But without continuing the details
at tedious length it may be stated that
the aggregate exports of agricul tural
products in 1892. under the Mckinley
tariff and Blaine reciprocity treaties,
were valued at S799, 1928, 239: and in
1895. under the Wilson tariff, they were
only $3.50. 2l5,3l7.
There is one thing more about prices.
Jan. /, 1892, a bushel of barley would
buy l4% pounds of sugar; Jan. ], 1896,
it would buy only o. pounds. Jan. l.,
1892. one barrel of onions would buy
80 pounds of sugar; Jan L, 1896, it
would buy only II pounds. At the
former date one barrel of potatoes
would buy % pounds Of sugar. and at
the latter II pounds At the former
date a bushel of wheat would buy 26H
pounds of sugar. and at the latter lax
pounds.
Under the encouragement given to
the home grown article by the McKin-
ley tariff. sugar was cheaper and grain
crops brought better price than
under the policy which superseded it.
A return to the protective theory, in
the tariff is what the agricultural as
well as the manufacturing classes
want to vote for at the next election.

Jan. 10 1894.

VIM. Jennings Bryan said in his
speech in New York last week these
words which are particularly cheering
To the silver mine owners whose pro-
duct is worth now only about 80 cents
an ounce: 1--WE contend that free and
unlimited coinage by the United States
alone will raise the bullion value OF
silver TO its coinage value, and thus
make silver bullion worth sl.29 per
ounce in gold throughout the world. +"
Now contrast these words from VIM.
Mckinley with those uttered by Mr..
Bryan. 1T is a good deal better to
open up the mills OF the United States
To the labor Of Americans than to open
up the minis OF the United States to
the silver OF the world"

Everything that we make has come

sticks at the old prices. and there doesn't
seem to be any way TO bring labor
down except through some sort of a
protracted revolution. Free silver,
however, would solve the questi on in
an hour. 1t wouldn't advance the
price of any kind of labor, because all
labor is now at imitation prices, and
Just as high as it would be under any
conditions But IL free silver were
adopted. we would pay labor in 50-cent
dollars. That would cut labor in two
at once, thus fetching it down to the

There was nothing that furnished the
Democrats quite SO much satisfaction
during the first part of the Cleveland
administration as the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaties that had been me-
gotiated by Mr.. Blaine. The Demo-
Gratis seemed to have particular spite
against Mr.. Blaine and were i'm great
ylee whenever one of his carefully pre-
pared treaties was wiped out. 1t is
true those treaties were making such
markets as we never had before for our
farm products and manufactures, but
that made no difference; they were
Blaine's work and they must go, and
go they did, with sorry results as re-
CARDS trade.

bushels to 5,919, 405 bushels, and de-
crease of imports from II 1927, 052 in
1890 to 791 ,06l in 1894. This was GER
tainly very satisfactory condition of
the foreign trade to the American bar
ley grower, a condition which the Will
son tariff has exactly reversed
OF beans and peas under the McKin-
ley act in 1892 the exports were 637, 972
bushels, and the imports were 74,050
bushels. In 1895. under the Wilson
tariff, the exports had dropped to 242, 6s2

OF bacon and hams the exports in
1892 were 5s4, 776, 3s9 pounds, in 1895
they were SOS, O44. 099.
OF cattle we imported in 1892 only
2,l6s, valued at SAT ,466, and in 1894
only !, 592. In the calendar year 1895,
under the Wilson tariff, the imports
had risen to 236. Sss. With this in
crease of imports of cattle. there came
decrease of exports from 394, GOT,
valued at So 099, O95 in 1892, to 2s9, $50
with a value of SEC, 997,7 Ol in the cal

In corn the exports in value fell off

to Sl4, $50, 767 i'm the calendar year 1895.
The butter exports were 1901, 246

while in 1s95. under the Wilson tariff,
they fell off To 5,59s,s12. The cheese

In 1894, with a total potato crop OF

Ill bushels, while in 1895 with pro-

only SO, s57 bushels.
In 1892 we exported to the countries
on the American continent with which

in full blast and promises to be an
interesting contest. There are
four candidates in the field to date
and a number more prOspectively.
Between the four announced it will
be a hard matter for many persons
to decide as to their preference.

postmaster. In making its choice
and in the advocacy of his election

feelings toward all the aspirants

we would be for him as against

tiOns incident to the early days of
our city; he has seen it grow from
a village to its present metrOpOli- :
tan proportions and is yet a poor
man. He has never sought for a
public office; he has always been
faithful and industrious in his pur-
suits, and now he asks that the
people of ArdmOre give him their
endorsement at the polls Monday
May IL, for the responsible posi-
tion of postmaster. If he secures
this, and later on has the stamp of
the appOintive recognition of his
claim, he will make an officer in
every way an honor to his position
and an upright servant of the gov
ernment. This is said without
any desire to disparage those who
are competing with him in this
election. Mr.. Nisbett wants the
Office and is willing to trust him
self in the hands of the people
among whom he lives. Elect hin
