for a hundred y ? ns has been eager?
ly r? ad by a large ches ot intelligent

tinctively Southern and notwith?

it richly deserves the large patronage
which it has v,. loi g < njoyed.

liaecL
This would certainly be sn tffec
tive mode of reaching them. The
growth of tl <ts has been so rapid in
this country that il they are not in
some way cheeked, it is probable
that the effort will be made to em
brace liol only the manufacturers of
thin country but those ol the entire
ci\ ilized world.
Many articles hsvs been advanced
from twenty-five to one hundred p<tr
cent, and this exhorbitant advance
enriches the wealthy and impoverishes
the poor.
Heretofore, one of the srgnmenta
ol thn advocates ofs protective tariff
was that it so encouraged the build
ing of manufactories at home thal
compituion woultl k> t p down ino
prices Now that combination hai
taken the plscc of competition at
home, am] the protective tariff pre?
vents competition from abroad, tin
great mass ot the poople are nt thf
mercy of tl <"?e gigantic mists. After
thc manufacture <>f all our goods i*
under the control of these gigantic
moneyed corporations, i* there not
dsngerthsft the manufacture of our
Inws will be controlled hy tlie esme
combinalions. The danger is really
greater than we have ever dreamed.
GOLD AND SILVEK.
Tbs Engineering .-md Mining Jour?
nal finds that the total production < I
gold ia the year 1899 wai for the en
tiru world 9813,964 ; ? -^, nu inc? i
of 1*4,800,089 ovsi the precedini!
year. The lossofyesrlj product due
to the war in South Africa is estimat?
ed at |20,000,ooo. The gold output
of the United States was$78,488,06.*;
of Australasia, 178,099,171; of I he
Transvaal #7::,1? 18,660; of Russia,
$24,072344; of Canada $18,049,5*8;
of Mexico $9,277,3.">1; of JJritish In?
dia ?8,496,1171; of China, |f?,041,1 yo.
Rhodesia sppSSfl among the minor
producers of gold, her production
reaching 91,110,909b The war seems
not to have interfered, so far, with
the Rhodesian output. As the rieh
ness ot the mmes there has boen de?
monstrated by the practical tests of
working, a large increase of product
is expected when more maehinei \ ii
introduced. The three (iuianas are
credited with an output of 3,844,002
dollars, Columbia with 3,700,000 dol?
lars, Brasil with -2,531,087 dollars,
Hungary willi 9^998,98*1 dollar* and
Korea with 1,094,000 dollars.
Tlie rilver production of the Unit
cd States was about 63,000,000 ounces
or 4,000,000ounces more than iu 1898.
The juice hns ranged from 01.2 cents
an ounce in May to 57.9 cents in
October. The average tor the vear
was 69 5 cents, againal 68.9 cents in
1898 and 59 7 cents in lSS7. Chi ia
and other Eastern countries have t. k>
en inert aw tl qusiititiii of silver*
There was an outward movement of
g??!d in Deeei iher Bpproxiinatiug 15,
001,11 0, dollars and this movement
still continues, being caused by the
London demand. It is to ns noted
that thia outflow is small shen ooin
pared with the addition of 72,400,000
dollars m.nie to our stock dining the
year by our mines. We not onl\ ob?
tained considerable amount by im?
portation?the excess ot imports
over exports waa 12,192,818?but we
retained nearly all of our own large
productlOU. Our stock ol gold, even
without imports and in spite of the
exports, is constantly being increased
and is now the largest ever recorded,
Our exports of silver in I89t exceed?

BRYAN ON ANNEXATION,
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 14?Hon.
W. J. lilyan passed through Kansas
Cit} yesterday.
Asked .-.bout his Mimics polis inter
view, in which he S'aa re|H>rted asex
}.i. using views ta\ orable to certain
forms of"expansion, Mr. Divan said:
?I have lor one year been discuss?
ing imperialism, and J have tried lo
distinguish hets cen sin-ii an extension
of the nation's limits as would liol
change the character of the govern?
ment and an expansion which con
\t rta a homogeneous republic into a
heterogeneous empire.
"When the annexation of any given
territory is under .consideration the
question is, tit st, whether the people
w ant to come in; and, second, wheth
? r the people are capable ol sharing
in I he government and destiny of
lliis nation. I believe that all people
.ve capable of governing themselves,
and ihat the Filipinos should be al?
lowed to govern themselves, but 1
do not think that they are sufficient?
ly advanced to share with us the gov?
ernment of the nation.
"lt the Philippine Islands are an?
nexed lin- people there must either
become citiiens or subjects, I am
not willing to admit them as citizen*,
and do no! believe that a republic c n
have subjects; thereto!e, i want th a
nation lo u'lve Hiern independence
and then protect them from outside
intertereuoe. Each pr posed snnexs'
tlOU must bs considered Upon its own
merits, but in OOUsidsring these mer?
its the condif ion of the people should
have more weight than geographical
position or commercial advantages."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Cerre8i?ondent.)
Washington, Jan. 15?Congress
has nothing to brag of hi the shape
of work accomplished during the past
Wtek, and if it continues to contine
its work to the oj! ring of scores ot
resolutions, and the adoption of an
occasional one, the Fifty Sixth Con?
gress will deserve the nickname of
"The Kesoluters n The House made
no pretense at working, as no busi -
nses had been reported from ns Com?
mittees; it met several days only to
adjourn. The fact is, the great game
of politics, which always starts in
Congress in presidential years, is now
on, and the men who play it are more
intent Upon scoring a point for their
>ide than upon dispatching business,
ami the expansion queation >e< ms tt.
| be in greater favor with the players
? of both sides than tbs financial queS
ltion. The debate on the Senate
Financial bill bsa been decidedly
draggy thus far.
Thc House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee doesn't intend
to wait for the report of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, lt lias ordered a
favorable report on the Hepburn bili
for tlie construction ol a Canal over
the Nicaragua route. The bill author

tory :i> maj be needed for thc con?

the Secretary of War to go ahead
with the construction ot" thc canal.

it is suspected that he has received a
promise from tlie Speaker. Senate
.Morgan approves thc bill and sayi he
would like to see it a law at oma.
but he has serious doubts about the
Senate acting in advance of the re?
port of the Canal Commission.
Representative Pearre, of Maa?
land, believes that tbe tariff oilers

and keeping them from becoming tot
greedy, and he has introduced a bill
which provides for the suspension <?:
duties upon imports when their sah
or manufacture are monopolized; also
providing for a Commission, the du
tits of which shall be to investigate
and report to tm President,as t<> the
m c< ssity for such action. lie
thc machinery lor the enforcement ol
the Sherman anti-trust las lias proi
en slow and tedious, and that then
is a public demand that something
be (bun- by Congress to curb Ila
greed of trusts.
The administration lia- ti 1 ac?
tive efforts to get the several recipro
city treaties, negotiated under tin
Dingley tariff law, ratified, and then
is much talk of the probability of the
failure of the entire bunch of treaties,
os ing to the combination of their op?
ponents in C k It is claimed,
however, by mei:.hers of the adminis?
tration that efforts to gel the treaties
ratified will be resumed when Hon.

from Fl-?iida, where he has gone b)

There is much gossip and almost s
scandal on account of some thii
let out by Secretary Gage's answei
to the Congressional resolutions of
inquiry as to the relations of tlie
Treasury with National Hanks. Thi ri
is particularly a lot of gossip concern?
ing the fact that thc Seventh Nation
al Bank, of New York City, shortlj
after First Assistant Postmsstei Gen?
eral I'env Heath, became Its pl luci
pal stock-holder, was designated bj
the Postmaster General ai the deooei
tory ot Post Office funds in New
York. Mr. Heath's friends do not
deny that bil official position was an
influence in getting the bank chosen
sa a depository, but they say that
is nothing wrong about ii;
that there is nothing in being a tb -
pository of postal funds, except the
advertisement of the bank, but thal
doesn't stop tlie talk. Lots of men
who do not believe that there Waa
anything wrong ra thc transaction
yet believe that a man who is next to
the head of a great government de?
partment, should not allow a bank
which he practically owns to bc bent"
