planned he had given no explanation OF
his change of front. His speech and
his report, he said, gave full explana-
ton. He believed in free trade with
Puerto Rico at one time, but subse-
quent information had convinced him
the duty proposed by the pending bill
should be imposed.
The Payne amendment was adopted
without division.
Mr.. Gerry, of Kentucky, opposed the
substitute. He said the amendment
proposed petty larceny of the people
of Puerto Rico.
The bill was opposed in short
speeches by DeArmond OF Missouri,
Fitzgerald of Massachusetts, and Otey
of Virginia and defended by Grow of
Pennsylvania, Graft of Illinois, Brom-
well of Ohio and 0rosyenor of Ohio.
A 3 o'clock Mccall, OF Massachusetts,,
on behalf of the minority, offered as n
substitute the bill for free trade with
Puerto Rico, originally introduced by
Payne and the yeas and nays were
ordered.
The substitute was defeated, $50
yeas to 17j nays. This indicated the
passage of the bill.

Cry of the Hostess.

Oh, / am weary, heart and hand,
And warped and worn and strained;
So tired Of entertaining and
OF being entertained!
So PROSTATE is my weighted soul
With dinners, %luncheons, teas,
I'd build a house at the north pole -
To get away from these.
And with What joy I'd waltz about
In hourly growing glee
If no one came to ask me out =
Or ever called on me.
Oh, what delight to sit and gaze
Over the wastes OF snow,
Quite sure no form would cross the space
Either OF friend or foe.
Fearing nor woman, man nor child,
Nor even the postman's ring, I
The cards and Invitations piled
That he Is sure to bring. -
Yea, could | pay my calls and see ~
My list quite clear again, =
My score wiped out, my tablet free.
My mind at ease ' > an, then.
I'd ask Of fate, with grateful tears,
This dearest blessing shown
For the remainder of my years
Just to be let alone.
Iife.

JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

The year 1890 would have teen o
record breaker in the production of
gold had IL not been for the condi-
tions in South Africa, but il is esti-
mated the production will amount to
p6s,O00 pounds. The Witwatersrand
Mill probably, after peace has been re-
stored, produce 5000, 900 and the other
districts in Africa 100000 ounces, or
approximately double the production
Of 1897. The United States. Australia
and Canada also contribute an i'm
crease, SO that the next century will
begin with a yearly production OF
about 1~,014,000 pounds, of n value of
B305, 800, 900, which means that the
output of gold alone will exceed by
s110, 000, 600 the average production of
gold and silver combined in the years
between 1866 and 1870. From the dis
sovery of America up to the year 1890
there were produced 32,514,329 pounds
Of gold.

EXPLAINS NEW GOLD BILL.
Aldrich Calls Up Conference Meas
ure in The Senate.

Aldrich Calls Up Conference Meas
urc In the Senate.
Washington, March 2.-Soon after
the senate convened today Aldrich, of
Rhode Island. called up the confer
cDce financial bill and made an eXpia-
nation Of the differences between the
senate bill and the conference bill. The
first change was i'm the section defin-
ing the standard. 1t was, he said, a
purely verbal change, and undoubted-
~ strengthened the section. The sec
ond change was a provision inserted
in the bill making il the express duty
Of the secretary of the treasury To
maintain a reserve fund in order that
the parity Of United States money
should be preserved. Aldrich thought
the senate bill did impose that duty,
but the house conferees insisted that
an Injunction should be incorporated
i'm the bill in terms. The next change
provided that the gold reserve might
be held in gold coin 'or bullion" the
last two words being added, because
facilities for the coinage Of gold would
not at present admit of the coming OF
gold in sufficient quantity to main
tain at all times the reserve in gold
coin.
After Aldrich's explanation Of the
conference report on the financial bill
McLaurin Of Louisiana, addressed the
senate on the Philippine question. He
strongly advocated the retention Of
the islands by this government.

ENORMOUS COST TO AMERICA.

According to the statement Of Sena-
tor Allison and Representative Can
non, the chairman of the Senate and
House appropriations committees, re-
lspectively, the cost of our war with
Spain and the Filipinos aggregate to
June 80 of this year S4S2, 5e2, 0s3. 10
continue the work of benevolent ASSN
ilation until June 30, 1901 will cost
1871, 247, 155. So the total, twelve months
hence, will amount to the enormous
sum of $613, 500, 23S. Even if the Fill
pinos year hence, haye surrendered
Internationally, it will not be practi-
cable to withdraw our forces from the
islands if Mr.. McKinley's imperial
policy is to continue, and the Fill
pinos are to be subjects" of the
American Republic and are not to be
given independence. If years are re-
quired to establish stable govern
ment, as army officers who are IA
miliar with the situation declare will
be the case, it is probable that the
cost of our war with Spain and the
Filipinos will ultimately amount to a
billion dollars. The appropriation for
1901 is set down as permanent an
nual' one. and if conditions in the
Philippines are what they are repre-
sented to be by conservative officers
now engaged IN pacifying the natives
our imperial policy may cost us $131,
247, 155 year for an indefinite period.
In return for this vast expenditure
statistics from Washington show, with
a flourish of trumpets, that the exports
of the United States to the Philippines
for the first nine months of the pre-
sent fiscal year amounted to 81, 957, 788
against $75, 738 for the corresponding
period in 1898. So, in seven years our
trade has increased about 81 800, 600.
But in order to accomplish this "grand
result, "as the Republican officials style
it, we have sent nearly 10000 soldiers
there and have spent about 500, 900, 600
in transporting, feeding, clothing and
paying them for their services. And
probably the boosted increase in ex-
ports represents only the articles i'm
ported for the army of occupation 1t
is not necessary for a man to be an
expert in business methods to under
stand that foreign trade secured on
such terms is not Immensely profitable.

A FIRST RATE PLANK.

The Manufacturers Record proposes
platform for the progressive South, :"
and in it we find this plank:
Resolved, that the South favors the
politics that will encourage and protect
investments within it's borders, will
raise more chimneystacks of mills and
furnaces, will strengthen and extend
railroad systems, will open more
mines, will widen the markets for
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts and will increase the means and
opportunities for placing those pro-
ducts in the markets,
This, says the Nashville American,
is good plank, made of stout oak,
the kind of building material that will
last better than makeshifts put to-
gether to catch the eye, but without en-
during qualities.
The South wants more Investments
within its borders. What is the best
means of getting them? Protect and
encourage the ones we already have. We
want more chimney stacks of mills and
furnaces, but they are not coming until
they are assured that those already
here are well treated.
We ought to make up our minds in
the South to oppose the election of any
man to Office who is not only not OPP
posed to industrial development, but
who is also an outspoken champion
of progress and an expanding COM
merce and who possesses the intelli-
gence, capacity and industry to aid
in acquiring them for us.
