The most coiivinciim evideiice nf the tremendous stiviiu'th of our opposition is as follows: iliiit iireat liritiiin and Spain have found it necessary to make reciprocal trade aurccineiits with us fur tlieir West India colonies, and that (lerinany mid Austria have uiven us important concessions in ex change for the continued free importation of tlieir beet suvur. A few details onlv as to the increase of our trade can be niveii here. Taking ail the countries with which such arriinuemeiits have been made, our trade to Jinn- :tu, I'lM had iiicreas,;tl it.ts per cent ; with Hia.il the increase was nearly 11 per cent.; with Cuba iliirin tin first 1eit mouths our exports increased t ,T'je,l'.ia, or .VI si; per cent., and with I'ortu llico ."i!io,'.l.Yi, or ;u per (cut.

No such wide and eaivful inquiry nits ever Dciore nt en made. i Iicse facts appear from the report f irst The cost of articles entering In to the use of those earninn less than (l,u) per milium has decreased tip to May, 8.4 per cent., while in arm products there has been an increase In prices, owiiiK in part to au in creased foreimi ('.eniaml mid the opening of new markets. In I'.nuland during the s'ime period the cost of living increased l.y percent. Tested by their power to pur chase articles of necessity, the eariiiuus of our working people have never been, aa yreat as they are now. Second '1 here has Iss'ii mi average ad vance in the late nf wages of .75 of 1 per cent. Third Then has been nn advance In the price of all farm products of PS.tlT per cent., mi"l of all cereals, naiV.) per cent. The ninth annual report of the chief of the bureau ot labor statistics of the state of New York, a Democrat ic officer, very re cently issued, strongly corroborates, ns to that state, the facts found by thesenatti committee. His extended inquiry shows that In the year following the passage of the tarill act of IV.m the aggregate sum paid in wages in that state was itl,377,!W5 in excess, and the aggregate production ai.;il."),l;10 in excess of the preceding year. In view of this showing of an increase of wages, of a fthictloii in the cost of arti cles of common necessity, and of a marked advance in the prices of agricultural pro ducts, it is plain that this tariff law has not imposed burdens, but has eoiiferrvd bene tits upon the farmer and the working liiiin. Some Siecbil t: licet of the act should lie noticed. It was a courageous attempt to rid our people of a long maintained foreign monopoly in the production of tin plate, pearl buttons, silk jilushj linens, lace, etc. Once or twice in our history the proiluct ion of tin plate had lit eu lUiempted and the prices obtained by the Welsh makers would have enabled our niakers to produce it at a prolit. But the AN'elsh makers at once cut prices to a point that drove the American beginners out of business and. when this was" accomplished again made lluir own prices. A corres piindciit, nf The liiilusl rial World, the nilii aid oruati nf Welsh tin plalu workers, published at Swansea, in the issue of June ltl. is;r, advises a new trial nf these meth ods, lie says: Ho not he ileeeived.

Shrewdly but not quite fairly our ad versaries speak on lluaiiceti. duties put on buttons and other article by the -Mclxiu-ley bill, and omit altogether any reference to the great and bciiclicial nlai''niiient of tlie five list. During tlia last liseal year t las.uni).77'l worth of merchandise, or UV35 per cent, of our total imports, came in free (the largest percent. tue in our history) while in 1W the perceiit iL'e of importa tion was 34.4'..' per cent. The placing; of sugar upon the free list has saved to the consumer in duties ill lifteen mouths, after paying the bounties provided for, Js7,oixi,- IHNI. This relief has been substantially felt in very household upon every Saturday pur chase of the workingman. One of the fa vorite arguments against a protective tar- i-s that it shuts us out from a tuirticipa- t!iiiiit wnat is called, witn swelling em phasis, "The Murkets of tlie World." If this view in not a false one. how does It happen that our commercial competi tors are not able tobear with more. serenity our supposed surrender to them of "the liaiKet, ot the world, and how dues it happen that the partial loss of our market closes foreign tin plale mills and silk plush factories that still have all other markets? Our advantages, our protective tariff and the reciprocity policy make it lossible for us to have u large participation in the markets ot the world' without opening our own competition that would destroy the comfort and independence of our people. Itimctalllsin. The resolution of the convention In fa vor of bi-iiiet!illistn declares, I think, the true and necessary conditions of a move ment that has upon these lines lav cordial adherence and support. I am thoroughly convinced that the free coinage of silver at such a ratio to pud as will maintain the equality of the commercial uses of the two coined 11011:118 would conduce to the pros perity of all tae great producing and com mercial natio is of the world. The one es sential condition is that these dollors shall have and retain nn equal acceptability anil valuo in all cnmntiirclHl transactions. They an? not only a medium of exchange but a measure of values, and when two unequal measures are called iu law by the same name commerce is unset thsl and con fused and the unwary and ignorant are cheated. Dollars of unequal commercial value will net circulate together. The Ix-t-ter dollar is withdrawn and becomes mer chandise. 1 he true interest of all our peo ple anil especially of the fanners and working (H'ople who cannot closely observe the money market, is that every dollar, paper or coin, issued or au thorized by the government shall at all times and in all Us uses be the exact equivalent., not only iu debt paying, but in purchasing power, of any ntherdullar. I am quite sure that if we should now act upnn this subject, independently nf other na tions, we would greatly promote their in terests and injure our own. Monetary conditions in Kurope ivithin the last two years have, I think, tended very much to develop a sentiment iu favor of a larger use of silver ami 1 whs much pleased and encouraged by the cordiality, promptness ami unanimity with which the invitations of this gove nuiciit for an internal ion.tl conference upon (his subject wereaccepted bv all 'he p,-.vi is.

The safety of the republic lies in intelli gent citizenship and the increased interest manifested iu the states in education, the cheerfulness with which tlie necessary taxes are paid by all classes, and the re newed interest manifested by the children in the national flag are hopeful indica tions that the coming generation will di rect public affairs with increased prudence and patriotism. Our interest in free pub lic schools open to all children of suitable age is supreme and our care for them will be jealous and constant. '1 he public school system however, wits not intended to restrain the right of parent to choose other educational agencies for his children. 1 favored aid by the general government to the public schools with a special view to the neces sities of some of the southern states. Hut it is gratifying to notice that many of these states are with commendable liberal ity developing tlieir school systems and increasing tneir school revenues, to the great advantage ot the children of both races. The Attention of the I'ai niers of the whole country is invited to the work done thrcugh the state and agricul ture departments in the interests of agri culture. Our pork products had for ten years Irt-en nearly excluded by the great continental naiimis of Kuropc, and tlieir 7alue discredited by the reasons given for this exclusion. All previous efforts to se cure tin. removal of these restrictions had failed. Hut the wise legislation of the Fifty-first congress providing for the in spection and official certification of our meat, and (,'fving to the president power to forbid the introduction into this country of selected products of such countries as stiouiti continue to retuse our inspected meats, enabled us to open all the markets of Kurnpe to our pork products. Tlie re sult has been not only to sustain prices by providing new markets for our surplus but to add .Mi cents per loo pounds to the market value of inspected meats. Under reciprocity agreements, special avors have been secured for agricultural products and our exports nf such products have been greatly increased with a , pros- pect of further and rapid increase. The agricultural department has main tained iu Kurope an agent w hose special duty it is to introduce there the various nreparations ol corn as articlesol.tood, and ids work has been very successful. The department has also sent skilled veterinar ians to Liverpool to examine, iu connec tion with the Hrilish surgeons the live cattle from the United States lauded at that port and the results in connection with sanitary methods adopted at home have been that we hear of no more cattle being affected with tileuro-pneuinonhi. A judicious system of quarantine lines has prevented the infection of northern cattle with the Texas fever. Tlie tariff bill of ls'.ni ,-U-es better prn tection to farm products subject t" for eign competition than they had before, and the home markets for such products have been enlarged by the establishment of new industries ami development. We niav ci iniilidei.tlv submit to th'e Intel - lieenf and candid judgment of theAmeri-i.-ui farmer whether iu any corresponding period so much bus been done to promote his interests, ami w hether in a continu ance and extension of t U'-e met hods there is not a better prospect offered to him than in the invitation of the Democratic party to give our home market lo foreign manufacturers and to abandon t he reci procity policy, and belter also than the radical ninl uniiicd methods of relief im posed by nt her part h s w hii.li are soliciting ins support .

II those exercising pub lic functions are able, honest, diligent ami fathlul, others possessing all those, quali ties may fie lound to take their places. Hut changes in the laws and in adminis trative policies are of great moment. When public affairs have been given a di rection and business lias ad justed itself to those lilies, any sud den change involves a stoppage and new business adjustments. If the change of direction is so radical as to. bring the com mercial turntable into use, the business changes involved nre U"t readjustments, but rccoiisuuctioiis. The Deniocratio party ollcis a programme of demolition. The protective policy, to which all busi ness, even that of tlie importer, is uow adjusted, the reciprocity policy, the new merchant marine, are all to be demolished, not gradually, not taken down, but blown up. To this program of destruction it has lidded one constructive feature, the re establishment of stale banks of issue. Tlie policy of the Republican party Is, on the other hand, distinctively a policy of safe progression mid development- of new factories, new marines and new ship It will subject business to no perilous changes, but oilers attractive opportunities lor expansion upon familiar Hues.

Suit was filed in Henry county for the puriioso of i overthrowing the gerrymanders of ISSJl and INK) am! reviving the law of 1S7D, which gives Kepiiblicatis more of a fighting chance to win the legislature. The complaint asks for an injunction to restrain the sherill and auditor of the county from issuing election notices under the present law and a mandamus compelling them to proceed in accord ance with tho act of 15711. It sets out in detail the inequalities of tho laws of 1891 and ISSa. The present law gives the Democrats a sure thing of majority on joint ballot. As nearly as can be es timated they would still have ten ma jority if the old law is revived. All tlie defendants and the judge are Republic ans und no lmis'diineiit will bo thrown ll')' them in the way of gettin-' tho suit to the supremo court as quickly ns pos sible. Tho suit is brought in tho inline of S. T. Powell. C. V. Fairbanks, a millionaire aspirant fur thu senate, is backing it. Some of the most promi nent attorneys have been retained.
