Foreign and Home Markets.

George b. Curtiss in his book, PRO
lection and Prosperity" gives the tariff
history OF every nation Oh earth. His
object is TO see Just how much there is
in .hs cry for foreign markets. lie con-
cluaes that part of his work AS follows:
Over 100000 people in Europe are
not only preserving and maintaining
their home markets, but are Cutting
every market on the face OF the globe
with every conceivable commodity made
by the hardicraft of man. Every port
IN the world, every warehouse is filed
with articles from their factories offered
for sale at prices which furnish small re-
ward for capital, and but scanty re-
turn for labsr. These are the conditions
under which the United States IS asked
to contest for foreign markets. Never
in the history OF the world has il Teen
SO difficult for the United States 10
MAINTAIN its wage rate anG the comfort
and opulence OF their people under free
competition as today. The very fact
that European countries are untlermin-
ing the industrial life OF Great Britain
and that her industrial centres are filed
with alarm and her manufacturers aud
artisans crying out with distress. makes
the proof doubly strong that IL the Uni
ted States should let down or remove
her protective barriers every industry
would be closed, every wheel silenced
and every laborer thrown out OF employ
ment. There is scarcely an article made
10 the United States but that can be
made cheaper in some other part Of the
world. As long as this situation remains,
the only hope Of our industrial prosper
lty lies in the perpetuation of the policy
OF protection.

The Danger to the Farmers.

The farmers who fancy they see a
hope OF personal advantage IN the free
silver movement would do well to con
sider carefully the nature of the forces
which it represents. They can not afford
to overlook the fact that cheap money
is only one OF the several doctrines in
which most of the supp )riers OF Bryan
believe. Ii those people should secure
free coinage. they would not stop with
that triumph. The, are revolutionists
who cherish desire TO upset the gener-
al present order OF things, and introduce
a new system OF civilization One ef
the objects that many, perhaps MAJOR
ity, OF them have in view is the confisca-
tion OF real estate. They hold that no
man has a right OF absolute ownership
in land, but only the right to occupy it
In return for the payment %! its full
rental value in taxes. The government
they contend, should own all the land,
and collect rent for the Use OF it; and
they do not even admit that the present
owners are entitled to any compensa-
tion for 1T. Their theory is that all land
titles are based on Il fiction and wrong,
and that hence no reason exists why
their validity should be recognized in
any case or IN any degree.
This is not now an issue, to be sure,
but it could easily become one in the
event OF free silver victory. The ele
ments that are today favoring the re,
pudiation of debts and the destruction
Of one half of the value of bank deposits,
insurance policies and the wages Of
labor would not hesitate to extend their
policy Of spuliation to the land owners.
They are carrying on a crusade against
property, and it Is not to be supposed
that they attach any more sacredness To
one form of property than to another.
The kind of men who follow Altgeld
and TiilE an are not likely to rest salts

scheme. in case such a misfortune should

enterprises for their restless powers Of
mischief; and there is nothing more

OF the farmers. The danger to the own

troubled dream. 1t is part of the logic
of the situation. thing to be apprehend-
ed as practical result Of the election of
Bryan. Those whom it SO vitalIy con-
Germs should take warning in time, there
fore, and improve their chance of self
protection. II they wish to avert
calamity that is by no means improba-
bic in the contingency Of the adoption
of free coinage, and make sure that they
will not be deprived OF their lands to
complete the work of the socialists and
anarchists, their duty of fret Importance
is to give their support to the Republi

Roads IN S'rance.

Alfred Perkins Rockwell has recently
published little volume on "Roads and
Payments in France" which embod;es
much information that would be useful
wherever people want good roads &.
Among the things which the French
haYe learned by more than hundred
years experience are thsss:
1. A road can be kept in good condi-
ton for the least expenditure by the
system of constant repairs-that is, by
never letting the road get out Of repair
Men SKI led and trained in road repair
ing are kept constantly in the road, lock
ing out for defects as soon AZ they ap-
pear, and repairing them at once. by
this means the roads are not only good
all the time, but the cost Of keeping
them SO has been greatly reduced.
2. Another important discovery has
been made, that is that very thin bed
OF stone or gravel will answer every pur-
pose where the road is looked after al
the time, and this discovery has greatly
reduced the original cost Of construct
ing roads. 1t has been demonstrated
that a surface material SIS inches th Ick
is all that is necessary for a good road n
it Is looked after and not allowed to
wear any thinner than this. But nc
water must he permitted to stand IN
puddles on it. France has 10000 miles
Of national roads, and they are all kept
in repair by the national government.
In that country the art OF keeping roads
in repair is learned as life time occupa
ton, inst as much as that Of making
watches and wagons, Bunglers are moi
allowed to have anything to do with the
roads. When shall We profit 3y Frances
hundred years OF experience and cease
dragging half loaded wagons all winter
through slush and mud. and over roads
cut into almost impossible chuck holes
and gullies?

Trick Number Two.

In 1892 the Democratic party carried
the country before it on sharp plea.
Then all that was heard from their pa
pers and orators was that protective
tariff was unconstitutional and a rob-
berry. They succeeded in hoodwinking a
majority OF the voters, and the only
question discussed was the tariff ques-
tion. 1t was the only issue and on il
they carried the day. After three years
trial it is SO PLAIN to every one that they
were wrong that they dare not mention
the subject again. The country has
gone woefulIly in debt, hundreds Of
banks suspended and the great majority
Of those who were swayed by the picture
OF free trade are now reduced almost to
beggaly. The Lesson taught by the cleo
tion Of 1892 cannot 80 soon he forgotten.
The people who are swayed by popular
ideas saw their mistake OF 1892 and re-
fused to lend further assist ance IN 1894
to a party that had betrayed them.
What is there now to attract them back
to the party they refused to 60 to in
1894? The 'crime OF 1873" was twenty
years old in 1892, and il it was the mon
ster that was causing trouble in govern
mental affairs. the Democracy could
haye seer 1t then as we'll as now. Gro
yer Cleveland trying to find q way out
Of his free-trade dilemma, sought refuge
behind the purchasing clause Of the
Sherman act. He had it repealed. The
panic still continued and grew worse.
Something must be done. The Demo
cracy saw they were branded with the
iron Of their own mistake, and that it
was bot for another application IN 1896.
They Slid from under their own act and
raised the cry Of free silver and with that
expect to carry the country as they did
in 1892, This false issue is taken ss a
last resort. Ashamed OF it's every in the
past four years; the president refusing
to indorse the party and toe party hiss
ing the very name OF its president, and
at the same time be swallowed by q
third party more revolutionary in it's
tendencies. is q conRlomeration that is
to be followed only ss show is followed
to be looked at. The people were
badly fooled by this party in 1892. and
we think We are safe in saying it is the
last time they will allow false lights on
the shore to carry them on the rocks.

Four years ago the Democratic party
promised the farmer 81 a bushel for his
wheat, in fact that everything he had to
sell would bring more, while everything
he had to buy would be cheaper. That
party promised the farmer he could hire
help cheaper, and it promised the labor
or that his wages would be higher. That
old party promised higher prices for the
products Of the producer, and lower
priced goods to consumers. 1t promised
better times for the country. On these
palpable lies Democracy got into power.
Its promises have been miserable fail
ures. For the splendid prosperity Of
the Harrison administration, 1t has sub
stituted the imbecility Of Democratic
administration, supreme in all depart
meuts Of the government. The McKin-
Icy law paid s236 100000 OF the public
debt, and raised enough revenue besides
to pay the running expenses OF the
government. The Democratic admins
tration has created an annual deficit OF
s70,OOO.OOO and increased the public bur-
dens OF the people s262, ,OOO,OOo, in times
OF peace. Property everywhere has de-
preciated and business 10 dead. Gloom
and despondency, business depression
and financial ruin have settled down up
on our people. To avoid the responsib-
llity Of their failure. that party has cut
of it's head, which it bl,ndly followed
and paid homage to four years ago, dis
claims its acts and now comes out with
new set OF promises, hoping to hum
bug the people and get "a Few lease Of
power. The American people will keep
their hands out Of the fire after once be-
ing burned.

How Does This Strike Your

These free silver coinage fellows never
tire OF telling how the gold-bug parties
allow England to dictate the financial
policy Of this government, and that they
oppose free coinage because England op-
poses it. We hsye already called atten-
tion tc the fact that the party that has
championed free silver has endorsed the
English policy Of free trade, as against
the Republican policy Of protection to
American industries. But there is an
other fact that comes home to them. 1t
may not be generally known. but it is
fact, that all the great silver mines are
uuder the control OF syndicates OF foreign
capitalists. mostly Engiishmen. The
mines controlled by Americans are OF
little consequence, and the American
stockholders in the large mines are in q
minority. Here, then, this great Demo-
cratic party. that is opposed to English
dictation, and in favor OF the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the ratio
Of l6 to l, is working in the3 interestlof
English capitalist, and insisting that the
Uaited States government shall coin
the silver, make every fifty centss' worth
legal tender for one dollar, and force it
upon the people Of the United States.
Still worse, they have nominated the
attorney Of these English syndicates as
their candidate for President. And
when their silver is coined into dollars
worth fifty cents, what will they do?
Will they hurry off to England to spend
them, and circulate our silver there?
Not much. They will leave the Ameri-
can merchant, farmer, and laborer To
EMORY the blessings of free and unlimit-
ed coinage, while they will gobble in
and take away the gold, good one
hundred cents dollar for every fifty
cent dollar OF silver. That is what
these English capitalists offer us, when
their attorney is elected president Of
the United States,

Labo- and Silver.

The Santa Fe system has branch
line which runs from Rincon, n. NJ, to
Guavmas, Old Mexico, The company
pays it's section lands in both countries
at the uniform rate of 81 day. But
it's American sections are twice as expen-
sive to MAINTAIN as its Mexican sec
tions. Why? When the paymaster
starts out on his monthly round he puts,
We will say, $500 in United States
money in his box. One Thousand dollars
Of this money he pays to 1000 American
laborers in New Mexico and Arizona.
When he crosses the Mexican boundary
he changes the remaining 500 into 1000
Mexican dollars, with which he pays
1000 Mexican laborers. On Sundays
the men frequently cross the line. When
the Mexican comes over to Arizona he
finds that the dollar which he receiyed
for days work is only SOC in spending
money. On the other hand, when his
fellow laborer from the states crosses
the line he receives two Mexican dollars
for his one dollar Uncle Sans money.
NOTHING better could happen to the
