The temperance people can fee
gratified that they are gaining
ground steadily if slowly. Rev,
j. c. jackson; who has made it {
study, said IN ST. Paul last week
|'The nation was nearly drunk
on whiskey in 1860, 1T partook Of
wine until it bordered on tipsiness
in 1883, and in 1898 it reached the
extreme limi, Of beer consump-
ton per capita.
"These three dates" he said, in
substance, represent the turning
point for the better and tell of the
influence the work of temperance
has had in: decreasing the sale cf
intoxicants. While the total
amount consumed had been in
creased steadily, tho per capita
consumption has fallen off at a
gratifying rate, and the past few
years have shown a marvellous ad-
vancement in that dir @ ion.
Il ''North Dakota has taken a long
step in the right direction, and
has not once wavered from the
course she took. Kansas is on
the right side of the line, and
Maine stands steadfast in the pro-
hibition ranks. New Hampshire
is beginning to fall into line.
Ohio is on the right, and Illinois
has more prohibition towns today
than ever before. The Nicholson
law in Indinna has operated to
curb the privileges of saloons,
and has had the effect of decreas-
ing the amount Of intoxicants sold.
minnesota has ( cen under Or
ganization less than year, but
has .shown excellent develop
ment in that line. More than
sixty towns have set their seal Of
disapproval on open saloons. In
the Legislature some excellent
work has been done under the d.

For the, first time in history
the export trade of the United
Staes, in 1898, exceeded that OF
Great Britain. In other words
the nation which is the great OK"
ponent of Protective Tariff pol.
icy, exported more goods thon diI
the nation which is the exe,nplar
of Free Trade. How do the Free
Traders square these facts with
their oft repeated theory that the
securing Of the home market to
the Americon producer through
Protection means the exclusion of
American tproducts from the
worlds markets? Perhaps as they
can't square; them, they will, as
usual, try to get around them.
We doubt if they will be success
full even in that. The theory
about the worlds market, like all
other Free Trade theories, goes
down before the facts. Through
the protective policy, which has
given American industries a fair
chance to get on their feet and
has enabled them at the same
time to pay good wages to Ameri-
can workmen, the cost of produc-
ton has been so lowered that
now we can, in many lines of in
dustry, add the worlds markets
to our own.-American Econo-
mist.

tration to fight successful war
amounts to only $5,800,98O. Yet
the amount of bonds issued by
the republicans by $685. 49, 600.
Mckinley sold 3 per cent. bonds
to the people; Cleveland sold Al
per cent. bonds to a syndicate Of
bankers. The total of our public
debt is mere bagatelle compared
with our wealth and resources.
The continuation of the republi-
can party in power, which would
mean continued prosperity, would
enable the government to to gay
it off in a few years.
