The great blunder made by Cleveland
and the Democratic party in 1893 was
in trying to maintain the gold standard
while throwing wide open the trade
doors of the American Union to for
eigners. The consequences asserted
themselves almost instantaneously. AS
the foreign goods poured into the coun-
try gold flowed out. and in short time
we were suffering all the ills which
manifest themselves whenever appre-
hensior concerning the sufficiency of
the supply of basic money exists.
This state of affairs continued until
after the election of Mckinley gave
the country assurance that the tariff
would be so adjusted that the wants
of the country would be satisfied with
the products Of American workshops.
The easing up was at once noticeable,
but the full effect of the benefit was
not experienced until exports largely
exceeded imports. Then a sense of se-
curity took the place of distrust, and
the people ceased to concern them
selves about the gold question. This
state of mind will continue SO long ms
the Republican party is true to its tra-
ditions and adheres steadfastly to pro-
lection, the great trade regulator AS
long as we impose our tariffs judicious-
~ we need not fear an adverse trade
balance, and while 1t is in our favor
there will always be plenty of gold in
the country TO meet all currency re-
quirements. Tie lesson of the situa-
ton ought to impress itself on our leg
islators. 1t is a very simple one. It
is: Stick TO protection and favorable
trade balances and the money question
will take care of itself.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Big Figures of Prosperity.

The manner in which the restored
prosperity Of mckinley and protec-
ton has touched the finances of the
American people is indicated by re
port just issued by Comptroller of the
Currency Dawes. In collecting the
data entering into his report nearly
ten thousand reports from banks We're
examined and compiled. The results
of the investigation indicate magni-
tude of banking resources, and a rate
of growth in number of deposit ac-
counts which is unparalleled in the
financial history of the world. 1t is
shown that in the past ten years de-
post accounts have increased in num-
Der from 6,7oS,971 in 1889 to 1868, S74
in 1890; that the increase in the num-
Der Of borrowers Is much less than the
increase in the number of depositors,
tina. the average deposit of the indiyid-
ual or corporation has greatly increas-
ed that the rate of interest on loans
he's decreased; that the aggregate of
Individual deposits has Increased from
So. re. 410,4O2 in 1899 to $7,513, 954, 361
in 1899; and that ten years the ag-
gregate of loans has increased from
S3.475, 272, 262 to 1851, 467 $40.
These are big figures, but it takes
big figures to express the kind of pros
perity now being enjoyed by the people
of the United States.

Ways in Which He Accumulated His
Enormous Fortune.
Ii Hung Chang. the most conspicuous
Chinese of the age, is often called the
richest man in the world. One way in
which III for many years made an
enormous sum of money was to use
thousands of soldiers in his own pri-
vate enterprises without paying them
a cent for their labor. In the course of
time he purchased extensive estates in
the rice-growing regions and raised
more bushels of rice every year than
the bonanza farmers of North Dakota
used to raise of wheat. He got his
labor for nothing, and his great crop
of rice was ..lmost clear profit. He
simply turned his soldiers loose in the
rice fields, and they had to be content
with the rations and the miserable pit
lance paid to them by the government.
The great man also became his own
contractor for army supplies. He
would sell his own rice to the gov ern-

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.
Faisity Of the Claim that Protection

Faisity Of the Claim that Protection
Promotes Higher Prices.
II may be worth while to notice two
points made by Mr.. Bryan in his
speech in Chicago denouncing home
trusts. Mr.. Bry,in said.
IF an article can be produced In
this country as cheaply as il can be
produced abroad. then this INST could
exist without the benefit of any tariG
at all, although 1t could not extort so
much. No one can dispute that a tar
iff law, an impost duty. enables trust
to charge for its product the price Of
a similar foreign product, plus the tar
iff."
The price of foreign cotton ties be-
fore the Mckinley bin became a law
was SLIP a bundle. The duty imposed
by this law was $l03 bundle and the
price of the American cotton ties, while
the tarif was in force. was 80 cents
I'D tnen 50 cents bundle. There was
no e~tc-sion whatever, because the
price was % per cent lower under til :
law than 1t was before the Il r.g of
S1.03 bundle was imposed on foiesgu
cotton ties. If Mr.. gryan's assertion
that ne one can deny that tariff
law, an impest duty. enables trust to
charge for Its product tie price Of a
similar foreign product. plus the tar
iff,' was true. the price OF the Ameri-
can cotton ties would have advanced
to $2.15 a bundle. The Mckinley law
was repealed by the Democratic VIII
son-Gorman law. the tariff of $1.03 a
bundle taken off and cotton ties left
free of duty. What was the result?
trust was organized and the price OF
cotton ties was advanced to $1.25 and
then $1.40 bundle, proving in the
most conclusive manner that under
free trade "a trust could and did extort
outrageously without the benefit of any
tariff at ALL The price OF soda ash
under free trade was $4S ton. The
Solway Process Company, the only one
in this country making soda ash, and
therefore monopoly, or American

tortion under the American trust, but
that extortion was shameful under the
