extension of our export trade, is an im portant factor in the drain of gold fro in this country to Kurope. Aside from the gold which is produced in our mines, about forty million dollur year, our supply conies from the articles which we sell to other nations. Despite the claim of the advocates of low tariff that the reduction of duties would open the doors of the world to our products, we have not Increased ourexiHirts in any sum worth mention ing during the time in which the Im ports hsve lieen increasing so enormously We get rid of our gold by buying ar ticles from other nations, by spending it in foreign travel, and paying the interest and principal of American securities held abroad. When it is seen that we have purchased abroad (KiO.OOOinore of foreign products under the present law than we did in the cor-rescinding sixteen months of the Mc Kinley law, it is easy to see, where 107- of our gold has gone meantime. Thus we have lost gold enormously while there has been no gain worth mentioning by increased sales of our mxJucts abroad.

We are not only users under the present law in the matter of gold, but in revnue for the money paid at the custom houses 'for tariff duties in the first sixteen months was, as already indicated, more than the sum paid in the corresw)iiding ierind of the McKinley law. Thus it seems that, though the enormous increase in importations for which we must pay in gold, we have lost 107,000,000 of gold under the new law in excess of what happened under the McKinley law in the same length of time, and have also lost tO.OOO.OOO in customs duties, which the foreign importer failed to pay into our custom houses because of the reduced rates which the Wilson law established.

Every mention of the name of MeKinley provokad the most enthusiastic applause, while Reed, Harrison and Alli son received comparatively little at tention.

The sentiment of the meet ing was as nearly unamimous for Mc Kinley as it could well be. Kansas Breeze. The report of the Kansas Anti Horse Thief Association for last year shows that -'8 horses were stolen, of which twenty were reclaimed, there were forty-three thieves captured, fourteen of whom are now in the penitentiary and eighteen in county jails. The val tie of other property taken by these thieves was $774 the amount recov ered, 1614. This is a splendid showing, only eight horses valued at 103, not being recovered in their jurisdiction, Those Armenian resolutions adopted by congress will probably be regarded by the governments of Great Britian, Austria, France, Italy, Russia and Tur key, as one of the most extraordinary cases of international meddling on record.

Vet, there is little doubt that everyword in their resolutions is in ac cord with th public sentiment of this country. A company is being organized Ar kansas City to go to Alaska in search of gold and a man will be sent in the spring to make a personal investiga of the prospects. It ia estimated that it will require about $400 to successfully make the trip, and for any one to join the colony it will be necessary that they have that much cash to in vest in the undertaking. In three states, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, women will vote for presi dent in November. Colorado will cast a total vote of about 200,000, Utah 000 and Wyoming 20,000.

This amount well invested would accom push wonders in the art preservative but a glance at the Congressional Rec ord is enough to show that the money is largely wasted. The report, by way of Spain, that Mr. Cleveland had said that he would under no circumstances recognize the belligerency of the Cubans is probably untrue.

Mr. Cleveland is not an idiot, and only an idiot in his position would have said such a thing. Ex-Senator Piatt's detinit ion of his platform "I lielieve in republican pro-: tection, republican ability, to manage the Nation's finances, in republican integrity and in republican uprightness of purpose" is good enough for any republican.

HARRISON'S LETTER, The country will no dotilit lie uur-lrUfd to lfHi'ii. nay the Khiimhh City World, tiuit ex-Presideni Harrison lian withdrawn from the campaign for the lIi'IKibliciui noiniiuitioii for pfeniilt'iit.

Mini clinched hi withdrawal ly writing strong let ter to thai effect to the chairman tif the Itepiihlicnii atate ctim-mii tee of Indiana. But more nil rpr Siting I i hi In'. withdrawal in hi statement, "there has never been an hour since I left the White House that I have Ml a Uh to return to it." If Mr. Harrison lias not heen candidate fur the nomination fur president, he has tut shaped his words and act ions ns to innke the pulilic think he was and must have heen playing his reputation for political itiuliitioii as it blind. Hut this is neither here nor there.

Harrison has withdrawn, and in doing so has materially changed the conditions of the contest for the nomination. How will his withdrawal effect the other candidates? He had a great deal of positive strength, and would have absolutely controlled the vote of Indiana in the convention. How will Indiana go now and whom will his friends generally throughout he country sii pport? fhe cha irmnn of the Indiana state committee expressed tuc mat Atr. McKinley will receive the support of the state. But the chairman of the state committee is a supporter of MeKinley, and McKinley was his second choice before Harrison withdrew.

He is therefore not an im partial witness. JMher men, probably as well informed us the chairman of the committee, express the opinion that the vote of the state in the nation id convention will he divided, and this is likely to be the better opinion. It is possible the candidate who will be most benefitted by this new turn in iillairs will lie Allison. Mr. Morton has no strength outside of New lork aim will not last long when the convention ets to voting.

Ueed and -McKinley seem to be evenly matched and neither of them ill control the convention from the This will leave Allison the thin, in the con test, and holding the balance of power hctwnen the leading candidates. If the contest gets so hot that Reed's sup porters will not go to McKinley and McKinley's supporters will not go to Ueed, Allison will become the logical nominee of the convention, because he will be the second choice of the sup. portersjof both the leading candidates. At all events, he will occupy a position iiincwiu give mm an opportunity to display to advantage bis gonious for political generalship. j.ooKing nt the matter in another light, the country will be apt to conclude that Mr.

Harrison has done the proper thing in a particularly trace fill manner and to feel that it would be well for himself, his party and the country if Mr. Cleveland would follow Ins example. In fact, Mr. Harrison's withdrawal after serving only one term will direct attention strongly to Mr Cleveland's evident desire for a re- miiiiuaiioii alter serving two terms, and the popular judgment will most certainly be with Mr. Harrison.
