INCREASE OF IMPORTS.
American People Have More Money
to spend Than Formerly.


Our imports for the year ending June
80. 1900. amounted to $40, 714,329, a
sum greater by nearly $10O,0OO,OOO
than the highest amount reached by
our imports during any one fiscal year
which had its beginning during the last
free trade administration. -Four years
ago President Mckinley said in the
course of one of the speeches which he
made to visiting delegations;
Nor do | think that it is economy
to buy goods cheaply abroad if it there
by enforces idleness at home
The imports of 1900 do not come
under the head of goods which, by
being bought abroad, have enforced
idleness at home. There has been no
idleness at home since Mckinley was
elected and the policy of protection was
re-established. The protective tariff
has seen to it that foreign producers
have not been permitted to sell their
pauper made goods in the American
market at prices that would take the
bread out of the mouths of American
workmen. On the contrary, our inn

which could not have been duplicated
at home, and they have been paid for,
and more than paid for out of the sur
plus of American exports which busy
American producers, made prosperous
by the enactment of the Dingley law,
have sent abroad, and the increase in
the amount of our imports implies
merely an increase in the amount of
money which the American people
have had to spend The increase in
their purchases of foreign goods is but
fractional part of the increase in
their purchases of American made
goods.

In reply to question as 10 whether Bry-

on a silver basis without legislation by
Congress, Secretary Gage said; There
is no doubt Mr.. Bryan could order his

payable in coin, and for all current dis
bursements OF the government as well,
which amount to from a million and a
half to a million and three quarter dollars

Here is another sentence from Mr..
Bryans speech of acceptance which has
decided application to those Southern
States where disfranchisement of the ne
gro is practiced: Once admit that some
people are capable of self-government
and that others are not, and that the ca
pabe people have a right to seize upon
and govern the incable and you make
force-brute force--the only foundation
of government and invite the reign of the
despots.'

Democrats and the Negro.

I'VE had hundred and twenty-five
thousand Negroes of voting age and we
had hundred thousand whites. Now can
YOU beat that by honest methods Yet
YOU stood up here and insisted that we
must give these people a free vote and a
fair count. They had it for eight years.
1--WE stuffed ballot boxes. We shot
them. We are not ashamed Of it. With
that system force, tissue ballots, etc
we got tired ourselves. So we called
Constitutional convention and we elimin
ated. as said all Of the colored people
whom we could under the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments.
The above is taken from the speech of
Senator Tillman. made in the United
States Senate, February 20. 1900 Sena-
tor Tillman is one Of the trusted and
confidential advis rs of Bryan ard one of
strongest leaders in the Democratic par
ty. Here is a United States Senator,
sworn to obey the Constitution, who de-
clares that they shot down the Negroes,
stuffed ballot boxes, and were not asham-
ed Of it, and finally DISTINGUISHED them.
And no Democrat has been found in
this State to repudiate this utterance. Here
is an open, plain violation of the Consti-
tuition and definanee of the general gov
eminent. What does the Democratic
party mean by this assault n tie Govern
ment and Constitution. 1t is alarming.
The laws must be enforced. The Ne
groes of the South are entitled to vote
under the Constitution of the United
States. The States of the South say they
shall not vote. Here is the beginning of
another conflict. Where will it end Ten
million of our people are being deprived
of their rights the Constitutions set aside
while the Democrats are declaring the
Constitution is violated in the Philippines
when there is no foundation for it what
ever If West Virginia goes Democratic
at this election, the Democrats will put
themselves in open violation of the Con-
stitution by disfr] the Negroes,
