SOME INTERESTING STATEMENTS.


The New York journal Of Commerce
states that some of the English news
papers give evidence Of revival OF in
terest in England in American railway
securities. Ever since England adopted
the policy of free trade some nifty years
ago, her business has been spreading so
widely, and her wealth has been
increasing 50 rapidly that her people
have the greatest difficulty IN nnding
things in which TO invest their money.
That was a most astonishing statement
made in the House Of Commons on last
Thursday by Sir Michael Hicks-Boach,
the Chancellor Of the E&chequer. when
he told the world that in spite OF the fact
that the expenditures of the Government
had beer greater last year than IN any
year since the CTimean war. the surplus
in the treasury was greater than had
ever been known before, although there
was no increase in taxation, ana the
credit OF the country was never SO hlgn.
That the deposits in savings banks ana
the permanent accounts ia ordinary banks
had risen to an unprecedented amount,
that the Increase ia the values OF exports
and imports. In railway earnings. ana
bankers and clearinghouse returns show
cd a continuous expansion Of trade ana
that the revenues for the year Just
completed were $aG.O0o.ooO more than Tor
the preceding year, and $30,O0)ooO more
than the estimate. This Is what Is now
happening in a gold-staudard, free-trade
country. owning one-half Of all the ship
ping Of the world ana with "a commerce
that exceeds the grasp of the magma
ton: yet having OF coined money ana
paper currency less than $.00.0000o0, While
this country has about N,so00000OO OF
the two.
To a country like ours. that sees the
threat OF debasing its standard OF values
drying up all OF IT'S business, bankrupting
enterprises. and turning laborng men out
without employment, this picture seems
magical. and it ought TO cause our people
10 stop and think and ASK themselves II
a policy that cheats a creditor out OF
one-haif Of his dues. that destroys CON
ndence between man and man. and thus
ends business and commerce, is really the
true way to bring about prosperity.

POPULIST STRENGTH.
Votes Cast in the Southern and
Western States in the Elec-
ton of 1892.

Washington. y. c.. July 23--The con-
OCCASIONAL committees of both parties
have been doing some figuring during
the past week Oh the voting strength
of the Populists. They have also been
estimating the voting strength of the
bimetalliSts.
In 1892 the popular vote of the coun-
try was rs follows: For Cleveland,
5.556.91S:. for Harrison. 5.176.10S; for
Weaver, 1.041 1928. In the elections of
1894 and 1895 the PopuIists made large
strides. In tWenty-seven states of the
South and West they cast /, 152. 327; the
Democrats. 2.04Ge1S0, and the Republic
ans, 1902. 1865.
In Il number of the Southern states
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and
Texas, for instance-the Populist vote in
the last few elections has been strong.
In 1894 the PopulistS cast 96,SSS votes
in Georgia for governor. against III .O4J
for the Democratic nominee. IN Texas
the PoDulistS polled the big vote of 1885,
900 to- 214.SS2 received by the Demo
cratic nominee. Alabama cast S3,2S3
candidate received 110,S56 The Popu-
lists held third place III the last election
in North Carolina, polling $4,000 votes.
The Democrats in the same state poIled
127 ,593 and the Republicans 100,342. In
the Western states, where so much is
hoped for by the Democrats, the Popu-
lists hold first place III q number of states
and are IN Il position to- dictate to the
Democrats what they WANT or Go not
want.
The following table gives the vote of
the three parties III fifteen of the West
ern states in the last elections in those
