Not even the satisfaction is left to
tue free-trade Democrats Of saying
that the Wilson law was better tor the
exporters of American manufactures
than the Dingley law. They thought
they had things dead to rights on this
score. and that as soon as the new law
went into operation they would be
able to point to the decrease in the
Expectations Of American manuiac-
lures, but in the very first month Of
the new laws operations the exporta-
tions Of manufactured articles were
larger than in the corresponding
month Of any former year. This is
disappointing to these gentry, and
somewhat amusing. in connection
with their walls Of regret that such
wicked measure should be enacted as
the Dingley law, which would cut off
our foreign markets.

THE lNsuRGENT.

They dragged him from his dungeon
AT dawning of the day.
And out between the soldiers,
Drawn up in wars array.
They bound his eyes in darkness
And faced him to the wall
OF an old deserted convent
The bravest heart of all.
The captain gave his orders,
And Ready was the word;
The fearless young insurgent,
Unflinching, calmly heard.
Then shouted forth his challenge.
30, God, make Cuba freep'
And "Aimp' the captain ordered
With voice of villainy.
When, lol before the captive
A secret door swings wide,
And in the narrow passage
Behold the Cuban's bride
She looked a saint, and lifted
Her eyes unto the sky,
Imploring aid, and whispered;
'Murillo, is it /.
And in a moment led him
Into the ruin gray,
And shut the door behind her,
And bore her lover away.
Like marble stood the soldiers
Ii >e stone the captain stood
There faces white with terror
And icy cold their blood.
"a miracle for Cubalo
At last their lips decreed
THE Virgin fights for Cuba!
AS witness this, her deed"
That night score of Spaniards
Deserted to the Cause,
And they will fight for freedom
With neither stint nor pause.
And they will leave their Bodies
Where battle may decree,
And dying bless the Virgin
Who tolls for Cuba Free.

The campaign of 1896 was remark
able for the interest shown and the
active work done by the business men
of the country. The blow aimed at
business by the free silverites was rec
ognized as heavy and dangerous one,
and the best elements of the business
world lined up in opposition. 1t is
now observed that the States where
the money question is an issue the
business men are again coming to the
front and reviving and keeping up
their organizations Of last year.

1t is a pity that this country should
be so completely at the mercy of the
gold power" of England. Gold has
been poured into the United States, at
San Francisco, New York, and all the
great ports, until our gold circulation
is fifty million more than it was a
year ago, while the total increase in
circulation isnearly a hundred million
There really seems to be no way to
stop these schemers in the old coun-
iries from flooding us with their gold
and sweeping away the underpinning
OF the Chicago and other free-coinage
platforms.

The free silverites last year made
sundry bold statements about con-
tracted currency; that there was not
enough money in the country with
which to do business, and that the
only way out of it was by the adop-
ton of the free-and-unlimited- coinage
scheme. This would fix things up
all right, but unless adopted, many
terrible things may happen; wheat
would drop to rs cents bushel, mort
cages. would be foreclosed, men could
find no employment, and general
gloom would settle over the country,
such as had never been seen before.
1t will be remembered, however, that
the free coinage proposition was not
adopted by the voters Of the country,
and yet in spite OF this fact the circu-
lation of the country within year
has increased nearly $Ioo, 600 600,
wheat has gone up to the dollar mark,
mortgages are being rapidly paid off,
men are employed everywhere, and
the only gloom observable in the
country comes from the factory smoke.

1t is poor taste and bad politics for
the Democrats and Democratic news
papers to point at the deficit of some
thing over three million dollars for
the second month Of the Dingley law,
when the second month of the Wilson
law, as everybody knows, ran up a
deficit of thirteen and half million,
or about four times as much, notwith-
standing the fact that the conditions
at the time Of the enactment of that
low tariff measure were most favora-
BILE to it, while the reverse is the case
with the Dingley law. According to
the Treasury officials, the Dingley
law will be making expenses before

Governor Bushnell and Senators
Hanna and Foraker are all pulling in
the same boat, and are pulling to win.

advanced by the Democrats some days
ago that Senator Foraker had cancel

continuing to make themselves scarce
in those States where the State chair
men consider that the Democratic
ticket has any chance Of making
successful fight. Mr.. Bryan, tor in
stance, was going to speak from every
stump in Ohio. but he suddenly
changed his mind and told some of
his friends in the East that he never
interfered in State campaigns, deem
ing that the State people knew better
than he what they wanted, aud that
he should not speak in Ohio. Now,
Mr.. Towne didn't hold just those
views, and he proceeded to cry silver
from the housetops in Ohio, until
Colonel Allan o Myers, the self-consti-
tuted manager for Ohio, sent out
corporal's guard and escorted him
out of the State.

The silver trust is preparing to at

Cured to the members of the trust
that the cause in the tall in the price
of silver is due largely to the fact OF
cheapness in transportation Of silver
ore. A ton Of ore contains five or six
dollars worth of silver, and it is APP
parent that transportation cuts an i'm
portant figure in the price Of the white
metal. It is therefore evident that
the rapid opening up of railroad lines
has had much to do with the fall Of
the money Of the Constitution.

Something About the Exhibition to
lie Given NcNt Summer.

BE Given Next Summer.
The year 1891 VIII be noteworthy in

Two great occurrence viii hen direct
the eyes of the whole north toward
Stockholm-namely, the great Scandi-
navian-Russian exhibition and the %
years jubilee of King Oscar. II Stock
hoim's Bots de Bologne, quite near this
wondroUsly beautiful city, are the eX-
bibition grounds, on 4 narrow point Of
land, on both sides surrounded by the
blue waters OF the Baltic and extending
toward the newest and most elegant
Part of Stockholm. At first only an
exclusively Scandinavian exhibition
was intended. but as Russia and the
archduchy of Finland have now official
~ announced their intention to par
take both in the art Industrial and the
national industrial sections the eNhi-
bition has assumed the character of an
exhibition of nearly the whole of the
north.
Thus in the great industrial hall the
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Rus
sian exhibitors Will be seen side By side.
This hall, which has Il floor surface
of 10000 square meters, is the greatest
wooden building that has ever been con-
structed. Its great cupola rises to 4
height of about 100 meters and is sur
rounded by four minarets, containing
prospect bridges, from which a fine
view is to be had of the exhibition

with their siTuous bays and inlets and
wood-covered islets. Another of the
principal buildings of the exhibition is
the Northern museum, with its pro-
viSional addition, destined for the cul-
tural exhibit. On the shore of Dur
gardsbrunnsviken, with more than the
half of it built out over the water, lies
the Swedish and Danish fishery hall,
n most original building, designed by
Eugen Thorburn. Norway. with its
| enormous fisheries. will build its own
fishery hall. Great viaducts lead to the
other parts of the exhibition grounds.
Here another view opens before the
eyes of the visitor, the beautiful pano-
rama of S~tockholm's famous harbor
and its charming environs.
The principal buildings of this sec
ton of the grounds are the machinery
hall, a giant building of iron and glass,
having a floor surface of 10000 square
meters, and the great art hall. The art
exhibit will be the clou of the exhibit
ton. Owing to the interest shown for
this exhibition by its president. the
eminent artist, his royal highness
Prince Eugcn, the youngest son of King
Oscar, this exhibit will be international
and contain works by most of the IA

PROVIDES NO ADDITIONAL REVENUE
The measure does not purport to be a measure
for increasing the revenue of the state. 1t taxes
nothing that is not already taxable by Law. It
provides no additional revenue for the treasury
and it metes out no new punishment to wrong
doors. 1t is undoubtedly desirable to accom-

intention of the author OF the bill to accom-
plish them, but the fact remains that the bill

Gov. Atkinson Will Veto the Bill
Passed by the Legislature.
The future OF football in Georgia, which
a few weeks since seemed so gloomy. has
been frightened by the news that Gov.
Atkinson will veto the anti-football bill,
which threatened 20 permanently abolish
the game. After the death of young
Richard V. Cannon, as a result of injuries
received In a game in Atlanta, there was
a demand for its abolition by law. So
widespread and unanimous was this move
ment that the legislature passed q bill
looking to a practical extinction of the
sport.
But just at this juncture an unexpected
ally Of the game arose in the person Of Mrs.
Cannon, mother Of the dead player. She
went to the governor and begged him to
yeto the measure, saying that football was
a game to which her son had been passion
ately devoted and that his accidental
death should not be the means of depriving
his fellow students of the right of engag-
ing In the game.
Actuated by these reasons and personal
motives, the governor has taken his pres
ent course. With the veto he will submit
q statement giving his reasons for passing
