INCREASE EACH DECADE.
Wages. Material.

In presenting the above statement of
the growth of the manufacturing in
dustries for these decades, we ask spe-
cial attention to the slow growth be-
tween 1850 and 1860, under the Walker
low tariff, and also to the slow growth
between 1870 and 1880, which, although
we were under a high tariff, was a re-
suit of contraction Of the paper cur
rency, to bring 1t to par with coin,
there having been between the close of
the war and 1878 a contraction of legal
tender notes amounting to over $780,
100000, and total contraction of cur
rency of about $3.50 per capita.
The increase in the number of our
manufacturing establishments between
1870 and 1880 was only 1,7O4, this being
11O,O41 less increase than between 1860
and 1870; the falling off in the increase
OF capital between 1870 and 1880 was
$436.2S0,217; In the increase of hands
employed, H1,121: in the increase OF
wages paid, 1924 ,335@25; in the increase
of raw material us4d, $349, OPS, ,S43; and
in the increase Of thu value of the pro-
ducts it was Sl.2O9, l1O,017. But notice
the enormous increase In all depart
ments between 1889 and 1890. immedi-
ately following the restoration of our
paper currency to a gold standard.
Increase in establishments, 1O1, $40; in
capital, s3,734,2O2, 500; hands, 1,979.237;
wages. $l.334, ,S69470; cost of material.
$1,762, ,044,S04; value Of products, s4,0OO.-
52S,433. Such unparalleled Increase
speaks volumes for the protection of
American industries and for sound cur
rency.

The Per Capita of Money in Silver
and in Gold Standard Countries.

We hear much said by free silver ad-
vocates about the great business pros
perity of Mexico and other silver stand
ard countries: that the reason those
countries are 80 much more prosper
Gus" than we are is because they have
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer, and thus more money-and that
the cause Of low prices here is want Of
money. Now let us look at the latest
official statistics giving the facts about
money in the principal nations of the
world. copied from the finance reports,
as follows:

4. 81.

Our exports to silver standard coun-
tries for ten months, to June, 1896, were
$6O,20O,993, while to gold standard coun-
tries they were $685., ,243.520, or more
than eleven times as much.
Our imports during the ten months
from silver standard countries were
$1S4. 4.2O6,5S4. while from gold standard
countries they were s4S2, 2,0S4,573, or
nearly three times as much.
From these figures 1t will be seen
that our exports to gold standard coun-
tries were s629,042,527 more in ten
months than to silver standard coun-
tries. Our imports from gold standard
countries We're 1927 .S77, ,9S9 more
Hence, 1t is apparent that the most
profitable part Of our trade Is with gold
standard countries.

immigration as Affected by Change
Of fParties.
From 1881 TO 1898, the number OF I'M
migrants during the different admins
trations has been as follows:
Garfield and Arthur ...lSSl-S5 2,I.'sSo 81 sSo
Cleveland ................lSSo-s 81
Harrison ..............'''ioo'-'"
The immigration during Garfield ana
Arthur's term was S4l,OOl more tnan
during Cleveland's first term. During
the four years of Harrison's admins
tration the number of immigrants was
2SS. .93S more than during the four years
of Cleveland's.
The number of immigrants arriving
in 1879, the year that specie payments
were resumed, was only 1884, while In
| 1880, after a year of resumption ol
specie payments, there were 4sO 1876 ar
rivals. In 1892. the last year or Harri'
sons administration, there We're 04i'.
1913 arrivals, while In 1893, the hrst vea'
Of Cleveland's present term, there Were
only 1888, a falling off of 2OS,5Il; AM
In 1894 there were 356,3S3 less than II
1899. The number of immigrants II
1894, under Cleveland's present ad
ministration, was 52S,252 less than II
1882, under Arthur's administrator.
immigration always increases whel
business in this country Is prosperous
and decreases when business Is de
pressed, and the facts above statel
clearly indicate that business has beel
more prosperous under Republican
than under Democratic administra
tions.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-31

The United Kingdom, United States,
France, Germany and Sweden are as
prosperous, II not more so, than any
silver standard country mentioned.
Mexico, with all the boast made of her
prosperity. has only IS per capita of
money, while the United States. with
her bimetallic currency, has over s26. .O2
per capita of money, and has at least
s2l.5O In circulation, according to latest
figures. The United States according
to this. has nearly four times as much
money. and she has twice as much sill
yer per capita, as Mexico; and vet the
free silver advocates insist that the low
price of all products in this country Is
due to the small volume of money in
circulation. caused by contraction of
the currency by the act Of 1873 These
facts ought to make all reasoning men
see that such theories are false. The
trouble with the country is not want
OF money or good money, but want of
confidence due to a change Of admin
1stration and the putting Of a party in
power that was in favor of lowering
the duties. on foreign products, thus
running the industries. and at the same
time threatening to change the stand
ard Of our money from gold to silver.

These figures show an annual reduc-
tion of the public debt from the time
the war closed to the close of Harri-
sons administration Of $IO,933,4 ,4ll.40.
During the first two years OF the pres
| ent administration both houses OF con-
gress were, for the first time since 1861,
! in control of the Democratic party.
During Cleveland's present term there
| has already been added to the interest
bearing debt over s262000,00O, which
makes an annual addition of over $S1.-
| 900. 600, and an increase of the annual
interest of over $4,000, 900.
This great change in regard to the
public debt is mainly due to the ef-
forts of President Cleveland and his
party to get rid of the surplus revenue
of the government, by lowering the
duties on foreign products. In all his
messages to congress during his first
administration, he was pleading to
have the surplus revenue cut down by
reducing duties, but the Republicans
had a majority and would not act up
on his advice. When he was reelected
in 1892 he secured a congress In favor
of a low tariff, and the German Tariff-
for-deficit bill was passed, the result
of which we are now experiencing.
That bill cut down the revenues be-
low the expenses, and thirty-year inter-
bearing bonds have been sold to gel
money to meet the deficiency. Had
congress passed the Wilson Tariff bill
as the platform promised and as Mr.
Cleveland demanded, the government
would have been in the hands Of re-
ceiver before this time.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-31

These countries are all on gold
standard. and 1t will thus be seen that
S3.O6 per cent. Of all the foreign trade
OF the United States Is with goio
standard countries.
From these reports we find, also, that
b574 per cent. Of all the export trade OF
the United States Is with the United
Kingdom and British North America. :,
Our people ought to bear this In mind
and cease their denunciation OF Great
Britain. Many seem to have an idea
