Wheat ID mp again. The spirits Of
the calamitites droop eorrespondingly.
There are still few left dob lotsl
who say that they do not see any pros
perity returning.
No protest has come from any Of the
manufacturing eenters against the eff
feet of the Dingley tariff law.
The treasury department coined
$1s6. 000. 900 in gold last year and $685.
000, 00c in silver. This looks as though
silver had not been entirely discrimi-
mated against.
during his campaign in Ohio in ex-
plairing why wheat had advanced 50
per cent in value since he visited that
state year ago. while silver had in
| the meantime fallen 20 per cent IN
| value
The three peregrinating patriots
who visited Japan to find out the true
cause, etc. failed to get their report in
as to why Japan demOnetized silver
before the elections. Is it possible
but then. no; they must have been
delayed
Last year the treasury minis coined
$19S. 100000 in gold alone. which is
fair round sum. but the silverites say
how much better it would have been
if they had been forty-cent dollars.
| and then We could have coined i9O. 00O,-
900 of them
| Gold continues to flow into the cOur-
try. The official figures show that the
gold reserve of the treasury has in
creased $4,000, 600 since October LIST.
and that it has now reached a total OF
over S151 100000. Such a condition
shows the baneful workings of a Re-
publican administration and the wick
ed Dingley tariff
The Spanish government has learned
very definitely and very distinctly the
views of President Mckinley on the
Cuban question. and finds that they are
sufficiently vigorous to warrant it in
taking steps for very early settle
merit CT this question in way that
will meet the approval of the United
States government.
Mr.. Bryan'S trip to Ohio worried him
a good deal. He recalled that he went
through that same section of country
just one year ago. predicting dire re-
suits should the people refuse to adopt
free coinage and free trade: yet he
found much greater prosperity than
existed year ago. although free coin
age had in the meantime been rejected
and protective tariff adopted.
Will Mr.. Bryan follow that wing of
the late silver party which is now de-
clarins in favor of the free and un-
limited issue of paper. which costs
nothing. instead of silver. which costs
forty cents on the dollar? 1t would
not be surprising to see him do this.
since his expressions have all along
shown him fiatist at heart. Prob
ably. however, it will depend UPON the
indictment which the silver-mine
owners hold out to him for continu
alter in their ranks and in their SER
vice. -
October expectations continue to be
very heavy. 1t is probable that the
figures for the present month will en-
coed those of any October for many
years, and will continue to show large
sales abroad of our manufactured
goods. The claim of the free-trade-s
that our exports would fall off the mo-
ment we adopted a protective tariff.
especially our exports of manufactured
articles, is not proving well founded.
On the contrary. not a single country
has closed its doors to or legislated all
versely to our products
Democratic papers throughout the
country are now engaged in belittling
John A. Kasson, whom President Nc
Kinley has recently appointed recip-
rocit: commissioner. This action
cores with poor taste from people who
have made such notorious plumbers as
have the Democrats with reference to
reciprocity with foreign nations. Good
results are what are looked for under
the reciprocity features of the present
tariff law, and. Judging from the ex-
ce,leht workings of the reciprocity fea-
lures of the Mckinley law, they will
be forthcoming. and the Presidents
action in the appointment of a COM
missioner is generally commended by
fair minded people.
The refusal of the British govern
ment to agree to open the India minis
should not be looked upon as at all dis
coG:aging to the proposed information
al action on the silver question. On the
contrary, it cannot be reasonably ex-
pected that England would agree to
open India minis in advance of the pro-
posed conference. The fact that her
statesmen indicated clearly that they
would be glad to send delegates to an
other international conference. and
they preferred delaying action on the
India proposition until that conference
Should be held. indicates rather a dis
position to cooperate with the ma
TORS OF the world in the joint action
in favor of silver rather than any ad-
