What's the Matter with s;o,d?"


We have coined about 500, OOO, 600 Of
silver. We have now over $500, OOO, 600
OF gold. Silver will sell for the cost Of
production at the mines, and it is being
mined now profitably in many mines. Free
coinage at 1G to / would deprive us Of our
gold currency and bring the country to a
silver basis, while all the nations we need
deal with pay is gold. The hard times
Just vanishing were not caused by any
legislation regarding currency, as other
people have claimed. The farmers bring
the money from abroad into this country;
we get pay for grains, meats, dairy pro-
ducts, etc., in gold. Some people advise
us to insist on getting our pay in silver.

British Exports ON tho Decrease

British Exports on b Decrease.
The returns issued by the London
Board Of Trade show that during the
month OF October there was a decrease
of $7,OOO,OO 0 in the value of British ex-
ports, and also a decrease OF 100000 in
the value Of imports. The decline was
chiefly in yarns and textiles. The decrease
in the exports Of machinery was nearly
$2,5OO,0OO, owing to the strike of the en-
gineers. The shipments Of tin plates to
the United States continue to decrease,
and the whea. shipments from America
to increase. The total decrease in the
value of exports for ten months of 1897
is $3O,OOO,0OO, as compared with the cor
responding period last year.
The successful competition Of the Unit
ed States, Germany, Belgium and other
countries blessed by protection has had far
more to do with the decrease in British
exports of machinery than has the strike
OF the engineers. To the same cause is
due the decrease OF $3O,OOO,OOO In the
general line Of British exports in the first
ten months of 1897. OF all the nations Of
Europe Great Britain is the only one left
that clings to free trade, and she is losing
her prestige in manufactures at a ruin
u rate.-American Economist.

Exports Outstrip Population.

The last twenty years the population of

600 to 100000 souls-an increase Of So
per cent-and ut the same time the value
Of exports has risen 175 per cent-that is,
three times Is fast as the population. The
same eminent authority declares that
1.-The quantities of food yearly exported
are sufficient to feed 100000 persons
in Europe, from which it appears that
American farms raise food for 100000
600 OF people yearly" With a productive
capacity so vastly in excess Of the d e
mands Of the home market it is evident
that foreign markets must be opened for

Secretary Wilson Is constantly On the
lookout for ways and means t benefit the
farmers Of the United States. The report
OF his department IL of unusual impor-
lance this year, because it treats of the
efforts to stimulate the production Of
sugar beets. Secretary Wilson IL an en-
thusiast on this subject. He predicts that
In ten years the United States will be an
exporter of sugar, instead Of the largest
importer in the world.
The capacity Of the United States for
the production Of beet sugar is practically
unlimited; and with the object Of ascer-
tanning the most favorable localities for
its growth, Secretary Wilson distributed
seven tons Of imported sugar beet seeds
among 22,OOO farmers in twenty-seyen
States, with the understanding that they
the department for the purpose Of analy-
sis and a statement explaining the condi-
tons under which each sample was pro-
duced, and the method Of culture.
The Secretary expresses himself as
deeply grati6ed by the returns. The most
favorable results have been obtained from
those sections OF the United States where
new industries yer demanded for the
farmer and where the manufacture Of
beets into sugar can be accomplished with
the greatest economy Al to labor and
transportation. The experiments in west
ern Nebraska, Utah and California which
have been going on for some years have
demonstrated the ~practicabiity of beet
culture in those sections. but the samples
OF this years crop which have been for
wnrded to the department at Washington
and the experiment stations elsewhere
show that the soil and climate Of Ohio
and other Central States are even better
adapted for this sort of crop than those
OF the far West. 1t il on the result Of
these tests that Secretary Wilson bases
his prediction that in ten years this
try will have suger to sell.-Akron (O.)

Of that article which was imported before
the new law went into effect. 1t is esti-
mated that the evenue from the duty on
sugar when the present stock is exhaust
ed will average S., 1000 a month, which
Of itself will be sufficient to bring the
revenue up to a sum equal to the ordinary
expenditures. With the increase which
will come from other articles, such as
wool, wooden goods and other manufac-
lures with which the country had been
filled, it is now perfectly apparent n a
the revenue produced under this law will
be ample to not only cover all the ex-
pcnses of the Government, but replace the
losses under the Wilson law.
