The farmers are rapidly getting
back the $50, 600, 900 which they lost

A year ago they said even that

Speaking of the s'growth of exports

will the Democrats claim the recent
foreign sales of American tin as due

People who are wondering what the
Democrats will find for an issue in

1.-THE benefit of protection goes first
and last to the men who earn their
bread in the sweat of their faces. The
auSpicIOuS and mOmentOuS result is
that never before in the history of
the world has comfort been enjoyed,
education adqu1red; and independence

Mexican workmen. who get less
than half what those of the United
States get, are having a hard time

964 bales. 1t has been sold for about
$3.50, OOO, 900, or something more than
the total volume of the greenback
currency. This is more than five
times the value of the annual silver
product of the country. What folly
is it then for cotton growers to think
that their prosperity depends upon
''doing something for silver" when
all the silver produced in the country
would not buy one in five of their cot
