ANOTHER TARIFF EXAMPLE.

The great increase in the export of
American manufactured goods is a re-
suit of the reduction of our tariff taxes.
Since duties have been reduced by the
Wilson bill trade has enormously in
creased.
In the first eleven months OF the pres
ent fiscal year. we sold of goods classed
as American manufactures to the value
Of $40. 900 900 more than at a similar per-
iod in the preceding year or any other
wear. The total exports OF manufac-
lures of iron and steel increased from
s29 .OOO. 900 in 1895 to sS7 100000 worth of
1896. We sold in Great Britain alone
81 100000 worth more of the manufac-
tured machinery than in the eleven
months of the preceding year. There
was an increase in the exports of cot
ton goods to the amount of $500, 600;
in electrical and scientific apparatus TO
the amount Of 100000; in builders
hardware to the amount of s1,000000
and of paper and manufactures Of pa
per TO the amount of 100000.
These advances in export represent
a gain made in a single year quite
equivalent to the entire export trade
that the United States has to all of the
countries OF South and Central Ameri-
ca, about which we have heard so much
in political platforms and stump speech
es; and yet the greater part OF this
gain was made in our trade with Eu-
rope. where there are millions Of people
in need of all the necessities, comforts
and luxuries of life, and with the wealth
required to satisfy their needs. 1t is
evident that if we can ship abroad and
find a sale in year for, approximately,

NEW YORK IS nEMncRArnc-

Our esteemed contemporary, the At
lanJa Constitution, which has for years
been a consistent advocate Of free coin
age, and which has kept a close watch
on the political situation declares that
New York will cast her electoral vote
for Bryan and Sewall in the next cleo
toral college, and it begins 10 look that
way although the Democrats long ago
conceded New York to the goldbugs.
VIM. P. ST. John, quoted in another
column, is. also of this opinion.
a considerable shaking up of the dry
bones is going on in the Empire State
just al present and the free coinage men
are not getting the worst of it.
Instead of boiling the Chicago ticket
a large number Of Democrats who op-
posed a free coinage declaration in the
platform have come out boldly in sup
port Of the nominees and will take an
active part in the campaign. When the
ballots are counted in November it will
be found that the strength of the Demo
cratic boilers has been greatly oyer-esh-
mated
Everything points to Democratic sue
cess in New York. There seems to be
no doubl Of the fact that Mckinley is
fast losing ground. On the issue be-
tween the money power and the people,
the Republican farmers OF New York
are beginning to express themselves in
favor of the Democratic ticket In
stinctively they recognize the fact thai
a platform which meets the approval of
Wall street is not one on which the hon
est laboring man of the country can
stand. Such a revulsion of feeling
against the Republican ticket has never
before been known in New York. From
every county in the Sac comes the
gratifying news that Bryan clubs are
being organized and that men who have
voted the Republican ticket for years
have planted themselves squarely under
the banner Of financial reform in this
campaign.
John C. Sneehan says that Tammany
is solid for the Democratic ticket. With
in a few days q ratification meeting will
be held in New York City and leading
Democrats from all parts Of the State
will unite in making the occasion one OF
brilliant and notable success.
In speaking of the outlook for Demo-
cratic success in Noember, the Tam
many leaders say:
Unless a change of sentiment occurs be
tween now and election day, Bryan Will

situation, makes it evident that New

In a communication from Point Pleas
ant in another column a farther glimpse
into the political situation in the State
is given.
Among the rank and file and even the
leaders of the Republican party it has
assumed the proportions of stampede
to Bryan and Sewall and the money Of

The latest big Republican bolter, who
declines to accept the ST. Louis plat
form is Hon. James B. Menager, of Ma
son, one OF the most brilliant, brainy and
prominent Republican leaders N the
State. He will line up in this campaign
with the Democrats, and will work for
Democratic success. a return TO the mon
ey of The Constitution.
Another prominent Mason county boil
ter from the Republican side is Charles

a farmer. He concludes a lengthy card
defining his position and belief on the
currency question as follows:

York is by no means lost to the Demo-
cratic ticket
At a conference of the Tammany lead
ers. a few days ago, it was decided to
inaugurate a campaign az once and TO
make a vigorous fight for the Demo-
cratic nominees 1t was disclosed at this
meeting that the backbone Of the Re-
publican organization was broken by
the disaffec,ion which prevailed among
the farmers; and that while Democracy
would hold its own in the larger cities,
il would score decided gains in every
country district in the State.
One Of the most jealous champions OF
the Democratic ticket in New York IS
Justice Gaynor, OF Brooklyn. One OF
the purest men in the State, his letter
is worth thousands OF votes to the Dem
ocratic ticket. He commends the Dem
ocra,ic masses for the brave fight which
they have made in behalf Of financial
reform, and urges them TO perseyere IN
til success is achieved.
Touching upon the plank in the chi
cago platforms which refers to the Su-
preme Court OF the United States, JUS
tice Gaynor says:

sion in tn platform 10 the decision OF me

As the campaign progresses, the out

to brighten and even New York may re-
buke the iniquitous yoke Of the single
gold standard.
