IT is sorry plight our farmers and
meat growers would have been in had
the democratic party been given an
other lease Of four years control. They
closed the foreign markets for American
meats by repeating the reciprocity
features of the Mckinley law, but
thanks to the republican administra-
ton, through the joint efforts of the
department of agriculture, the depart
ment of state and the trainers of the
Dingley bill those markets will I'M
doubtedly be reopened. 1t was re-
publican secretary of agriculture under
President Harrison who, by shrewd
diplomacy and the aid Of the reciproc-
ity features of the Mckinley law, open
ed wide the doors of the foreign coun-
tries to American meats, and now that
they have been closed by the repeal of
the reciprocity features of the McKin-
ley law, the first work of the agricul-
tural department under the new repub-
lican administration is to reopen them.

THE workingman will not object to
paying fifty cents more for his suit of
clothes if his wages are increased fifty
times as much a month. The duty
upon the quantity of wool going into a
suit of clothes might add this sum
temporarily, but its cost to the man
who is given employment instead of
idleness, to those whose wages or hours
of labor are increased, and to those
whose farm products are given mar
ket, temporary addition to the cost OF
clothing will not be unwelcome in view
of the general improved conditions
which accompany.

THE Springfield Republican is sar-
castle because the trustees of Brown
university are going to arraign Presi-
dent Andrews for teaching the doctrine
of free silver in the institution over
which he presides. The trustees prob
ably think, and with some justice, that
a man who attempts to propagate that
doctrine is not precisely the person for
an instructor of youth, whatever may
be his virtues and abilities otherwise.

The Sober Second Thought

One by one the Democratic leaders
who were forced into the support of
Bryan last year on his fool platform Of
free silver are beginning to assert their
independence, and with it their honest
convictions. Horace Boies, ex-goyer-
nor of Iowa, who was candidate for
the presidential nomination before the
Chicago convention, and who supported
his successful competitor and his free
silver views with evident reluctance;
has broken away from his thralldom
and in a letter to Col. ID. M. Fox of
Des Moines he says:
For one, I do not believe it possible
to succeed upon platform that de-
mands the unqualified coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l with gold.
We have fought that battle, and we
can never fight it over under circum-
stances more favorable to ourselves.
If we hope to succeed we must abandon
this extreme demand"
Among the reasons he gives for be-
lieving free silver to be dead issue, he
says:
The voters buried it under the
belief that it meant silver monomeral-
ism, pure and simple, which would
increase instead of diminish the mis-
fortunes attributed to the single gold
standard. 1t matters not how we con-
vince the people that the gold standard
is wrong, unless we convince them that
what we offer in its place is better in
stead of worse.
The issue from the point of view of
the genuine bimetallist could not be
stated more clearly. Free silver means
the single standard. If a single
gold standard is bad, single silver
standard would carry with it all the
evils attributed to the single gold
standard and other evils immeasure-
ably worse. Shut up, as he thinks, to
choice of two evils, the genuine BIZ
metallist will choose the lesser of the
two.
But the truth is that the bimetallic
theory is based upon state of facts
which is fast passing away. 1t was as
sumeG that there was not enough gold
to go around as basis and standard
of the currencies Of the commercial
world. The enormous and increasing
production of gold in recent years has
much weakened the force of that
argument.
Moreover, bimetallism involves the
quantity theory Of money, which is
rapidly losing it's hold upon the students
of the currency question. Sensible men
are beginning to see that the quantity
of money has much less to do with its
efficiency as a circulating medium than
it's quality. The more thoughtful
people think about and study the
money question on its practical side
the less likely are they to be misled
again by the free silver delusion.-

THE substantial evidences that
prosperity is returning are not wanting
by any means, as our free silver friends
would have us believe. There is no
better evidence of it than in the fact
that the treasury department at Wash
ington within the last week has re-
eeived a considerable number of re-
quests for small notes in unusually
large quantities. This inquiry was
entirely unexpected and can have no
other significance than that improving
business conditions demand a greater
circulation of money. The United
States treasury makes good Their
mometer on business conditions.

LAST week was another one of i'm
provement in general trade conditions.
Dun's Review, which keeps closer
track of the general commercial trend
than any other publication in the
country had the following to say in its
issue of Saturday: /" There is no step
backward in business, although the
season of midsummer quiet is near.
Improvement continues, gradual and
prudently cautious as before, although
in many branches evident where no
signs Of it appeared few weeks ago.
Business men of the highest standing in
all parts of the country, having gradu-
ally perceived that the tide has begun
to rise, are regulating their contracts
and investments and their plans for the
future with confidence quite unknown
to them a short time ago. Great
changes before the adjournment of
congress are hardly to be expected,
but removal of uncertainty is with
reason expected to bring into operation
buying forces which have been re-
stricted for months. Meanwhile it is
encouraging that crop prospects still
grow brighter, that the industries meet
gradually increasing demand for
products, that labor questions which
had a threatening aspect have been
adjusted, and that the treasury main
tains its ample strength notwithstand-
ling some exports Of gold broughtabout
by premiums paid on behalf of foreign
governments.

ONE of the best evidences of the
growth of Kenosha Is the overcrowded
condition of its schools. All of the
schools, public, parochial and private,
are crowded. When the new high
school was built in 1891 there was room
TO spare. The high school room itself
had only about eighty members, and
last week at the close of the term there
were 155. In 1895 the schools became
so crowded that it was necessary to
build another building and the Frank
school was erected containing four
large rooms, and that is now more than
full, there being the past term 275
scholars enrolled. The rooms were so
crowded that the school board is COM
PEELED to build an addition of two rooms
to the Frank school this summer and
they expect to be forced to build an
other new building next summer
This speaks very we'll indeed for the
growth of Kenosha, especially when we
take into consideration the fact that
most of the parochial schools have
been enlarged within the last five
years. AS near as can be figured the
number of scholars in Kenosha has
doubled since 1890.

IF you want to help build up town
you don't have to have money to do it.
In fact, some people without money do
more toward building up town than
some of the richest men in the country.
Tell everybody what a nice town you
have, and what nice things you have
in your town and what nice people.
Talk up your town; don't run it down.
Don't croak. If you have occasion to
write out of town. incidentally mention
some pleasant thing in connection with
your town. If everybody will speak
and write something good about the
town, it will be sure to grow and
prosper.

AT last the advocates of the free and

AT last the advocates of the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver have
reached the state of openly and IN
blushingly announcing as their car
dinal principle the creation and en-
forcement Of a law which should permit
people to pay their debts with less than
one-half of what they received when
those debts were made. The platform
adopted by the free silver republi-
cans, y so called, who recently gathered
at Chicago, at the expense of the silver
mine owners, proposes to clothe both
metals with every attribute of full
money, " with the right of every debtor
to choose which coin shall be the basis
of payment" While this principle Of
paying debts in dollars worth less than
one half those received when the debt
was made has been covertlY part of
the plan of the silverites, they have
never had the assurance before to
openly and specifically declare it.

THE cold facts as to the cause of the
increase in expectations of manufac
tured goods from the United States
during the existence of the Wilson law
are beginning to come to the surface.
Even democratic papers are now ad-
hitting that this abnormal increase in
expectations is due to the fact that
manufacturers were either compelled to
sell their goods abroad at any price
they could get or close their establish
ments because Of the business depres-
sion at home and the fact that the
home market was filed with foreign
manufactures. The Memphis Scimitar
(democratic), discussing this subject,
says: There is every reason to at
tribute this rapid expansion of this
part of our export trade during the last
few years to the fact that the depres-
sion of the home market forced Amer
lean manufacturers to seek other and
foreign fields" The Boston Journal
also publishes letter from prominent
business man of that city, who says:
g There is not a shadow of doubt that
the large increase of exports has re-
suited from the ruinously low prices
which have prevailed, caused by stag
nation of business and resultant pow
erty of the people. This was brought
about by the practical working of a
tariff designed to favor free trade
