that we have purchased abroad S1O7,-
900, 600 more of foreign products under
the present law than we did in the
corresponding 16 months of the Nc
Kinley law, it is easy to see where $107,-
100000 of our gold has gone meantime.
Thus we have lost gold enormously
while there has been no gain worth
mentioning by increased sales of our
products abroad. We are not only
losers under the present law in the
matter of gold, but in revenue; for the
money paid at the custom houses for
tariff duties in the first 16 months was,
as is already indicated, more than $40,-
100000 below the sum paid in the cor
responding period of the Mckinley
law. Thus it seems that, through the
enormous increase in importations for
which we must pay in gold, we have
lost SlO7, 100000 of gold under the new
law in excess of what happened under
the Mckinley law in the same length
of time, and have also lost $4,000, 900
in customs duties, which the foreign
importer failed to pay into our custom
houses because of the reduced rates
which the Wilson law established

Several Inportant Amendments Made In
Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The house
committee on invalid pensions has
completed the consideration Of Repre-
sentative Pickler's general pension
BILL. It will be introduced again, with
various amendments, and when printed
will be at once reported favorably.
The amendments Of most Importance
provide that when fraud is alleged
the allegations shall be reduced
to writing and be under oath. and that
the person affected shall be furnished
. certified copy of them. He shall also
be provided the names of the persons
bringing the charges and of the wit.
nesses by whom such charges are to
be proved, at least 80 days before the
investigation takes place. "Order 229"
OF the pension bureau is abolished by
provision which permits applicants
to swear that they know the sub
stance of papers fled by them to be
true, the present law providing that
such statements should be written in
the presence Of the person making APP
plication and from his oral dictation,
and not allowing him to be aided or
prompted in any manner. The limit
OF income allowed a widow, below
which amount she is entitled to PEN
sion, is raised to $500. The decision Of
the supreme court that the war of the
rebellion terminated August 20, 1866,
is made provision of the bill.

suddenly bereft of husband and

A. +. Balfour, informed his visitors

owing to the present condition of the

Arrest Of Captured ''suspects" Means Their
Death by Spanish Authority.
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 5-Evidence is
accum ulating that the Spanish gov
eminent has determined on a war Of
determination in Cuba. Advices from
Havana state the government has pre-
pared lists of suspects" in nearly every
city in the island, and these lists have
been turned over to the Spanish vol
unteers Ostensibly the volunteers
are instructed to arrest those suspects,
but under the policy Spain has adopted
since the recall of Campos, the word
ARREST" is almost Synonymous with
murder.
The Spaniards are also combining
robbery with murder. Last Friday
Enrique Fernandez, a wealthy citizen
of Pinar del Rio, fearing the insur-
gents, fed to the capital of the prov
ince, taking with him $4,000 in cash.
When Fernandez reached the capital
he was arrested as a suspect and put in
prison by the Spaniards. The next
morning Fernandez was found dead,
with knife thrust IN his heart. The
Spanish authorities claim he committed
suicide, but other prisoners say the un-
fortunate man was murdered and
robbed by order of the authorities.
Stories like the above are common in
Havana and we'll authenticated.

ever, the road wants to pay $50 mile
annually to the tribes through which
the line is located, this to include

FAILURE OF THE TARIFF.
Damage to Exports Done by the Dome,
cratic Duties.

damage to Exports Done By the Dome.
cratic Duties.
The official statement of the treas,
ury department of the December i'm.
ports and exports and those of the
calendar year just ended makes clear
some remarkable facts with reference
to the workings OF. the democratic tar
III law. That our imports were in.
creasing enormously was generally un-
derstood, but 1t was scarcely realized
that the increase was so great; nor
was it deemed possible that, with such
I'm enormous increase of importations.
the revenues from customs could be
so greatly decreased. Yet this is a
fact.
The importations during the first
IL months of the present law, which
ended with December, amounted to
S1,024, 097,2S5. This was an increase
of over $lo7 100000 in amount as conf
pared with the last 16 months of the
Mckinley law. Yet in spite of this
enormous increase in importations,
there was tremendous falling off in
receipts. Those for the 16 months
amounted to $4Oo,Os5,6s3, while the re-
ceipts in the last 16 months of the Me-
Kinley law amounted to $43C, 5sS,357
Thus the increase of $1O7, oOO, 900 in i'm
portations under the new law resulted
in q decrease of $4,000 900 in revenue.
This increase of imports, without
any extension of our export trade, is
an important factor in the drain Of
gold from this country to Europe.
Aside from the gold which is produced
in our mines, about $4O,OoO,OO0 a year,
our supply comes from the articles
which we sell to other nations. De-
spite the claim of the advocates of low
tariff that the reduction of duties
would open the doors of the world to
our products, we have not increased
our exports in any sum worth men,
tioning during the time in which the
imports have been increasing SO enor-
mously.
We get rid of our gold by buying
articles from othernations,by spending
it in foreign travel, and paying the in
terest and principal of American Sc
curities held abroad. When it Is seen

Men who like to cheat themselves
whenever it happens to suit their
theories labor under one great disad-
~antage. They imagine that the av-
trage American voter is an ass. They
tatter themselves that the stupidi-
ties with which they befool their own
minds will befool him also. Wearing
mental binders, they suppose that the
average American voter can see no
more than they can. But the voter
aforesaid has what they lack-plain
cOnmon-sense. He knows when his
mill is stopped, and his wages also, by
foreign competition, that it is not
monetary theory which takes away his
livelihood. Rail at him, laugh at him
il you like, democrats and assistant
democrats, but his majorities against
You in the states between the Nebraska
border and the Atlantic in 1894 were
tG3,l32, and will be bigger if you so
vote as to rob him ofprosperity for an
other year, and at the same time ex-
pose the nation to dishonor besides.
If the republican party were play
ing politics." it would have passed in
the house model protective tariff
just the kind of tariff to stimulate in
dustries to the utmost, and just the
kind which ignorance in the senate and
in the white house would defeat. 1t
was infinitely more patriotic, and there
lore infinitely wiser in the end, to pass
in the house measure which no SEN
1tor having an atom Of patriotism in
his composition can afford to vote
against, and which it would ruin any
president to veto at time when he was
rngagedin appearing to invite foreign
war. The men in power are SO dull
that they have not yet caught the idea
that the house tariff bill is the one con-
elusive test Of the Americanism which
they so loudly vaunt. If they mean
business atall, they know that sufficient
revenue must be raised without delay.
Worry with that problem, democrats
and assistant democrats, and you will
ind that whoever else may be playing
politics" with practical common-sense,
You are not.-N. Y. Tribune.

lNDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Feb. s.-Wiiliam
Il. English is dead. Mr.. English was
vice-presideRtial candidate on the
democratic ticket with Winfield Scott
Hancock, who run for president in
1880 Two weeks ago Mr.. English OK.
Perienced an attack of the grip which
resulted In congestion of the mucous
mem orane OF the air passages. This
had become much better when infam-
matory rheumatism set in!
Mr.. English was born in Lexin gton,
Ind, August 81, 1922. He served sew.
eral terms in the Indiana legislature.
He also held other positions, state and
federal. He later served nine years in
congress, where he was a prominent
member. He was the author of COM
promise measure in relation to the adj
mission Of Kansas as a state. The
measure became law, known as 1.-The
English BILL" and it was the theme Of
many a controversy in that day of
heated political contests
Mr.. English finally wearied of po-
litical life, and in 1861 resigned his seat
in congress to come back to Indian
apolis and engage in the banking busi-
ness His speculations were excep-
tionally fortunate. Indianapolis was
not yet the big city that it
is to-day, but Mr.. English saw its
future. He bought real estate and
he built houses. He went into various
manufacturing concerns, and was
largely occupied in directing public
polity and in building up Indianapolis
He did not lose interest in politics and
the welfare Of his party, however, and
his name continued to be potent in In
diana along with those Of Messrs.
Hendricks, Mcdonald and Voorhees,.
So 1t was that when the dem oerats
met in Cincinnati in 1880 Indiana sent
delegates to secure the second place
on the ticket, just as she had it four
years before, and the delegates cap
tured the place with Mr.. English. He
and ex-President Harrison were al
ways warm personal friends

which he has been working in secret.
He came to town a few days ago with
thousands of dollars worth of gold,
and the reports of men who have since
inspected the prospect say that Snyder
has Sl,000,O0 in sight, although his
prospect hole is only ten feet deep.
The vein is only eight inches wide, SO
far as developed, but is yellow with
virgin gold. The report has caused a
