Changed condition of things in our
country is the fact that during the sew
en- months prior to February, last, our
exports Of gold coin and bullion de-
creased $50, SS5, 1873; this shows a strong
and healthy flow OF gold into this coun-
try under our present administration,
while under the Cleveland administra-
ton there was a tremendous and con.
tinuous outflow Of that precious metal.
Certainly this indicates a very desira-
lie and healthy condition Of our tor-
eign trade relations.
During the first year OF our republi-
can administration we have exported
nearly a million dollars worth Of ag-
ricultural implements more than du-
ring the last year of the previous dem
ocratic administration.
And American farmers, during the
first year Of this administration, have
sold to foreign countries over five mil
lion dollars worth of cattle, horses,
mules and other animals, more than
they sold during the last year of the
Cleveland administration.
FRIEND OF THE FARMER.
And in the first year OF this admin
istration u shipments OF bread stuffs
to foreign lands were greatly in excess
OF our shipments during the last year
OF the previous administration. The ex-
cess OF wheat was $40, 362, 0SS; of corn,
SIS, 1886, 242, and the total Of all bread
stuffs, In excess, amounted to 500, 729,-
$40. In fact, the increase of exports in
May, 1898, under the Dingley law, ex-
cceded our exports in May, 1897, under
the Wilson law, in the fabulous sum Of
$50, $40, 725. This record challenges and
record ever made by any administra-
ton in our country's history, and
proves 5ey6nd question the oft estn.p.
lished fact that the best friend the far.
! mers of this country ever had Is the re-
publican party.
1t was prophesied, prior to the last
presidential election, that the defeat OF
the republican party meant dollar
wheat for the American farmer: but
the republican party triumphed and as
a result wheat has brought more than
a dollar, at times; only a short time
ago In North D~akota-one OF the
greatest wheat producing countries In
the ~world-home wheat was selling on
the track at $1.41 per bushel, and one
day 1t went up to S1.63; indeed, 1t is
said that n farmer there who
thought he had no wheat left, scraped
up a wagon load Of screenings and
chicken feed never intended for mar
ket, and got an even hundred dollars
for the load. And Il Is Of record that
one former there, under this republi-
can administration, sold 10,O0O bushels
OF wheat for $4,000. Not 80 bad is It
Indeed, under this administration
wheat has become so high and silver SC
low that a bushel of one Is worth about
"a much as a bushel of the other.
But the remarkable prosperity is no,
due alone to the high price Of wheat
fer all farm products are high, while
groceries and clothing are as cheap as
ever; indeed, you can go almost any
where in the tailor shops of the large
cities and have made to order a suit OF
clothing, to order, good enough for any
man, at the remarkably low price OF
from So to $12.

REVENUE.


The protective tariff policy of the re-
publican party has been a policy under
which the American people have never
yet failed, by their own hard work, to
secure out of the of their
country a fair level of prosperity. a
reasonable dividend for their invest
ments. Under that policy there has
never been a lack of funds in our ma
tional treasury, nor has the govern
ment been embarrassed for funds at
any time. Under that policy our nation
al debt was steadily reduced.
At the close of the civil wal we had
an outstanding bonded Indebtedness OF
$780, 900 900 drawing interest, and I'M
der thirty-two years of protective tar
LIZ rule we paid 81, 800, 000, 900 in prin-
cipal, besides the interest, an average
at S64, 900 900 per annum, during that
prosperous period OF republicanism and
protection. Thus was the public credit
sustained and kept untarnished and the
public faith unimpugned. While the
fires were kept aglow in American fur
naces, the looms and spindles were all
busy, the mines and railways were act
i've and prosperous, and millions OF
American w~orkingmen and women
were thrifty and hal6y. But whenever
In u republics history, an attempt
has been made to drift away from the
policy OF protection, SOC our national
treasury becomes bankrupt, and on
every hand could be heard tho MUIR
murs of discomfort; while falling pric-
es, dust covered nsbsl and factories, ST.
lent looms and smokeless chimneys
prevailed everywhere. This was true
under the Wilson bill OF tho last ad-
ministration. 1t caused us to borrow
the enormous sum of $263, 900, 900 Civ
Ing the bonds Of this country, running
thirty years, which, when due. Will
cause us to pay the fabulous sum OF
SCOT, 600, 000-an Indebtedness one
fourth as great as the whole national
debt at the close Of the civil war. And
yet this was all brought about during
the piping times Of peace, when the
was drums beat no longer and the bat
tie flags were furled." 1

IT,. The same is true with reference to
cattle and hogs; today SO to 81 Der
hundred, cash, is being received for
those which, two years ago brought 81
per hundred, on thirty and sixty DAYS
time, In some localities. This improved
condition is not not confined to any
particular locality, but extends all over
the country.
In the first year of President McKin-
ley's administration the farmers Of
these United States received for their
wheat and other cereals $3.50, 900. 900
more than they received during the
last year Of the Cleveland administra-
ton; this Is $50, 200, 900 more than they
received in any year since 1892; even
the hay crop, which Ia the largest in
the history Of our country, brought an
decreased price; while during the first
increased price; while during the first
year of the Mckinley rule, the value
OF all farm animals has increased over
the former administration.

PAYING OFF MORTGAGES.
And during this first year of our re-
publican administration, in the midst
OF their wonderful prosperity, the far
mers have been paying OFF the morse .
cages which they were compelled to
place on their farms during the last
Cleveland administration; the farmers
OF Nebraska have paid Off more tan

Dakota more than $780, 00, go and in all
other Western states and territories at
the same rate. All bese, together
with new barns, new houses, new

Transfers ~ "a Foreign Concern and
Its Policy Holders Have Little
To Sho,v for Their Interests.

Another insurance company of this
city has wound up its affairs and trans
ferred It's policy holders to a foreign
surance Company, Of Washington, ex-
lists as a chartered organization, but
has ceased 10 do business.
1t was announced today that it had
gone into voluntary liquidation with
assets equal TO its liabilities. Policy
holders were compensated by the Of
fer Of a policy in the Old Wayne Mu-
tual Life Association Of indianapolis,
Ind. Some Of the policy holders ac-
cepted the policies and some of them
did not.
Mr.. f. T. Gilman. who was and is in
one sense still president of the liqui-
dated organization, admitted to a
Times reporter this afternoon that his
company had closed out its business.
Ii was because of the lack of business.
he said. The receipts had been falling
off for several years. and the associa-
uGn having received an offer from the
Old Wayne Company. the transfer was
made. The transfer he said. was vol
untary, and had been done by the men,
bers themselves.
the transfer took place Mr.. Gilman
was asked.
About 5.S00," he replied. A little Ia
ter he said that. the proposition for a
transfer had been sent To the policy
holders and less than 500 favorable
responses received.
OF COURSE" he explained. many Of
them desired to know something about
the Old Wayne Company and there
may have been one oTItwo persons who
objected to the new policies, but il was
not forced upon any one"
We'll, Mr.. Gilman. but you stated
that the National Capital Company
does not exist. Now what has a policy
holder to show for his money unless he
takes a policy in the Old Wayne Com
pany?" Mr.. Gilman then acknowledg-
ed that there would be nothing upon
which the beneficiary holder could re-
alize in case the policy holder died.

Cool Da ring,

notwithstanding the fact that all the
clothing houses are complaining OF the
state of trade, ii, FIiedlander has just
ma de a 100000 purchase, although fully
stocked previously.
He considered that the extraordinary
price at which he was enabled to effect the
purchase justifiedthe risk, and the amount
OF business lie has been doing since shows
him to be n shrewd business man.
The stock he bought was part of the
ba nkrupt estate of Smith Davis, OF
Wilmington, bel, and consists of all sorts
of Mems and Boys Suits, Pants and Over
Goa Is, and Mems Furnishings.
The price he paid was something lie IS tina n
zoe on the lollar, and the bargains he is
offering are so wonderful as to almost
pass compre tension.
OF course, there has been big rush
for the goods ever since he announced
this great purchase, and the corner of
Ninth and : has been a busy spot, but
the stock WIS so large that it will last
for some time yet.
These re some of the astonishing prices:

An information for the arrest of
Lawyer Edward f. Niles was made be-

Oliver G. Hack on Wednesday, charg-

Mr. Niles appeared before the prose

1t is understood that the trouble
which led TO the arrest of Mr.. Niles
grew out of the presentation of a

where Mr.. Hack is employed, by Miss
Kate Anderson. When the check was
presented at the bank. payment was
refused. and Mr.. Niles was then called
on by Mr. Hack, the result of which
