In an toteeuiew, tea Chicago Chronlole correspondent, Governor Matthews reoently aaid: "I have always looked upon tha demonetization of siltei aa a great wrong, and I have ever been and am now ready to support any reasonable proposition looking to its restoration. I appreciate the foot that this oan best be accomplished by mesne of an International agreement. I am a bimetallist. Ido not believe there ie gold enough in the world to meet the demands of oommeroe. I would like to hear less talk about tho pioapeot of securing an international agreement and to aae some definite stepa taken in that direction. I think the United States aho’d lead In the movement to aeoure an international agreement. This Is a great country, boundless In Its resources and almost limitless in its oat abilities, and I believe tha inflnenoe of the United States, if exerted energetically in favor of tho restoration of ailver, would go for toward accomplishing such an end. I have laid, and I now say again, that I am not In favor of openingthemmtaof tha United States to the coinage of ailver until an sarneat and ninoere effort to aeoure an international agreement haa bean made and has rarußed in failure. When we have made a proposition for the ooinage of silver and it has been rejeoted by the other nations, and when it beoomes apparent that all our overtures looking to tna rehabilitation of ailver are to be ignored by other nations, then I w. uld be willing to consider the advisability of independent aotton by this gov. rnment. This does not mean that I would, in any ovant, favor the unlimited ooinage of silver by this government alone at the ratio of 16 to 1. The qneetion as to the amount of ooinage and the question as to the ratio are matters of detail wbioh could only be anpropriately determined when this government was ready to try alone the experiment of restoring silver to coinage. lam in favor of the maintenance of a stable onrrenoy aud I will never favor any proposition that threatens to nnaettle valuas and to demoralise our money system.”

This spring he bought 2,000 pounds of salt, scattered it over the pound, and one dayreoently found a spring completely stopped up with out worms. 1 hey had gone there to get rid of the salt. He removed at least a bushel of the pests and then burned them.

Result of Democratic Admin* istration. Higher praises could not be bestowed upon a political party than that which is implied in the d ily reports of industrial revivals and wage increases. Take, for instance, a summary published in the Globe-Democrat Saturday- In the great manufacturing district of the oountry, embracing New England and the Middle states, this is tne condition reported: More than 80 important industrial undertaking!-, whioh had been idle, have staited up since A: ril 1, giving employment toßo,ooooper< stives and workmen. B>me of these have already enjoyed advances in wages, votantanl v offered in most instances. The r9ports? how that at the point* covered no fewer than 140,000 indnstrial employes

are receiving higher wages‘than they were getting two Months ago, an average improvement of nearly 10 per oent. During the like pe-. riod only 31,000 industrial employes in the region specified had struck for any reason, and of this total only 21 tor higher wages. In the interior manufacturing district, between Cleveland on the east and Denver on the wc9t, 90 important establishments have started their wheels since April l, new|employmant has been furnished to 21,000 people and the waof 28,000 more have been raised about 10 per sent And this is the r< suit of practical tariff reform and democratic rule.ff Agricultural products have all risen in price. Cotton and corn, the two great sources of farm profit, have reached higher points than for several years. W hou the democratic party took hold, trade had suffered from the MoKiuley tariff and confidence in the Government’s currency had been shaken by wastefulness and blunders. The republican panic was too well under way to be once stopped. Two years have passed and the republican wrecks have been cleared away. The democratic tariff is raisin'* wages and proving that MoKinleyism is the enemy of American labor. Freely moving, natural trade gives the highest returns and the steadiest employment. Manufacturing progress has never depended udou the nigh protection whioh breeds trusts aud shut-downs. Low tariffs make higher wages. Prohibitive tariffs and pauper wa ges go together everv where. The um of the mill is the democrats doctrine of tariff for revenve set tomusio.—Bt. Louis Republic.

Diicredited McKinleyitea. !> Day after day oome ohaertag reporta from all over the country The news oolumus of the Ohrouiole show in a single issue ‘bat: The Cleveland, 0., Bolling Mill Company has raised wages of 600 employes 10 per oenl Howard Harrison iron works, Bessemer, Ala., has raised the wages of 1,600 employes 10 per cent. Ames iron works at Oswega, N. Y , has made a like advance. Iron Trade Review of Cleveland, says: “The week has brought the regular quota of advances m prioes and wageß to the iron and steel industry. Mahoning valley furnacemen have granted their employes a second increase of 10 per cent., tcllowing the pace Bet in the Bhenango valley a few weeks ago, and eastern steel works have announced higher rates effective in July.” It was the ory of McKinley ism, ns of MoKiuley himself, that the democratic party in the Wilson bill proposed deliberately the destruction of industries, particularly the great iron and steel industries of the country. The Wilson law provided for decided reduction in the schedule regarding metals and manufactures thereof. Because this reduction was proposed protectionists the country over fairly screamed their denunciation of democracy as the enemy of the industiies ot the country. They claimed to workingmen that starvation must follow legislation of this character. They insisted that the consummation of the utter ruin of American industries for the benefit of industries abroad was the purpose of the Wilson bill. ‘By their fruits,’ saith scripture, shall 'you know them.’ By the condition of industries in this country to-day, by the voluntary increased wages to employes in all such industries,we mly learn how false, how absurd, how utterly selfish was the ory of MaKiiileyism As this country approximates conditions of fiee trade its manufactures improve, and it is safe to say that after the experience of the country under the Wilson bill, whioh in the mai. but provided|a reduction of taxation to the extent of 50 per cent, there will be no desire to return to the outrageous schedules of the McKinley bill. Democracy failad of its entire duty in the matter of tariff legislation, but it took a notable and salutary step forward —Chicago Chronicle.

Cause of the Business Distress. With the tide of business activity rising and prosperity smiling benignantly on industry in every seotiou of the country, tne present is a suitable time to review the eventß of the past with a view to ascertaining by careful inquiry the causes which produced the calam ity from whioh we have suffered during the two years just closed. There is no effect without a cause, nd in tfcis country of plenty there can be no widespread distress without some reason for it. A careful examination of the events of the past few years ought to disclose tne causes which brought about the business depression,

NUMBER 25

In 1889, when President Harris son entered upon his term of office as President there was a surplus in the treasury amounting to up*» ward of $300,000,000. Nearly all this vast sum was in gold, and the credit of the government was higher than it had ever been before. The revenues were redundant and the debts were paid as fast as the holders of the obligations would su. render tl em. One year later s he McKinley law was enacted. It increased taxes enormously and reduced the revenues. The result was sd attack ou the treasury reserve, not interest bearing debts, but to meat current expenses. The amount dwindled from week to week until it was exhausted. Then a sacred trust fund was oovered in ancTbefore the expiras tion « f the term even that fund, amounting to $64,000,000, disappeared . The country was on the verge of bankruptcy. The Sect etary of the Treasury, Charles Foster, appealed to the banks just like au exhausted spendthrift resorts to the pawnbroker, and the oonsequence was au alarm that led to tne panio. When the Harrison admioistration ended its term of office the country was bankrupt. The revenues were inadequate to meet thb current expenses of the govern» ment, and with an empty Treasury there werß obligations due amounting to more than #60,000,000. The foreign holders of|| all kinds of Amenoan securities demanded liquidation, whioh caused a depreoieiatiun in values and resulted in the panio. The inauguration of Cleveland checked the disaster for a time, but iu the absence of ma teriai it was impossible to stay it permanently. The consequences was that hard times oame and run their course. The repeal of the MoKinley law restored confidence, and prosperity has come again to reward the patienoe and effort of the dull period —Kansas City Times.

Eloquence of Figures. Republican papers that have worked themselves into a state of of mind over a probable deficit of •47,000,000 for ne government fiscal year ending on June 80—that being the first fraction of a year under the Wilson law—are conveniently deaf, dumb and blind to the faci that for the preceding fiscal year -1 hat being the last year of the MoKinley law—the deficiency was over $70,000,000. For the information of the republican papers of Pittsburg we annex the statement of governmsnt finances for tVe fiscal year ending June 30, 1894. Expenditures $367,746,867 Revenues 297,722,019 -t Deficiency $70,024,848 Th i custom revenue this year, being th? last fiscal vear under the McKinley law, compared with the customs revenues under the last year of the preceding tariff of’ 83 stands as follows: Fiscal year 1890, under tariff of|’B3 $229,668,586 Irisoal year ’94, under McKinley tariff.... 131,818,531 Decrease of revenues under McKinley law, $97,860,054 It is our duty to make frequent presentation iu one form or another of these figures, but tbey fail to awaken a response trom our republican neighbors, who continue to harp on the probatle deficiency tor the cun cut year, ten months of which is under the Wilson tariff. Yet tne deficiency, big as it is wdl fall over $20,000,000 behind the deficiency under the last year of tne McKinley law. This points to cne irresistable conclusion, and that is, K the|Mc« Kinley law had been in operation the whole of the current fiscal year, the deficiency would have been probably double what it is likely to te under the Wilson law. -Phil adelphia Record.
