that state CT territory any cit-
 izen who 1eels that his interests
 have been injured is justified in mak-
 ing protest. The Republican for one
 does not intend to keep silent. IL is high time that the noG-progressive people who have worked such injury to Arizona should listen to plain talk. Analysis Of the election returns shows that Arizona has made it impossible for this congress to do anything for her. She has affronted the president, the sound money majority in both houses of congress and every man of the thousands iii the east who has shown honor to the gallant Rough Riders. She has, in short. disgraced herself, and the voters, republicans as well as democrats. who made it possi- ble for Wilson to be elected must be held responsible. The full extent of their asinine performance will be thoroughly impressed upon them be- fore The Republican gets through with them

of foreign balances AS experts are expanding and imports diminishing the amount due from abroad is certain to increase in the immediate future. All talk, therefore, about an insuf- ficieacy of gold is particularly absurd as applied to the United States. Not only is there more gold in this country now than is actually needed, but the drift of gold is from the old world to the new, with q great increase in the production of gold in sight in every gold producing country. With a scien- rif1c currency system, there will be still less need of gold for ordinary business transactions. and gold would come to be used chiefly for bank and treasury reserves and settlement of interna tioral balances. The main lesson which the great increase in the worlds yield of gold has for the United States is that conditions are ripe for the e3- tablishment of such q currency system. Nothing would do more to put an ef- fectiye eLd to the cheap money agita- tiOn.'

PASSING OF FREE TRADE.

Interest in the rapid decadence of .;he free trade idea has lately been aroused by the deaths, within a few hours O. each other, of David A. Wells Of the United States and Thomas Bay ley Potter of England. Bayley found- ed the Golden club, which for nearly half a century exerted a powerful in- fluerce upon economic though. on both sides of the Atlantic, while Wells was fer twenty years the ablest and foremost advocate Of the Golden idea in this country
 Twenty years ago ,he Golden club was the headquarters Of powerful propaganda whose leaders dreamed of Tevolutionizing the economic systems Of the world They and their sympa-
 thizers in ether count tries denounced protection IS a heresy and a menace to trade and industry They declared that the principle was unsound, that i. could rot endure and that the na- tion maintaining it would wi,her and decay. The free trade idea, as an ab- stract proposition, captivated the pop ular imagination; it won powerful following in every civilized country, and the Golden club became a po-srt factor in the economic affairs of the world.
 But from the zenith Of its power, which it reached in the seventies, the Ccbden propaganda has steadily de- clired. It's dogmas have been Tefuted by the facts of experience and progress. Europe has constantly advanced in the application of the protectionist prin- ciple, England and he- colonies lsading the procession, with France and Ger the movement in the same direction has been still more rapid. Industrial development at the south has destroyed the free trade influence in what were once it's strongest citadels. The west has repudiated it also, and as a politi- cal issue it is no longer held as a shib- boleth by the party which formsrly proclaimed it as the sum of human wis dom and justice.
 The world has marched beyond the doctrines of Cobden, Potter and Wells. The Golden club has dwindled to a shadow Of it's former greatness, and it's annual meeting last winter was at tended by fewer than a hundred mem bers. The passing of it's founder and Of it's ablest supporter in this country is merely a reminder Of a forgetful age that such an institrsion ever existed.

PLENTY OF GOLD.

The Republican has referred to the report of the director of the mint and quoted from it figures relative to the
 production or gold and silver which
 do not agree with the assertions of the Arizona frse silver leadsss who tried to line up" Arizona with the rest Of the country and dumped the territory into the ditch" We repro duce here an article from the New York Commercial Advertiser relative to that report which we hope the sil- verites will read carefully:
 Only part 0: the real state Of things is revealed by the recent report Of ;he director of the mint, showing that there. has been a vast increase in the worlds production Of gold in late that the worlds gold yield for 1887 amounted to s237 100000, three times the amour produced hftaen years SC, ard that for 1893 it is likely to reach S270, 1000 GOO, with the prospect of a still greater annual increase in the future. These figures are highly gratifying, but an important point that may be overlooked is that while the supply of gold is steadily increas- ing the demand for it for monetary purposes is certain to fail off for some years to come. Russia has about con- p-eted tha accumulation of a gold re- serve of $60G, ,000, eco in order to re- sumo gold payments; Austria Hungary is nearly ready to go upon a gold basis; the Bank Of France has he inn ense sum of S4G0,00) ),000 in gold in its

Practically every gre2t nation oa the globe, with perhaps the excep ton Of Japan, is now on the go q bass, -a tte,. there is 10 Likelihood of any extraordinary demand for the present for gold for monetary purposes All the additional gold that may be need ed fer such purposes can be readily supplied frcm the worlds aAual yield ,-u1tse Y c-o v-ttb the great pcwe"E 12-ey established C- t1o 9SiG J4s-s, the1e will be less de.aal'd tor he ye.-

The preparations Great Britain is making for war may be traced to one of two reasons-sither she is about to take a step which she believes some of the other powers will deem a cause for attacking her, or she believes some of the other powers are about to commit an act which will compel her to attack them. Under enc of thess two heads fall the stories that England is pre- taring to delare a pro5ectorate over Egypt, seize Delagoa Bay and take an aggressive sand in the far east, and that Russia and France intend to force the reopening of the entire Egyptian question or declare the partition Of China Of the same order is a state ment today that an attempt is to be made to put the Suez canalundsr a pro- tectcrate of all the great European powers. All such stories are plaus- ible, and yet there may be no truth in any that have yet beer put forth. The most that can be saf-ly affirmed at present is that Great britain is not arming for war without cause. What the nature of this cause is will prob ably be soon revealed.

The contention Of the United States that it should not assume what is largely Spain's own peninsula dsE. is logical, just and according to prece- dent The victor did not pay an in demnity to, but exacted one from the YanQuished, in addition to territory, after the wars Of the Crimea, Prussia with Austria and Denmark, Germany with France, Russia with Turkey, Japan with China, and Turkey with Greece. The United States takes a higher moral ground than was taken in any of these cases. It grants the va 1idity Of all municipal and other debts contracted in good faith for the better ment of Cuba and the Philippines, al- though it is clear that there would have been no such debts and nOeneed of any if fair share of local taxation had gone into the local t~easuries for local purposes, instead Of going to Madrid for peninsular purposes.

irp Irted = year ago.
An unusual number of visits were

Daily visits were made during the
absence of Superintendent Wilkins, at
his request.
Aside from the epidemic of infiu.
enza of mild character (no deaths re-
sulting from this disease,, and few
eases of pneumonia, there has been
freedom from acute infection and con.
tagion. Acute illness of any gravity
has been infrequent, death resulting
in but one instance from this cause.
AS usual, the greatest number by far
succoub to tuberculosis, more than IS
per cent. of the mortality of this year
were victims of this disease. This
great mortality from tuberculosis is the
rule among asylumns, and is not pecu-
liar to this institution. The great de.
bility and lessened power of resistance
explain their susceptibility to tuber-
cular infection. Their habit of expec.
torating everywhere, and the COM
mingling of the diseased with those yet
free from infection, are factors VIII ich
explain the great frequency of tuber-
culosis. The abs 'lute separation in
detached hospital, of the sick from the
well, would doubtless modify stats.
tics.
Ii is gratifying that no accidents of
serious character have occurr ed. An
unusual number of surgical cases,
nearly all of minor character, have re.
celved treatment. Such as were con-
sidered of sufficient interest or i'm
portaGce have been recorded in detail
