EDITORIAL HENTION.
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. G\, February 22d.

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. One pack-i
age of either guaranteed to !>ive satis- j

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. I have you to thank for my position.
