ItO while it was under consideration. 1 made •She speech which has been so often referred to during the last three years by tbe advocates of free coinage, aad a few sentence* from which they have frequently published. la this speech 1 said, among other things; 'The owertoaded taxpayers of this country, already staggering aad slaking under the bur- • dens imposed upon them by unwise legislation would have been subjected by that provision to a new cxaetloa of «•' oral millions of dollars annually to pay for coming the bullion of capitalist* at home aad abroad. 1 cannot become the adv.cate of Xpch a system, either as -go gold or sliver, and although my vote was gives for the bill as it passed the house under . a suspension of tbe roles, with this feature in . li, 1 dig not approve of it. and then hoped that U would be amended la the se^nate. Ify position oa ibis subject t» briefly thLs: X am opposed to tbe tree coinage of either gold •r sliver, but ia favor of unlimited cctaage of both metal* upon terms of exact equilty. No discrimination should be made la favor of one •medal aad against the other: nor should any <U■crimination be made tn favor of the holders, •of either gold or silver bullion and against •the great body of the people who own other hind* of property. A groat governamst should treat all its citmeas alike, nod whee--wrer it attempt* to do otherwise it will eegeuglgr a feeling of discontent which, aoooer or later must dlaurb the harmony If not the peace wof society It la scarcely necessary to say that a irots > lion would be made between the i metals If the owners of silver bullion were titled to have hi or K cent*, worth of silver i and stamped as a dollar, when the owni of mid bullion warts reauirod to present 100

cents’worth of noM in order to have their metst opined and stamped as u dollar. The two metals ace coined upon terms of exact equality only when a dollar's worth of silver Is contained in the stiver dollar and a dollar’s worth of void is contained in the fold dollar, and when no more is charged for the coinage of one than for the coinage of the other. In the speech referred to, I showed that the ratio established by the coinage act of I7M overvalued sUrer and drove gold out of circulation. • is In conclusion, Mr. Carlisle says: After a careful review of the speech of 1878 I think it would be a perfectly fair interpretation of it to say: “First—That I was opposed to the free coinage of silver. “Second—That I then believed the restoration of the standard silver doUar to the coinage of the United States and a larger use of that metal In this country would not only arrest its deprecistion, but would ultimately restore II to a parity with gold at the ratio of 18 to 1. “Third—That when parity St this ratio had been restored. I was in favor of coining both metals upon terms of exact equality. “Fourth—That I was opposed to the total disuse of silver as a legal tender money in this country. “Fifth—That I was in favor of an international monetary conference to consider the adoption of a common ratio between gold and silver, for the purpose of establishing internationally the use or bimetallic money and securing fixity of value between those metals. “Upon some of these propositions my opinions ha ve undergone a complete change, and l hare made no attempt to suppress or conceal the fact. My official course as secretary of the treasury, snd my speeches upon the subject of the currency are sufficient. I think, to show ! quite clearly what my present opinions are, and it is not necessary, therefore, to restate them in this letter, which is already ihuch too ] long. Very truly yours, John G.

GIROSVENOR-S ESTIMATES. H« Flr>rai Out a Clear Majority for McKinley at the tit Lnuit Centvetttloa After UroppiDK All CodImimI Delegate* Washixatox, May 17.—Gen. Grosvenor gave out his final bulletin last night. In it he said: "Last week closed the election of delegates to the St. Louis convention, and McKinley was indorsed by all the states which expressed an opiniou during the week—Washington, Wyoming, West Virginia and North Caro- j lina. The free-silver states, of course, I refused the indorsement of McKinley, j and their delegates are uninstructed j as to persons, but they have received peremptory orders as to principles, j T|cis are now elected 918 delegates, j but four in Arizona, four in New Mex- , ico and four in Oklahoma must depend upon the future action of the national Convention for seats in that body, the official call authorizing them to elect only two delegates in each of i the territories. | “The following states have elected either solid McKinley delegations or delegations with a majority of Me- { Kinley men, so that it may be conceded that McKinley's followers will control these states, to wit: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, l Arizona. Florida. Georgia, Illinois. Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi. Missouri, Ne-! braska. New Jersey, North Carolina, Nprth Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia. Washington, West Virginia. Wisconsin. Wyoming and the territories of New Mexico and Oklahoma. Only three of these, states J have contests for the entire delega-; tior.s, and throwing them out there j would be left 29 McKinley states and territories to elect members of the committee on credentials.” , Gen. Grosvenor figures on a total of 562 votes for McKinley, including, however, some that are contested, and in respect of this he says: “If all the contested delegates in ail of the states which are for McKinley are thrown out and the votes of the j contesting delegates given solidly to j some other candidate it will not affect the result. I stand by my estimate of : more than two weeks ago that if there ! shall be a completed roll call, McKinley will have 600 votes.” In conclusion. Gen. Grosvenor says: “The support accorded to Gov. McKinley in the country at large has ; been greatly intensified duridg the week and strong assurances of support have come from men who up to this time have supported other candidates. The attack upon McKinley emanating from New York upon the question of money lias aroused a great deal of bitter feeling among distinguished republicans. 8 THE AMERICAN FLOUR TRADE With Ernador Soffrriiic Irom Chi Use Competition and Mich Freights, fir Washixotox. May 17.—The Amen can flour trade at Guayaquil, Ecuador, is suffering very seriously from Chilian competition, according to a re- ] port received at the state department from George D. Dillard, United States consul general' at Guayaquil. The merchants explain j that since the Pacific Mail line has 1 now no competitor, it has put up the freights so high that ^purchasers can not afford to order m»m San Fran-: cisco. Mr. Dillard thinks this state of things will continue only until the consumers begin to complain of j the poor bread made from Chilianj flour, bat as the Chilians are constant- \ lv improving their methods he advise* j American shippers not to wait for that : event. “If the people here.** he adds, j “once become reconciled to bread made of Chilian flour our exports of flour to { this market will almost entirely cease." , SIX PERSONS INJURED S}> ta Explo^|on of Cos In a Chlcwga ■ Water TsbmL Chicago, May 17.—An explosion of gas which occurred last night in a 'water tunnel being built fromChicago to the lake crib injured six people, and endangered the lives of many more.

FARMERS AND PROJECTION. For UO Years Tim? Were Compelled te Pay Million* ta Unjust Taxation. This country was settled by the tillers of tbe soiL It was the farmers who cleared away the forest*, fought Indians and wild beasts, and in later years achieved the country’s freedom from the tyranny of foreign rulers. It has been the farmers who have pushed the lines of civilization steadily west* ward and have occupied the great prairies and fertile river valleys. Jit is the ever increasing number of those who live by cultivating the earth that has created markets for the diversified industries which have sprung up all over the country. The true basis of ail the nation’s industrial and commercial greatness has been in the millions of farms, and not in the manufacturing cities and towns. At the present lime the farmers greatly outnumber those who are engaged in manufacturing pursuits. As ours is a government which is claimed to represent the wbofe people it might naturally be supposed that the interests of the majority were the first consideration of national legislations. A brief exammatiop“wiH--#l*6w whether such is the fact. J T|ie census (returns for 1830 show that the farm products of the United States in the last census year were valued at $?, 503,000, UOX la the same year the products of the American manufacturers were valued at 59.500,000,000, or more than four times greater in value than the farm products. For this remarkable result of the larger number of persons producing a comparatively small share of the annual wealth of the country there must be some sufficient reason. What that reason is is not hard to find. It is in part that for over 30 years the republican party maintained a most iniquitous system of taxation which fell with crushing weight upon the American farmer. Under the pretense of creating a home market for their products the farmers were compelled to pay billions of dollars in unjust' taxation, and billions more in high prices extorted by the favored objects of class legislation. The protected manufacturers were subsidized with money wrung from tbe unprotected farmers. Instead of helping the great foundation industry of the country,” it was, oppressed by laws which brought ruin and poverty to hundreds of thousands. The reeord of 33 years of republican rule was one of continued discrimination against the men whose unwearied toil had made this great common wealth. This is why there has been so mnch poverty and discontent among the farmers; why the price of farm lands has steadily fallen in many states; wny tbs young mep have left the rural districts and crowded into the cities and towns. Is it not time to protest against the attempt of the monopolists who control the republican machine, to restore and extend the system which has provejjl such a curse to the farming industry?

AN AGED CHESTNUT. N>w Hampshire Republicans Adapt the One That “the Foreigner I’ajs the Tax.” The New Hampshire republican state convention distinguished itself by inserting in its platform the old high tariff chestnut: “The foreigner pays the tax.” After some stereotyped abuse of the democracy for “three years of disappointment, privation and distress,” the Granite state republicans demanded “the speedy repeal of the democratic tariff and the substitution thereof of one based upon the principles of the McKinley act, for the procurement of national revenues as far as possible from foreigners who market their merchandise in competition with our productions.” It is just possible that the benighted MeKinleyites of New Hampshire are still living in the mists and darkness of the ages when it was believed that taxes on imports were paid bv the foreign producer. Whether real or assumed their ignorance shows that in spite of our great public school system there is still a deplorable need of the study of elementary arithmetic. If the men who talk of collecting reve- j niies from foreigners were able to add and subtract correctly, they would not try to impose their theory on the public. The notion.that duties on goods are not paid by the consumer cannot be honestly held by anyone who understands that two and two make four, or that five from six leaves one. The facts of every-day business experience show so plainly the absurdity of the delusion that we can tax the people of other countries for the support of our government, that it is unnecessary, to seriously argue against it. A mind so constituted that it believes that although the importer adds the customs duties to the price of the gotods he buys from abroad, and the retailer charges the tariff tax to the price at which the goods are finally sold, the foreign producer pays the additional cost due to the tariff cannot be influenced by facts or logic. The idea put into the platform of the New Hampshire republicans is not a doctrine or a theory, but a superstition, and will only disappear when the people become generally enlightened. In \ IS92 a majority of more than 1.000,000 j Americans by tbeir votes showed that * they know who pays the tariff taxes, j In 1890 the majority against McKin- j ley’s scheme for higher duties should j he* even larger. By 1946 even the New j Hampshire protectionists may find out that taxes are always paid by the consumers of the goods on which they are imposed. _ —T**a New York Tribune, a leading republican paper, calls trusts “enemies of the people.” Tet the Tribune is doing all in its power to persnade tbe people to nominate for president, Maj. McKinley, the friend and agent of trusts and monopolies. If trnsts rob the public through special privileges. It would seem that the way to destroy ♦heir powers for evil weald be to abolish tbe tariff taxes which enable them to charge high prices. What do the people who are bled by the trusts think about iit

A KINDERGARTEN LESSON. AaEzpoMol U>« Theory WM«h Underlie* 1 the McKinley High Tariff Swindle. The theory of trade prohibition which underlies the high tariff swindle was laid down in a recent speech by Maj. McKinley as follows. “Every shipload of foreign products that we j buy displaces just that quantity that is made in the United States, and as you displace this quantity you displace the requisite labor required to make it in the United States." If this assertion is true it would fol* low that all trade is an evil since the purchase by one section of a country of goods from another section would displace domestic products of a value equal to the imported goods Thus the sale of a car load of hay from New York state in Massachusetts must dis* place a portion of the hay crop of the latter state. According to Maj. McKinley's economy this would injure the Massachusetts farmer, and would deprive labor of employment Voters who have reached even the kindergarten stage of political economy know that the McKinley idea is wholly a fallacy. New York hay is shipped to Massachusetts only when it can be sold at a profit. 9 Instead of displacing the labor products of Massachusetts it creates a demand for them, as the New York farmer must take something produced by labor in exchange for his hay. That something may be boots, cotton, barb wire or money. In either case it* production gives employment to labor. Exactly the same is true if instead of coming from New York the hay was raised in Canada, or any other foreign country. The Canadian farmer sells hay because he wants goods made by the labor of New York or Massachusetts. He does not give away his products.'but takes back a quantity of goods equal in value to what he sells. The result of the business transactions which Maj. McKinley «yants to stop by high tariff, is that the people of New York who want hay, and the farmers of Canada who want goods, are both benefitted by getting what they want cheaper than they can pro duce them for themselves. This is the ultimate object of all commerce, as well as of labor-saving inventions, improved methods of transportation, th* diversification of industries and the civilized arts. jk If foreigh goods displace outiP^oducts. the goot|s we ship abroad must displace tho&e of countries with whict we trade. Were trade-prohibiting tar iffs made universal we should lose our markets for nearly $900,000,000 wort! of goods, which we now export anna ally. What do the American farmers who complain because prices are al ready too low, or American workmen who are idle because there is an over production of goods which cannot find a market, think of the Ohio polijr which if carried out by other countries would leave us with product* worth $900,990,000 unsold? W^dd^Gbaham.

FREE TRADE IN FRANCE. Ad Eocoar«(lnc Mien of the Growth n I Soil ml Feonomte Principle*. An encouraging sign of the growth of sound economic principles is show 1 in the establishment in Paris, France;, of a Free Trade league. The new oil* ganization has been formed for tbi purpose of carrying on a vigorous educational campaign against protection. It is proposed to act through the medium of chan^bers of commerce an 1 other committees of business men lit creating public sentiment in favor c f lower tariff duties In an address to the people M. Rohn. the president of the league, says: “France loses annually 1,500,000 francs5 (5285,000) througi the protective system. Germany ;* getting the better of us in the princ * pal markets of the world, and we arc willfully repulsing friendly peoplts who used to be our best customers. If it is useless to attempt the conversion of the men bound to the pernicioi s laws which enrich them, it is time to shake the indifference, enlighten tie economic ignorance of the greatest number, and prepare a distinctly frt e trade programme for the nest legislative elections. We know already thi;t the public powers are disposed to translate into laws the grievances of ti e immense majority of consumers.” Until recently the unsettled political j contritions bf France have kept that tariff issue in the background. Wit h j the prospect that the republic is no * j firmly established it i*Ato be hope d that ere long the unrepublican system i of protection favors to monopolists j will be swept away, and the old French j doctrines of liberty and equality »f ! rights be established in its stead. Railroad Famine* Increasing. The Financial Chronicle, an author- | ity on business matters, states that the comings of the railroads of the Unibid i States during the month of February j were 12.8 per cent. Larger than for last | year, and that the tonnage on the western roads is greater than for t le same month in 1803 or any subsequent : year. This means that more goods lire j being produced and sold, and come- I quently that the country is becoming | more prosperous. Calamity organs j will please explain this improved busi- j ness for the railibada. Is it possible j that in spite of the doleful predictions, j of the trade-hating McKinleyites the people are buying and selling more tbau in 1893. when protection was the country's policy? —Prices of staple farm products are low. and farmers complain that the railroadjfreights eat up all the profits on their crops. Hot the railroads bate to pay the trusts price of $29 per ton for steel rails, while the same rails are sold to Japan and Canada for less than $31 The additonal $7 comes out of the farmers’ pockets. Is It any wonder that freights are high? —The orotected steel trust keeps the price of steel at least eight dollars per ton higher than it would be under free tride. The farmer who has to pay more for a steel harrow this spring is contributing to the profits of the truaJ •ntilioaairea. Does he like it?
