A New YORK delegate elected in the
interest of Governor Morton and
pledged to oppose Governor Mckinley
has bolted away brom Boss Platt's set
up and announces he will vote for the
Napoleonic at st. Louis on the first bal
lot. The dispatch announcing the fact
says: "Mr. Bradley 0he delegate) is a
manufacturer of cutlery and has large
interests in high protective tariffs of the
Mckinley order" 1t looks as if Platt's
delegation in New York was going to
pieces verv much as Senator Quay's is

THE Nail Trust is protected in Fleeing

THE Nail Trust is protected in fleeing
the home consumer by a tariff duty,
and has advanced its prices in the home
market over 200 per cent. But its nails
are sold for export at reduction of 40
pr cent. The discrimination against
home purchasers has been so fragrant
that it was possible to buy nails for ex-
port, ship them abroad, bring them back
again, paying freight charges both ways,
and sell them in this market for less
than the trust wholesale price. The
Nail Trust earns dividends for its stock.

PAPERS advocating the free coinage of
silver, says the New York Herald, con
tinue their frantic efforts to persuade
American agrioulturists that the exports
of their surplus products are profitless
under our existing gold standard, but
would be highly profitable under free
silver.
Farmers must be blind as bats if they
can be moved by such talk. What can
be palmer than the proposition that our
farmers, who now get annually $780,
o00, 900, good gold dollars or the
equivalent for the surplus products ex-
ported to England, would under free
coinage receive that number of silver
dollars worth only 90 cents apiece? The
prices of all surplus farm products are
fixed in foreign gold standard countries.
and no free coinage act passed by con-
gress can increase them. Any such at
tempt by congress would be futile and
ridiculous as its numerous professed at
tempts, for political ends, to raise wages
by passing high tariff laws-as power.
less as an act to ''buy the moon"
Free coinage of silver would email
loss of more than 500, ,OOO, 900 eyerv
year to our farmers and planters on the
exports of agricultural products to Great
Britain alone, while it would nearly
double the cost of their living and of
raising their corps.

sPANIARDs STILL wARLIKE.

But the Government Promptly Suppresses
Antagonistic Demonstrations.
MADRID March 3.-The cable dispatches
which are being received here from the
United States are increasing the feeling of
Indignation which was aroused among the
masses when it became known that the
United States senate favored the recogni-
ton of the Cuban insurgents as belliger-
ents, and the newspapers here confirm the
report that Spanish naval squadron,
consisting of four cruisers and n dispatch
boat, is to be sent to Cuba without delay.
In addition, Spanish naval officers and
marines are to be attached to the Spanish
mail boats, which are to be armed and
equipped as auxiliary cruisers. The great
est activity is being displayed in the gov
srnment dock yards, and every prepara-
ton possible is being made by the naval
and military forces for the most serious
eventualities.
A number of students assembled in
front of the university with the intention
of making a demonstration against the
United States, and their intention was to
mob the United States legation. But the
authorities got wind of the affair, and a
strong force Of police was turned out, all
the streets leading to the legation were
blocked, and the students were warned
that rioting would be severely punished.
This city is now quiet the prompt
measures taken by the authorities to sup
press all disorders and the large force of
police present everywhere having proved
to the people that lawless acts would not
be tolerated.
The day was not so quiet elsewhere in
Spain, and attempts at noisy demonstra-
ton of protest against the United states
have been reported from several points.
Barcelona maintained the reputation it
made on Sunday for fomenting unfriendly
demonstrations against the United States,
and the mounted gendarmes were kept
busy patrolling the city and dispensing
gatherings of persons plotting to wreak
their wrath upon the representatives of
the United States government. Renewed
attempts were made by crowds to do vio-
lence to the United States consulate. They
were repeatedly charged by the police and
dispersed, only to form in some other
place with persistent determin alton to
do their will upon the consulate.
| 1t was announced here today that num-
ber of Italian shipowners have offered. in
the event of war, to provide Spain with
steamships to be used as privateers.

ENCOURAGING TO- THE CUBANS
Continued from First Page

the United States should be prepared to
protect the legitimate interests of Ameri-
cans by Intervention, if necessary
Early in the day, before the discussion
on the Cuban resolutions i'm the house had
begun, President Cleveland gave to the
press dispatch received on Sunday even
ing from Minister Taylor, our representa-.
tive at Madrid. The dispatch was as fol.
lows
"The minister of state has just called to
express deep regret that the mob has in
suited the Barcelona consulate, breaking
windows, and offered complete reparation.
He informed me that the government, on
its own motion. has taken every pre-
caution to guard the legation and my res
idence. have asked no protection"
Prior to the receipt of the dispatch mes
sages reporting the assault on the BARGE
ona consulate had been received from
both Minister Taylor and Mr.. Herbert
Bowen, the consul at Barcelona Senior
Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish minister,
also was informed of the news, and he
waived ceremony and called on Secretary
Olney at his residence to express in adj
vance of instructions the regret of his gov
ernment over the occurrence.
The indications of the desire of the Span
ish TO make every amend for
the insult to the consulate were carefully
considered by the president and Secretary
Olney at their conference yesterday. They
were convinced that no affront had been
given for which the government was re-
sponsible and it is understood that Secre-
tary Olney has sent dispatch to Minister
Taylor instructing him to make known to
the Spanish authorities the appreciation
of this government of their prompt dis
avowal of the insult
Tho bill passed by the senate yesterday
for the increase of the navy attracted con-
siderable attention in view of the tension
over Spanish Cuban affairs. In explain
ing the measure Mr.. Hale of Maine, who
reported it from the naval committee,
said that while he did not believe the
United States would be involved in war as
a result of the present troubles, yet he con-
sidered it desirable to give the president
authority in case of emergency to call out
the naval militia and charter private ships
for naval transports. The bill as passed
authorizes the addition of 1000 enlisted
men to the navy and the enlistment for
not more than two years of the naval mil
ltia forces in case of emergency. Another
bill of general interest passed establishes a
retired list for the revenue marine service,
similar to the retirement system of the
army and navy. Many minor bills were
