vestments in the United States, money
spent abroad by Americans and the
sums remitted by immigrants, we find
our favorable trade balance dwindles
down TO very small proportions. AS
consequence, we are but slowly
emerging from our condition of for
eign Indebtedness.
Free silver advocates must see. how.
ever, the golden opportunity our pres
ent enormous exports in excess of i'm
ports gives us to once and for all free
ourselves from foreign Indebtedness.
Did our own people but earn the
$200,OO0,O0O or more each year now
paid to foreigners for charges incident
to the carriage of our imports and eX-
ports, European gold would be forced
into the United States at an enor-
nous rate to meet the balances due us.
or else Europeans would send back to
us the American securities which they
now hold in such enormous sums and
which at present keep the country
debtor nation.
We have in the past forty years paid
to foreigners easily four thousand
millions of dollars for doing our for
eign carrying. a sum that has gone
out and stayed out of the country to
its permanent impoverishment. Our
national wealth to-day is all of four
thousand millions of dollars less than
it would have been had American
ships carried the same proportion of
our foreign commerce during the past
forty years that they did during the
preceding seventy years. More than
that, to keep on paying foreigners at
the rate we are now doing for the car
riage of our imports and exports will,
during the. next quarter of a century
alone, take. out of the United States
fully five thousand millions of dollars
additional.
Not only will the country be
drained of this colossal amount, but
American labor in the mines, the
mills, the factories, the shipyards
and on board the ships will be denied
the employment incident to the build
ing of ships from the mining of the
ore and the telling of the forests to
the completed ships.
The passage of the shipping bill,
which will quickly put an end to our
present dangerous and impoverishing
dependence upon foreign shipping for
our foreign carrying should for the
reasons outlined if not for the very
many others unstated for lack of
space, command the active support of
not only every mouometallist. but OF
every bimetallist in the United
States

Mckinley EncOuraSed Mining.

President Mckinley recommended
that the Dingley tariff should be so
levied as "to aid and develop mining"
That mining has been greatly encour-
aged is amply shown by the figures re-
lating to the two great mining indus
tries-coal and iron. The coal produc-
tion of 1899 exceeds 2O0,O00.O0O tons,
against l79.G00,OOO in 1897 and III ,OOO,-
900 in 1896. and has placed the United
States at the head of the worlds pro-
ducers of this article. our product in
1899 being greater than that of any
other country. The pig iron production
in 1899 was 13,62O,7O3 tons. against
9652,GS0 tons in 1897 and s.623. 1877 tons
in 1896. In pig iron, as in coal. the
United States now holds the first place
in the worlds production.

INCREASE OF WAGES
Results Of McKinley's Policy of
"Opening the Mills"
Two Hundred Factories Paid Out
Twice as Much Money in Wages
Inst Year ns They Did
In 1894.

Akron, ON the campaign of 1896
Mr.. Mckinley made one remark that
went TO the hearts of the people from
one end of the country to the other.
1t was: Open the mills " said Gen.
Charles Dick, secretary of the republic
an national committee.
"Those three words met with re-
sponsive chord from the tens of thou
sands who had been id.e during the
last democratic administration, and
the empty dinner pail brigade went to
he polls and voted for full dinner
pail and for the opening of the mills.
''In order TO gain some idea of the
effect of restoring the home market to
our own people, the republican national
committee sent out blanks to members
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers asking them to kindly fur
nish us with the number of men whom
they had employed in each year from
1890 to 1899, inclusive. as well as with
the total amount of wages which they
had paid during the same years.
I'VE have received 200 replies These
show that there was Il steady increase
in the number of hands employed in the
200 factories until the year 1893. after
which there was an immediate drop of

Report that Admiral Seymour Killed
His wounded Wen Seems 10 Have
Been Fake.

San Francisco, July 24,-There is
nothing in the extensive report of
Admiral Seymour which was received
here Monday by the American Marn
to prove the sensational story that
was circulated the earlier part of this
month to the effect that Admiral Sev-
mour, who commanded the Pekin re-
lief expedition, killed his wounded to
save them from the Chinese.
Commander Very, L. S. N, who re-
turned from the Orient on the steam
er, and others who were at Hons
Kong when Admiral Seymour returIr
ed from Tien Tsin. did not hear the,
story and the admiral's report, which,
is an elaboration of the cablegram
published on the 30th of June, makes
not the slightest mention of the af-
fair, but. on the contrary. goes into
particulars of the bravery of the al

PEACE IN PHILIPPINES.
Native Paper Says Let wn- Cease
tOnce-Interesfs of the COGn-
try at stake.

The civil commission presided over
by Judge Taft will soon arrive at Ma
Mia. charged with establishing in the
archipelago provisional government,
a preparatory step to the establish
ment of a permanent government.
adapted to the conditions found in the
Philippine Islands.
Judging from the impressions set
forth in the press concerning the
plans of this commission. the ques-
tions which will be submitted to their
consideration will be carefully stud
led, and as the chief of the commits
sion is to restore peace as soon as
possible, 1t will undoubtedly hear the
opinions of all those who pretend to
direct the politics of the country.
The different elements which now
find themselves in opposite camps,
into which Philippine politics are now
divided, should blot out their differ
ences in order to labor with the com
difficult labors. The interests of the
country demand this. the future of
our children calls for it.
Filipinos should set forth with sim
cerity all their aspirations. and those
will be adopted which are not opposed
to the progress and liberty of the no.
BILE American in the Philippines. and
we believe that peace will soon be
realized on a basis of love and mutual
esteem of peoples called to be
brothers.
Peace with such a solid founda tion,
peace prompted by love. is the peace
which must bring to the Philippines
the happiness desired, because it will
De a perpetual peace. maintained and

nous North American nation, the

Wages Paid.

THE amount of wages paid by these
same 200 manufactures increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was a drop in 1893 and another drop
in 1894. During the next two years
wages picked up, but it was not until
1897 that these same manufacturers
were paying out as much money in
wages as they had paid in 1892. The in
crease of their pay rolls in 1898 and
1899 is as gratifying to me as it must
be to the men who are now busy at
good wages.
Between 1894 and 1899 the 200 man
ufacturers of the National association
who reported to us had increased their
pay rolls by upwards of $3s, 900 GG0-in
fact, the amount of wages which they
distributed last year was almost double
what they paid out in 1894.
"If this ratio of increase were ap-
piled to the whole country. without
taking into account the number of new
factories that have been started in the
last few years. who can deny that gen.
eral prosperity has visited the coun-
try? And what depth of meaning
those three words: Open the mills,
uttered by Mr.. Mckinley less than four
years ago. has really conveyed"

4 Strong Team.

In President Mckinley, the people
have a man of high character, unsulied
reputation, answering patriotism. and
"a stronger candidate than he was in
1896, because his remarkable expert
ence has strengthened and broadened
him and better equipped him for exec
utive duties. In Gov. Roosevelt, the
people have representative of the
stalwart American of the day, and a
man as closely identified with the pol
icy of expansion as is the president
himself. They make a strong team.

Cubans can never be too grateful to
Foraker for saving their island for
them. Military officials are not com
potent TO deal with questions which in
volve personal and public interests in
such a peculiar manner as they would
be in the matter of concessions. Again.
Americans have no right on earth to
grant concessions for work which will
affect public and private interests of
Cubans permanently. This island of
Cuba belongs to Cubans. and the day
is coming when eubans will govern it.

subject to some criticism. has been Of
untold benefit to the island. and will

What Mckinley Wanted.

The president urged that the Dingley
tariff duties should be so levied as ito
relieve and encourage agriculture. ."
That agriculture has been relieved and
encouraged is shown by the increased
prices for agricultural products, all
of which have materially advanced in
the home market, and by the large in
crease in expectation i'll the products
of agriculture, which, in the fiscal year
1899, were $10O,O0O,0oO greater than in
the fiscal year 1897, and in 1898 were
100000 900 in excess of those of 1897.

The Antis.

It is evident already in the campaign
that the democratic party expects to
depend on defamation rather than
proofs, and expects the country to be-
lieve that it is going to the bow vows
simply because they say so. The coun-
try is bigger, the republic is more Sc
cure and civic virtue is stronger to-
day than ever before in the history of
our nation. All the defamation that
the democrats can pour into the cam
paign will not change these facts.

According to Mr.. Wilson, secretary
of state for agriculture, the skins of
supertluous dogs ir Nebraska are
tanned and made into gloves. This
might give valuable hint to many
large cities, including Chicago, where
great numbers of stray dogs are
killed annually. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars v.orth of canine pelts
are imported annually for this very
purpose, dogskin being one of the best
materials for gloves.
