who had none, but felt certain that 8
cents would mark the limit of the rise,
had placed them quite at the mercy of
holders. But the markets both for
goods and for cotton have been affected
all over the world and the country will
reap some benefit in larger excess of
merchandise exports over imports. The
market for goods has been pushed to
greater activity though they have risen
only per cent since the year began,
while material has risen over 25 per
cent
Except across the ocean, where
events in South Africa caused nearly
all business to be forgotten, changes in
the stock market rank next in financial
interest to the rise of cotton. 1t was a
revelation of the appreciation in which
American railway stocks are held to
see them strongly supported, with the
Third Avenue falling to about so, and
Flour Milling dismissed to the hands
or receivers.
A small rise in wheat, though the
price is quite low, sufficed to call from
the farms 4,105,661 bushels, against 81
1876, 437 last year, so as to indicate that
supplies are not nearly exhausted. Elk
ports from Atlantic ports were small

1,306,3S6 bushels, against 4,096,984 last

Commerce of Philippines.

The war department has published some
statistics of the Philippine commerce for
the quarter of last year ending September
80, which throws new light on the export
trade, so far as it relates to the United
States. 1t is shown that of the total
exports of raw sugar, amounting to ST.
l43,349, only $4,000 went to the United
States, while Japan and Great Britain
took nearly all of the remainder. Also
as to leaf tobacco the exports to the
United States were trifing in amount,
Spain taking the largest part, $2948l9,
and England $3S,947. The United States
also took only $5032 of Manila cigars out
of a total export of $240,299 and none
of the other manufactures of tobacco came
cigarettes to the amount of $2360 were
imported from the United States. Even
in Manila hemp the United States was
second, while Great Britain took 81 ,l47,-
424. The total value of hemp exports was
$2,776,907 and the amount was l9,945
tons.
The imports of merchandise into the
islands were valued at $6,043,077 and the
exports $4,SS4,057. Silver coin to the
value of $58S,OOl was imported.
The total imports from Europe were
valued at 1926, 500 and from North
America $751; 1875. The exports to Europe

Review of Trade.

r. G. Dun Company's weekly re-
view of trade for the past week says:
Besides the 881 commercial failures
for So 1881 ,048, which are reported, there
were in February six banking failures
for $620,121, and receivers were APP
pointed for the United States Flour
Milling Company with $25,000,000 of
stock and $15,000,000 of bonds author
lied at it's organization last April, and
for the Third Avenue Railway Com
pany of New York, after liens for sew
eral millions had been placed upon the
property. Unless separated from such
events commercial failures could not
be compared with benefit. In most of
the branches the comparison with pre-
vious years is encouraging and analy-
sis brings out in strong light the re-
markedly low average of liabilities in
the smaller failures which constitute
the great majority, indicating sound
business conditions and unusually sat
isafctory collections.
The rise of cotton to 9 IL cents, the
highest point since January, 1893, has
done much to stimulate business, draw
ing from southern plantations and
country towns more than double the
quantity marketed last year, distrib-
uting millions to producers, whose pur-
chases of supplies are thus increased,
and swelling beyond all expectation the
purchases for export.

REPUBLIC.

The Princess Maud winze is still be-

The east drift on the Gold Ledge is
in 1875 feet, and machinery is to be put
on.
The winze in the Sain Poll mine be-
low the No. tunnel is down about 16
feet.
At the Quilp native gold leaf has
again made it's appearance on the 100
foot level.
Water is coming in at the face of the
drift in the lower level of the Golden
Lion and Little Four.
The big boiler for the Tom Thumb
hoist has reached the claim and is be-
ing placed in position.
At the Quilp there is considerable
activity in preparation for the install
lation of the machinery.
James J. Hill of the Great Northern
says that Republic mines can undoubt-
eddy be worked at profit.
The hoist at the new Butte & Boston
shaft was steamed up last week. The
shaft is now down about so feet, with
the DOJLOm III udTu ground.
The ore chute on the 150-foot level of
the Tom Thumb mine still continues on
the pay chute, which is reported from
the mine to be about 100 feet long.
The shaft at the Gopher is now down
1853 feet of vertical depth from the col
lar of the shaft, and it is supposed will
strike the vein at depth of 220 feet.

Better days are dawning for Repub-
lie. The camp is waking to greater &C
tivity. Mines are resuming develop
ment, machinery is starting, companies
are announcing that new machinery is
to be purchased. The busy time that
had been expected this winter, but
which failed to materialize, is coming
at last, and spring and summer will
see the camp again making long strides
toward prosperity and dividends. Ev-
erything of late has tended to encour-
age the mine owners. Mills are to be
built upon such large scales as positive
iy indicate the confidence which men
OF large capital have in the camp. When
the big ones become confident the little
ones follow suit. So it is that mines
are starting which few weeks ago
seemed to have become permanently
idle. Development is bringing every
property upon which depth has been at
tanned rapidly to the front. All things
point positively to the fact that Re
public is camp of happy destiny.

Imperialism a Stern Fact.

To urge that the Mckinley crown
colony policy is not imperialism is
only to plead the baby act' in an
other way. Two federal judges, one
in New York and one in Chicago, and
both Republicans, have recently de-
cided, one as to Puerto Rico and the
other as to the Philippines, that these
lands are not within the protection OF
the American constitution, but are
foreign countries subject to the sovt
ereignty OF the United States. Tha.
Is the relationship that Mckinley is
trying to perpetuate, and it is the es.
sence OF Imperialism. 1t is the rela-
ton that the empire of Rome estab-
lishcd with her provinces II "impe-
rialism" is a distasteful term to our
fastidious imperialists let them use an.
other. They might prefer "forcible
annexation" criminal aggression" or
something of that kind. But they
would be no better off. IL is not the
name but the essence of the thing that
shocks the republican sense of Amer
lea: and the essence of it is that Mr..
Mckinley would have the American
republic extend its sovereign power
over peoples TO whom it denies citi-
zenship rights ana who would there.

inee on the Democratic county and

either of our legislative candidates
is a vote to send Shoup, the sena.

elected, will be a credit to our
county, and who will look after the
interests of the working people in
the next Legislature.
Our nominees for county offices
are all well known as being honest.

candidate deserves the hearty sup

elected will render most satisfac-

Populist Address.

An address to populists has been
Issued from the Peoples party state
headquarters signed by d. H. An
drews, chairman, and A. G. Whit
tier secretary. The address says in
part; The one thing desired by the
Populists of this state lie the cleo
ton of Bryan to the presidency.
To that end, and with it only in
view, they are in favor of forming
a close and harmonious union with
the Democrats and Silver Repub
licans in this campaign. Before
entering into negotiations with the
Democrats we secured the opinion
of every leading Populist in the
state, and through our committee
men felt the pulse of the populist
vote. The result was an expression
OF opinion absolutely overwhelm-
ing in favor of fusion. After the
agreement was reached with the
Democrats. we attempted to secure
the declination of our nominees who
were to give place to the Democrats,
and while we had all these declina-
tions, or the promise of them at an
early stage of the campaign, yet
some influence has lately been at
work that has prevented our getting
a few OF such destinations. We do
not sanction the action of those
Populists who have been and now
are starding in the way of an har-
monious union. and we can not see
our way clear to supporting them,
either openly or secretly. We urge
every Populist to support the regu-
lar fusion ticket, and we believe
that practically all of them will

A Pathetic Life Story.

The free, happy and prosperous
miners of the west can scarcely con-
ceive the unhappy lot of the east
ern coal-miner. Here is the life
story of Stephen Mcdonald, as told
by himself before an audience of
striking miners near Scranton:
"When | was six years and four
months old | went to work in the
breakers of the Pancoast Coal COM
pany. | have worked ninteen years,
every day that | could get. l have
never been on an excursion in nv
life. l have not drunk drop of
beer or liquor for five years, and
for two years | have not smoked
| have practiced the closest econom v
in food. But have been unable to
accumulate 800 in my life. Men,
| have lived in the hamlet of
Throop all my life. You and |
know this has always been a COM
pany store town. We know in our
hearts what that means, whatever
the operators may say. Eleven
years | worked for the Pancoast
Coal company, and during those
eleven years swear here before the
Omnipotent | never handled one
cent of earnings in money. | also
have due bills of other memb RS of
our family to show they handled
money neither in all that period"
Yet the face of the hope-killing,
soul-deadening conditions, the flint
hearted mine-owners have the eff
frontry to affirm that the strikers
have no grievances, and the injus-
tices to say: ave will not give you
better wages; we will not remedy
the abuses of which you complain:
we will not listen to your griev-
ances; we will not arbitrate. We
will starve you into submission"
