Evidences of the decadence of the silver proposition come from Toledo, where a gold Democrat has been made -chairman of the campaign committee and, according to the Toledo Commercial, “Qn the whole committee there is not, we believe, a single 16-tol Democrat.” Free-trade England finds her exports falling off, while protective United States has increased hers. The London “Economist” states that the January and February exports from England show a falling off of nearly $4,000,000 in value as compared with those months of the preceding year, while our own export figures show an increase of $20,000,000 in January and February compared with the corresponding months of the preceding year. Ten million dollars’ worth of knit goods were imported into the United States every year prior to the enactment of the McKinley law. The encouragement which it gave to that industry in the United States caused the establishment of large numbers of knitting mills in the South, as well as North, and the renewed encouragement given by the Dingley law, is bringing fresh revival in this industry and a further decrease in importations, which are now less than half what they were a few years ago.

“For international bimetallism the Republican party stands pledged. To secure it. all honorable and proper efforts will be put forth; but until it can bo secured, it is manifestly for the interests of our people to preserve, by all proper means, the present gold standard. Through it we measure by the same rule with which our competitors measure, ami by it we contend in the struggle for commercial supremacy with woaponsevonly matched with those of our wellarmed antagonists.''—From Secretary Gago's Cleveland speech.

Bank clearings, which show grent, business activity, are not the only evidences of prosperity. Lastj week’s issues of Brads!reet’s and Dun’s show wonderful activity in all business lines all over the conn-1 try, reports from Chicago, indicating real-estate sales in that city 90 per cent larger than on the corresponding date of last year, and lumber sales the best in years; while from St. Louis come reports

of “a much larger business among jobbers and manufacturers than daring the spring of any recent year.”
