A Warning From the West.

Recently a leading member of the
house Of representatives who has busi-
ress interests in the west made a trip
through Indiana and Illinois. and he
returned to Washington with word
from the people, concerning the de-
iay in the passage of the tariff bill,
which should be needed. The honor
able gentleman said, IN speaking OF the
situation he found in those great and
progressive industrial s. ates of the
middle west:
The universal cr.- CT the people is
for relief from the dangers which
threaten in the way &c an overstock-
ed market. The slight impetus that
has been given to Industry in this
country by the assure. &C that a tariff
bill will soon be passed will be re-
tarded by the fact that the increased
importations are crowding cut Ameri-
can goods and filling the markets with
cheap importations. These goods are
reaching the west. They are in bond,
in warehouse. in transit ard in store,
irundating a market that has already
suffered from under consumption as
a result of the idleness and low wages
that followed the free trade policy.
1 say the goods are cheap. They are
cheap and trashy. The mills of the
foreigner are running day and night
rushing out the cheapest possible fab
relations for the American market.
have heard some Democratic repre-
sentatives say that the importations of
cheap" goods would be source of
qualification to the workingmen of the
country This is the usual Democrat
ic illustration Of the beauties and
glories of free trade l have yet to
hear the first Democrat explain what
satisfaction it would be to the Ameri-
can v.orkingman who is out Of en-
ployment beclnse his factory is shut
down, and who stands in idleness
without dollar in his pocket. to learn
that the shoddy imported goods are
selling at lower prices than they could
be produced by the mills and factories
Of the United States.

terfered with other great business in
terests of the country and checked
production. The effect of this has been
to throw labor out of employment: the
men who once had money to buy farm
products have been living only by the
greatest economy. and the surplus of
farm products has accumulated In the

what about the attitude of the ad-
ministration, Mr.. Secretary, and its
desire for speedy tariff action?"
1.-THE administration has been earn

a measure that will correct the evil
results of the Wilson low-tariR free

expected to give adequate protection to
the agricultural interests and with a
tendency to remove the present exist
ing depression. There has been less

So ~ New Facts About Our Currency.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Washington was
somewhat embarrassed by the stimuli
taneous announcement Of the director
Of the mint that the gold production OF
the United States in 1896 was $53. OSS.-
600 and is likely to be over SCI, OOO, 900
in 1897. This figure for 1896 is greater
than for thirty years, and II the pro-
ductiOn for 1897 exceeds SO millions. as
is expected, it will be the greatest n
the history of the country. with the
single exception of 1853. which reached
IS million dollars The total coinage
Of the minis Of the United States In
the fiscal year just about to end will
be in round numbers 100 million dol
lars. That of last year was in round
numbers 80 millions. In the same con-
nection it may be remarked that the
money in circulation in this country is
$13S. 1862 greater than the circula-
ton one year ago. Add to these inter
esting facts one other, namely. tina.
the gold production of the world this
year is likely to reach $50 million dol
lars, or far more than any other year
in history. and makes a very unpleas-
ant combination for the advocates Of
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
