It is reported in Washington that an
important dispatch has been received at
ithe Spanish legation from Senor Cano
rvas the Spanish premier in which propo
jsitions are made looking to mediation on
jthe Cuban difficulties According to this
report Senor Canovas accepts the good
offices of the United States and states
the terms which Spain will concede to
the insurgents upon the conditions to be
proposed by the United States It is said
that Senor Canovas assures this govern
ment that Spain fully appreciates the loss
which the commerce of this country has
suffered on account of the Cuban insure
rection and deeply deplores it and that
i a proposition is to be made for the nego
tiation of a treaty of commercial recip
rocity between this country and Spain
which will deal mainly with Cuban prod
ucts and which will be framed in terms so
advantageous to the United States as to
fully compensate the commerce of this
country for the losses which have been
sustained
It is said thatenor Canovas also
ltates clearly that the Spanish Govern
ment cannot agree -to anything which
would place Spain in the attitude of
fing been coerced into entering into an
agreement with the Cuban rebels but
that the good offices of the United States
will be accepted to guarantee to the in
surgents amnesty and the enforcement
of the reforms which will be granted
These reforms are to guarantee to the

severing the bonds between the island

A RACE FOR A GIRDLE
The Contest Between the Overland
Telegraph and theAtlantic Cable
The race course was between the Old
World and the New The racers were
telegraph coiripanles One was called
the Russian Overland the other was
the Atlantic Cable
The track of the Russian lay be
tween New Westminster in British
Columbia and Moscow In Russia Up
through the unexplored Fraser River
Valley it was to run then on through
the untracked wilderness of Alaska
across Bering Strait over the timber
less steppes of Arctic Siberia and
along tfce dreary coast of the Okhotsk
Sea to the mouth of the Amoor There
the American racers called Western
Union were to give over the race to
the Russian telegraph department
which was to make its best time in
reaching Moscow
Western Union said it would cover
the ground in about two years The
cost would be about five millions of
dollars but what five millions of
dollars if the prize could be won an
electric girdle of the earth
The path of the Atlantic cable
was to be on a tableland some two
miles deep in the ocean reaching from
Ireland to Newfoundland
The summer of 1865 found the world
watching this race with great inter
est It opened when the fleet of the
Russian expedition set sail from San
Francisco northward bound The
Atlantic people at the same time
were stowing away gigantic coils of
cable into the capacious hold of the
Great Eastern a new cable some
2000 miles long
The Western Union directors were
shrewd business men Five millions
of dollars was little in comparison with
the benefit they could receive could
they get telegraphic communication
with Europe and they then believed
that the only way was by land Tho
public agreed with them nearly unani
mously And so the two projects the
overland and the submarine were
pitted against each other
A very unequal race It seemed at the
outset The Overland was strong and
vigorous The Atlantic was broken
by former failures The Overland was
popular and had plenty of money
back of it the Atlantic was derided
and only fools it was said would
invest in it
The fleet of the Russian expedition
which sailed from San Francisco in
the summer of 1865 was quite a navy
There were rcean steamers sailing
vessels coast ahd river boats and
Russian and American ships of the
line with a promise of a vessel from
her Majestys navy The expedition
was well officered and about 120 men
were enlisted men of superior ability
in every department The supplies
embraced everything that could be
needed thousands of tons of wire
some 300 miles of cable insulators
wagons etc
August 26 1866 the Great Eastern
dandeYftsbfe at Trinity Bay and
theHyliole world was electrified by
tbft news that it -worked perfectly
ttiatjeTrlory had been won More
than that1 The Great Eastern not
long afterward picked up tho cable lost
the year before and that toowas
soon in working order Two electric
girdles had been clasped around the
learth
The success of the Atlantic was
defeat for the Russian An overland
telegraph line could never compete
with the submarine cables The firat
triumphant click click at Trinity
Bay was therefore the death blow of
the Russian scheme and all work con
nected with that project was at once
abandoned

MEXICOS PROSPERITY
Mexico is satisfied with the silver
standard The governments said Presi
dent Diaz in taking the oatnof office
for the fourth consecutive term on De
cember 1st last will stick to the silver
standard as being in the opinion of
the administration the one best adapt
ed to the country and as affording it
at the present rate of exchange an
Immense protection to home industries
while at the same time securing for
its exports a gold premium which oper
ates as a bounty to tropical planters
Now how does this gold premium
operate as a bounty Take the coffee
planter The silver cost of production
Is no greater to day than ten or twenty
years ago though the gold for which
he sells his coffee is worth twice as
much as it was prior to 1S73 So the
coffee planter sending his coffee to New
York or London and selling it for a
gold price but very little short of that
obtained twenty years agogets twice as
much silver gets twice as much money
for his coffee Thus It Is that the pre
mium on gold not only has nominally
but actually doubled the value of the
crops of the Mexican coffee planter
Is it any wonder he prospers and Is en
larging production and Increasing ship
meats to a marvelous extent
And If we now turn the case around
and look at the effect of this premium
on gold on imports Into Mexico what
do we find We find that though Brit
ish and American manufactured goods
are offered for a smaller gold price than
ten or twenty years ago the price to
the Mexican has Increased for he has
to pay twice as much for the gold he
must give in payment as he was re
quired to pay in 1873 The result has
been a rise In price to the Mexican of
everything bought from abroad And
as silver has kept a stable purchasing
power In Mexico this enhanced price
of foreign goods has served as a power
ful stimulant to domestic manufactur
ing and Mexico as all silver countries
is making marvelous industrial strides
Another cause of the prosperity of
Mexico is that the country is not run
in the interest of stock and wheat gam
blers who regulate matters to suit their
interests rather than that of the general
public Utleys Weekly
Republican Policy
There are strong indications that an
understanding has been reached be
tween tho leaders of the national Re
publican committee and rresident elect
McKInley as to the policy to be at once
carried out at Washington at the close
of the inauguration ceremonies The
principal features of the program from
what has been made public appear to
be an extra session of Congress a new
tariff bill and an effort to restore pros
perity on protective lines It is believ
ed that this policy will appeal strongly
to some of the bolting Republican silver
Senators and have an effective ten
dency to divert public attention from
the financial issue or at least the silver
phase of it
It is not believed that the Republi
cans will favor the retirement of green
backs as part of a plan to take the
Government out of the banking busi
ness and to give the national banks a
monopoly of Issuing the paper money
of the country although strong pressure
will be brought to further such legisla
tion However the Republicans will
take up the money question and make a
move to increase the volume of the cir
culating medium probably by a larger
use of silver as subsidiary money re
taining of course the present gold
standard system It is evident that
silver is to have a sop A show will be
made to prove the sinceritj of that
plank in the Republican platform favor
ing international bimetallism but if
Mr McKInley has his way which is
more than probable since he Is backed
Dy Chairman Hanna the tariff question
with strong protection features will
hold the front position Therefore a
Republican policy is shaping up which
Indicates a greater degree of prosperity
for the trusts and combines and a larg
er measure of poverty for the masses
No Heuard for the Consumer
The almond growers of California ask
for a higher tariff than fixed by the
McKInley law They put the demand
on the ground not only that wages paid
those employed in the almond industry
are higher in Europe than in California
but also that almonds can be brought
to the Eastern markets more cheaply
from Europe than from California In
other words the Eastern consumers
of almonds ought to consent to be taxed
not only for the benefit of the California
capitalist who grows almonds but also
for the benefit of the transcontinental
railroads that transport them Buffalo

What the People Will Not Stand
If the financial policy of the new ad

of hoping that another crisis will not
come for four years a policy of delay
and cowardice then we can say to Mr

Coinage and Bullion Valne
In one week during June 1893 the
commercial ratio between gold and sil
ver changed 20 per cent On Monday it
was 24 to 1 and on Friday following it
was 30 to 1 Why India had in the
meantime closed her mints It stands
to reason surely that if India had im
mediately reopened her mints on the
Monday following say the ratio would
have again become 24 to 1 In ofher
words free coinage resumed In India
by no means a first class commercial
power and a dependency politically
would have Increased the commercial
value of silver 20 per cent India has
no gold at all to give off
The question arises If India with
no gold could by the mere free mint
age of silver increase its relative value
to gold one fifth could not the United
States a mighty commercial nation in
dependent and non tributary to any
power holding one seventh of all the
gold money In the world practically
dictate a ratio We think so
Papers pamphleteers and politicians
of major and minor grade harped on a-50-cent
dollar during the canvass ar
guing that free coinage would in no way
affect the price of bullion They did
this when not offering their silver-mine-owner
conspiracy charges At
tention was called time and again to
the fact that the price of silver had in
variably fallen after not before its ex
clusion from prestige as a primary
money The Indian incident of 1S93
proves this and Democratic editors will
see to it that the people are informed of
the fact The campaign of false pre
tense is history now In 1900 we will
have a real campaign of education
Figures that Mislead
A Chicago paper undertakes to show
that those States have the best credit
that are arrayed1 on the side of gold
The table it presents to prove its case
is entirely misleading whether inten
tionally so or not It sives a sliding
scale of interest charges showing that
some of the States pay on a part of
their bonds a very high interest For
instance in one- Southern common
wealth the figures range from 3V2 to 8
per cent
Unquestionably the high rate is on
bonds issued during the carpet bag re
gime when the people were robbed by
freebooters and political adventurers
Republicans every one of them The
lower rate is on a debt contracted by
Democratic officials since the people
came into possession of their own The
two taken together of course make a
sorry showing
But for daily proof that few Republi
can newspaper writers possess informa
tion extending back to the reconstruc
tion era we would suspect that the
writer knew he was misleading The
more charitable is perhaps the proper
view to take He simply jumbled a lot
of figures together without himself un
derstanding their significance West
ern States securities are also quoted
Of these it is only necessary to say that
since the beginning of our constitu
tional history new States have not been
able to float their bonds as advantage
ously as older ones
Replenishins the Stock of Fat
If instead of rushing into fresh tax
levies every time the government is in
straits Congress would consider how
the expenditures may be judiciously
trimmed the people would be saved
from increased burdens of taxation and
the temptation to jobbery and robbery
offered by enormous revenues would
be removed The trouble with the Re
publicans is that they do not merely
want the revenues and the expenditures
to fit but they want the excuse to levy
new taxes for bounty purposes They
want to recruit the sources of campaign
slush funds St Louis Republic

ficiaries of vicious legislation will prose

Tariff the Parent of Trusts
Trusts cannot be prevented by nega
tive legislation These institutions are
the natural and inevitable results of
general legislation supposed to have nc
relation to trusts So long as that kind
of legislation is encouraged trusts will
flourish If you have a protective tariff
you will have manufacturing trusts
