THE REPUBLICAN’S SILVER VIEWS

The American people, from tradition and interest, favor bimetallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and under such provisions, io be determined by legislation, as will secure a maintenance.of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold, or paper, shall at all times be equal. The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen, demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government, shall be as good as any other. We commend the wise and patriotic steps already taken by our government to secure an conference to' adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value between gold and silver for use as money throughout the world.—Republican National Platform, 1892. A very pleasing and satisfactory eature of Tuesday’s elections is ound iu the returns from the former strongholds of populism in the west. Iu Nebraska it is now hard to find a populist, while in Kansas, the hot-bed of all the impractical and unreasonable polititical isms known to the country, the populist vote was exceedingly light. It looks as though the legitimate offspring of the defunct greenback party had been apprehended and removed to the same asylum to which its parent was taken a few years ago. It is not in the nature of things that either should be discharged cured.—Jo - iet, IIL, Republican.

The fact that hundreds of people have —written letters to Mr. Gage, of Chicago, to ascertain if he was present at Professor “Coin’s” school shows how grossly deceived thousands have been by the Chicago Inter Ocean’s publication. To state that a prominent man was at a meeting which was never held and to 'make him answer (|U-.st;°:;s that were never asked him is indefensible because it is no better than forgery to give currency to a-statement as coming from a man who never made it. — Indianapolis Journal. Col. Ingersoll, being asked his opinion of the figure the Populist party would cut in the next presidents 1 campaign, answered: “Very little., <-The Populists do not know what they want or how to accomplish it. Their creed is a mass of contradictions and absurdities. They think the government should support the people. The fact is, the people have to support the government. The government is a pauper, a non-producer, and we must take care of it. I do not think that the Populists will have any great influence. That party is growing smaller day by day. If the times get better it will fade from sight.”

GOLD AND SILVER.

The universal use of these two metals existed before the United States did, and when the United States decided to use them for its measures of value its statesmen saw that they must value them as nearly as possible as the rest of the world, because they knew that the world was larger than the United States. Some people do not seem to realize that now, but it is a fact. There are about 60,000,000 people in the United States, but there are 1,487,900,000 people in the world. Now, if that 60,000,000 people of the United States say that they will make 16 flpnees of silver equal to one ounce rtfgoldjjand the remaining 1,528,VVfiOO people of the world aay wey will make 82 oeacee of silver wpHh oae oaaee eC aeld, kt ewht

that th© United States will get the silver as long as it has any gold to pay for it, and when it has no gold it will make no difference what our people say as to the relative value of the two, because it will have only one metal. It would be just like ffman whohasno money offering to pay $1 a bushel for all the wheat in the world. Wheat would not go up a cent. If the people of this country want silver monometalism they can get it quickly and easily by adopting a free coinage law. But the indications are Chat the people do not want silver .monom etalisnt and the Sentinel is of the opinion that this is the only reason in the world why we cannot have free coinage of silver by this country alone.— Indianapolis Sentinel.

The Decline in Our Export Trade.

How much have we realized from the large foreign markets so confidently promised by the Free Traders under —the operation of their pet measure, the Gorman law?. Free-Trade orators, in and out of Congress, never tired in telling their optimistic tales of how the markets of the world were to be captured and converted to the use of American trade and commerce. Mr. Cleveland in his redundant messages to Congress, and in his public utterances everywhere, neglected no opportunity to impress upon the minds of the people that unexampled prosperity would come to the industries of the United States upon the achievement of a tariff reduction law, carrying provisions for free raw material; and particularly maintaining that the free raw material feature would increase enormously the foreign trade of the country and enlarge the sphere and activities of the laboring man. At the end of the year 1894 the. Free-Trade measure had been in operation and under discussion together about one year, much of the ultimate effect being anticipated during its months of discussion before its final passage. The people the country who have observed the march of events need not be told how utterly false the predictions of Mr. Cleveland and his associates were, but to emphasize the facts for those who have not examined them critically, we give a brief review of our export trade for 1894 as compared with that of 1893andd892. ‘

In 1893 it was quite well understood, the Free Trade part being in control of the Government, that a Tariff redaction bill would be passed, hence the decrease in exports during that year through the paralyzing effects cf coming tariff alterations. In 1892, before the November elections, there was little or no apprehension of Free Trade success, and under the operation of the McKinley law, it will be observed that our exports were larger than ever before in the history of American trade. The figures for 1892 and 1893 are taken from the report of the Treasury Department for the fiscal years ending June 30, respectively; for 1894 from the Treasury report for the period ending December 31, of that year:

EXPORTS OF AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND MANUFACTURERS. Year. Value. 1892 $1,030,278,148 1893 847,663,194 1894 825,103,085 Under protection our exports had steadily increased,' rising from $742,401,375 it the year 1889 to $857,828,684 in 1890, and to $884,480,810 in in the year 1891, until reaching the maximum of value in 1892, of more than a billion dollars’ worth of American Goods shipped abioad to foreign countries. In the approach to Free Trade, under the Gorman Tariff, we find a rapidly decreasing foreign trade, with attendant domestic prostration. Instead, therefore, of realizing the larger foreign markets through Democratic legislation, according to the promises of ineompetent Free Trade political economists, we have lost the position of vantage io which our wise Protective policy had elevated wa, Theve is bert eoewqrte mgtea ten lote

ground, and that la by patient perseverance in impressing the facts as they stand upon the minds of the people, and, through the people upon -th© coding Congress Adequate- and - proper Protection must be restored.

From “Way in Mexico.”

The followiag is an extract from a letter from James L. Alter, a well known Jasperite, and a brother of Lewis S. Alter : Cuidad, Juarez, Mexico. March 23, 1895. I am here among the foot hills of the Rocky Mountains, sitting in the hot sun wondering how warm is there. In these parts they seldom have rain and there is no shade except the mountains. But near the Rio Grande they irrigate a great deal. There they have lots of fruit trees which are in full bloom. The Mexicans dress odu; high crowned, broad brimed hats and a scarf around their waists to hold their pants on. The women generally go bareheaded. Some of them are very dark, and homely is no name for them. I thought I saw some ugly people in Indiana, but guess I never did until I came here. They live in one story houses made of pressed blocks about 12 inches square and 4 inches thick, dried in the sun. The roofs are flat, covered with the same material. Sometimes plastered outside and inside with a kind of a white mortar. Such a house would last about a week in Indiana. A few have floors. Their towns are mostly built of stone. The Mexicans are great for pepper etc. They will take an onion, cover it with cayenne pepper and eat it 'down with a relish. Times are very hard but they dare not go in debt, for their creditors can have them put. in. jail, if. only for .5! cents. I stepped into a house that was a store, barber shop and office. There were a number of cocks crowing. They were tied in some convenient place, and whenever trade was dull they would have a cock fight. They have bull fights nearly every Sunday. All kinds of business houses are open on Sunday. In coming to El Paso we crossed about 75 miles of very hilly sandy country, with very little vegetation except cacti and sagebrush. We saw to whs of prairie dogs. It looked like you might step from one hole to another for miles; but as they eat off the grass, the ranchmen are poisoning them by the thousands. Where they irrigate they raise alfalfa for feed. List your land and town property, for sale or trade, with Burget & Penn, the real-estate agents. Their extensive acquaintance with prospective buyers, in Illinois, gives them unusual advantages for quick and favorable sales. Over Twelve Hundred sets of window shades in colors, qualities and prices, never before equalled. You can’t help buying after seeing them .* At Frank B.
