ourselves from foreign Indebtedness.
Did our own people but earn the
5000, 100000 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 Ameri IAN securities which they
now hold in such enormous sums and
which at present keep the country a
debtor nation.
We have i'll the past forty years paid
TO foreigners easily four thousand
millions of dollars for doing our for
eign carrying, 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 monometallist, but Of
every bimetallist in the United
States.

! INCREASE OF WAGES
Results OF McKinley's Policy of
"0pening the Mills"
Two Hundred Factories Paid Out
Twice as Much Money in Wages
Last Year as They Did
in 1894.

Akron, ON the campaign of $50
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 a re-
sponsive chord from the tens of thou
sands who had been idle during the
last democratic administration, and
the empty dinner pail brigade went to
the polls and voted for a fun 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.
1--WE have received 200 replies. These
show that there was u steady increase
in the number of hands employed in the
200 factories until the year 1898, after
which there was an immediate drop of
10000 men in 1894. But under Presi-
dent McKinley's administration the in
crease in the number of men employed
by these same factories has been
startling. In 1894 they employed 90
4s3; in 1897 they employed 100000; in
1898 they employed 131.42s men, and
last year they employed 174,645 men.
In short, the number of wage-earners
employed by these same 200 factories
has increased from 9O.4s3 men in 1894
up to 174,645 last year-almost doubled,
in fact.
But the contrast is even more strik-

TRADE BALANCES.
Apparent and Real Favorable Bal.
anees of Amer iean Foreign
Trade.

Nothing so perpetuates the debtor
condition # the United States as its
annual payment to foreign shipown-
ers of some s2Oo.0o0,0OO each year.
When to that amount is added the
sum paid for insurance, banking and
exchange TO foreigners because they
control the means of transporting our
exports and imports, the cash or its
equivalent in our products annually
drawn from the United States largely
exceeds S2o0,000.o0o. To so legislate
as to foster an immense shipowning
and shipbuilding industry in the
United States-suffieient to enable our
own people 10 carry our imports and
exports in American ships-would be
equivalent to securing the retention
at home of a minimum sum of
5000, 100000 each year that now goes
out of the country to afford employ
ment to aliens at our expense. To
keep such vast sum at home would
rapidly transform the United States
into creditor nation.
During the last four years the APP
parent balance of trade in favor of
the United States has closely approx
mated to two thousand millions of
dollars. Were that an actual rather
than an apparent favorable trade bal
ance we would soon cease to be a
debtor nation. But when we deduct
about one-half of that trade balance
because of the payment made TO for
eign shipowners, bankers and insur-
ance companies, and again deduct the
large but unknown amounts consist
ing of interest due foreigners on i'm
vestments in the United States, money
spent abroad by Americans and the
sums RENTED 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 inn
ports gives us to once and for all free

raise most, if not all, of his feed, and
by care in feeding and keeping in high

partment as free from disease as the

clean and wholesome quarters, good
care and proper feed, the danger from
cholera and other diseases would be

In the illustration I show pen used

ment is such as to hold six sows and
their Filters. Each pen is sx9 feet;

dows for light, and to remove by slid
ing back to allow cleaning of litter
from nests; b. b b, troughs for feeding

ground floor pens. These ground floor
pens may be used alternately, as shown
in the plan, and may be made any size
to suit the fancy, but ! would put the
cross partitions in temporary for rea-

In the diagram l have shown pens
both adjacent to the north and south
sides of nest pen. The pens on south
side are used during the winter season
when the animals need plenty of sun
light and warm air In the spring the
pen partitions in south pen are re-
moved and pen devoted to sorghum,
sugar beets. etc, and by closing the
gates at c, C., c, in hallway, the trap
doors in partition between nest and
hallway are open, and the pens on
north side are open for use where the
sows are accorded a fresh lot. and adj
vantage of shade of building from the
hot rays of sun. In autumn this lot
can be sown into rye, thus renovating
the pens and giving the animals a
change of pasture at least two or three
times a year on small territory. This
we think an excellent plan where ami
mails cannot have full range of the
farm, which is not at all necessary if
the management is right.-George w.

wages paid. and the following table

THE amount of wages paid by these
same 200 manufactures increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was a drop in 1898 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 .000-in
fact, the amount of wages which they
distributed last year was almost double

KEEPING HOGS CLEAN.
This Is Equivalent TO Keeping Ihem
In Good Health and Promoting
Their Growth.

There is no excuse for allowing the
hog house quarters to become foul and
diseased. Given the chance the hog
will do more toward keeping himself
clean than any other farm animal Will.
More than two-thirds of the disease IN
swine owes its origin to filth and lack
of care in feeding. The hog has no
need of a wallow in summer time. The
land occupied by walIow holes would
be vastly more profitable if planted in
some succulent crop to feed when au-
tumn pasture is short. Go among
breeders who handle good hogs only
and YOU will find no hogs wallowing in
filth.

such a peculiar manner as they would

Americans have no right on earth to
