During nine of these fifteen years the
trend of the gold movement was in our
favor, and during only two of the remain
ing six years-that is to say, in 1889 and
1S91-was the outward movement large
enough to attract attention. In 1889
there were large importations under the
tariff of 1883 for the purpose of antici-
pating the increased duties of the Nc
Kinley bill, and this caused an outward
fux of gold in payment. In 1891 the ex-
traordinary outflow arose largely because
of the Barring failure, which caught in
its crash many foreign holders of Ameri-
can securities, who, being pinched for
ready money, had to return some of those
securities to this country fror redemption
These explanations are ample to account
for the exceptional exports which char
acterized two of the years of the Harri-
son administration, when the revenues of
the country were upon highly protective
basis. Adding imports together and COM
pairing results for the fifteen years in
question we find that the aggregate i'm
ports to the amount of $1O1, 56S, $40.
During this period the national debt was
reduced from $2349, 567 ,232. O4 in 1879 to
VI ,563, 612, 455.63 in 1892, a total reduc-
ton of $7S5, 1854, 776.41.
Now let us turn to the years from 1893
to 1896, when tariff reform" held the
boards:
1893. Exports ss7 5oe 4es
1894. Exports .............. 4.52S942

*Eleven months ended May 81
Here we have total loss of gold dur
ing the short era of Democratic tariff
reform" of $197, 531, LOG, or a net loss i'm
four years of sos, 1929 over the net
gain accumulated during the preceding
fifteen years. During these same disas,
trous four years of Wilson German tar
iff reform, the national debt has been in
creased in principal $500, 454 $50, and in
interest yet to be paid almost $3.50, OOO.-
600, or over $5OO,OOO,OOO in all. Had
the voters of the United States not heed
ed the false arguments of Democracy in
increased in principal and interest over
half billion dollars in the intervening
four years, would, at the same rate of
decrease which prevailed from 1870 to
1872, have been lowered to the extent of
S224, Boo, 5O7.3 30. and instead of loss of
$197, 531 JOG through gold exports we
should, at the ratio of the preceding fif-
teen Republican years, have had a net
gain through imports amounting in the
four years to $27, OS5,O12. Recapitulat-
ing these losses, and not saying anything
of the tremendous personal losses infiict-
ed by the tariff reform" experiment
upon all classes of American citizens
for these in the aggregate are obviously
incalculable-we find that the Change of
1892 from Mckinley protection to Will
son-Gorman free trade has cost the gov
eminent of the United States directly, in
it's finances, not less than $949, ia, :

This loss has nothing to do with the

From a Manifesto Ivy the Illinois Sound
Money Democrats.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed it's sessions in the city of
Chicago.
1t entered upon it's work by violating
all precedents in the rejection of dis
tinguished Democrat as it's temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived sovereign state of voice
in it's deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tional administration.
1t adopted platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver by
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to /,
and thereby it repudiated time-honored
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that, al
though in name, it was not in fact q
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always been
even in his professions, a Democrat.

In the high school building 500 white

assembled, followed by crowd OF white
men and negroes. White school boys
had large stones in their pockets with
the intention OF using them on the ne
groes as they entered the building. II
Is said every negro child in the city
asked for Ambulance. Officers escorted
four colored children into the high

protest against receiving them, but the
children were made to sit down.
