EDITORIAL COr1MENT.

There is no report yet from those
silver statesmen who went to Jap
an last summer to try to find ma
terial to prove that that country
acted unwisely in adopting the gold
standard. Perhaps they are hold
ing back their valuable informa-
ton until the campaign of 1900.
February receipts under the
Dingley law have thus far averag-
ed million dollars a day, and as
the expenditures of the Govern
ment only average about that sum
during the year, there is good rea
son to expect that the Treasury
will soon begin to grow a surplus.
SOund-money men, whatever
their past party affiliations, will
cordially cooperate this fall in the
nomination and election Of men
Of their views ON the currencyques-
ton. This is made absolutely ne
cessary by the fact that the Popu-
lists, Silveritcs, and Democrats
are preparing to cooperate in the
coming campaign for Members of
Congress.
More than a dozen countries en-
tered solemn protest at Washing
ton during the discussion of the
Dingley bill against the enactment
Of that measure, intimating broad
ly that if its protective duties were
adopted it would compel action by
those countries which would be to
the disadvantage of our exporta-
tons to them. That this was mere
empty threat is shown by develop
ments since that time. The Ding
ley law was enacted without refer
ence to the protests in question
and it now develops that these
countries have bought more from
Us since the enactment Of the Ding
Icy law than they did in the cor
responding months of the preced-
ing year under the Wilson law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1898.
Some of Mr.. Bryan's Democrat
iC friends and associates who have
had practical business experience
in Mexico do not agree with the
glowing picture which he brought
back from that country, nor do they
agree with his theory that the free
coinage of silver is responsible for
whatever Of apparent or real pros
perity exists there. Ex-Congress-
man McShane, who formerly repre-
sented the Omaha, Nebraska, dis
trict in Congress, but who now has
large mining interests in Mexico
and spends much of his time there,
says that his friend Mr.. Bryan is
entirely mistaken in the conclusion
at which he arrives. Considering
the fact that Mr.. McShane is a
Democrat, a fellow Nebraskan with
Mr.. Bryan, and has had practical
business experience in Mexico for
about as many years as Mr.. Bryan
spent days there in his recent trip,
his conclusions concerning matters
SO elaborately discussed by Mr..
Bryan on his return from the land
