The TROUBLE WITH FRANCE.
American Cattle Barred TO Protect
- French Farmers

French Farmers.
The following report comes from
Washington: Nowhere in the whole
of the correspondence which the Uni
ted States had last year with the coun-
tries of Europe, which correspondence
IL just now becoming public property,
through advance sheets of the United
States Red Book, Il there exhibited a
more vigorous insistence on the rights
OF the Americans than in the course Of
the negotiations with France, respect
ing the exclusion by the government
of that country of our cattle. The
President himself dictated small but
most important, portion of the CORES
pondsnce in its earlier stages, and the
concluding chapters, contributed by
Secretary Olnsy, sweep away like cob
webs the specious explanations put
forward to justify the exclusion, and
make 1t plain that retaliation may be
expected if the unjust restrictions are
not abated or justified. AS far back
as March Of last year, just after the
fact that the exclusion order had been
issued was made known to the State
Department through Mr.. Vignaud,
our representative at Paris, Secretary
Grsshem cabled that officer that he
had fail d to state the reason for its
issue; that the Secretary of Agricul-
ture had asserted our cattle were free
from disease, and that ''in view of
these statements the President directs
that you inform tho French govern
ment thst the United States regards
this prohibition as needless and un-
friendly interference with an impor
tant branch of the legitimate trade,
and that you rsmonstrato against its
enforcement.
Negotiations at length ensued in
the course of which Ambassador Eus-
tis by instruction of the State Depart
ment pressed the French government
for statement of its reasons for the
issue Of the order of exclusion, and
showed that these reasons were not
based on actual bona fde csses of dis
ease In any American cattle that had
entered France, but APPARENTLY were
founded on desire to exclude Amer
lean cattle from competition with the
French farmers. Finally, Secretary
Olney summed up the position of his
Government in . letter dated October
18th, last, showing that the French
argument was based almost entirely
upon newspaper publications, that
this Government had just ground
for complaint on that score in view Of
the care 1t had exercised TO secure the
inspection OF the cattle exported. It
wosnd up with intimation that if the
French government persisted in re-
garding it ~ necessary for the pro-
tsction of their cattle to exclude the
herds from the United States, the same
process Of reasoning should make 1t
equally essential to the protection of
the cattle Of che United States, that
French cattle, which are attracting 30
much attention here, should be sx-
cludsd from the United States.

- . Government by Money!
The American people will soon 60
to the polls and decide the issues that
are now dividing them. The most con-
spicuous of these issues, the one about
which there is more writing and talk
ing than about all Others is the money
question. But important as that ques-
ton is, there is another OF incidentally
deeper moment To this republic. The
supreme issue before the republic Is:
Shall this nation be ruled by itS
money or its men?
On the one side we have Mckinley,
backed by the concentrated wealth Of
the country. Every trust on which
class legislation in the interest OF the
rich and influential confers the privi-
lege of taxing the masses for private
profit; every syndicate that has made,
or hopes to make, millions by Riding

On the other side we have Bryan,
whose only strength is his cause and

people on the principles for which he
stands. He asks no quarter from the
trusts. He deiies selfish wealth and
challenges il TO exert TO the utmost it's

fuse the issue by controlling the voice

one OF them, strongly bimetallic, and
there is not any reason TO doubt but
that every one of them will help the
democratic ticket on its road to vic
tory.
Two things will be observed in the
list that are striking. The one thing
is that, contrary to all presidents in
such cases, a claim is not made for the
full 224 votes which constitute a major
ity of the electoral college vote; and the
other thing is that not one of the big
states of New York. Ohio. Illinois or
Indiana is claimed, although the COM
mittee has good reason TO believe that
all of the three last named will go for
Bryan.
The &c states included in the above
table are TO be supplemented by the
other four states. of Delaware with
three votes, Maryland with eight votes.
Minnesota with nine votes; and the
previous 2O3 votes which the democratic
committee pronounce to be absolutely

Their votes of the four states just
named, which the committe pronounce
TO be reasonably certain" for the free
silver ticket. will give the 224 votes
necessary to elect, with five TO spare.
But while the committee give out
this list of states and electoral votes
as the list on which they expect to win,
they do not by long odds convey an in
timation, or even squint toward the
idea, that these are all the states that
the democrats are likely to carry. They
contend that the Bryan ticket has a
thoroughly good fighting chance in
Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and q
poorer chance in Ohio and Iowa. New
York, owing to the detcstable treach
cry of Senator Fill. who cold-blood-
eddy but successfully "queered" the
democratic state convention, the com
mittee appears to have abandoned alto
gether, just as green-eyed politicians
like Blackbu and German have done.
But as New York is not necessary
TO democratic success, its loss may be
contemplated with equanimity: the
free silver ticket will win in canter
without it's Gssistance.-N. o. Tines
