BOSTON, May 9.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
the wool market. the trade for the most
part being completely stagnant. Pending
the opening of the London wool sales on
Tuesday of this week there was little dis
position to operate. 1t was generally ex-
pected that the sales would open at a fur
Their decline, which expectation was real
lied when, on that day, cables were re-
ceived announcing declines OF from to 10
per cent. and offerings of 1000 bales. This
decline abroad has naturally intensified
weakness here. Aside from the London
sales the attention of the trade has been
largely concentrated on the wool-growing
lock between the grower and the buyer
and but very few of the new woods have as
yet been purchased. In the local market
sales have been very small and prices un-
changed.
The sales Of the week in Boston amounted
to 1,477,0Oo pounds domestic, and $4,000
pounds foreign, making total OF Loo, 900,
against total Of 1.5n goo for the previous
week, and a total Of 7.693,000 for the cor
responding week last year.
The sales since Jan. amount to 65. 800
pounds. against 81. 800 pounds for the
corresponding time last year.

a good clearance was made at strong to a

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-05-10

Here is something for those who
think Jackson would favor Mckinley
ism, were he alive, to consider:
HE was the first American to en-
phasize the Democratic doctrine that
under the constitution congress alone
had power to coin and issue money;
and in his veto of the bill to recharter
the United States bank he declared
that this power was a governmental
function, could be exercised by con-
gress alone, and should not he dele
gated to corporations or individuals.
He denounced the bank and denied the
constitutionality of it's creation.
Against the advice of Webster and
Clay, against the decision of the Su-
preme court, in the face of friends and
foes alike, he took his stand and
fought the fight to a finish against the
most gigantic monopoly which Ameri-
ca at that time had ever known"
The Republican organs have been
eulogizing the memory of Andrew
Jackson with fulsome praise. They
seem to be afraid of him even in the
spirit. But he comes out Of his grave
on occasions and speaks to the Ameri-
can people in such clear language that
no man can be deceived.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-05-10
POLITICAL BROTHERS.

1t must be an immense satisfaction
to the American citizen, worrying over
his financial condition, that William
Mckinley and Grover Cleveland are in
full accord as to the proper" remedy
Time was when William boldly and
anarchistically, not to say reasonably
denounced Grover in no measured
language for depositing public money
in ''pet banks" 1t is a suspicious
sign, however, to now have two such
master minds and prominent figures in
the public eye engaged in smacking
their lips over the public purse. 1t is
said that when rogues fall out honest
men get their DUE" but here we have
the unsual spectacle of two honest
men clinging together like Siamese
twins, staying the attacks of dis
honest people. We are all rogues, and
we have departed from the principles
established by the immortal Jackson
Grover says so, and William mods as
sent. What is the ligature which holds
these incompatible, inconsistent ele-
ments together in such close relations?
Is there a possibility amounting to a
possibility that the next ticket to
sweep the country in the interests OF
the foreign bond holder, the trusts,
syndicates, money brokers, banks and
other instruments of American pros
perity, shall be Mckinley and Cleve-
land, or Cleveland and Mckinley? 1t
matters little which way the ticket
reads, so far as effects CO. True
Grover did inconsiderately twist the
British lions tail in the Venezuela
matter, but William has been gracious
ly apologizing ever since, even to the
surrender of the whole country to our
British brethren. England would hail
such ticket with its approval, and put
up money to secure Its election. What
difference, therefore, to the American
people? The men who own and con-
troll the peoples money also own and
control the people themselves.

A New York banker has Just re-
turned from Mexico and was inter-
viewed by the New York Tribune, but
the Arizona Gazette insists that the
Whitelaw Reid organ was afraid to
publish the truth about. Mexican pros
perity. The returned banker did say
through the Tribune that the republic
is prosperous, paying off its national
debt and furnishing hundreds of thou
sands Of new laborers with employ
ment every year. There is more
money coming into Mexico than ever
BEFORE" quoth the banker; banks are
being organized all over the country
and everything Is in a cheerful condi-
ton. The Americans and English are
putting up great sugar mills and open
ing UP the tropical belt to the markets
of the world. Here the Arizona paper
takes up the interview and explains
why the Tribune cut it short.
There are no panic scares there.
The monetary standard is stable. The
supply Of money is sufficient for the de-
mands of trade. In fact, it is the
abundance of money that starts trade
and keeps it UP. Every Mexican pro-
ducer is making money and is happy.
While other nations are boarding their
currency, that of Mexico is in circu-
lation, performing the functions for
which it was created.
Mexican statesmen and financiers
attribute the prosperity enjoyed by
their people and the republic to the
unlimited use Of silver as medium
of exchange.
They have currency which is not
constantly appreciating in value to
the detriment Of all other forms of
wealth; currency which cannot be
cornered, manipulated or controlled
by few to the injury Of the many. A
currency which foreign financiers can
not limit or lock up at pleasure. A
currency which enables the producing
classes of Mexico to realize from their
products more than the bare cost of
production-in short, currency which
Is satisfactory to and sufficient for the
tradesmen and producers and to every
body except the usurers and the money
changers, who have been scourged
from the temple of Mexican progress. u
