We have the full official repOrt Of
this year only I'D to the end Of April.
The remaining two months, il the same
proportion be observed, give total Of
$3.50 41S,9C0 FOR the entire year.
Upon what information does Mr.. Nc
Kinley base his assertion ttat "ouc
foreign trade" in exports has been pre-
cipiJately cut oT?' The exports for
the year now closing have exceeded
those Of every year lone excepted of the
four years during which MS tariff was
in force, and those Of every other year
since 1881
TIE exports Of 1892 we're exception
ally large. owing to crop conditions
here and abroad In that year the
exports Of wheat and other bread-stuffs
rose from SIPS 900, 900 in 1891 to $685.
S63.117. falling to $2OO.OOO,OO9 in 1893
and to S166, 100000 in 1894. The aver
age for the three remaining years of the
Mckinley tariff is less, by more than
S2O.OOO,OO0, than the exports for this
year
In the face Of these official figures
Mr.. Mckinley deliberately asserts that
our foreign trade" has been 'precipi-
lately cut on
We assume that ne does not refer to
imports. because he believes that these
should be cut of" and because he and
his followers have been accustomed to
say that since the tariff was changed
the imports have been increased to the
proportions Of a flood" But, as we
have said, there has been no flood"

TO this matter.

the fact taat in the first ten months

ARGUING rHE CURRENCY QUESTION.

ARGUING TUE CURRENCY QUESTION.
The silver bug asks the gold bug why
farm products are so low. The gold
bug. according to the argument we have
before us in an Eastern paper. replies
that the products Of the farm bring
low prices because we have more corn.
cotton and wheat than We can con-
sumo at home"
Then the silver bug asks:
THAT being SO why is it necessary
to establish soup houses in every city
in the land to keep people from starry
ing? Or why this anomaly: The far
mer of the West burning wheat and
corn for fuel because they are too poor
TO buy coal. and the miners of the East
starving because they can net dig coal
and get money to buy wheat?"
The single gold standard folks have
yet TO give a good explanation Of this
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1896-07-02

One of the prime arguments OF the
gold bugs is that free coinage would
flood the country with cheap silver dol
lars. This certainly Was not he soun-
try's experience JLuer uee collage Up
10 the " ar 1873 wnel the coinage of he
silver dollar was abandoned because
there was more than 100 cents worth
Of silver in a dollar. and when Mr..
Sherman slipped in the resolution limit
ing silver coinage the United States
mints had only coined ABOUT $S.00O,O 900
in 81 years. Since 1873 the minis III
this country have colled 1923. 2S9, 800

nrcYcLrs AND GOOD ROADS.

The League Of American Wheelmen
has undertaken the commendable work
OF engineering d general movement for
good roads throughout the country. 1t
has a membership of $4,000 and is ca
pable of accomplishing much in this
direction. 1t should not confre its
efforts 10 The party conventions. A
shorter cut to the desired reform would
be 10 address directly the various State
Legislatures. A State tax OF one dollar
per annum on BICYCLES. the fund 10 be
allotted to the various counties for road
cXi uses. would not be resented by the
vheelmen as a hardship, but would be
paid most willingly by the great ma
iority Of them. Let the organized
wheelmen Of the various States propose
such a tax, and the respective Legisla-
lures would not be slow in falling in
with the idea.
Ten years ago the problem of good
roads was a veXing and seemingly a
hopeless one. The advent Of
the bicycle has simplifed it
amazingly; and now with coop
Grafton among the wheelmen of the
cooperation among the wheelmen of the
country there is no reason Why the
United States in the next quarter of a
century might not develop the best
road system in the world

The statement has been made that
Hon. John T. McGraw was gold
standard advocate. Mr.. McGraw, in
an interview with the Register cores
pondent at Parkersburg, declares I'M
equivocally for the use of silver at 16

Graw was elected a delegate to Chicago
as a gold man, and would advocate
gold platform, is without foundation,
and does the Colonel a great injustice.
West Virginia's delegation to Chicago
will. therefore, be solid for silver.
