According to Detective McNally, the
record of Williams is a bad one. and
his version OF the AFFAIR differed very
materially from the story told by Will
-liams. Mr.. McNally says Connolly was
br~stally murdered. Williams had
fought with the saloon keeper and
then left the place. Before long Will
liams secured long knife or dagger
and returning TO the saloon called the
proprietor to the door. There without
warning he drove the blade into the
heart Of the man with whom he had
quarreled. Detective McNally also
states that this was not Williams first
murder, and he claims that the chief
OF police of Jacksonville also wants the
man for murder.
He was convicted OF the Florida
crime and sentenced. He worked with
the chain gang on the streets and es-
capped from there under a shotgun fire
from the guards. Further than that
Mr.. McNally says Williams proposed
the murder of a man in New York a
few months ago because of jealousy.
The woman To whom he suggested the
idea told the Jersey City police about
the plan. Mr. McNally does not hesi-
tate TO say that Williams is one of tho
worst men he knows, but he does not
think that he will be bad man much
longer.

Treat the Debtor Fairly.

Republican policy is unfair to the
debtor class. II requires the farmer, for
example, to pay about twice as much
now to his credit or as he promised,
twenty years ago, that he would pay.
Debts can be paid only out Of the pro-
ceeds of surplus property that Is sold
for that purpose. In 1870 we refunded
our national debt in bonds "redeemable
in coin Of the standard value Of July IA,
1870, and now Republicans say that
honor requires us to pay In coin that is
about twice as valuable as the coin Of
1870 was. Any rule which makes that
kind of payment imperative, will au-
thOrize and require that we who have to
pay the debt in gold which has increased
in value about hundred per cent since
the contract was made, shall receive for
our property, out Of the proceeds Of
which we expect to pay the debt, the
same prices that ruled on the day Of
the promise.
When the people come to look at this
matter as the President presents 1t,
surely they will repudiate his doctrine.
What is good for the bOndholder ought
to be equally good for the people who
have to pay. What honor requires in
one case it requires in the other.
Better abide by the contract, read the
spirit of the law in the letter, and coin
silver enough to help us out and even
things up. The public creditor is no
more entitled to have contracts changed
in his favor than the private debtor is.
Neither is SO entitled.

Increase Of LsbOr.s Output.

Invention has produced thousands Of
machines that perform labor which be-
fore had been done by hand. 1t has gone
far beyond that in putting machinery
where animal power had before been the
chief agency in communicating motion.
And still further: The oyershOt, the
breast and the futter wheel have gone
with other wrecks Of the past and steam
and electricity have taken the place OF
gravity and water.
But the field Of labor Is immeasurable
and much as men may feel the incOnve-
nience of being displaced by machinery,
the displacement will continue to the
end This is the natural order, as the
history of our own growth has amply
proved.
The number of hands employed in
manufacturing industries in 1850 was
957,059, increased to 4O5O,7S5 in 1890.
This shows growth of more than four
to one in forty years. The value OF the
work done increased In greater proper
ton, though the prices for the things
produced fell considerably in the mean
time The value of the output of the
manufacturing establishments Of the
country in 1850 was reported at $1,O19,-
1O6,616, made from materials that cost
$685., 1882. One dollars worth OF ma
terial was wrought into two dollars
worth Of useful articles. In 1890, our
factories turned more than nine times
as much in value as they did In 1850
though the number Of hands employed
in the work had only been Quadrupled
But wages paid for the work had in-
creased from $685. 6755, AGA, in 1850, to
81, ,799, ,671 ,492, in 1890.

Germany and American Produce.

Although Prince Bismarck, when he
was virtually at the head Of German
affairs, spoke well Of our protective tariff
policy and adopted it's principle features
in his home administration, his sue
cessOrs are not so much and so favorably
impressed with its practical effect on
their domestic interests.
German opposition to the introduction
of American products began with an at
tack on our pork. They said it was dis
eased. We made rigid inspection and
found that we sent abroad no unclean
meat. The next move was on our living
plants and fruits, the claim being that
these were infected with dangerous in
sects. And now they say our horses,
when they reach Germany, are diseased
with influenza, and are not fit to be
landed.
We have no reasonable ground for
complaint when the objections to our
things are well founded. We ourselves
have established quarantine lines against
diseased cattle, and our laws relating to
quarantine in cases Of immigrants are
stringent But after we have done our
part well and In good faith and when
as matter of fact, the home opposition to
our interference with their trade is the
real source of trouble, we have good
ground for complaint on our part.
Our Congress puts high duties on for
eign goods coming here, but we never
object to importations that pay the law
full tax. We hold all foreigners as our
equals after they have scaled the tariff
wall" and we think they ought to treat
us in like manner We don't object to
their tariff, but we do object to their
subterfuges.

If Good for One, Why Not Good for All9

The New York World, commenting on
the PRESIDENTS "unQuestioned and un-
assaiable" speech, asks: "If our silver
dollars are 'unQuestioned and unassail-
able why object to paying bonds with
them? Why object to coming more?
II our treasury notes (redeemable in
silver by the law creating them) are Of
the same high character, why change
them? If our greenbacks constitute an
ideal currency, why retire or lock them
up?"
These are pertinent questions. If our
silver and paper money is as good as
gold, and the President and his party
say they are, why are they not paid out
ON our national obligations? If our sill
YER dollars are as good as gold coin,
and the President and his party say they
are, why does not the Secretay of the
Treasury use them in redeeming the
greenbacks and In payment of interest
ON the public debt?
President Cleveland, once, when ad-
dressing Congress ON the necessity Of
selling bonds for gold, said there was a
comfortable surplus Of $63,000,0O0 In
the treasury, but it is not in gold and
therefore does not meet the difficulty"
He said we could get along for ourselves
with "such money as we have" but we
must have gold to accommodate those
gentlement in New York who were clam
oring for it in exchange for notes,
If "such money as we have" is good
enough for us, why is 1t not good enough
for everybody else within the United
States?

Spain and the United States.

The relations between the two coun-
tries grow more strained every day.
This Is apparent, and the people may be
prepared to hear of the overt act any
day. A we'll informed correspondent OF
the New York Sun, now resident at
Madrid, In late letter suggests that X
the Spanish people knew more about
Cuba and the Cubans about America and
the Americans, and II the American pe0-
pie knew more about the Spanish people,
then the dangerous crisis which seems
imminent between Spain and the United
States might be avoided and the fate OK
the unhappy island would cease to be q
reproach to civilization.
He says the inherent cruelty of the
Spanish temperament" Is not understood
by the people Of the United States, and
on the other hand, Spaniards think our
talk about the barbarOus treatment Of
Cubans by the Spanish soldiery Is by.
pocrisy But aside from these misitn-
derstandlngs, the correspondent thinks
war between the two nations Is imml-
nent He does not think either OF the
parties is trying to hasten the conflict,
but 1t appears to him to be In the natural,
order Of things He says the Spanish
people as a nation are gone too far to
ever recover; that they are rotten at the
core. "How to live without work seems
to be the problem which appeals most
strongly to the Spanish ingenuity and
tastes. Gambling Is the national
passion"
In addition to external troubles, there
are domestic difficulties that may break
out In violence at any appearance OF
foreign war clouds. There Is republi-
can party In Spain clamOring for re-
publican form Of government, and the
Carllsts want to restore an old dynasty.
Between these two factions at home, the
government has it's hands full without
the Cuban situation added. The Queen
Regent is a good woman, says the Suns
correspondent, and wise one, but her
power is limited The King Is child,
but twelve years of age and, OF course,
Is only in the way
1t is evident as 1t Is proper, that the
President of the United States will not
be the aggressor II 1t he possible TO
avoid 1t. The people, without regard to
party, will support him In whatever
measures he deems necessary to guard
and protect American interests In the
Gulf region. When the clash comes, II
come 1t must, Cuba will be seized at
once and after brief, but powerful dis
play of force, peaceful diplomacy will
do the rest.

Enormous Output of Agriculture.

The United States Of America leads
all the nations in every one of the chief
industries. Though we are but fairly
started in the export Of manufactured
artiCles-they having reached about one
third Of the total exports, we lead in
manufactures, for we supply our own
wants in nearly all lines besides sending
away $300,000,O00 worth. And so 1t is
with productions of the mines, and in
ternal trade. Our mines and our COM
merce-both are in excess Of the same
departments of industry in any other
country
But it is in agriculture that we make
our greatest and best showing. We not
only feed our own vast population and
waste as much as would keep 50,000,000
Chinese In full supply, but we now regu-
larly export from $600,000,O00 to $780,
100000 worth of farm products every
year. The latest report gives the enOr-
nous total of $1,O32, ,OO7 ,60S in the ag-
gTegate Of our merchandise exports for
the year 1897, of which nearly 81 per
cent. was from the farms, feeding pens
and daries. In figures our agricultural
exports for the year amounted to $685.
755, 5,193.
And that is not so per cent. of what
we will be able to do when all our farm
lands are brought into use and put up
to their maximum capacity for prOduc-
ton.

The Law Of Progress,

Men and women are instrume mentalities
operating in the evOlutions Of the social
organism. 1t is not irreVerent to say
that even the Great First Cause" can
not purify moral and intellectual condi-
tions and move the world ahead except
through the agency Of human beings,
and then not until they have been fitted
for the work to be done. We grow
weary waiting for the better conditions
hoped for and the time seems long drawn
out, until many Of us faint by the way
side and Course God and die" How sell
dom do we reflect that we ourselves
all Of us, or most Of us, must be leavened
by that which "leaveneth the whole
lump" before the better things can ap-
pear.
Mr.. Reed, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, expressed the thought
beautifully in an address recently de-
livered at Girard College, when he said
that whether the Overruling Providence
of which we talk so much and know so
little, has each of us in His kindly care
and keeping, We shall know better when
our minds have the broader scope which
Immortality will make possible. But
however men may dispute over indi-
vidual care, His care over the race as
a whole fills all the pages of human his
tory. No matter how harsh has
been the treatment of one man or of
thousands Of men, every great event or
series OF events has been for the good
OF the race"

Railroads as Disturbing Agencies.

In the fight going on against the rail-
way companies, men often overlook the
really good things done by these great
aggregations of capital and energy. The
railways OF the United States digburSe
more money than the government at
Washington. The aggregate expenses
for operation for the year 1896, which Ia
the hast reported by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was $772, 1885, ,O44.
This is what goes out to the people OF
our own country for work and prop
erty and does not include interest on
the bonded debt, which is about $780,
100000, nor what is paid out as divi-
dends-$S $50 ,OO0, 900 or $lOO,OOO,0OO more.
The annual expenditures Of the roads
is not less than a billion dollars.
An expert, commenting upon this vast
disbursement, has undertaken an analy-
sis, and he gives as the average annual
expense of the American railroads In
maintaining the condition Of their road
beds, SIS 900 900, besides $35,O00,0O0 for
the purchase Of rails, ties and sleepers,
and $15,OO0,000 for the construction Of
new bridges. The railroads OF the coun-
try spent last year for fences, Sign
boards, signals, and watch towers
$3,5O0,0 900 and for printing and advertis-
ing $8,500,0 900.
Railroad taxes amount to about $4O,-
OO0,O a year, and 1t is probable that
they pay out as much as $lO,OOOOOO q
year in lawyers fees, for their litigation
is an important item in their expense
account.
The railroads Of this country now eml-
ploy but little short of a million men;
the number, more than year ago. was
1896, ,62O. These men, like soldiers OF the
late war, are distributed all over the
country, and the money they receive
is scattered among merchants and
tradesmen In nearly every county.

When President Mckinley says that
the contract has nothing to do with our
obligations that are to be paid in the
future, he lays down rule that ought
to discredit his party and drive 1t from
power. He was discussing the doc
trine of bimetalllsts who hold that our
debts are payable according to the con-
tract which binds us to pay at all. For
example: On the 14th day Of July, 1870,
and during all the preceding years OF
our national history, the coin OF the
United States-the legal tender coin, the
debt-paying coin of the country, the coin
that was lawful tender in payment OF
debts to any account whatsoever" con-
sisted of coins Of certain denominations
made of silver and gold; that on the
said 14th day of July, 1870, such coins
were made OF metal nine-tenths fine, OF
25.8 grains of gold and 412R grains Of
silver to the dollar; the refundlng law
approved on that day provided expressly
that the bonds to be issued under its
provisions should be ''redeemable In
coin of the present standard value;" that
all the United States bonds issued since
that date. and all the bonds now out
standing, were issued under the pro-
visions of that law, and that all of them
expressly provide on their faces that
they are "redeemable in coin OF the
standard value Of July IA, 1870"
Bimetallists hold that the government
Is bound under that law and under none
other, and that silver coin or gold coin,
that were legal tender then, either or
both in any proportion, will pay the
bonds that have been issued under that
law, and pay them honestly. Bimetal-
lists hold, further that there was no res
ervation, nothing implied or understood,
with respect to the payment OF these
bonds, other or different from the plain
letter of the law which incurred the OBJ
legation and provided for it's settlement.
The spirit OF the law is to be found in
it's letter.
But the President says no: We will
not pay according to the contract, but in
the highest THAT Is, dearest) money Of
the world at the time Of payment" That
is a monstrOus doctrine. Why do not
the President and his advisers send out
an edict that farmers shall be paid $1.l5
busheI for their wheat and $125 apiece

the public. In one form or other, all
the unemployed labor Of the country Is
a charge on the people at large-the
neighborhood, community, county, city
or State. How much better 1t would be
to provide public employment for all
that cannot find work with private en-
plOyers.
In connection with legislation along
this line, laws In every State ought to
be enacted fixing days work at eight
or six hours, so that more persons might
be put on the work now to be done.
Then 1t ought to be made the rule to
have public work for all persons that
would, otherwise, have nothing to do
II would cost no more to furnish honor
able employment to the idle than 1t now
costs to force people to work at dis

Get Idle Labor Employed.

Our development in manufactures has
not been eQualled anywhere at any time,
and the improvement in the quality and
quantity of the work done and in wages
paid has been phenomenal. This
growth, however has been attended with
a plethora of labor which grows faster
than the work to be done, and there
lies the great trouble of the time. Labor
can be proftably employed only in vast
establishments where the muster rolls
contain names by the thousand. The
harvest Is ripe and the reapers multiply
far beyond the need OF employers. And
the evil will soon become serious I'M
less statesmen and economists turn their
attention toward a solution of the prob
lem it presents, which is, how to EN-
plOy all the workers on the work that
is to be done.
