In the report of the Secretary.
The construction of vessels for our new
navy has been energetically prosecuted by
the present administration upon the gen.
eral lines previously adopted. the depart
ment having seen no necessity for radical
changes in prior methods under which the
work was found to be progressing in a
manner highly satisfactory. 1t has been
decided. however. TO provide in every ship
building contract that the builder should
pay all trial expenses. and it has also been
determined to pay speed premiums in
future contracts. The premiums recently
earned and some yet to be decided are fea-
lures of the contracts made before this
CONCLUSION vas reached.

Democratic promises and Demo-
cratic fulfllment are two different
things. In 1892 many farmers were
deluded into the belief that free
trade would increase the price of
wheat and make the exports of the
country greater. Here are the
figures which tell a different tale
In 1892 we exported wheat to the
value of s161,S99,132; in 1895 our
wheat exports amounted to S40,-
89S,547. Difference $12O,5OO,585.
This is the way the Democratic party

MUCH TO LEARN.

The American people have much
to learn between now and next No
Vember. They must learn that 1t is
time to stop trifing with economic
loans; that the resources of this
country, rich and varied as they are,
cannot supply the drain which is
made upon them by the vacillating
course of politicians and pseudo
statesmen.
Four years ago the nation was en-
joying unexampled prosperity; labor
was employed at remunerative wages;
capital was making sure return;
our relations with foreign nations
were honorable and peaceful, while
peace and plenty brooded over the
land.
This was all changed by the cleo
tion of 1892, when the people over
threw existing conditions and started
on course which has stopped but
a short distance from ruin. Since
March 4, 1892, there has been sad
died upon the country debt of
$262, 100000, upon which there is an
annual interest charge of over SILL
100000. The surplus which re-
mained after years of Republican
rule has disappeared, and in its stead
has been left mass of debts. The
American people have paid the price
of their folly; and years must pass
before the effects will cease being
felt.
This one mistake the nation made.
1t now has an opportunity of making
another. The agitation which is
being carried on for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver is one of
the distressing signs of the times.
Should such a policy he decreed the
consequences to the country would
be dismal. The credit of the ma
ton, the welfare of the people, the
hopes for the future, are all involved
in the settlement of this question.
Free coinage of silver cannot be
defended from any logical standpoint.
A large amount of silver is carried
in circulation because the govern
ment carries a greater amount of
gold in which the silver, should it be
desired could be redeemed. The
amount of bullion in silver dollar,
at the commercial ratio, approxi-
mates fifty cents, and should silver
be coined in unlimited quantities,
the purchasing power would sink to
the commercial value and it would
take two dollars to buy what now
can be obtained for one. The cred
itor to whom debt of fifty dollars
is due. WOULD receive but twenty
five, and the country would soon
sink to an ultra silver basis.
The debtor class might reap a
temporary advantage, but the fruits
would be bitter as further invest
ment of capital would cease and a
business stagnation result, to which
the present stringency would be in
significant in comparison. The
American people maintain standard
of living higher than any other ma
tion. Under silver monometalism it
would be brought to the level of
Mexico.
The present campaign must be
one of education. It is the duty of
every voter to inform himself as best
he may, and next November decide
whether he shall vote to overturn all
honest conditions and throw the
