TROUBLE FOR M'KINLEY.
Some Knotty Points in the Wilson Law
 for Him to Handle.

Some Knotty Points in the Wilson Law
 for Him to Handle.
 Maj. Mckinley will have trouble in finding data upon which to base his message calling an extra session of con gress to tinker with the tariff.
 According to the majors favorite theory in political economy, the source of prosperity is the home market and ports of foreign goods.
 When the jor comes to look at the figures he will find that under the Will son law there is a steady decline in inn ports. Low as the import record of last year was, it is going lower at a rapid rate this year. At the port of New York the imports for this month have been falling under those of the same period last year at the rate of about $4 ,000,00 a week.
 On the other hand, the major will find that while the imports have been dimin- ishing the exports have been increasing. The foreign trade of the country in creased last year millions of dollars. If these facts mean anything beyond
 
 mean that prohibition of foreign goods and the consequent heavy taxation of the people to fill the pockets of the fa- vored few are not needed to keep the home market for American manufac- turers; that under freer trade the Amer ican manufacturers can retain the home market and capture the foreign mar kets.
 If the major urges higher tariff taxes for revenue purposes, the decreasing revenues of his own law will damn his argument. The fact is. he is practical ly reduced to the plain statement that we ought to have higher taxes because Hanna promised them to the pa triots" who lent their purses to the re- publican party.-St. Louis Republic.

FOR DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.
Leading Feature of the Platform for
 1900.

The accomplishment of the full and complete restoration of silver to it's time7honored place as money, side by side with gold, is the fixed purpose of the democratic party. This will be the leading feature of the platform of 1900 as it was for 1896. Our opponents will talk of international agreement for bimetallism, and international confer ences may be held, but the real pur- pose of all such expedients will be to deceive the people and gain time to more securely fasten upon them the clutch of the gold standard. The dem- ocratc shibboleth will be independent action for bilnetallsm on the part of America, spurning to be the follower and tool of Great Britain or any other foreign nation.
 The object and purpose of the cam paign which began right where it left off in November, 1896, and will con- tinue until November, 1900, may be epitomized in these words: The re- peal of all laws by which silver has been demonetized and its use as money abridged, the prohibition of all dis criminations by the government or any of it's officers against either gold or silver, and the admission of both met als to the right of free and unlimited coinage at our hints at the ratio of sixteen to one, with full power for all the money thus coined as legal tender for all public dues and in all transac- tions of the citizen.
 This will not be debasement or re- pudiation, as the gold standard advo- cates exclaim. It will simply put a stop to the money power scheme of continued contraction, and, as democ- Iacy believes, will provide for a healthy enlargement of the volume of money on q sound basis.-Illinois State Register

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

A curious public would be glad to know what Mr. Platt's programme will be in case the major cuts up rough. -Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.
 The best evidence that Senator Sherman's mind is weakening is his persistent pleading for the appoint ment of Mark Hanna to the senate.- St. Louis Republic.
 Gen. Alger says that the old dis agreement between hiIa and Senator Sherman has entirely died out Noth- ing has been heard from Senator Sher- man yet.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
 The textile industry appear. to have done pretty well during 1896, in spite of all unfayorable conditions. There were POT new mills constructed. against 19s in the preceding year.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.).
 After their liberal contributions to the campaign which they supposed bad brought victory to them, the trusts must be rather astonished at the feeling that has been developed against them since election.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
 The presence of Gen. Alger and John Sherman in McKinley's cabinet will be a graceful recognition of their skill and daring in the bribery of negro delegates. It will also be a reminder of the many nice things they have no. said about each other-Ka1sas City Times.
 The mutterings of revolt which come from Washington against the sway of Speaker Reed were to be ex- pected. It is inevitable that if an ar bitrary control of deliberative body is put into the hands of any man the people who do not get what tpey want will be discontented. The fact is. as every student of the house knows. that it has long since ceased to be body for free debate.-Pittsburga D.spatsh.

SHERMAN AS PREMIER.
The Selection of the Ohioan Regaroed As
 Blunder.

a Biunder.
 1t is a source of wonder to many that Mir. Sherman can be regarded as safe man in an important government posi- tion. The views of these persons are mirrored in a reference to the senator's record by the Indianapolis Sentinel, which exslaims at the appointment, and says: "He (Sherman) has tangled up the financial system of the country to such an extent that no living man thus far has disentangled it. Give him time and opportunity as secretary of state and he will leave to his successors such a mess of nnbroglios with foreign coun- tries that Talleyrand would fail to solve and settle. How the willy old Buckeye succeeds in 'fooling' so many people pretty much all the time is be- yond our ken"
 There is some reason in this view of Senator Sherman's case. He was un- doubtedly an important factor in the creation of the financial legislation un- der which the government now trans acts business and which is admitted on all sides to embody an unsafe and alto gether objectionable system. The trouble in which the country was plunged nearly fouY years ago, and from which it has not begun to recover, is traced to the existing financial laws, in the making of which Mr. Sherman's 8 influence was a potent influence. In view of this, it is not to be wondered at that the proposal to make the Ohio sen- ator secretary of state is the cause of some apprehension throughout the country. He seems to be a man whose opinions waver, and it is never a diffi- cult matter to quote him in favor of all sides of any of those stable public questions that are of permanent inter- est and importance. We have had Mir. Sherman for and against protective tariff; for and against the maintenance of single gold standard, and, as a mat ter of fact, he is widely looked upon as a statesman with a tendency to vacil- late. Whether or not such man is fitted for the post of secretary of state in the present critical condition of in- ternational affairs is a question that is reasonably open to discussion, and there is nothing singular in the exist. ence of widespread conviction that his appointment to that post will amount to a mistake if not serious blunder.- Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.

The Wary Manufacturer.

1t is gratifying to observe that the manufacturers see the futility and un- popularity of an attempt to secure for themselves high tariff duties at the spe- cial session of congress which it is un- derstood is to be called soon after Presi- dent Mckinley's inauguration. At the session of the National Association of Manufacturers in Philadelphia the following were the resolutions adopted bearing upon the subject of the tariff: That the rates of duty should be made as low as possible, consistent with adequate protection" If the manu- facturers who go before congress ad- here to this policy the country w1l have to be grateful. and will be saved much agitation and the reaction that necessarily must follow any attempt to restore the high schedules of the tar iR act of 1S90.-Chicago Record Ind.).

With one hand the republica,

With one hand the republican party is holding out it's hat for in- creased revenue to cover a treasury deficit and with the other it is making huge additions to the appropriation bills. Its theory seems to be that wild extravagance and high taxation are the true remedies of deficit in the revenue of the treasury.-Atlanta Constitution.
The Forrest City times., 1897-02-19

Now comes the story that Gov. Dingley, cf Maine, may reconsider and consent to 20 into the cabinet after all. He may not get the chance It was said that he declined in the first place, because he was not sure but Hanna would be in the cabinet. The new re- publican national boss is not noted for torgiving such things.-Albany Argus.

FREE SILVER IN NEW YORK.
A CONFERENCE OF THE WHITE
METALS FRIENDS.
World Says it Was One of the Most
Important Ever Held Since the
Last Presidential Election.

New York, July 9.-The World says:
The most important conference of the
free silver Democrats of this state held
since the last presidential election has
just occurred in this city. Nearly every
county in the state was represented.
Although no positive action was taken.
the general sentiment of the gathering
was in favor of holding a state conven-
ton to reaffirm the Chicago platform
and nominate a supporter of Bryan for
chief judge of The court of appeals in
case the regular Democratic state con-
vention should select a gold standard
Democrat for the place and ignore the
principles enunciated by the national
convention. There were some differ
ences of opinion among those present
regarding the advisability of boiling
the nominee of the state committee af-
ter the committee should refuse TO re-
affirm the Chicago platform.
There was, however. a unanimity OF
sentiment in favor of petitioning the
committee. through clubs, etc. TO nom
mate a Bryan man for judge. The
silverites appeared to mean business.
Former Congressman Rockwell took
prominent part in the conference. Jay
w. Forest of Albany said that since
the last presidential election a free
silver club had been formed in every
election district in Albany district He
also said the free silver Democrats of
his county would probably favor the
holding of a state convention If the
state committee should nominate
sound money Democrat for judge of
the court of appeals and ignore the
issues involved in the last national
camDaion.
