In the year ISOO the per capita money in circulation was $1.99. In 1860 it was $13.35, and in 1900 it it $25.98, the high est in the history of the country. The one-time sockless Jerry Simpson is now accused of having sold out the populist party to the silver barons. In fact this is assigned as the reason why Jerry now regularly wears socks. The exports of the country continue to increase, and the Democratic orators who used to tell us that so long as we had a protective tariff foreign markets would be closed to American manu facturers, are now very Bilent on the subject. The calamity men and the I-told-you sos are considerably disappointed at the record in Cuba during the past year, under American administration. The island has not only been made self supporting, but has to her credit for the year 1899 a surplus of §2,260,000. Bradstreet's prints a table compiled from the reports of 3,553 New York State business houses from which it is shown that while in 1896 these con cerns had on their rolls 299,957 em ployes, in 1899 the number had in creased to 356,278. The increase in wages in 1899, as against those paid in 1896, was over $20,000,000. It must have been a deep mortifica tion to Col. Bryan, although it may have opened his eyes, when the South Carolina House of Representatives, after listening intently to his eloquent address, voted down, by a heavy maj ority, resolutions of sympathy lor the Filipinos. On the expansion question, Mr. Bryan finds the South an "enemies' country." "Wherever our flag is raised, there is the spirit of 1776, which is that a man lias rights because he is a man. The question of expansion is simple. We are not at any parting of the ways. If the extension of our principles means right and justice, they cannot be extended too far."— Father Stafford, at the meeting of the Loyal Legion, Washington, I). C., February 22d. The report sent into the Senate in response to a resolution of inquiry in reference to the Delagoa Bay seizure of American fiour shows that while the opposition were talking and doing everything possible to embarass the administration, the administration it self was busy looking after the interests of American citizens in South Africa. The "blunders" of the administration do not materialize into the campaign thunder expected. The Democratic Detroit Free Press remarks that the Democrats of the country would display great tactical ability and saving common sense if they would accept the fact of the en tombment of free silver and fight the battle of 1900 on live issues. The es timable Free Press evidently forgets that Bryan and silver are one and in separable, and that the conceded can didate. even if he would, does not dare to desert the 16-to-l issue, dead and worthless as he realizes i f to be. "The Union you fought for is to-day stronger, mightier, freer than it ever was before. The standard you fought for is stronger than it ever was before. There has been within the past two years a reunion of all the people, a re union sanctified by a common sacrifice. Followers of Grant and Lee have fought with equal valor and have fought in the same cause."—President McKinley to his companions of the military Order of the Loyal Legion, Washington, D.

Tn. .'M-lOlv During the ten years prior to 1899 practically 110 new railroads were built in lowa. And yet last year, owing presumably to our "temporary" prosperity, 552 miles of new road were constructed. The January exports were the largest shown by any January in the history of our foreign commerce —amounting to 8117,020,930. And yet this happened under the pro tective Dingley law, which was branded by Democratic orators as one which must injure the foreign trade of the United States by reason of the fact that it was in tended to exclude foreign products coming into competition with those of the United States. In its official report the Philip ine Commission lias outlined a territorial form of government sim ilar to that proposed and adopted by Jefferson for Louisiana, and the Commission quotes from the words of Jefferson 011 the subject. The bringingto light, from time to time, of Jefferson's pronounced views in favor of expansion must be a serious matter for those Democratic states men who have been parading Jefferson around as an anti-ex pansionist. Owing to the immense antici patory importation just prior to the enactment of the Dingley law, the customs receipts for the month following its passage were only 86,987,702, and the Democratic New York Evening Tost began at once the daily publication of its "Deficits under the I >ingley Tariff." The deficits, however, soon became surpluses after the new law got to working, and then the "Tost" quickly lost interest in the subject. In January. 1900, the receipts were 822,094,279. What does an analysis show of Mr. Bryan's glib chatter that we should not "chain ourselves to Europe's golden chariot?" The natural inference, then, is that we should ally ourselves with the silver countries of the world. Let us see. During the past five years our agricultural exports have been 83,100,000,000, and of this 95 per cent, was sold to European gold standard countries and to Canada, also a gold-standard country. Most of the remaining five per cent, went to the silver countries— Mexico, South America, and Asia— into whose class Mr. Bryan evi dently desires the United States to step. The Silver Democrats in the House are greatly disgused over Sibley's recent stand for prosperity. The Pennsylvania statesman was a tower of strength in the Demo cratic camp during the 1890 cam paign, consequently his present turnabout is keenly felt by his erstwhile colleagues. The other day in Congress he referred to the taunts and gibes constantly directed at him from the Democratic side because of his expansion speech. They might, he said, call him turn coat if it made them feel any better, but he would, nevertheless, turn his coat whenever the inside looked better than the outside. "Some of my Democratic friends," he added, would do well at this time to turn their coats inside out and thus cover the rags and tatters in which they are clothed." Democratic editors and orators who are cackling over the increase in importations omit to point out the importatant fact that this in crease is chiefly in the articles re quired by manufacturers. Hides, rubber, raw silk, fibers, and chem icals, all of which are required in constantly increasing quantities by the busy manufacturers of this country, form a large percent age of the importations, as do also sugar, coffee, cocoa, tropical fruits, and other tropical products re quired for food and drink. Thus the very large proportion of the articles in which there is an in crease in importation is required for use in manufacturing or for food and drink, which shows a healthy and natural growth in our imports, caused by increased busi ness activity at home and increased earnings and prosperity among the consuming population. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH i, 1900. A BUSY WEEK IN CONURESS. Conference Committees Make Hany Amendments to Financial and Puerto Rlcan Bills—Senator Tillman's Anger Roused- Excellent Selections of Senator Allison. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1900. The Finance Bill agreed upon by the House and Senate Conference Com mittee, which will probably become a law without further change, is con sidered a stronger measure than was either the House or Senate bill There was at no time during the con ference any difference between the Republican conferees as to the object sought—to give the U. S. the best financial system and the highest credit; the week's discussion was on how best to accomplish that, and the result is SUCCOBS, and an improvement upon the bills as passed by the two branches of Congress. Senator Aldrich will, 011 Wednesday of this week, make j a detailed statement of the work of j the conferees, explaining why changes > were made, and 011 Thursday the Sen- j ate will vote on the report, which will be adopted by the same vote that passed the Finance bill ten days ago. The Republican members of the House have held two conferences on j the Puerto Rican tariff bill, and as a j consequence, the bill will be amended slightly before being passed. The most significant feature of the meeting of the Democratic National Committee, in Washington, was the power exercised by Ex-Senator Gor man. It was his influence that knocked out the plan, fathered by Mr. Bran, of holding the Democratic convention in advance of the Republican convention, and it was also his influence that caused Kansas City to be chosen for the con vention, after Milwankee seemed to have a cinch. Mr. Gorman's powerful and unexpected influence in the Com mittee is not relished by the Bryan worshippers. He has publicly said that he would support Mr. Bryan if he was nominated, but ho has not said that he will help get him nominated. Mr. Gorman is one of the slickest and most slippery politicians in the coun try, and there is very little doubt that he will keep Mr. Bryan out of the nom ination if hp can find a way to do it. When the Centennial Committee, j composed of Congressmen, Governors j of States and prominent citizens of which is charged with arranging for I the celebration of the 100 th anniversary 1 of the establishment of the seat of gov- j ernment at Washington, endorsed the project of opening a new Federal j avenue from the Capitol to the pro- ! posed Memorial Bridge to Arlington, across the Mall, upon which all future government buildings shall be erected, ! it administered a knock down blow to I the scheme for unloading the south j side of Pennsylvania Avenue on the j Government, as sites for public build- ! ings. The Mall already belongs to the j Government The vote of 34 to 28 by which the j Senate took up the Quay case, is re- ! garded as a test vote, and as showing that when the final vote is taken, Mr. Quay will be seated. The opposition may, if so disposed, delay the final vote by making speeches on the case, ; but they cannot change the result. In the old days a personal reference, < made on the floor of the Senate, by ' Senator Tillman to Senator Morgan would have resulted in pistols and coffee for two, but there is no longer any fighting in Congress, even when such Southern hot-heads as Tillman and Morgan indulge in flinging per sonal insults at each other. The inci dent grew out of the refusal of Senator Morgan, some days before, to give the floor to Tillman in order that he might reply to a taunt of Senator Wolcott, about the "suppressed vote" of South Carolina. Tillman said; "I have felt indignant at the treatment I received from the Senator. Never in my ex perience in the Senate, have I been treated so discourteously by any mem ber of the Senate." At this point Morgan attempted to interrupt him to maka a statement, but Tillman impet uosly waved him aside, and continued: "I decline to yield to the Senator. He has put himself outside of the pale of courtesy and consideration, so far as I am concerned." Senator Allison has chosen for his j fellow members of the Republican | Steering Committee, the following bril liant array of Senatorial talent: Hale, | of Maine; Aldrich, of Rhode Island; Cullom, of 111.; Wolcott, of Colo.; Sewell, of New Jersey; Spooner, of Wisconsin; Mcßride, of Washington, and Hanna, of Ohio. With such able and experienced advisers to arrange the order of business, Republicans can ! be certain that no mistake will be j made by the Senate. We, the undersigned, do hereby j agree to refund the money on two j 25 cent bottles or boxes of Baxter's j Mandrake Bitters, if it fails to cure I constipation, biliousness, sick head- , ache, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour i stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or ! any of the diseases for which it is re- | comnieded. It is highly recommended j as a tonic and blood purifier. Hold liquid in bottles, and tablets in boxes. Price 25 cents for either.

Gentlemen—At forty my hair and mustache began turning rapidly. I had a friend on the road who l.ist his place because his gray hair made him look older han he was. Profiting by bis experience, I began using Hay's Hair-Health, and have used it occa -ionally ever since, with the result that 1 have the same lark-brown curly hair that 1 had at as, and not one of 1 my friends suspects that I use anything to produce this el feet. In a recent discharge of employees on my road ■ have held my position, although many men younger than myself, whose only fault was their gray hair, were 1 summarily dismissed, although as capable as I am of I active service.
