DIFFERENCE OF EXCHANGE

What is meant by the difference of ex-
change Is the difference between the gold
price and the silver price of commodities
used in commerce between the gold STAN
dard countries and the silver standard
countries. 1t is now nearly 100 per cent
This gives great advantage to the pro-
ducers of silver standard countries. For
example: Russia being a silver standard
country, the silver rouble being her unit
of account and her paper being on
par with her rouble, has enjoyed
unexampled prosperity during the past
twenty-three years. For example,
Russian farmer who owes in debts one
thousand dollars takes a thousand bush
els OF wheat to Liverpool; the American
farmer owing the same amount of debts
and taxes takes one thousand bushels of
wheat to Liverpool; each sells his wheat
for sixty cents per bushel, making 5000
In gold which each receives. The Rus
sian farmer converts his $500 in gold into
Sl,2OO of Russian money, pays his debts
and has 5000 with which to produce more
wheat. The American farmer returns
with his $500, makes payment on his
mortgage and is compelled to pay com
mission to get an extension on the other
$4OO, and has nothing with which to pro-
duce more wheat. This accounts for the
fact that silver standard countries have
competed the United States to sell her
farm products in European markets be-
low the cost of production. This same
principle applies to manufacturers and all
other commodities produced in Russia,
Asia and South America. 1t is tariff
against the producers of the United
States, as 1t affects every commodity in
ternationally dealt with. 1t places labor
of the United States at disadvantage of
one hundred per cent. in competing with
Asiatic labor. No. tariff can compensate
for this hundred per cent. advantage
which the silver standard countries enjoy
under the gold standard. The result has
been that.every silver STANDARD country
has prosper ed for the. last. twenty-three
years beyond any parallel in it's history,
and every gold standard country has
been on the constant decline until univer-
sal distress prevails in every gold stan
dard country in the world.

The fact that Mr.. Bryan has been in
vited to lunch with Senator Hill on the
occasion of his visit to Albany is taken
by the politicians to mean beyond perad-
venture that the New York leader will
soon openly announce his support of the
national Democratic ticket. This decis-
ion on the part of Senator Hill will be a
heavy blow to the ''sound money Dem
ocrats, not only in New York State, but
all over the Union, and is in itself one of
the strongest Indications of the trend of
Democratic politics. 1t means that the
bolt as an independent movement will not
amount to much, and that it will be
largely offset by the gain to the Chicago
nominees i'll the support of Populists and
silver Republicans.

are received with great enthusiasm. He
has completely recovered his voice. and
his speech at Tivoli on the 22nd instant

Spain has already sent one hundred and
twenty-five thousand officers and men to
Cuba to suppress the rebellion there; but
these are rot enough. Insurgent bullets
and machetes, the yellow fever, small

sent, and General Wcyler has called for
forty thousand more men, who are being
