their part in talking about it; indeed, the very fact that we might be in such helpless" condition, would be the best reason in the world why they should not advertise it to foreign countries. Let us do what we can to remedy the matter, and in the mean time be more careful about giving away information of so much value to "the enemy"

.Albuuueruue Citizen:

1ANO Uq uOIQUC OHIIltH. AIIUNUlOn has been called to the indiscreet ut terances of some of our prominent army and navy officials. referring to what they call the ''helplessness" of the country in case of war with for tign power. The truth is. we are not half as badly off in regard to our fla cilities for defense on land or sea as these gentlemen represent US to be, but if the situation were as bad as they make it out, or even much worse
 it would not excuse the indiscretion on

Albuquerque Citizen: It has an ugly look, and people are talking about Governor Thornton's course in the prize-fghts. He now announces that he cannot prevent the fight on New Mexico soil. The governor was at El Paso a few days ago, and the concessions are said to be valuable.

Because of the lower prices ruling in 1895 that in 1894, we received s99.- 766, 404 less on our exports of these ten commodities than we otherwise would. In the face of an increase in the quan- tity of these ten articles of agricul- tural export of 8 1-3 per cent, the total value decreased liz per cent
 Hence it must be apparent to thoughtful students of economic prin- ciples, unbiased by partisanship, that no remedy for existing conditions car be successfully applied until the cause of the trouble can be removed As il is herein made clear that the cause is low prices and that the only thing that can permanently increase prices is to increase the currency, let us drop ev- erything else until silver is restored. The fact that there was sufficient revenue under the Mckinley bill to meet the government requirements and balance of trade in our favor, does not prove that the same condi- tions would prevail now, were that law restored, because the Sherman sil- yer law was repealed at about the same time that the Wilson tariff was en- acted. and it is that which has done the mischief, and not the Wilson law, which was so much of a Republican protective measure that the president refused to affix his signature to it.

It is expected that something will drop shortly in Democratic official cir cles. But that has been expected for SC long that nothing short of the actual event will convince people that the ad. ministration at Washington has really determined to move in the matter.

The Albuquerque Citizen suggests that the National Republican delegates from Arizona, New Mexico and Okla homa pull together in the St. Louis convention. The suggestion is a good one and will meet with the views of Arizona Republicans.

NO REMEDY WITHOUT SILVER

If the gentlemen who maintain that a reformation of the tariff on more pro- tective lines will relieve the so-called embarrassment of the treasury, stop the exportation of gold, increase the revenues of the government to a point which would render them adequate to it's needs and restore business ac- tivity and prosperity, would give the question more thoughtful and careful study than any they have done, and would lbe honest with themselyes and the public, they would see and ac- Knowledge that no possible adjust ment of tariff duties alone can accom- plish these things while the country is in the transition period between a bi- metallic and a gold basis.
 It might be possible few years lat CT, after every evidence of bimeta.- aic currency has been obl;terated and all prices have been firmly. established on 8 gold basis, but even that is prob 9ematical. In the meantime the gov ernment would be sunk hopelessly in debt and the people bankrupted.
 While the balance of trade is against HIS gold will be exported While gold is exported, under the present system of Tedeeming government obligations in gold, bonds must foe issued to get the gold The balance of trade must re- main against us as long as the present or a lower range of prices is main Eained. The level Of prices can only s,e raised, the balance of trade turned an our favor, the outflow of gold stopped and the revenues increased through an increased commerce, by re- suming the coinage of silver.
 With silver restored tariff can be made effective, both as a source of revenue and as protection, but not otherwise.
 MT. Carlisle says that the adverse trade balance is caused by diminished exports of domestic products, although by little research he could have as certained that such an assertion is eontradicted by facts.
 It has already been shown that the exports of cotton in 1895 were largely ln excess of those in 1894, and that the exports of wheat were but slightly di- unfinished, and if we had received the same prices for these two staples in 1895 that we did in 1894, the difference on these two staples alone would have been almost enough to turn the bal sance Of trade in our favor and stop the sxportation of gold.
 And, as with wheat, so with four Our exports decreased in volume from 16,859, ,533 barrels to 15,26S, ,S92 barrels, or less than 10 per cent, but the value decreased from s69,271,77O to s51 ,651, 928, or over 25 per cent.
 The total value of our ten principal agricultural exports, cotton, wheat, wheat flour, corn, bacon and hams,
  lard, pork, beef, tobacco and cheese, is given as s510O12,6S6 for 1894, and $452, ,719, ,941 for 1895, a decrease in the value of these exports of $57, ,292, ,745, or 11.2 per cent; but this decrease was not due to diminished exports, as we have shown in the case of the most im- Eortant exports, but solely to the fall in prices. !5I

SANTA FE REDUCTION.
There VIII Be Some DismissaIs. But
No General One at the Shops.

There Will Be Some DismissaIs. But
No General One at the Shops.
The new Santa Fe management is
making general reduction in the official
and clerical forces of the road.
This week announcements have been
made public of the adjustment of the
offices of two superintendents and two
general roadmasters, the adjustment of
one passenger train between Kansas City
and Chicago. a reduction in the road
masters working force at EmEoria. and
many other minor reductions along the
system.
In addition to the many changes
which have been made along the line of
the road in Kansas and in the operating
department generally there have been
numerous orders issued for reductions
in the working force in the traffic de-
partment.
The working forces in the commercial
agencies of the road in several eastern
cities have been reduced and during the
week several eastern passenger agents
have been here to arrange for an extern
sion of their territory which means that
some of the other eastern agents will be
relieved from duty.
Today a story gained circulation to the
effect that a wholesale reduction in the
working force of the Topeka shops was
contemplated aed that at least one half
of the present force would be laid off
within a few days.
When asked about the proposed reduc-
ton this morning General Manager J. j.
Frey said: There is absolutely nothing
in the story. l suppose because a few
men have been discharged at other points
the railroad gossips will now have us is
suing orders to lay off half the working
force of the road
81 suppose Mr.. Player will lay off a
few men here and there wherever he can
spare them without injuring The service.
He always does that; but as to any gene
raj reduction being contemplated, there
is nothing in it," Mr.. Frey further said
that the reductions in the clerical forces
of the various departments is not in &C
cordance with an arranged programme
for putting the road on a different work
ing basis, but said it was simply to carry
out what has always been the policy of
the company to employ only the
men necessary to do the work and
keep up the service"

WHISKY PARDON.
Governor Morrill, Sets Free a
Hutchinson JOintist.
Bane was to Serve SO Days
and Pay $1,7O0 Fine.
DISSATISFACTION.
Was a Long List of Protests but
They Were Not Needed.
Bane was an Old Soldier Which
Created Sympathy.

HUTCHINSON, Jan. Ex-Governor Nor
rill has affixed his name and the seal of
the state to the proper papers that will
make Eph. Bane free.
Bane is now IN jail serving sentence
of 80 days in jail and a fine of 81, 700
on the charge of selling Intoxicating
liquors contrary to the prohibitory law.
According to the provision of the pardon
Bane is to pay all costs in the case, and ia
never TO enter into the whisky business
in Kansas again.
Bane WAS committed TO jail Novem Der
20, 1895. He was tried at the Septe N Der
term of court last year and the case was
appealed to the appellate court. That
tribunal sustained the decision of the
lower court, aud Bans entered into the
unwelcome task of serving out the long
sentence.
The bane case has attracted no little
notice in this city. He is an old soldier
and when he was convicted much sym
patty was created for him on that
account, and many prominent citi
zens signed petition for his
pardon. On the other hand, however,
there was a long list of protests went in
to the executive office against the COVER
nor taking this action.
When Governor Morrill, was here a
few weeks ago he was interviewed by the
friends of Bane and also by a delegation
of women representing the different w.
c. 7. L. organizations in the city. The
ladies were very much opposed to Bane
being parGoned and the news that Gov
ernor Morrill, has granted clemency has
aroused bitter feeling among them.

Taken Out by the Father to Get Some
Candy They Utterly Disappear.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 81. - About four
O'clock yesterday afternoon, the little
three ear old daugh ter of Mrs. Moore
was kidnapped by its father. Tho couple
have been married about four years and
their married life has not been pleasant,
if the story of the heart broken mother
is TO be believed. Their troubles culmi-
mated five weeks ago, when Mrs. Moore
with her bright little daughter, returned
to her parents. It seems that Moore had
been stopping with a widow woman, Jen-
ME Clark. o. at least was
boarding there and yesterday called
at the home of the Haiglers and asked
permission to take the child from the res
taurant and buy it some candy. His re-
quest was granted, but soon after they
were gone the instinct of motherhood
caused her to feel uneasy, and started in
search of her child, but she was unable
to locate il, or its father.
In searching for her child Mrs. Moore
visited the home of the Clark woman and
found that her hus bands clothes were
concealed beneath the wearing apparel
of Mrs. Clark's, hanging on the nails in
her room. 1t also showed that the cloth
ing of the child had been changed.

three weeks since August 18th, all i'm
porting countries have absorbed IA. $780,
900 bushels more foreign wheat than
estimated requirements at opening of
the season. From this it is apparent
that importing countries will require for
this year 40S million bushels against 1856
millions, and to provide for this every
available bushel Will need to be drawn
from America and Russia" The stu
alton is growing stronger as each day
goes by and we advise purchases on re-
actions for a good advance
Corn and oats were sold heavily by re-
ceiving houses and suffered small de-
cline. Considering the unmerciful ham,
mering by big bear plungers today we
are we'll pleased with the situation, as
the market stood it well, and all offerings
were absorbed easily on the decline.
Provisions were strong at the opening.
and scored a good advance. Packers and
long holders sold heavily, however, and
caused slight break, butyesterday's ad-
vance was we'll sustained. Hog receipts
are running lighter every day. and no
prospects OF an increase until next April
or may.
