1891 and 1892 the purchase of silver
bullion for coinage, and ior the Issue
of treasury notes to represent the coin,
amounted to over 150.000,000 a year, yet
the price of an ounce of silver declined
from $1.2929 in 1873 to $0.6439 In lSita, and
Is still less in 1896.
Decrease in Bank Capital and la

Our
Trade with Gold ana ver
Standard Countries.
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.

f lrtTiuliv ll.W
France
British America
Netherlands ....
6.08
" 3.84
2.02

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:

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

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,

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

In presenting the above statement of
the growth of the manufacturing In
dustries for these decades, we ak spe
cial attention to the slow growth be
tween 1850 and 1860, under the Walker
low tariff, and also to the slow growth
between 1870 and 1880, which, although
we were under a high tariff, was a re
sult of contraction of the paper cur
rency, to bring it to par with coin,
there having been between the close of
the war and 1878 a contraction of legal
tender notes amounting to over $100,
000,000, and a total contraction of cur
rency of about $5.50 per capita.
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.

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

From these figures It will be seen that
the surplus revenue during Garfield and
Arthur's administration was 1201.210.-
063.86 more than It was during Cleve-.
anu s aaminisiration; and during Har
rison's the surplus was $22,666,165.17
more than during Cleveland's.
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. From these tables we ascertain
the following facts:

These figures show an annual reduce
tlon of the public debt from the time
the war closed to the. close or Ham
son's administration of $70,933,411.40.
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.

These facts, obtained from the offi

show a decrease of $15,750,409.33 In the
expenses of the government, of which
$12,777,171.40, all except $3,573,238.33, has
come by cutting down the pensions of
our soldiers.
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

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, '
