Official Figures Show United
States Now Second in the
Worlds Foreign Trade.
Calamity Cries of Bryan and bis
Followers Are Set at
Naught.
Markets of the World Being Captured
Gold Standard and Protection
triumphant

Mr.. Bryan 10 an advocate OF free
trade and free silver, but he and his
followers have always maintained that
q protective tariff would deprive us
of the markets Of the world" while
the gold standard, if maintained,
would result in our absolute expul-
sion from them and our commercial
ruin.
What are tho facts? We give below
o table made from the official figures
furnished by the treasury department
of the United States, showing the
foreign commerce of the six great
civilized and gold standard nations
Of the world for the year 1899. The
figures for 1900, so marvellous is the
increase in our prosperity, it is con-
fidently predicted, will put us at the
head of the list or only excelled by
one country, Great Britain. We have
already, it is known, surpassed Great
Britain in the volume of export trade.
Country. Total Commerce:
Great Britain 660, 591, OBS
United states ................ 20 IsS S4S
Germahy ....................... $50 $50 Sde
Nathsran 800 DC 0SS
Russia .......................... 4S0, 093, OO0
In 1899 our commerce exceeded that
OF Germany by $57,347,2Os, making
US that year the second nation in the
world In foreign commerce, which is
doing pretty well toward Capturing
the markets of the world" and puts
the calamity cries of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers in this respect on the
ISSf Nf tAI II
grossly ignorant of the history Of our
commerce.
But in the eyes of Mr.. Bryan and
his followers the gold standard "that
the conspiracy against the human
race" was to be the final nail in the
coffin of our business in the markets
of the world. In 1873, when the ter
rible "crime" was committed and
"silver was assassinated," we bought
OF foreign countries $56,52S,651 more
than we sold them. In other words
we failed by that amount OF captur-
ing any of the markets of the world.
In 1872 before "silver had been struck
down" we failed by s116,2s3, GAO in cap
turing any of the markets of the
world, for we bought just that much
more of foreign countries than we
sold them.
But in 1896 the people of this coun-
try voted to adopt both protective
tariff and the gold standard. The
result in capturing the markets of
the world" is shown by the following
table taken also from the official re-
ports of the United States treasury
department.:

And now If there is no prosperity lurking
about this country will some free silver
democrat explain how 1t Is that the German
government shas just negotiated lean of

practically closed up last week by the TAX

init, however, that the amount of interest
which the Kaser's government thus con-
tracts to pay to this country yearly and the
other similar amounts paid by the Russian,
English and other governments will have
anything to do with making the present
prosperity of permanent kind.
1t was Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, who assisted In raising aloft the
Declaration of Independence in the demo-
cratic national convention. 1t was Ben
Tillman who, with lothers, shed great big
imaginary tears Of grief to think that the
Filipino had not been presented with a
liberty which would make hell itself for
hlm In comparison with what would come
from the liberty which the republican ad-
ministratlon is attempting to train him to
receive and Is trying to give him. 1t was
also Ben Tillman who said at a tire not
far distant from that same date Of weeping
over the rebellious Filipino, this time speak
ing of the colored man who is trying what
the Filipinos who are In rebellion against
the United States are not trying and have
not tried-to make themselves worthy OF
the freedom which the Declaration OF indie
pendence asserted should be theirs but
which was not theirs until given to them by
the republican party, 1--WE stuffed the bal
