Capitol Square TO Go.
Editor State Journal:
Much has been said recently in the
newspapers and out Of them about the
destruction of beautiful trees in the
state house grounds
1t is to be regretted that a single
tree must be cut down in Capitol
square. but admitting that a capitol
square is one thing and a public park
another. what is to be done with the
dozen or more rusty electric light and
telephone poles which carry scores of
wires into the state house?
Are the beautiful spreading and
stately elms to go and these insight
Iy poles, loaded down with wires to
remain2 Put these wires under ground
and thus add TO the beauty of Capitol
square. CITIZEN.

GRUB CAUSED GREAT Loss.

BY Falling Among Diamonds . Comno-
~ n ton Was Created. y.4
A salesman in one of the big Chestnut
street jewelry stores recently lost a
few. small diamonds through a very Pc
cuIial accident, says the Philadelphia
Record. The salesman had taken the
diamonds ont of the big safe and was
counting them, in. the rear Office of
the store, when the accident occurred.
He had spread the stones out on a large;
sheet of tissue paper and was sorting
them in the bright light which came
down through q glass skylight direc4ly
above him: In the woodworls.s 1sr:
rounding the glass in the ceiling An
insignificant grub worm was woGfinH
away Enthusiastically. The man below
knew nothing of the existence of the
worm, NOR did he realizes the part twas
shortly to play in his affairs. Suddenly
the worm broke through the outer shell
OF the wood and fell plump upon the
sheet Of tissue paper, scattering the dia-
monds right and left. : s.s.:
The salesman worked for two hours
in gathering up the tiny precious
stones and then found that four of the
stones were still missing. This meant
SIS or $40 to him, for that was what
the lost stones we're worth. Hesnever
recovered them, but he threw the grub
worm into the stove and watched it
burn with ftendish satisfaction.

THE TARIFF AND EXPORTS.

Those who for years past have been
urging change in the tariff laws of
this country by means Of the reduc
ton or abatement Of taxes upon raw
materials, on the ground that under
such circumstances it was probable
that the export trade of the United
States in manufactured wares would
be materially increased, are finding
in the classification of our recent ex-
ports a strong justification for their
arguments, and an equally strong
reason for depreciating any change
in the existing order of things which
would be calculated to increase the
customs rates upon imported crude
commodities. The report made by
the statistician of the treasury depart.
rnent is to the effect that during the
nine months ended March 81 OF the
present fiscal year, manufactured
wares Of American productions were
exported from this country to the val
ne or more than Sl63,000,000. In,
other words, practically one-quarter
OF our entire foreign exports during
that period we're manufactured goou,
made in the United States. Wher
one takes into account that in 1880 the
value OF manufactured wares export
ed from the United States was only
SlD2,OOO,O00, and that at that time they
constituted less than IL per cent. of
our total exports; that in the year 1890
their value was only $15l, 100000. and
that they at that time constituted less
than 18 per cent. Of our total exports
and that the years 1892 and 1893 did
not vary greatly from the exports of
l89O-when, we say these various
comparisons are made, and when it is
urther shown, as in all probability it
will be, that the present fiscal year
will end with manufactured exports
equal to S217 100000 in value, the
merit In this respect Of the present
tariff law over any that. we have had
during the last generation becomes
self-evident. We hear a great deal
said in republican conventions about
the merits of reciprocity and the de-
STABILITY of cultivating foreign mar
kets by negotiating trnde treaties
with the governments Of Central and
South America; but certainly tariff
law which has the effect of enabling
US to sell abroad those goods which
American workingmen and women
have been engaged in manufacturing,
to the amount of S60,0OO,OOO greater
than was sold under the repealed Nc
Kinley law, should prove an object
lesson the force of which it would
be foolish to gainsay..-Boston Her

momentous question as that which
lies at the bottom OF our miserles. The
Idea that prosperity can be restored to
tho world with only one-half the money
that was formerly needed to do the
worlds business is too absurd TO be
is remembered that taxes, interests the
great debts and other fixed charges
have not been diminished. Conse
quently Il continuation OF low prices
means the absolute destruction OF the
purchasing power OF the entire debtor
class. This first reduces the volume of
business, then forces the shutting down
of factories and by destroying the pur-
chasing power of the entire laboring
class and fills the land with distress.
None OF the sophists hired to main
tain the gold standard has yet told the
laborers how they can get tho valuable
gold dollar they talk about. The la
borer can only prosper when there is
demand for his labor. The gold dollar.
by reducing prices while all fixed
charges remain the same, destroyed the
purchasing power of the country and
thus destroyed the market for the only
thing the laborer had to sell, that IL,
his labor. Until this purchasing power
Is restored there can be no great demand
for labor. and this purchasing power OF
the country. especially OF the debtor
classes, can only be restored by rise
In the selling price of things and this
can only come through an increase In
the volume OF money.

standard means the permanent degra-
dation OF the great iaborlng and pro-
ducing masses OF this country, and l
