the civilization of for they have the The truth is that tilings that deter
mine the civilization of a nation, the moHt imjortant of any heiny climate; and I apprehend that there in no danger of bringing the climate of Mexico to the L'nited States. hut these Kilver standand nations, compu red to their forrxer condition of live years past, are marveloualy advanced. In the last five years
the extxirts uf Mexico have in-
creasi d more than 50 per cent.
The number of manufactories in
Japan and Mexico have more than doubled and the railroad buildinir
in every silver standard country has
been increasing enormously, while in the gold standard countries, in
stead of an increase in manufact
ories, there has been, during these five years, a shutting down and
closing of them to an extent
known before in the history of
cation. It is true that on account of
famine in India, the shortage of crops in EniOM. and the war between the United States and Spain there has, in the last eighteen months, been an upward tendency in the price of MMN commodities, but when conditions again became normal the same low prices must again prevail. Some people talk about the flood of silver, as if it would be disastrous to a nation should it occur. No nation was ever injured by its people huving an flbui.dance of the precious metals, and instead of being a detriment, it would produce the greatest era of prosperity in the history of this country. Some people think that as soon as a foreigner brought silver to the United States mint and had it coined that there would tie some American with gold chasing him, in order to get him to exchange the silver for a gold dollar. I apprehend that the American people are intelligent and that they are not going to exchange a gold for a silver dollar unless it is to their advantage to do so. When a foreigner brings hissilverto our mints and has it coined into dollars, what is he going to do with his money? You know that a foreign coin will
not circulate in this country, neither will a United States silver dollar circulate in a foreign country, consequently it will do him no good to
take the silver dollars back to his
own country. The only thing that
he can do with them is buy something that we have for sab and we
are not going to sell him any more
of our products than we think his silver dollar is worth.

Don't forget that life is full of checks and many of them are for-
THE CRY OOES UP. The people are not complaining
about the suffering which soldiers
must endure on the field of battle
or in the immediate theater of hostilities. That was orieinallv recoc-
mzed as unavoidable to a degree,
and so far as it was unavoidable
they do not complain, hut where
the sufferings of the soldiers were the result of greed, incompetency
or neglect they want the guilty ex-
jKised and punished. They would have seen our soldiers go barefoot
on toreign trround. and fed on
parched corn, suffering as the fore
fathers suffered at Valley Forge, if necessary, but it makes every patriot's blood boil with honest indignation to know that at Camp Alger, right in sight of the capitol, where there wasnoentray to guard against but disease and the dishonest officials, with millions of money at the command of the War Department, and seventy millions of peo
ple ready to respond to any call of distress, our sons and brothers were permitted to die for want of projx r food, proper medical attention, and proper sanitary regulations. This is a part of the record that whitewash cannot cover up, and penitential tears cannot wash out. They are crimes that cry out against the administration at Washington und appeal to the American people to avenge them at the jmiIIs. Louisville Dispatch.
