Savings Bank Deposits
In the United Kingdom, the average
amount of money to the credit OF eacn
depOsitor in the savings banks ID
sI03. In the United States 1t Is S5!o,
over $50 per cent more than in Inc
British country.
The Difference.
Do not forget the following figures,
aud expenditures:
Excess OF Receipts, Harrison's terri o
.... 1854, $40, 1856.
Excess oi EXpe pditures, CleVeiano
term 1856. 1864, 1s5
Imports Of-NoeI.
Nearly 351 900, 600 pounds of foreign
wool were imported into the United
States during the fiscal year ending
June 3. 1897, just before the DlnRley
tariff became law. Last year tnere
for eipn wool imported, a difference OF
pa, OOO, 600 pounds under protection.
The Price Of Sheep.
Farmers should remember that
she ep in Ohio were worth just W
head more on the first day OF this year
than they were worth On the 1st day OF
January, 1895. The ipcrea-e in the
value of sheep under this republican
administration was about the came In
all the states of the country.
Value OF Cows.
The value of every COW on the farm
Gu the first day of this year was S3l TO.
But on the LIST day of January, 1884, IN
Ger democratic ADMINISTERS tion, each
cow was worth only SILT Farmers
aDprLC.at4 the increase OF $40 In the
value o. each of their cows, and Will
vote to rnaintsin the republican ad-
mini trsbiOn in power.
Free Trade Fallacy
IF we do not buy VIC, Can not sell,
toe democrat used to say. When we
were buying European goods under
their free-trs6e tariff in 1895, we ex-
ported only s23. 600. 900 worth more of
our goods than we bought from for
sigE GERS. During the last two years
We have averaged sales amounting to
over $500, DOC, GOO more than We bought
Cotton and Politics.
In 1894. during democratic adm inis-
tratiou, the cotton mills OF the United
STATES consumed only Is per cent OF
the entire average cotton crops. Last
yeAr they used over p per cent, and |
lhis year they will use about one,tnlrd
of the whole crop; more than twice &c
much a. in 1894. Workers in the Get
ton mill should not forget that repub- |
ltcan administration means double the
quantity of work and higher wages |
besides.
Revenue Surplus
Approxim ateexpanditures on account
of our war with Spain, during the years
1898 to 1900 inclusive, amounted to
1872, 00O, 900. Taking this sum out Of
the total expenditures during that
period, the surplus of revenue during
the first thres years of President Nc
Kinlsy's term would have been over
s3l7 600, 900.
The Balance of Trade.
Democrats used to cay that Europe
would not buy American goods 1t we
barred out European goods by protec-
tive tariff. In the 1895 fiscal year, und err
,ho Wilson bill, Europe bought from
US to the extent of 1864. 600, GOO. Last
year, under the Dingley protective
tariff. Europe ans purchases amounted
to $685., Goo, COO. TIE balar ce to the
credits of the prote tariff was
1920, G00, 600 last year in our trade with
Europe alone.
Farmers and American Shipping
Western grain rsisers are beginning
to understand tha the passage OF the
shipping bill will add SO many new
American ships to the foreign carrying
trade as to reduce the rates of ocean
transportation and thus give them 8
larger portion of the Liverpool price
of their products. They will there fore
look askance at the democratic nstio-
nal platform.
Republican Economy
While all the appropriations made
during the last session OF congress were
S24, 600. 900 larger than in 1900, 1t should
be remembered that nine millions will
be expended in taking the census and
upwards of seventeen millions will be
used fer improving the postal service,
while another seven millions will be
spent In Increasing our navy. In 9th or
directions there has been and actual
decrease in the appropriations.
The South and Expansion.
The cotton planters of the South are
begin ningto realize that their entire
dependence upon foreign shipping for
the foreign marketing of their crops
Keeps uD the price of ocean transporta-
tion. They will be likely to shy at the
democratic national platform, there
fore, with no abetter plan to offer for
the rehabilitation OF the American mer-
chant marine than the free American
registry of foreign built ships-s pro-
position already discredised and dis-
carded by the more progressive demo-
Gratis in congress.
