REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. For Governor, CHARLES W. STONE, of Warren. Subject to the decision of the Republican State Convention.] For President Judge, 15. W. GREEN, of Cameron, Subject to the decision of the Republican District Convention.] EDITORIAL COriMENT. Remember that the Cuban war resolutions were passed by Re publican votes and that the only votes east against tliein in the Senate were given by Democrats, Populists ancl "Silver Republi cans." The Dinglcy law continues to do its duty in the face of the disquiet ing war lalk, which must affect importations. The receipts of the Treasury Department during April up to the present time have aver aged more than a million dollars a day. Any foreigner who wants to hit the American nail on the head now has ample opportunity to do so. Recent ligures of the Treasury Department show that American nails, the product of American factories, are going to all parts of the world, getting as far south as Patagonia and South Africa, and finding purchasers in every direc tion. Wheat is selling in the New York markets at 81.0!). On the day thatMeK iniey was inaugurated it sold in New York at 03 § cents. Ontheday of MeKinley'selection it was sr»v cents. At the date of Bryan's nomination, it: was 04! cents. Two years after Cleveland's inauguration, it was 58 j cents, and in October of 1804, just after (he adoption of the Wilson tariff, it was 1 ■'{ cents per bushel, just half its present price. The recent purchase by the <«ov erament of live large vessels, built at Newport News, Virginia, is another evidence of the growing industrial and manufacturing con ditions in the South, and helps to explain the marked change in pub lic sentiment in that section, which is illustrated by the vote the ! )ingley protect i ve tariff bill received and the large number of votes in both Senate and House, from that section, coining from Democrats and Populists, as well as Republi can members. Every minute since the destruc tion of the Maine has been precious to those who are preparing for war. The cry in Congress and out of Congress for years has been that the United States was absolutely unprepared for war both as to its navy and its coast defenses and those familiar with the situation recognize the wisdom of the Presi dent's course in refusing to accede to the demand for instant action until such steps could be taken as to put the Government and the country upon a war footing. The money in circulation in the United States to-day is 8240,000,- 000 greater than when the Demo cratic convention of 1800 demanded the free coinage of silver in order to increase the money in circula tion. A part of this increase comes from tli" coinage of our own mints, which have, since July 1, ISQO, coined §11:5,448,0H0 of gold, while the imports of gold (coin and bul lion) in excess of the exports, have amounted during that time to over one hundred million dollars.
