severed at the wrist by a sabre-stroke.
When he was carried to field hospi-
tal his hand was attached to the arm
by a single membrane and bit Of the

it with the greatest possible care, but
Sanabria made answer, ''This is the
way to do it, DOCTOR, and suiting the
action to the word, with his right

is their general .in-chief, Maxine

Their "Banner Day."

Carried away by its free trade enthu
siasm, the New York World said recent.
ly: Yesterday was the banner day OF
the custom house. The entries for Gus.
toms were 1,519 and the receipts were
$438, 900. 90. No day in the history OF
the customs at New York under the
Mckinley bill approached these receipts
within $50, ,000"
As for ourselves, we would much
rather hear of "banner days" at Ameri.
can factories on which more goods
would be made and more wages paid
than ever before. There is something
absurd in this boasting of the influx OF
foreign goods at time when many
worthy people are out of work and many
more are working for low wages.
The Mckinley bill can stand the i'm
piled sneer in the above paragraph. 1t
did not destroy foreign commerce as its
opponents held it would, but it held in
check foreign imports that competed
with home industries. 1t was not FRAN
ed to create banner day" at the Gus
tom house.

AS the administration finds it nee
essary to issue more bonds, the peo-
pie will be pleased that sufficient
pressure has been brought to bear to
prevent their being gobbled by the
syndicate for speculative purposes.
The former issue was the most
Infamous deal in our financial history.
If the syndicate wants all or any
portion of the bonds, it should be
compelled to bid for them openly
against all corners, and not be per-
mitted to buy government bonds
secretly at price so far below the
selling price on the stock exchange
as to furnish margin of seven
or eight millions on a fifty million
issue. That rate of brokerage is
altogether to high.

The Poor Greenback.

1t is no uncommon thing to see a
person made scapegoat to bear the
burden of another's wrongs, and our
sympathies always 90 out to one suf-
fering such injustice. This seems to
be exactly the position of the poor
greenback, upon whose shoulders
President Cleveland, Cuckoo Carlisle
and all the smaller cuckoos through
out the country lay the blame for
the present depleted condition of the
treasury gold reserve.
While the manner in which green
backs have been manipulated to draw
gold from the treasury give SEM
blance of truth to the charge from
the White House against them, a
fair idea of the real facts can only
be had by an understanding of the
history OF the greenbacks from the
time they were first issued up to the
present time.
We presume all our readers are
familiar with their first use as a tenn
porary expedient to defray war ex-
penses; how they deprecated in val
ue and remained at discount until
the resumption act was passed. This
went into effect Jan. l, 1879, four
years after the passage of the law.
John Sherman, then secretary of the
treasury, sold S95,OO0,0O0 of bonds
at that time for S100,000,000, which
became the gold reserve for the re-
demption of the greenbacks as offer
ed, and from that time until the Sec
ond Inauguration of Mr.. Cleveland,
March 4, 1898, that reserve remained
complete and NO FUTHER SALE OF
BONDS WAS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN
IT during those Is years. Now, dur
ing the past three years, it has been
found necessary to sell bonds until
upwards of $1SO,OO0,OOO in gold has
been put into the u. s. treasury, and
bids are now ask for another issue of
S100,000,000, which, sold at similar
premium to he last ones issued,
will make nearly S290,000,000 in
gold received from bonds in three
years, and all to maintain the green
backs, according to the administra-
tion theory. This flimsy excuse for
bond issues is too weak to stand. 1t
is only by a comparison of govern
ment revenues with government ex-
penses that the reason for the bond
issues can be found. The greenback
is only the scapegoat. The truth is
that Uncle Sam is living beyond his
income and consequently is forced to
do just what a young man around
town does under the same conditions,
viz: borrow from his friends.

THE successes of the Cuban insur-
gents are gratifying, and the present
indications are that the patriots will
gain considerable concessions from
the Spanish government, if not abso-
lutte independence, without aid from
any of the powers. We believe the bel
ligerence of the Cubans should long
ago have been recognized by the
United States, and that such action
on the part of our government is es-
pecially urgent now that the Cubans
are plainly showing their determina-
tion and ability to cope with their
Spanish oppressors.

DURING the 13 years from the time
of resumption in 1879 until the elec-
tion of a democrat congress and presi-
dent in 1892, under the workings OF
a republican protective tariff, the ma
tional debt was reduced 81 200, ,50O,-
600. During the three years OF
democratic rule the national debt
has increased S162,5 100000 and an
other $100,0O0,0OO of bonds are adj
vertised for sale. 1t won't take the
intelligent, honest American voter
long to choose between the two rec
ords.

Wooden Mills Outlook.

We have been informed by gentlemen
interested in the woolen and worsted
trades that 90 per cent of these mills
will be closed within 30 days. So keen
is the competition of the foreign manu-
facturers that our own people can nei-
ther secure orders in advance nor COM
pete with the prices ruling for foreign
goods. If such a condition unfortunately
proves to be true, it will be a remark
able result of the benefit" of free raw
material.

ballast In Demand.

The New York authorities, in view
of the great demand for asphalt road
ways, are perplexed as to what DISPOSE
tion to make of the basalt blocks now
in use. The solution is very easy. If the
present Wilson German Democratic
tariff should long continue al the pies-
ent increasing magnitude of the imports
and the decreasing rate of exports, they
can be used for ballast for steamers 60

Capturing the Markets Again.

The Argentine and Australasia are
both becoming more important factors
in supplying the English market with
tallow, their sales of this commodity
having increased by $50, 600 hundred
weight this year to Sept. 30. During the
same months England bought less than
half the quantity of tallow from the
United States that she bought in 1894.

Retail trade throughout the country is some
what better though moderate in some lines,
and while there has been no reported advance
in wages this week and some manufacturing
concerns have temporarily closed or are about
to close, purchasing power of wage earners on
the whole is much larger than a year ago.

DANGEROUS DISEASE.
DEMOCRATIC EDITORS AFFLICTED
WITH WOOLLv BRAIN.

Cerebral Trouble Frequent I'm Free Trade
Minds-Dulls the Intellect. Obscures the
Vision and Paralyses the Fingers-ssne
Men Soon Become silly.
Free trade editors are suffering from
severe attack of wool ON the brain. II
has peculiar effect upon the patient.
The woolly growth first clogs the brain.
then it spreads downward clouding the
vision. Reaching still lower in the sys-
tenn it causes nothing but wool to ema-
nate from the vocal organs. The sufferer
becomes wrathy. His speech is both
wrathy and frothy. Gaining complete
mastery over the entire system, the dis
ease reaches the finger tips. Wool clogs
the pen, smearing ink over column or
more of paper in blurry mess without
sense or meaning This is the unfortu-
nate condition of the editors of The
Herald and The Times of New York.
They seem to have ticks in the head.
They are in sore need of some strong to-
bacco wash.
In the case Of the editor of The Times
wool ON the brain has assumed complete
mastery. He fuses and fumes, and
busters and fiusters along like a me-
chanical crank that grinds out a certain
quantity of stuff with no care as to its
quality. The Herald's editor, however,
still retains spark of humor. He does
make an attempt to bolster up bad
cause by argument. In his case the dis
ease is not of the worst type. He is not
so wrathy or frothy as The Times man.
He hopes for recovery and writes about
1.-THE stimulus of new life blood" He
needs it. He refers to statistics as fol
lows:
During July and August, 1894, the
exports of American manufactures Of
wool aggregated only 500, 7S7. But dur
ing July and August last the exports
aggregated $12S,542. If the rate at
which they were exported in August
last ($76, 2S9 in single month) were
maintained for whole year, the total
would be 1915, 5,06S."
Where these figures were procured we
don't know. The only reliable authority
is the bureau of statistics of the treasury
department, which gives our exports OF
manufactures of wool as follows:

During the years 1891 and 1892 the
country was under an administration
favorable to protection. During the later
period to June 80, 1894, we were af-
flicted with free trade administration
for 16 months and the certainty Of it
during the other two months.
During the free trade year and half
there were 242, ,245 more employees
made idle by strikes than in the two
full years of protection.
During the free trade year and half
the loss of wages to employees was $15,
979,0 more than in the two full years
of protection.
During the free trade year and half
the loss to employers of labor was So,

During the present free trade admin

strikes or lockouts, than during the pro-
lection period. The loss of wages to
employees was 81, ,294, 867 month more
under Mr.. Cleveland's regime, and the
loss to employers was $576, 003 month
more. Both employers and employees
have common ground and good reason
to oppose anything that will ever help
to restore to power an administration

The Herald's figures for the 1894
months were $400 too large. For this
year they were $10.00S too large. These
differences are important in proportion
to such trihing export trade. The Her
aid says, IF the rate at which they were
exported in August last $50, 289 in a
single month) were maintained for a
whole year, the total would be SOLO,
06S. This is not So 1t would be $685.
468. That editor cannot multiply even.
But taking the only official figures of
August exports 1866, 2SD, then "if the
rate were maintained for whole year,
the total would be" $795,372, or $780,
096 below what The Herald's s miscalcu-
lation set forth.
This, however, only records our sales
account. There is the purchase account
in the national ledger to be examined.
We find charged to our purchase account
for foreign woolen goods in August the
sum of $11, ,Sl4, 400, and ''if the rate
were maintained for whole year the
