: r.nreaenfntiye Of the New York World
| : fsw days ago there are in that body 46
| q ths IS senators unqualifiedly for free
silver OF these "a are Democrats, II are
Republicans and I'VE are Populists.
Against free silver there are IS Demo
crafts. a5 Republicans, with two Republi-
cans and one Democrat doubtful. Utah,
which the Democrats had admitted AZ a
state in the expectation Of securing its
senatorial representation, sends two sen
a.ors this month, who while ostensibly
Republican will be free silver men.
This is the situation which confronts
the measures for relief OF a depleted
treasury. It is true enough that had the
administration Of national affairs been
wise there would have been no such ex-
igency as now exists. But that does not
help the condition, rather it binders for
the head Of that administration is still in
power and disposed, if we may rely upon
recent reports, and his own statements, to
thwart wise measure, that would pre-
vent him from making contract with q
bond syndicate upon terms that are a
discrcdit to our national securities. The
fact, (which these free silver senators have
to consider are: First, that they are not
supported by the people; some Of them
are not supported by the people Of the
states they assume to represent; they can
not hope to carry out any Of their pet
theories with q House having a large
majority against them and a President,
whom they have accused of being in
league with gold bugs" they can
achieve but one thing by opposing this
reasonable bond measure, while not pre-
venting bond issue they will permit the
President to foist upon this country an
interest debt, millions Of dollars in ex-
cess of what it need be- Are they willing
to assume such responsibility?

PR. SIS COMMENTS.
What Our Imports Prove.
(The Manufacturer

We now have the report of the importa-
tions of foreign merchandise to this
country in the first ten months in which
the Wilson tariff has been in operation.
Comparing the figures with those repre-
! senting the imports during the first ten
months of last year, under the Mckinley
tariff, we find the following totals:
Imports for Ten Months. 1894. 1895.
All dutiable merchandise,
: $2s4,9ls,47s ss53, 3os, 400
This shows an increase, to the disad-
vantage of American manufacturers of
sl18, 400, 994. Taking some of the details,
it is perceived that the American hosiery
Industry is suffering severely from Euro
pean competition.
Imports for Ten Months. 1894. 1895.
Cotton hosiery, $4,063,440 $6 OIL 923
Wooden hosiery, 503,669 1888 349
Indicating a loss to domestic knitters
of 50, 443, 1853 in the ten months. The tin
plate imports for the period have been
less in value but more in quantity. Thus
Imports for Ten Months. 1891. 1895.
Tin plate, lbs. $396,Sl3.3S7 423,731 ,6l2
Thus there has been an increase Of i'm
ports of 27,41S, 225 pounds. In iron and
llteel, including tin plate, the enlarge
fment oe the inward movement has been
notable
Imports for Ten Months. 1891. 1895.
Iron and steel, $16,S99,9 1895, $2l,071 ,l56
There Is an increase here Of 81, III, 161.
Is it any wonder. under such circum-
stances, that American mills are idle or
running on part time? When we arrange
that foreigners shall have easy access to
our markets for the very things we make
in our own mills how can it be that we
should meet their low labor cost with our
high labor cost.
The subject is worth pursuing further,
for these figures illustrate perfectly the
destructive influence upon American in
dustry of tariff for which the claim was
made that 1t would promote the, interest
Of our wealth producers.
Imports for Ten Months. 1891. 1895.
Chemicals (dutiable,) S9.s77,944 $1i,3. 1873
TIE American glass manufacturers
for:
Imports for Ten Months. 1894. 1895.
Glass sand glass ware. $4,804,204 $64l2.67O
The most unfortunate victims Of this
assault upon home industry, however, are
the textile manufacturers. Even the cot
ton men, who were thought to have
something like fair play, are enduring in
jury.
Imports for Ten Months; 1884: 1885.
Cotton fabrics, 1885, SOL $27,717 ,O06
Wooden Goods, 49, 1888 49,sq9,7H
Silk goods, 70, 982,366 27,555,0f2
The silk men are inenaced in most
grave manner from Japan. The wooden
men, selected by the enemy at Washing
ton as the choice Victims OF the conspiracy
against the public interest. are. however,
as might have been expected, most seri-
ously hurt, and with them the wool

A SPLENDID PLANK.

The Republican has not time this morning to comment upon the con vention yesterday as a whole. But the silver plank in the platform will commend itself favorably to all classes of voters It is as follows:
 we believe that the silver mines of Arizona constitute one of the greatest resources of the territory and that with the remonetization of silver the people of Arizona will immediately prosper. With the opening of the silver mines many millions of dollars would soon flow into the territory, affording en- ployment for the idle and a lucrative home market for the agricultural and horticultural products of the Salt River valley.
 "We therefore favor the free and un- limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the co-op- eration of any other nation; and we pledge the nominees of this convention and the Democratic party of Maricopa county to this policy"
Arizona republican., 1896-09-12

The method of selecting United States senator by tie choice of the legislature will sooner or later be abandoned. The method belongs to that class of things which, while good in their incipiency, become bad by reason of the venal practices which grow up around them AS between the election of a senator by the direct vote of the people and the selection by joint ballot of members of both houses o1 the legislature, the superior merit may be on the side of the latter method But all methods are subject to degen- eration, and some new plan will have to be devised.

prosperity of England under the gold standard is pointed out as something that ought to close all debate in favor of silver. Well, let us see.
 England has been on the gold stand ard for eighty years. She has had no war in all that time against a first class or second-class nation The only approach to it was the Crimean war, when France and Turkey were her all lies. When she adopted the gold standard she had so many and eXten- siWe colonies that the sun in his daily round always with his beams shone on the English flag.
 When her manufactories were com plete, her eoffers filled with money and the seas with her ships, she adopted the doctrine of free trade. She has ever since preyed upon the world. Whenever two nations engage in war, she manages to make both pay tribute ito her trade.
 Every year for half a century she has sent away to foreign lands thou sands of her poor people. She has been blessed by the discovery and working of marvellous mines in Aus tralia and South Africa, and because of what we owed her she drew to her self nearly all the gold taken from the rich placers of California. But one out of every twenty-one individuals in England proper is pauper maintained at public expense. The general con- dition is worse in Scotland, infinitely worse in Ireland.
 Since the demonstration of silver in the United States and Germany, her | landed property has shrunken 50 per cent in value, and the condition of her agriculturists is pitiable in the ex- treme, and in truth her great hope now 1 lies in the development of her pos sessions in Africa
 What is the English charm? It is that really her government is a gov ernment of an aristocracy-thea aris- tocracy which has come down from stolen titles and the aristocracy oi wealth. That suits the New Workers God save our land from that same rule

Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merdts."

"TRUE DEMOCRACY" ON MONEY

The platform adopted by the 'ftrue Democracy at Indianapolis is in it's money plank as inconsistent and full of falNacies and false statements as any document of the same number of words could be. It begins by declaring that, 'the experience of mankind has shown that by reason of their natural quali- ties, gold is the necessary money of the large affairs of commerce and bus iness, while silver is conveniently adapted to minor transactions.
 As matter of fact the large affairs of business are very rarely transacted in gold, but are almost invariably car ried on with paper, either in the form of currency or of bills of exchange. If it be said that this paper is based on gold it may be answered that silver has been proven to be basis for pa per currency in every way equal to gold as is evidenced by the silver cer- tifcate which circuIates on an equality with gold, dollar for dollar.
 The platform further says that "the most beneficial issue of both together can be insured only by the adoption of the forme ras standard of monetary measures and the maintenance of sil- yer at a parity with gold by its lim- tied coinage under suitable safeguards of law X
 The truth about bhe matter is that silver was at a parity with gold or above continuously while it's coinage was unlimited and unrestricted and fell below a parity with gold immet1i- ately after its coinage was stopped and , has so continued through all the vari- ous periods of limited coinage to the present time.
 The platform proceeds: "Thus the largest possible employment of both metals is gained with a value univer- sally accepted throughout the world.
 Everybody knows that this state ment is wholly untrue. There is nc value of silver which is universally ac- cepted and it is subject to continuous fluctuations in the worlds markets.
 Having proven to their own satis- faction that gold is the best money ir the world the platform makers declare that the laborer cannot suffer wfer paid in the best money in the world They failed to show, however, where any laboring man has been paid 1T gold or where and when he is likely te be so paid
