the past there is no reason to hope for
cooperation on their part in anything pro-
posed by the Republicans. There is, how
ever, reason to believe that there will be
sufficient cooperation on the part of the
gold Democrats to bring about the pas
sage of the bill in the Senate after a rea-
sonable discussion. Senator-elect McEn-
cry, of Louisiana, although Democrat.
has already expressed his intention to sup
port reasonable protective bill, and It IS
probable that certain of the gold Demo
Gratis will take similar action in case their
votes are necessary to put the bill upon
the statute books.

1,54S,OOO

These great majorities, 80 uniform from
East to West. are unprecedented in Amer
;can politics. They carried with them
seventeen more votes than the required
ma iority of 224. In all these States the
vote was free, full and honestly counted.
There is but little comfort for the Bryan
ties in these figures. And nowhere in the
column does it appear that the "change
of a few votes would have reversed the
result."-New York Sun.

BRYAN AS SPEECHMAKER.
The States in Which He Spoke Voted
Against Him.

To the credit of American intelligence
it may be said that wherever Bryan per-
sonally expounded the false doctrines of
free silver and reputation, just there the
election returns demonstrated his greatest
weakness 1t may be claimed by his ad
mirers that but for Bryan's oratory his
defeat would have been even yet more
disastrous. How could it well have been
more emphatic than the following figures
show? Let us exhibit the result in the
eighteen decisive Mckinley States only:

.$21S, 100000 $2O1, los, OC0

Totals -. .$21S, 100000 $2O1, 100000
According to this table. the production
of last year exceeded that of 1890 by
ST., 395,OO
A still better appreciation of the In
crease in the worlds gold output can be
obtained when it is remembered that for
1894 it amounted to 100000 in round
figures, while in 1891 the total value OF
all the gold mined was only about $780,
100000.
1t is thus seen that the stock of gold
is increasing at an extraordinary rate,
nor is there any possibility that the value
of the yearly output will be less than the
present figures for long time to come

homework AND BETTER WAGES

ENCOURAGING FigureA for the Work

Labor agitators constantly assert that
the number of employed is decreasing and
that wages are growing lower. The statis-

FIFTY MILLIONS or GOLD
Added to the Currency Of the Unites
States In Six Montha.

Within the last six months the gold
mines of the United States have produced
not less than $21, 100000 worth of that
metal. As not more than from 10 to 10
per cent of this metal has gone into the
arts, and as none of it has been exported.
it is apparent that at least $4,000, 100 of
new gold of our own production has been
added to the amount of money in the
country. 1t is immaterial whether this
metal has gone through the mints, since
it is to all intents and purposes money,
whether it is in the form of bullion or
coin. For many Of the uses Of money in

GOLD RAPIDLY INCREASING.

Some Interesting Facts Bearing on
the Question Of the Use Of Silver.
There is an intimate, although indirect,
connection between the question of estab-
fishing bimetallic monetary standard by
international agreement, and the immense
increase, during recent years, in the
worlds production of gold. If the annual
output of gold has reached such figure.
and is increasing at such percentage AZ
to afford virtual guarantee that the
worlds commerce does not require, for
its satisfactory handling, greater use OF
silver than now exists, then the neces-
sity or probability of an international
agreement in behalf of silver is very re-
mote. Now let us study the question Of
the increase in the worlds supply OF gold.
The Engineering and Mining Journal, a
most excellent, though Of course not an
official authority upon the subject, gives
the following figures as representing the
gold production for 1895 and 1895:

FREE TRADE At HOME.

The Greatest "Free Trade" Field IL
Furnished by Our Own States.
There is ripple of pleasurable and sur
prised excitement at present among the
lonely devotees of the markets of the
world fetish concerning the tremendous"
increase in the export of American manu-
featured goods. 1t is estimated that these
exports will reach this year the 'unpar-
alleled total of $26O, 200, 900. 1t was last
year $228, 489, 1893, as against $1S3 .595, TAB
in 1895. The percentage of manufactured
products in all exports rose from FILA to
26.47 per cent between the years 1894
and 1896. The fiscal year ending June 80
is, of course. contemplated in all these
statements. These are large figures when
printed by themselves. They always are
printed by themselves in journals which
see in them the long looked for opening
of the markets of the world. But they
shrink-they shrink piteously-when ar
rayed beside those of the value of the
total manufactured products of the coun-
try in prosperous year, thus:

of the Diamond Pants factory that
during the past few months their busi-
ness has been increasing at an astonish-
ing rate as the result Of the generally
improved condition of the country, and
that they are almost unable to fill their
orders. One order received this week
is larger than any half dozen received
last year. Yet our Democratic friends
continue their calamity howl regardless
of such facts as this and strenuously
endeavor to belttle their country for

1T p-escnt.
NGw icnG, Oct. 5.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, chief of the Cuban Junta, has
Just received letter from Gen. Gomez,
,o!r rnander-in-chief of the Cuban
'iay.
"Weylers successor in Cuba" writes

ccbcllion ut its present stage, Will be
obliged to demand 100000 troops and
sl0o. 900. OUJ and even then he will fail
Is ignolniniously as Weyler has failed.
Oar men were never imbued with
more hopeful spirit than they are at
present The campaign in Las Villas
las been an utter failure. The Span
sh soldiers avoided us at every possi-
BILE opportunity. This served to en-
courage our men. I am glad to say
that we are all confident of ultimate
success. If Wcylcr be recalled, his
successor, whoever he may be, will be
surprised to see the spirit of victory
which animates the brave Cuban
troops. We can not be subdued and
no one knows this better than Wey-
lcr."
With the Gomez letter was one from
Gen. Calixto Garcia, who commands
the troops in the eastern province. 1t
gave some particulars concerning the
capture of Las Tunis on August 30
last.
"Thc dynamite gun which you sent
u.s." writes Gen. Garcia, played an
important part in the capture of Las
Tunis. Its destructive shells spread
terror through the Spanish troops. We
besieged it for three days, when it
finally surrendered. We found many
of the troops in terrible condition.
At least 100 men fell victims to the
dynamite shells, good many more
being badly wounded. The rest of
the 500 men were in an utterly
demoralized condition when the Span
ish flag was hauled down. Our losses
numbered 60 men. All the sick and
wounded Spaniards were sent to hos
pitfalls and given every possible at
tention. The prisoners were all re-
leased.
IF we had few more dynamite
guns we should soon end the war.
Reports of it's destructive work here
have spread all through Cuba and have
disheartened the Spanish soldiers"

AFTER 81 YEARS
Capt. Cutter Hears From His Old Bri
gade Commander.


AS the 25th annual reunion of the
survivors of the nth Ohio Infantry
the following extracts from a letter
written by Gen. F. M. Drake, who is
now Governor of Iowa, to Capt. L. j.
Cutter are published by request and
are quite suita BILE at this time:
MY DEAR CoMRADE CUTTER-I am al
ways glad to hear from any of the COM
rades who were close to me in the SER
vice.
The battle of Marks Mills, Ark, was
one OF the bloodiest and hardest fought
battles of the war. The First Iowa
Cavalry was to have been part of our
command and to have started with us
from Camden, but Gen. Steele gave or
ders for us to go ahead and they would
overtake us during the first day. We
were literally overwhelmed by the en-
emy, commanded by Major General
Pagan and seven brigadier generals, a
force of about eight thousand men.
Our men fought with great bravery
and determination until we were liter
ally cut to pieces and captured.
Wishing you and the comrades OF
your regiment great prosperity and
happiness. | am,
Yours in f. C. and L..
+. NJ. DRAKE.
Gen. Drake was mortally wounded
in this battle and his entire command
captured and subsequently, confined ten
months in the notorious rebel prison
pen at Tyler, Texas, where 40 per cent
of this gallant command died of scurvia
and other diseases incident to such
treatment as was received in rebel
prisons during the war.
The rebel surgeons considered Gen.
brakes wounds of such serious ma.
ture that he was paroled in the field
and sent through to our line to die,
but recovered and is governor of Iowa
today.

can be reached in a roundabout manner by
Allentown Camp grounds, but that adds
several more miles to the journey. The
route generally used by the local cyclists
Is to cross the Anacostia BRIDGE go past
the Insane Asylum, take Nichols avenue
out to Livingston road. and thence to the
place by the almost straight river road.
Another way of getting out is to ride up
Good Hope hill, take the Hamilton road,
which leads to the Livingston road, and
continue on in that direction.
The condition of the roads will be about
as good tomorrow as at any time during
the season. barring raan tonight. The first
part OF the ride is excellent, but towards
the middle and end thef roads get some
what worse, though in most cases there
is footpath which can be used and which
Is wide enough for a novice, affording good
riding. II the trip is made in daylight there
will be no trouble In crossing Broad creek
just north of River View, and there is less
liability of missing the roads.
By way of caution 1t might be added by
going past. the Insane Asslumn and taking
Nichols avenue the incline Is not near so
steep as when the Good Hope road is
taken.
