ARA\DO\S 16TOf.

Judge Nicholas L. WOrthington, Of
Peoria. formerly representative In Con-
gress from the Peoria district and nov
serving on the appellate bench, has aban-
doned free coinage at the ratio OF Is TO
l. that is TO say has abandoned the fixed
ratio Judge Worthington. so 1t is said,
helped 10 frame the Chicago platform e.
1896 and was an ardent supporter Of its
financial plank. lie has recently written
a letter in which he says that thousands
of Democrats who doubted the wisdom
Of the lG to declaration voted FOR Bryan
rather than surrender their allegiance,
and then adds that 'many true friends
of silver now believe that if ever we are
again TO have the benefits of the free coin
age Of both metals, such coinage must be
upon no fixed ratio. but must be upon the
commercial value of gold and silver bull
lion when rendered at the mint" He
says further that he believes that such
a policy would tend to bridge the differ
encc between the 1G TO 1 ratio and the
commercial ratio"
And so Judge Worthington has read
himself out OF the Bryan party. II was
not the free coinage of silver that sound
money Democrats fought In 1896 but the
free coinage of silver at the arbitrary.
fixed ratio of 16 TO !, regardless OF the
relative commercial value of the two
metals To abandon the Is TO 1 ratio anu
to alter the commercial ratio is TO aban-
don all that Mr.. Bryan has contended
for and TO retire him from the leadership
of the party.
The Bryanites have all along contended
that although the commercial ratio be
tween silver and gold is that of 80 to ].
If silver were admitted TO the mint on
the same footing with gold, there would
be an enhancement in the value OF silver
and a corresponding depression ~ the
value of gold until they should meet al
the 16 10 / ratio. But it is a notable fact
that they have never. shown the courage
Of their convictions. II their contention
be true. why insist upon the fixed ratio?
why attempt to establish by :he law of
the land what they claim would soon es-
tablish itself by a natural law If trade?
The fact is that the Organizes desire a
cheap silver dollar. They do not want
bimetallsm. unless bimetallism bring a
flood Of cheap money.

their work the body was torn to pieces
the heart was cut out and bits of charred

It Is said that Judge Brawey, Of South

OUR IMMENSE WEALTH

Statistics are proverbially dry, but the
people Of the United states ought not TO
find it dull reading when they indicate
an enormous increase in the wealth of
the country The Department in WASH
ington has just sent out its report on the
export and import trade for the fiscal
year OF 1895 showing that this was the
banner year Of our foreign trade, our
exports being the largest by far ever re-
corded for a like period, and our imports
smaller in proportion. The grand total
Of our domestic exports for that period
reached the enormous sum of Sl2l0 1913.

fiscal year. which was itself d record
breaker. by Sl,s 2SlGo. The imports for
the same period were 500 .0i9 65i In value.
being the smallest since 1855. and de-
cline of $liS6sO.75S from the imports Of
1897. Thus It viii be seen that for every
dollars worth Of foreign merchandise
brought into the United states during the
fiscal year of ls9S. two dollars worth OF
our products were sold IN the foreign
markets. The excess of exports over i'm
ports amounted to S59i2l2 80 being more
than twice the excess for the nscal year
Of 1897.
The value OF agricultural exports was
SNS.501.oi2. being more than 70 per cent.
Of the total and a gain of nearly p per-
cent over 1884, on the other hand our
purchase Of foreign agricultural products
amounted to only S3ll.29l. 100. a decrease
Of $s6.51gC72 as compared with the i'm
ports OF 1884, or about p per cent These
imports consisted In the main Of coffee.
tea. sugar hides and skins. silk. wool.
leaf tobacco and wine. This indicates
that we are producing in this country
practically everything that We consume
at cur tables except coffee, tea and sugar,
and that We are purchasing an supplies
except these articles from American
farmers. We not only supply our own
needs in the way Of wheat. wheat flour
