THE WEEKS NEWS.
TUESDAY, JUNE 30.

THE Committee appointed by the
Republican National Convention to no.
tify Mr.. Mckinley of his nomination for
the presidency waited upon him at Can
ton, O., on Monday. He made an ad-
dress in formally accepting the nomina-
ton in which he frankly stated his posi-
ton on the several subjects upon which
the people are called to pass at the No
vember election. The st. Louis plat
form has his unqualified approval"
and it is a subject of qualification to
him that "the expressions of it's declara-
ton of principles are so direct, clear and
emphatic"
THE chief issues occupying the public
mind are referred to in detail. He speaks
for return to protection and reciproc-
ity. He declares that it is paramount
duty to provide adequate revenue for
the expenditures of the government.

tered. "a failure to pursue this policy
has compelled the government to bor-
row money in time of peace to sustain
its credit and pay it's daily expenses.
This policy should be reversed, and that.
too. as speedily as possible" Still more
explicitly he says on this point:
1.-THE national credit, which has thus
far fortunately resisted every assault
upon it, must and will be upheld and
strengthened. If sufficient revenues are
provided for the support of the govern
ment there will be no necessity for bor-
rowing money and increasing the public
debt. The complaint of the people is
not against the administration for bor-
rowing money and issuing bonds to pre-
serve the credit of the country, but
against the ruinous policy which has
made this necessary. 1t is but an Incl
dent and a necessary one to the policy
which has been inaugurated. The in
evitable effect of such policy is seen
in deficiency of the United States treas
ury. except as it is replenished by loans
and in the distress of the people who
are suffering because of the scant de-
mand for either their labor or the prod
acts of their labor. Here is the funda
mental trouble, the remedy for which is
republican opportunity and duty"

WHERE is THE FLOOD2
A Republican Prophecy That KaD Come
to Naught.


In rebuttal of the oft-repeated state
ment that this ccountry under the oper-
ration of the present tariff is being
flooded with. foreign goods it may be
noted that the treasury statistics show
that the value of the i1nportations dur
ing 1895, both free and dutiable goods.
was less than the average annual value
during the four years 1S91-94, inclusive.
That the alleged flood" will be found
very much lower when the statistics for
the fiscal year which ends on June 80
are made up is certified by the figures
already made public.
The most noteworthy feature about
the decline is asst affects dry goods, and
in this respect in the figures for recent
months the falling off is still further
emphasized. During the current cal
endar year the dry goods entered at this
port amounted in value to $56, 179, 794,
against SOC, 432 ,240 during the cores
pending period of 1895, a decrease OF
nearly $4,000, 900, or something like 20
per cent. On no class of goods is the de-
cline so marked as in importations OF
woolens, which have shown constant
falling off during the present calendar
year. y The sufficiency of the
existing tariff as revenue producer
wonld probably be fully demonstrated
in the event of a change to still higher
duties being ''sure thing" The
flood of foreign merchandise" would
then in reality set in, and while he
change would be followed by period OF
stagnation, for the time being the in
creased imports would clearly show he
amount of revenue that could have been
produced had prosperity but followed
the enactment of the present scale OF
duties. And that prosperity would have
been ours but for the reckless desire on
the part of a portion of our citizens to
upset the present standard OF valne.-

was only II killed and - wounded, i'm

was stated in the official report Of the
fight The opinion is gaining ground

It is said that Maxine Gomez, the
rebel commander-in-chief, Is marching
toward the railway between Nuevitas
and Puerto Principe, his intention be-
ing to cut of communication between
the two cities.
Advices from Manzani11o, province

commands Of Rabi and Jose Maceo are

city. Every precaution is being taken
by the Spanish commander there to

His Political Amhitaon LAY Yet Bs
Crushed to Earth.
The republican managers are already
indulging in beautiful pipe dream
CT success in November. They are
quite unmintlful of the known divisions
within their party and of the recog-
nized weakness of Maj Mckinley on
the financial question in the east. They
figure that his election is certain, and
are already gossiping freely about the
changes that he will make in the tariff
schedules next March. One bright
promise that they offer the business
world is that in the event of his election
he will summon congress in extraor-
binary session at once. One of the
pilgrims that went out to the repub-
tican Mecca at Canton has returned,
and says that it is the intention of the
Ohio man, if elected, to call an extra
session of congress Immediately after
his Inauguration. This call will be
made on the fifth day of March next,
and will specify that the purpose of
the session is to consider the tariff
question. According to this statement
congress would meet on the 18th day
one knows how long. The republican
high tariff advocates who are counting
upon SO many chickens in advance Of
their Matching profess to be delighted
with this promise of an early return
of the high tariff agitation. But many
conservative republicans, particularly
from the eastern states, regard thia
advance declaration of what Mckinley
will do if elected as apt to prove very
dangerous to republican prospects in
this campaign. What the business in
terests of the country most desire at
this time, according to these gentle
men, is an opportunity for rest and
recuperation. The agitation of tariff
and silver questions they hold to be
mainly responsible for the desperate
depression for the last three or four
years. Except for the class termed
''robber barons," eastern manufactur-
ers and business men are well satisfied
with the Wilson law. Even extremists
among eastern republican manufacture
ers do not desire it changed in any inn
portant. particulars. And even those
who do wish to see it changed are not
prepared for the wholesale tearing up
that is proposed by Mckinley enthusi-
asts.
Still another class of prominent re-
publicans are much disgruntled with
this announcement of the Mckinley
policy. They hold that no effort on the
part of Mckinley can put the tariff
question ahead Of the financial ques-
ton. They believe the tariff question
is settled, if not to the entire satisfac-
ton of all, at least SO that it meets the
approval of large majority of our
people and should remain as it is for
some years. The financial question,
however, demands immediate adjust
1nent. and its settlement should form
the principal feature of any administra-
ton that comes into control Of the
government next March. The McKin-
ley cry of protection and immediate
prosperity is not popular in the east.
however satisfactory it may be to that
large element that hopes to get Office
in case the Ohio protectionist is elected,
and that small class of tariff lords that
wishes to resume it's interrupted DOM
inations over the people.-Detroit Free

note what was the construction put
