full Accident.

Kendrick, Idaho, June 12.-Mrs. Peter
Thompson of Potlatch ridge met with an
exceedingly painful accident last Mon
day while passing through a gate on
horse back The horse became entangled
in the barbwire and commenced to buck
in a terrible manner, throwing Mrs.
Thompson to the ground, where she was
found unconscious with an ugly cash on
her face caused by the horse kicking her,
leaving the prints of the hoof, which for
tunately was not shOd. She had been
dragged for some distance by her skirt
being caught on the horn of the saddle,
which broke off, and it is believed, saved
her from being kicked to death. Late re-
ports favor her recovery.

for they could purchase silver bullion

of about 80 cents for every 81 "a grains

it coined into silver dollars and thus

WHY OUR DEBT GREW
TREASURY LOSSES UNDER DEMO-
CRATIC TARIFF.

Decrease In Favorable Trade Balance Un-
der Free Trsde-Money That Should Have
Been Circulated ut Home - Protection
Means Individual Prosperity.
A published statement of our imports
and exports during the first % months
of the Mckinley and German tariffs,
and another statement of the treasury
receipts during the same periods, show
first that In our foreign trade relations
the balance Of trade in our favor had
been $245, 900. 900 during the Mckinley
tariff period, and only $3.50, 900. 900 un-
der the German tariff. In round num-
bers our favorable trade balance de-
creased by sos. 900, 900 under the exist
ing Democratic tariff in 20 months.
The other exhibit of treasury receipts
showed national income Of $102, 000.-
600 less during the first % months of
the German tariff than during the cor
responding Mckinley tariff months.
The exact figures are as follows:
First % months Of
Mckinley German
our favor. s2&4 s45,63l $50, 66o, IT'D
Receipts OF the United
States treasury 80. ESQ., $50 65S, IL. $50
This takes no account of the treasury
departments stagnatioD when the threat
of free trade was hanging over the coun-
try and there was treasury deficit of
$72, $40, 448 during the Democratic fis-
cal year ending July 30. 1894.
But the above table shows a further
treasury loss of sl02, 275, 791 during the
subsequent % months, after the enact
ment of the tariff for revenue only. ="
Including the previous fiscal year, the
total treasury deficiency under the DEM
ocratic administration, from July l,
1898, to July 1, 1895, has been $l47,-
463, OPS.
As already stated, the German tariff
loss in our favorable trade balance. as
compared with the similar Mckinley
tariff period, was S94, $50, $50. There
fore we have the following combined
losses of Democracy:
Treasury loss under Democratic adj
ministration, 1885. .sl47. 468 o8
Foreign trade balance loss in % Cor
man tariff months. ................ %, go, 652
Total s24l. 7sa6 90
These figures approximate 80 closely
the amount ($262, $500 by which
the national debt has been increased
under this Democratic administration
since March 1, 1898, that it is evident
that the financial straits Of the country
have been due, solely and exclusively,
to the threat of free trade and the mis-
cradle makeshift" that the Democratic
party gave rs.
Had the Mckinley protective tarif
been maintained there would have been
no loss Of $I47, 900, 900 in our national
revenue. Had the Mckinley tariff been
maintained there would have been no
loss of 500, 900, 900 of gold sent out Of
the country to pay that extent Of un-
favorable trade balance brought about
by the German tariff. Had the McKin-
ley tariff been maintained the 500, 000,-
900 of gold would have been circulated
among our own people at home. the
treasury would have received $147, 000,-
900 more money to meet its obligations,
there would have been no financial panic
and no necessity for increasing the ma
tional debt, which increase is, therefore,
directly traceable to Democratic tariff
