CLOSING OF MEXICAN WILLS.
That Happy t91 Land OF silver Has TIA
Own Troubles.

\ dispatch from oueietaro. Mex,
states that the Hercules cotton mills of
that city. which include three Of the
largest cotton factories in Mexico. shut
down Saturday morning for az indefi-
mite period, throwing 1000 operatives
out of employment. An overproduction
of manufactured goods is given as the
cause of the shutdown. What? How
is this? DO they have business stag
nation and industrial distress in Mex
leo, that happy land of free silver. which
the free silver advocates are so fond of
painting as a sort of earthly paradise
for the laboring man?
Mexican mills shutting down because
they cannot find market for their
goods. Oh. there must be some mis-
take on this point. Why, we are told
that new mills were rising on all sides
under the blessed stimulus of So-cent
dollars. The Queretaro dispatch talks
about an overproduction of manufac-
tured goods. But how can that be,
when the orators have assured us that
the only difficulty the Mexican mills
have experienced was that they could
not turn out goods fast enough; the
demand far outran the supply?
We must say shutdown is hard lines
for the Mexican operatives, As they
/ are willing to work for what an Amer
can would regard as starvation wages,
and 10 take their pay in 5o-cent dollars
+ NJ that, they ought. at least, TO be Sc
cure of steady employment. But. ap-
+ parentiv. the free coinage Of silver an
/ foris them no guarantee CT work even
AZ the wretched wages they are willing
y to accept. Boston Herald

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Michigan farmers who arc searching
for the true cause of their present de-
preston can find food for thought in
an examination of the figures giving
the imports and exports of agricultural
products in 1898 under the Mckinley
Tariff of 1890 and in 895 under the Will
son-Gorman tariff act.
Under the republican tariff law of
500 we imported in 1893 over III, 000.-
600 pounds of wool valued IT over 3d.
100000. In 1895 under the democratic
tariff law we imported 24s,OO0,o00
pounds of wool, valued at S33. 900.
Nearly S20000.000 worth more of wool
was imported under the democratic
tariff law in 1891. TIL, IMPORTS of
wooden goods in 1894 amourt ted to S16.-
100000 and in 1895 to S57 ,494, 900. From
the reports of the treasury department
at Washington we find that there were
i7,273,oo0 sheep in the United States in
1892. yalIed at Sl25,o00,0O0 On the
LIST OF January, 1896. there were IS. POS
600 sheep in the United States. valued
nj S65,o0l00o--a decrease of 5000 900
in the number Of sheep, and of $50 ,00o,-
GOO in value.
So with other agricultural products.
During the last II months of the re-
publican tariff law there were imported
in this country i4o.o0o.0oo tons of hay.
and during the first II mouths of the
democratic tariff law there were inn
ported 3I3,o0o,o0o tons.
In short the democratic tariff act OF
1894 caused a heavy increase in the inn
portation Of farm products. Thus in
creasing the competition Of Michigan
farmers.
At the same time the heavy increase
Of imported manufactured goods Grip
Piled our domestic manufacturing
concerns. threw lahorers out of en-
ployment and thus deprived the farm
crs If Michigan Of home market.
Thus hampered on the one side bv IN
creased competition and on the other
by the loss of home market, is ii any
wonder the prices Of farm products are
low = Kalamazoo Telegram.

BRYAN CHALLENGED.
The Democratic Candidate Has Made q
Proposition He Can't Prove.

The Democratic Candidate Has Made q
Proposition He Can't Prove.
The Louisville Courier-Journal has
issued a challenge to Mr.. Bryan. 1t
takes its stand on the proposition that
it is impossible to make the market
price of silver bullion Sl.29. Mr. Bryan
having said in New York that free coin
age would accomplish this financial
miracle, the Louisville Courier-Journal
throws down the gauntlet to him in
this way:
i. If Mr.. Bryan, or any other human be-
ing, will show that this country, when IL
had the free coinage Of both silver and
gold at the ratio of sixteen to one. or any
other ratio, was ever able to bring the
bullion value of both metals to the coinage
value and keep them together, thus secur-
ing and maintaining their circulation as
money side by side, and preventing one
from expelling the other, the Courier
Journal viii withdraw all opposition to the
free coinage of silver.
2. II Mr.. Bryan, or any other human
being, will show that any nation on earth,
by the free coinage of both gold and silver
at any ratio, YVES ever able to bring the
bullion value of both metals to the coin
age value ard keep them together, thus
securing and maintaining their circulation
as money side by side. and preventing one
from expelling the other, the Courier
Journal will withdraw all opposition to the
free coinage of silver.
The stake here offered is well worth
playing for. viii the populjst candidate
take up the glove? He is not likely TO
and for salient reasons. In the first
place there is nothing in human expert
ence that gives him a foothold. Silver
has always been q variable commodity.
There are inexhaustible quantities of
it, mined and unmined, in all parts of
the CIVILIZED world. The cost of produc-
ing it alone governs its price. That
cost must be reduced by every new in
yention for mining and refining it. It
is known to exist in thousands and thou
sands of localities where nothing has
been done to bring it forth because at
its market worth the cost could not be
betrayed. To coin it at a fictitious value
of S1.29 an ounce would afford an enor-
nous profit, at least temporarily, for in
the end as a money metal invested at a
fixed value it must find its true level
But the promoters of this revolutionary
campaign would make hay while the
sun shone. Before the crash to national
credit came they would have secured
their booty As every transaction in
life, from the purchase Of peHny paper
TO the investment of a million, would
have to pay them a handsome profit, it
would not take them long 70 glut their
yenality. 1t might be six months or it
might be presidential term. but it
would suffice. They know, and Mr..
Bryan knows, that this country would
not remain an hour beyond the latter
period on a silver basis. But the mints
Of the United States would work fast
enough to make them whole. All they
want is one chance with the tools Of de-
struction in their hands.-Syacuse (N.

THE CLERGY AND BRYAN.
why They Work Against the Popocratic
Nominee.

4 why 1ney nOrk Against the ROpOcrattc
Nominee.
From the day of his nomination down
to the present time, in all his speeches,
Bryan has made some allusion TO the
Holy Scriptures. In almost every in
stance his illusions have been unjusti-
fable, and in many instances they have
amounted to perversions of the text.
With little regard for accuracy he has
stumbled along in his disrespectful
style, in the vain hope that he might be
able in this way to bolster up his dis
honest cause. Now a man who win will
fully or ignorantly, as the case may be,
pervert the Scriptures, viii not hesitate
to assail ministers of the church. And
he did that in his Raleigh speech His
main effort has been to array class
against class. The ministers, realizing
the dishonest course of this boy orator,
have warned their focks against his
teachings, and they would not have full
filled their mission as teachers had they
done less. For is it not their business
TO teach morality and honesty. Now
some of the ministers have spoken out
fearlessly for the cause of honesty and
morality, and because of that Bryan
said to his Raleigh hearers:
My friends. when certain ministers Of
the Gospel denounce the great mass of the
people who stand behind free coinage,
when these ministers have denounced
these advocates of free coinage and have
taken their places upon the side of these
great aggregations of wealth, l remind
them that when the Savior was here II was
the common people who heard him gladly
the very people whom these ministers to-
day cali anarchists and socialists
But it is most untruthful 10 say when
the Saviour was here it was the COM
mon people who heard Him gladly
the people who heard Him gladly
were the general people. There were
titled people who heard Him gladly"
rich people as we'll as poor people, good
people, careless people, Indifferent peo-
pie; in word, what has been desig-
mated, all of the people. Now it is I'M
truthful to say. as Bryan does say, the
very people whom these ministers call
anarchists and socialists" for that is
the same as saying all of the people of
Christ's day were anarchists and So
cialists. Mr. Bryan knows all of the
people of that day were not socialists
and anarchists. He knows the minis
tiers of to-day have not once alluded to
the ommon people as socialists or an
n.sts. They whom the ministers
have alluded to as socialists and anar-
chists are the Bryans, the Tillmans, and
the Altgelds. The very ones. in fact,
who have written themselves down so
cialists and anarchists. The ministers
who have spoken for "sound money!"
for an honest currency, for the prosper
ity of the country and for the best in
terests of the working people have done
so because they believe in morality, in
honor, in loyalty and in patriotism.
They could not do otherwise than to de-
nounce the money scheme which Bryan
represents and which violates the COM
mandment: Thou shalt not steal."-

TO Mr.. BRYAN.

How the people all must love yon.
Gathered at the polls in Mainei
Did their righteous verdict give YOU
Qualns Of conscience. throbs Of pain ?
Don't you think your partner. Sewau,
By dupiicity controlled
When he advocates free silver
But for freights demands the gold?
Or that all the voters relish
Your attempt TO stir up elasses
With vindictiye feelings, helIisf-
Breeding riot in the masses2
Did you hope that your assertions.
Which you never can explain.
Would result in quick conversions
In the honored home OF Blaine?
Can you benefit the farmer.
Help the laborer and mechanic.
By free coinage, when you've stated
That 'twould surely breed a panic?
Are you honestly In earnest,
Or an expert talking Dutch"
When you say our silver dollar
In the market buys too mueh7
We all think that it's daisy.
And don't want il split in two,
It is now good as q gold one,
And we love it-yes, we do
When you come to visit SewaIl
On next Sabbath, bring a man
Who has brains enough 10 give US
Some well formulated plan
For free coinage and free trading.
To II well make no objection
II It's like McKinley's tariff
Noted for wise protection.
That's what we want: Work in plenty,
Honest dollars as our wages,
Making US model nation,
