International Organization.

The international Institute Workers
association was organized last Friday,
at meeting held IN the city hall, by
the members of the Wisconsin insti-
tute corps engaged here during the
week, re- enforced by several repre-
sentatives from other states. Anybody
in any manner connected with farm
ers' institute work in the United States
or Canada is eligible to membership
0. G. Gregg, superintendent of insti-
tutes in Minnesota, was elected presi-
dent, and 2. W, Taylor, holding like
position in Nebraska, was chosen secre.
tary-treasurer. The superintendent in
each state was designated a vice-presi-
dent. The purpose of the meeting and
organization was mainly for an inter
change of views as to institute work
and the exposition of the systems in
vogue in the different states. Such dis
cussion was afforded through addresses
by Supt. Gregg, of Minnesota; Supt, K
L. ButterfeId, of Michigan; Director
Palmer, of Illinois; John L. Shaver,
of Ohio; Supt. George McKerrow, OF
Wisconsin, and Supt. Taylor, of Nebras-
ka. It was generally conceded that
Wisconsin's plan is the most complete
and satisfactory.

A Serious Problem.

The Republican party has been
so much sport at the expense
of the Democrats, who are so much
divided on the money question, that
they have overlooked the attitude of
western Republican senator's on the
silver question. AT the first oppor-
tunity presented in the senate Of the
United States the serious nature of
the Republican sentiment favorable
TO free coinage showed itself in the
opposition to tariff legislation. In
other words, the Republican senators
from the western states say
to the Republican senators
of the eastern states: "You
say We are cranks because
we support free coinage, and charge
against us that it is purely selfish
and in the interest of the west. In
reply we say, that protection is
purely in the interest Of the east,
and your advocacy of it is purely
from a selfish and not from a pat.
riotic standpoint. and you are as
cranky on the tariff as we can be on
silver, because we can see no reason
to protect the eastern manufacturer
than to protect and develope one OF
the greatest sources of wealth that
the United States can boast of,
namely, silver" 1t will be seer
from the above that with nineteer
Republican senators standing uI
for free coinsge that our party i:
confronted 10y a condition and not {
theory. We believe that free coin
age and protection are both Ameri
can doctrines and 60 together a

During the first ten months of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., cotton, provis-

944, 7U6. To this should he added
S43.2j9,051 for silver exported.
Silver does not go out of the country
as money, but solely as merchandise.
1t is n of our products, and an
important one. The total of mer-
chandise exports for the ten months,
therefore, is SGSS, 203, 163. During
the corresponding period Of last
year the exports amounted to $780,
0l5.53G. That is to say, we have
sold l,Sl1,T73 worth this year
less than last.
On the other hand, our imports
this year, again including silver,
have amounted to S6Sj,37O,2 46,
against S57l,919,j76 for the same
period last year. That is to say,
while we have sold less by S~ll,Sll,-
773 this year than last, we have
bought Sl13 ,470,S10 more. This
leaves us 1925, Pop ,64S more to pay
this year than last. And while there
are other elements in the situation,
some of them incalculable, there is
no doubt that our extravaganza in
buying more and selling less is an
important factor in the exchange
situation, tending to the export of
gold in settlement of debt. New
