In the reports on foreljcn commerce and Navigation of the United States for the year ending June 28. 1S9j, on page 40, la found a table giving the per centage of our total exchange of mer chandise, by countries, during the year ending June 30, 1895. From this table we learn th following factB: PERCENT AO E OF TRADE WITH UOllD STANDARD COUNTRIES. With- , l'er I'nlted Kingdom " f lrtTiuliv ll.W France British America Netherlands .... 6.08 " 3.84 2.02 1.35 Hrlllsn Australia Belgium s-u These countries are all on a gold standard, and it will thus be seen that S3.06 per cent, of all the foreign trade of the United States Is with gold standard countries. From these reports we find, also, that 65.74 per cent, of all the export trade of the United States Is with the United Kingdom and British North America. Our people ought to bear this in mind and cease their denunciation of Great Britain. Many seem to have an Idea that Great Britain is the greatest enemy we have, simply because she in sists upon a gold stanuara; out ii iv will take Into considerably- standard that more than.Jfconsiderahly more export ..Jtrniilf is with Great Br tain hKI her provinces, they will discover that in opposing and traducing Great Britain they are tigiiting their very best friend. Our trade with sliver standard coun tries Is as follows: Per cent. Mexico 1.86 Central American States 82 Julian 67 Argentina 55 VelH'ZUulu 40 Hawaiian Islands 46 China 45 British Isles 35 Our exports to silver standard coun tries for ten months, to June, 1896, were $60,200,993, while to gold standard coun tries they were $689,243,520, or more than eleven times as much. Our imports during the ten months from silver standard countries were $184,206,584. while from gold standard countries tney were $482,0S4,D73. or nearly three times as much. From these llgtires It will be seen that our exports to gold standard coun tries were $629,042,527 more In ten months than to silver standard coun tries. Our Imports from gold standard countries were $297,877,989 more. Hence, It Is apparent that the most profitable part of our trade Is with gold standard countries. The Per Capita of Money in Silver and in Gold Stnndnrd Countries. We hear much said by free silver ad vocates about the great business pros perity of Mexico and other silver stand ard countries; that the reason those countries are "so much more prosper ous" than we are is because they have the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver, and thus more money and that the cause of low prices litre Is want of money. Now let us look at the latest official statistics giving the facts about money In the principal nations of the world, copied from the finance reports, as follows: Countries. Money per capita. China, exclusive silver l.so Turkey, bimetallic 2.39 Norway, gold $.71 India, mainly sliver 3.44 Jaiwn, gold and silver 4.W Mexico, sliver f.W Sweden, gold 6.00 Russia, silver 8.17 Italy, gold and silver 9..ri9 Denmark, gold 11.72 Australia, gold 16.05 Germany, gold 18.56 Egypt, gold I9.j(5 Netherlands, gold and silver 21.31 United Kingdom, gold 20.44- United States, gold and silver 26.02 Belgium, gold and silver ai.70 France, gold and sliver 36.81 The Straits 28.91 The United Kingdom, United States, France, Germany and Sweden are as prosperous. If not more so, than any silver standard country mentioned. , Mexico, with all the boast made of her prosperity, has only $5 per capita of money, while the United States, with her bimetallic currency, has over $26.02 per capita of money, and has at least $21.50 in circulation, according to latest figures. The United States, according to this, has nearly four times as much money, and she has twice as much sil ver per capita, as Mexico; and yet the free silver advocates Insist that the low price of all products in this country Is uuc iv me. amuii volume or money in circulation, caused by a contraction of the currency by the act of 1873. These facts ought to make all reasoning men see that such theories are false. The trouble with the country Is not want of money or good money, but want of confidence due to a change of admin istration and the putting of a party In power that was In favor of lowering the duties, on foreign products, thus ruining the Industries, and at the same time threatening to change the stand ard of our money from gold to sliver. Foreign Trade of Leading Commcr cial Nations. The reports of commerce and navi gation for April, corrected to June 1, 1896, contain a table giving the amount of foreign commerce of the four lead ing commercial nations xt the world, as follows: Country Amount. $3,3111, 318,870 1,85'),511,920 l.liW.'iSS.iMO 1.5H.IW1.3C9 United Kingdom J" ranee ., Germany United States It will be seen from these figures that the foreign commerce of Great Britain is $1,610,749,950 a year more than that of France; $1.70,830.830 more than that of Germany, and $1,810,714,501 more than that of the United States The foreign trade of Great Britain is $272,110,132 more than twice (bat of the United Bute. ii ii ir iiivini mi nint i"ui ii n - : from Page & Tv.a fnpAimi rammerde of France Is $305,964,551 more than that of the Vnlt?d Ktataa and tnnt or tiermany is 671 more. The United States Is the r.Mirth nmintrv In ' the world In the The fnrelirn trade of Great Britain being so much larger than that of other nations makes her capital me iiwij .ant,. nf iha tvnrld and enables her to dictate to other countries th.? standard of value or money on which their trade with her shall be carried on. ne n found that gold Is the best standard tr nrhnipiiiile nr International trade, and all countries that trade with her must do so on the goiu sianuaru. Immigration as Affected by Change of Parties. r--m lest m 1893. the number of lm migrants during the different adminis trations, has been as follows: fi-fl.l,l ami Arthur ...1881-85 2.717.230 Cleveland 1WB-89 Harrison 1889-93 2.1k.,17 Th. immliri'Rtlnn during Garfield and Arthur's form was 841.001 more than rtnrinir Cleveland's fltst term. During thf four v-ears of Harrison's admlnls. tratlon the number of Immigrants was 2S3.938 more than during tne lour yeuia rt rlovnlfllllVl. The number of immigrants arriving In 1879, the year that specie payments r..unmoil vena onlv 197.954. while In iiiii nftf.r a venr of resumption of specie payments, there were 480,196 ar rivals. In 1S92, the last year of Harri son's administration, there were 644, 373 arrivals, while in 1893, the first year of Cleveland's present term, there were only 440,783, a falling off of 203.571; and In 1894 there were 356,333 less than n 1892. The number of Immigrants In 1894, under Cleveland's present ad ministration, was 528,252 less than in 1882, under Arthur's administration. Immigration always Increases when business in this country is prosperous, and decreases when business is de pressed, and the facts above stated clearly Indicate that business has beert more prosperous under Republican than under Democratic administra tions. Growth of the Manufacturing Indus, tries of the United States from 1850 to 1800. The census for 1890 contains a report of the manufacturing industries of the United States for each census year from 1850 to 1890. By a comparison of these statistics we learn of the enor mous growth of our manufacturing in dustries during this period.

The Increase In the number of our manufacturing establishments between 1870 and 1880 was only 1,704, this being 110,041 less Increase than between I860 and 1870; the falling off in the Increase of capital between 1870 and 1880 was $436,289,217; In the increase of hand employed, 741.121 : vin the Increase of wages paid, $224,335I25; In the Increase of raw mateiiul usd, $349,025,843; and In the Increase of tli value of the pro ducts It was $1,209,110,017. Hut notice the enormous lncreie In all depart ments between ISSjf and 1890, Immedi ately following the restoration of our paper currency to a gold standard.

Such unparalleled increase speaks volumes for the protection of American Industries and for sound cur rency. Receipts and Expenses of the Govern mrnt During the Different Admin istrntions. We furnish herewith a table showing the total receipts and expenses of the government during the four years of Gartield and Arthur's, of Cleveland's, and of Harrison's administrations, with the last three years of Harrison's, and the first three years of Cleveland's ptesent administration, and give a summary of the changes that occurred nr. follows: Garfield and Arthur (1881-85) joiui receipts Total expenditures .

During the first three years of Cleve land's present administration the ex penditures of the government were $I10.266,Ro9.29 more than the receipts, while during the last three years of Harrison's administration the receipts were $152,498,712.28 more than the ex penditures. The Pnblie Debt at the Close of tho War, and at the Close of Harrison's Administration. On pages 99 and 100 of the report of the secretary of the treasury for 1895 will be found tables giving statements of the public debt on August 31. 1865, and every year thereafter to July 1, 1895.

During the first two years of the pres ent administration both nouses oi con gress were, for the first time since 1860, In control of the Democratic party. During Cleveland's present term thre has already been added to the interest- bearing debt over $262,000,000. which makes an nnnunl addition of over $87 000.000. and an Increase of the annual interest of over J6.000.000. This great change in regard to the public debt Is malnlv due to the ef forts of President Cleveland and his party to get rid of the surplus revenue of the government, by lowering the duties on foreign products. In all his messages to congress during his first administration, he was pleading to have the surplus revenue cut down by reducing duties, but the Republicans had a maloritv and would not act up on his advice. When he was re-elected in 1892 he secured a congress In favor of a low tariff, and the Gorman Tariff- for-deflclt bill was passed, the result of which we are now experiencing. That bill cut down the revenues be low the expenses, and thirty-year inter est-bearlng bonds have been sold to get money to meet the deficiency. Had coneress passed the Wilson Tariff bill, as the platform promised and as Mr. Cleveland demanded, the government would have been In the hands of a re celver before this time. Receipts and F.xpeuses of the Govern' ment, in 1892, Under Harrison, as Compared with 1805, Under Cleve land.

Another point to be noticed Is the falling off In the revenues of the gov ernment, which was mostly from the following sources: Custom Dues Spirits Tobueco ..t27.2Sri.rt09.27 .. 22,87(1.700.38 .. 1,575,557.94 Decrease $51,738,227.59 Total Decrease In Receipts ....$32,716,004.55 Decrease from Customs, Spir its and Tobacco 51,738,227.59 .. $977,776.96 It seems that the decrease In reve nues since the Democratic partv came in power, all except $977,776.96, has como from lowering the duties on for eign products and reducing the taxa tion on spirits and tobacco. What Is the Matter with the Country? In the foregoing facts we have called attention to the disastrous effects upon a few of the leading Industries of the country resulting from changes of ad ministration and changes of policy, in regard to tariff and money. The facts herein produced have been copied from government official reports, and are the most reliable that can be obtained. If the statistics were available, it would be found thut an Investigation in every department of business would develop similar disasters. A brief reference to some of these we have pointed out may serve to fix them more permanently upon the minds of the voters of this county. These statistics show that since Cleveland's election In 1892 the business of our clearing houses hns been injured to the extent of from $40,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000; that our foreign com merce has been diminished by nearly $1,000,000,000; that our agricultural pro ducts have suffered a depreciation in value of over $1,000,000,000; that there is nearly $1,000,000,000 depreciation In the value of live stock; that the sheep industries have suffered to the extent of about $60,000,000 in the value of the sheep, and over $46,000,000 In the wool crop. The number of new railroads being built has been reduced about, two thirds; the number of passengers car ried has decreased almost 32,000,000 In three years; there has been a decrease of over 31,000,000 In the net earnings, $50,000,000 In tho net receipts, $31,ooo, 000 In the receipts from passengers and $12,000,000 in the dividends. Our exports of agricultural products have decreased $290,780,000. Unfortu nately, we have not the statistics to show how disastrous has been the ef fect upon our manufacturing Industries since the Gorman Tariff bill went Into operation; we know, however, that in many industries the production and prices have decreased almost one-half. The facts In regard to the per capita circulation of money show that It Is not for want of money nor of good money that all this trouble has arisen. That depreciation of prices has not been caused by the demonetization of silver is self-evident; for, according to offi cial reports, there Is at this time $433, 000,000. or about $6 per capita, of standard silver dollars In circulation, whereas previous to 1873 there never had been more than twenty cents per capita. The change of administration and cutting down of duties has reduced the revenues of the government, so that In stead of paying off the public debt at the rate of $70,000,000 a year, wo have added about $87,000,000 annually to tne bonded debt of the country. Now, why this change? The great falling off In all departments of business In the last three years, as Indicated by the fore going statistics, gives a clear Insight Into the conditions of the country at the present time. What, then, is the matter with the country? If such facts as these do not indicate to the Voters of the United States for whom to cast their ballots, we do not know what will. Terrible as has been the outcome of Cleveland's administration, the election of Bryan and his party would more than double the calamities that have already been brought upon the people and the nation, ' mm -A. .-r jfcgctaUcIrcparalioufoT As similating CicToodarAdRcgula tiiy ihc Stomachs and Dowels of ProinotesTHilestion.Chccrful ncss andltest.Contalns ncillicr Opiuin.Morpuiiie norlliflcral.
