suppose a
third of their cows are killed and half
the value paid to them. while they
are forced to throw away their milk
for several weeks. 1t would plunge
them into debt, and lay a very heavy
burden upon them. How much worse
if a poorer mans cows were taken, a
young man trying to buy a farm for
instance
Just imagine that certain State Of
ficers went into numerous stores and
turned the goods upside down, de
stroyed a part, and stopped owners
from selling for several weeks in the
best of the season. Or suppose these
officers went into the mills and shops
and factories and tore up the ma
chinery, smashed some of it and stop.
ped the work when there were a lot of
orders, And suppose the State paid
for half the value of what was de-
stroyed, don't you suppose there
would be a clamor p? Suppose the
State officers should go into some of
the newspaper Offices and tear things
to pieces and stop the issue of the
paper for a time, wouldn't these
newspaper men be heard from And
why is not a farmers property just
as good as a merchants or a manu-
tacturer's or a journalists ? 1t is
right that diseased cattle should be
killed, but it is not just or right to
destroy a mans property, iDjure his
business, and burden him with debt.
1t is hoped that the next legislature
will do Justice to the dairymen.

The Worlds Gold Supply.

The Washington correspondent OF

worlds output of gold last year will
be exceptionally large. Mr.. Preston,
director of the mint, is conservative
in his estimates. Some weeks ago be
computed the worlds product at not
less than S17O,0u0,000, as against
S155 ,521, room 1898. The greatest
gains for 1894 are in the United
States. Russia, South Africa and Aus
traIia. The correspondent says:
Tie figures for the United States seem to

A National Forestry Bill.

The bill now before the house of
representatives "To protect public
forest reservation" has the support
of the American Forestry associa-
ton. 1t provides for the protection
of the forest resprva tons, which now
include nearly 100000 acres by
the use of the army which has proved
its efficacy for this work in the yell
lowstone park and Yosemite. The
secretary of theinteTior isempowered
ito make such rules and regulations
aud establish such service as will in
sure the objects of such reservations,
namely to regulate their occupancy
to utilize the timber Of commercial
value, and to preserve the forest
cover from destruction" The pro
ceeds Of the timber sold will be con
verted into Il special fund to be ex-
pended in the care and management
of the forest reservation. The bill
has been opposed on two lines, one
that it gave over the forests TO the
lumbermen to work their will on, and
the other that it would prevent the
legitimate demand for timber from
beng satisfied. The forestry associ-
alton has examined both OF these OBJ
jections and has found them ground
less. 1t regards the bill as dealing
justly with all parties in interest,
gives it it's approval and urges men,
bers and all friends of forestry to CO.
operate to secure it's enactment.
