Rock Ribbed Fact Which Ought to Make
Young Men Think.
At the close of the recent session
OF Congress Senator Stewart gave a
brief review of the "dO nOthing' record
1t made and closed his remarks with
TINS burning, blistering statement of
fact
what an outrage it is that here after
thlrty years of profound peace and
abundant harvests, the opportunity for
an honest, industrious man should be
worse than it has been at any period
since the landing at Jamestown /,
Never in all history have there been
such CALLING hard times, such discour-
aging conditions, so much despair and
want and misery among the masses of
the laboring people, and particularly
among agriculturists, as there ara to-
DAY. NO young man can 20 forth into
legitimate business and make money.
because prices are falling, and if he
produces property it is worthless in
his hands. And this condition, known
OF all men, has been treated with rid
lcule and contempt by this Congress !,
we have sat supinely here and never
raised hand to relieve the people
from the burden under which they are
grOaning!
suppose We may as we'll adjourn,
for we shall do nothing. This is a do
nothing Congress, and it is proposed
to carry on the business of doing moth
ing and have no issue except an issue
to grind the people and to avoid giving
them any relief. That is all that is
proposed for the future, and suppose
the sooner Congress adjourns the
better. I shall not prolong it session"

had TO elect five delegates and five
alternates to their county conven-

tend the primary, and one of those
was the merchant to whom the store

there were only nineteen cotton mills
in Japan: in 1883, Is. During the
the same period the imports of
raw cotton increased in value from
500 ,e.3 TO tf6,ls1 10; and there has
been large further increase since
while the imports Of manufactured
cotton goods from Great Britain and
Bombay fell between 1s.- and lsas

can see no reason why japan should
not be able in . short TIM. 10 supply
moi only all the cotton goods she wants
herself. but the Chinese markets too.
and indeed she can easily compete,
and successfully too, with us 1t home.
and even with America. Nor are her
efforts confined TO cotton: she intends
Immediately TO establish sugar re-
fineries in Formosa greatly 10 the det-
riment OF Hong Kong.
Her wooden manufacturing industry
has made wonderfully satisfactory
start: plants and capital from Europe
and America and Germany have been
put in successful operation already
with many more to fellow. Even Jap
anese coal has driven the South Wales
article out of nearly every port east of
Singapore, and has penetrated as far
as Bombay
Now, when We of the United States
see these dangers confronting us, and
learn that this whole field of ruinous
competition has been developed by
the use Of silver as money, and re-
fleet that it has been done in the in
terest OF a few gold dealers, by bribed
lawmakers, and that it is even now,
while only in its infancy closing many
Of our factories and causing machin-
cry to stop in order to limit the out
put as means of temporary relief, it
makes us feel alarmed over our fate.
Already Japan has a line of agencies
established from San Francisco to
Boston to handle her textiles, which
it is claimed she is laying down in
this country at a profit of Is per cent.
at the precise price that it costs our
| factories to manufacture them. And
| that this thing must continue until
China and Japan get blind, and estab-
lish the English gold standard. But
thank God. England in running
AmcElCd, has ruined Ue!SolI. the uay
of reckoning will be at her doors in
less than two years. But there is yet
| hope for our country if our people
| will only heed the warning, return to
the money of the Constitution, and
| the government of our fathers. He
who invests money in any of the lead
ing manufacturing industries of this
country, while present financial sys-
TENS exist, may be well assured that it
is lost. The tariff howl will not save
US. China ard Japan will protect
their ''infant Industries" which will
close their great markets against the
| Western countries, and we may as
| well begin to prepare for the ap-
preaching struggle for existence.
| Will our people read the handwriting
on the wall, or will they blindly per-
slst in turning the United States into
commercial graveyard? Let the
printing press, the great conservator
of nations existence, print the warn
ing and guide our people out of the

the circulatian and character of the
