OF s72, 1926, llS during the Democratic fiscal
year ending July 30, 1894.
But the above table shows a further
treasury loss of slo2, s76, 791 during ihe
subsequent % months, alter the enact
ment OF the tarin for deficit only. In
cluding the previous fiscal year the total
treasury deficiency under the Democratic
administration from July I, 1898 to July
/, 1895, has been sl47, 1884,
AS already stated, the GoRMAN tariff
loss in our favorable trade balance, as
compared with the similar MCKINLEY
tariff period, was s9i, ,2s0,652. Therefore
we nave the following combined losses OF

These figures approximate so closely
the amount (s262, 3s9, ,63O) by which the
national debt has been increased, under
this Democratic administration, Since
March /, 1893, that 1t is evident that the
financial straits of the country have been
due, solely and exclusively, TO the threat
of free trade aud the ''misera bic make
shift" that the Democratic party gave
us.
Had tho MCKINLEY protective tariff
been maintained there would bave been
no loss Of s147, 900, 900 in our national rev.
enuo. Had the MCKINLEY tariff been
maintained there would have been no
loss of s95. 900, COZ of gold sesft out OF the
country to pay that extent of uniavora BILE
trade balance brought about by the
GoRMAN tariff. Had the MCKINLEY
tariff been maintained the 800, 0cO, 600 OF
gold would have been circulated among
our own people at home, the treasury
would have received s147, ,0Oo 900 more
money to meet its obligations, there
would have been no financial panic and
no necessity for increasing the national
debt.

THE MONEY BEHIND THE SILVER
CRAZE.

CR4LE.
There In gigantic wealth behind the
silver campaign. OF course there Is
gigantic wealth behind the sound money
campaign, because practically evefy
financial, commercial and business in
terest, except that of silver mining, es
we'll as that of the thousanas Of wage
esrners is united to have every dollar a
sound I00-cent dollar, and not a doll,r
cut IN two. But as respecting individual
interests the sound monty campaign
shows nothing anywhere approaching
that for the promotion of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, at the ratio OF
10 10 ], instead OF the commercial value
81 to I, which would place double dollars
owner.
The estates, corporations, and individ-
uals directly interested IN silver mining,
beginning with tho HEARST estate OF
California, valued at $4,000, 900, and
rounding up with Senator LEE MANTLE
OF Montana, who is an humble two-mil-
lionaire, represent an enormous property
valuation OF S547, c0o,OO) And there are
only 22 of them in the 81, 0Oo, 900 clnsS and
up. Candidate BRYAN represents this
interest OF more than half billion
dollars. II has besn charged and not
denied that he has for years heen paid
TO represent them. At any rats. TO the
silver mine owners the election of
BRYAN and OF free silver House means
millions. Placing the product Of their
mines at 81, ,000, 600 ounces year, though
it would soon be 800, 200, coo ounces,
anc the government paying them at the
rate OF s1.29 sn ounce. and, granting, for
the sake OF argument, that II cost them
6S cents an ounce 10 mine II, the people
OF the United States would pay into the
pockets Of the silver miners sil, 900, 900
per annum, and make gigantic monopo-
lists Of the very men who are crying out
against monopolies in their platform.
This is an unduly conservative estimate
OF the profits OF the silver barons; the
actual figures would more likely be s75,-
600, 900 per aunum. 1t will thus be seen
at a glance what is involved In the elec-
tiop OF Mr.. BRYAN, not counting the
OF upward OF 5000, OOo,0O OF gold upon
which the credit OF tie nation is
founded.
No wonder PopuIist writer from Con-
necticut was prompted to express himself
In New York paper to the effect that,
speaking for the party, "we considered
that millionaires and monopolies were
not calculated to help us in our reforms.
Now, ask; why be led into trap OF
the silver mine owners and help make
them all milliopairesf Why swallow the
Democratic party In order to help do it?
1t will choke our party TO death, and /
for one do not propose to die that way.

me, should be stopped, as 1t certainly
reflects no credit TO the managers of the
road to allow sucn things to 60 on. Why
not empower conductors OF electric cars

these perons to keep their slang 10 them

which was blown up by dynamite by
insurgents between the Benavides and

were injured more or less seriously.
The skirmish which followed the ac-
cident lasted about three hours.
Two passengers in the same car in
which the general was seated were
wounded by stray shots, and General
johnson himself received two bullets
in his coat. The rebels were FINALLY
driven of by the troops whose valor

Philadelphia, Pa, June 20.-The Re-
cord says the three largest and most
formidable. filibustering expeditions
that have ever left the United States
are now ON their way to the coast of
Cuba, and all have thus far escaped
the vigilance of the government offic-
ials and the Spaniards who have been
watching for them and their many
passengers and large cargos of ammu-
milton, dynamite, guns and other war
materials. These vessels are the
steamers Three Friends, from jack
sonville; Commodore from Charleston,
S. c., and the schooner Stanbury
from Port Tampa, Fla. The two for
mer vessels have left within the last
4S hours; Stanbury sailed Tuesday.
All cleared as coastwise vessels, and
it is expected if not caught by Span
ish gunboats now ON watch they will
arrive at their ultimate destination
minus the passengers and cargoes.
General Francisco Leyte Vedal, vet
eran of the late Cuban war in charge
of the military expedition is on the
Three Friends. He is a native of
Subd. WI VI inns
city, is believed to have, charge of the
expedition ON Commodore. The
Stanbury, a small schooner, has stow
ed in her hold a cargo consisting of
80 tons of ammunition. Fearing the
fate of her cOnsOrt, the Competitor,
the Stanbury will approach the coast
of Cuba where things are less warlike,
leaving the western end of the island
to steam vessels.

Murderer Delays Execution by Cut
ting His Throat.
BY Special Wire to the Sunday Light.
Columbus, S. c., June 20.-The sher-
iff of Aiken county had a trying eX-
perience today. Some time ago Dan
Robertson was convicted of murder
and sentenced to be hanged today be-
tween the hours of IL a. m. and 3 p. N.
While the preparations were being
made for the execution at 100 o'clock
the doomed man suddenly whipped
out knife, which he had in some way
managed to secure and conceal, and
before any guards could interfere,
slashed his throat, preferring to die
by his own hand. He cut his wind
pipe in two places and nearly cut the
jugular vein.
Sheriff Alderman wired these facts
hastily to Governor Evans and asked
him what he must do, 1t being too bru-
tai thing to execute the man under
these circumstances.
In few moments he wired Cover
nor Evans again, asking him, as the
law permitted no delay of execution,
to grant few days respite, stating
that the man was in an unconscious
condition and would die.
Governor Evans, in the interest of
humanity, granted respite of one
week.
Robertson has since died.
