TY MURRAY STREET. NEW YORK CITY. African Pygmies in Europe. From Harper's Round Table. Four years ago Dr. Stuhlmann, one of the most scientific of African expiorers,brought to Germany two dwarf young women, about seventeen and twenty years old. They had been captured by Arab slave raiders in the great forests northwest of Victoria Nyanza. A man about twenty-five years old and four feet six inches in height, who was captured with them, was in Dr. Stuhlmann’s care for several months, but died on the coast just before he was to go to Europe. He was so very shy that he seen to look a white man in the |. though he would talk a little Ki-Suaheli, the language of the Zanzibar natives, he was never heard to speak a word of his‘own language. The girls were a back to Africa ina few months, as it was feared they would not survive a German winter. In all the time they were with Dr. Stuhlmann, he was able io get from them only sixteen words of their language. Perhaps this is not very sur- prising it is enough to make persons of a low type of culture shy and suspicious to be shut up for hours at a time with In- quisitive savants, who were continually looking at and questioning and measuring them, turning them this way and that, and photographing them; and, though the little women were well cared for and much was done to amuse them, they could not get over the idea that the whites had some sinister purpose. They feared they would be poisoned, and never touched any dish before their Italian servant had first tast- ed it. They were carried around from one scientific society to another, all over Ger- many and Belgium, and it is safe to say that in their private opinion anthropology was a great bore, and they were very glad to get back to Africa. see Austrian Premier's Daughter Weds. ‘The daughter of Count Badeni, the Aus- trian premier, was married yesterday to Count Adam Krasineski. - LEO IOS Bon [arche.

Silver will be : THE CAMPAIGN At IN| OHIO Secretary Sherman ‘Gives. His Views in a —— He Regrets That Usage Precludes His Participation—Protective Tariff and Opposition to) Free Silver. =e For the first time since the beginning of the present campaign {h Ohfo Secretary Sherman has published-his views in the shape of the following letter addressed to the editor of the Cincinnati Volksblat: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, October 26, 1897. L. Markbreit, Esq., Cincinnati, Ohio: My Dear Sir: Your note of the 23d in- stant, in which you request my view of the coming election in Ohio and in Ham- ilten county, is received. I have care- fully observed the progress of the canvass with increasing interest as it advanced, and can hardly express in language my ap- preciation of its importance. My chief regret is that.I could’ not personally par- ticipate in it, as by a usage carefully ob- served from the days of Jefferson to this time the Secretary of State is precluded from actively sharing in political discus- sion other than on foreign affairs. I look upon the pending canvass in Ohio as a retrial of the issues involved in the election of 1896. State issues,.if any, do not seem to be the subject of debate. Nat- urally the first issue now is whether the administration of William McKinley thus far {s approved by the people’ of Ohio. Upon this question there ought not to be any difference of opinion. His prompt calling together the Congress of the United States to provide requisite revenue for the support of the government and his recom- mendation of the prompt repeal of the feeble and indefensible tariff law known as the Wilson-Gorman law have met with gen- eral approval. The revival of all industries and the com- mencement of prosperity in all parts of the United States was the natural and neces- sary result of the action of the President and a republican Congress. ‘The tariff laws have been the subject of discussion from the days of Washington to the days of McKinley. From the time I entered Congress in 1855 to this hour I have at every election heard both in and out of Congress of the respective merits of a rev- enue tariff and a protective tariff, and upon these questions the two great parties have taken opposite sides. The Taxes of War Times. The Morrill tariff, passed in March, 1861, is the text of the policy of protection to our American industries, and though great- ly changed from time to time to meet new conditions, it still forms the groundwork of the policy of the republican party in respect to the tariff. This act was passed at a period of development with light taxes and increasing population. The average yearly expenses of the national govern- ment from 1840 to 1860, including the ex- penses of the Mexican war, were about fifty million dollars. The civil war changed all this. Its cost has been stated as over six thousand million dollars. To meet this enormous demand the duties on imported goods were greatly increased and internal taxes in almcst every form were levied on domestic products and-upon the income of individuals and corporations. The ascer- tained national debt at +Ne close of the war was 2,740 millions, but this was greatly en- larged by claims afterward presented and by the most liberal pensions ever provided by law. In the face of thése obligations and expenditures the interest of the debt+and every > from 1866, to|1893 a portion of the principal of the public debt was paid, thus reducing it to $061,431,766 on the Ist of July. 1893. In 189 Congress passed what is known as the McKinley tariff act, which was a careful revision of ajl, existing revenue $. Jt,largely reduced internal taxes and carefully revised the tariff laws then’ in force. If it had remainéd on the statute book to. this time the ‘policy of protection and debt paying would have largely reduced the public debt and, preyented the severe stringency that followed its repeal. Jt is the declared ‘purpose of the repub- lican party to restore and maintain the policy embodied in the McKinley tariff act, and the recent tariff_act known as the Dingley tariff. It is, unfortunate that the bene‘cial provisions of the latter act can- not be in full operation for a year or more owing to excessive importations undér the Wilson-Gorman act; but I confidently be- lieve that within a. year, under the present law,. the revenue of the government) will be ample to pay not only current expendi tures, but a large sum yearly in reduction of the public debt. To secure this desirable result, the republican party must be sus- tained not only in Ohio, but in the United States. Free Coinage of Silver. Another question of public policy of equal importance to the tariff is what is known as the free coinage of silver without re- gard to its market value or the action of the great commercial nations of the world. Silver and gold have since the framing of the Constitution been the standard coins of our country, but the relative market val- ue of each has changed from time to time. The coinage ratio of the dollar is one ounce of gold as the equivalent of sixteen ounces of silver. In the coinage of parts of dol- jars the ratio of silver to gold is about fourteen ounces of silver to one of gold, but the legal tender of such minor coins is lim- ited to ten dollars. Within the past twenty years the market price of silver bullion has been reduced more than one-half, so that one ounce of gold is now equal in value to thirty-nine ounces of silver. Notwithstancing this wide diversity of the market value of the two money metals, the United States and all the leading com- mercial nations of thé world have main- tained their silver coins without change. This was done, and could only be done, by Mmiting the use of the cheaper metal and by coining only on government account. It is now proposed as the cardinal prin- cipal of scattered parties that the hoider of any silver bullion, without regard to its market value, may present it to the mint and have it coined into dollars and made a legal tender for all debts, public and pri- vate. At present the silver in a dollar is worth about 41 cents. It would seem that this bold and transparent proposition and repudiation of more than one-half of all debts, public and private, in the United States would shock the public sentiment cf honest people and secure its prompt re- jection. But, strange as it may seem, it is defended by so many that we are bound to consider their reasons before we denounce it as a fraud. No Ground for Silver Men's Claims. It is satd that free coinage would bring up the price of silver bullion to the ratio of 16 to 1. There is not the slightest ground for this opinion. Silver has gone down in price precisely as iron, tin, copper or, indeed, the price of all the metals éx- cept gold. The development in the process of mineralogy has]Nept pace with the cheapening of nearly*pit the productions of skill known as manyfagtures. Even gold may decline in relative value as the result of the recent develdpment of mines in « eral parts of the put from its su- perior value in the it space, and he- ing less affected cotrosion than any other money metal, itis now and will ccn- tinue to be the standard of value in the largely used in. aN! ¢ountries for minor coins—and if limited, deemed at its coi lue, or made a legal tender for li sums, it will be largely absorbed fom:mdgor transac’ 1s but its free coinage for all who demand it would at once make it sole coin in cir- culation, prevent thd@ic¢ofnage of gold and place our great and; powerful coumiry in financial operationa among the anne and In; amount and re- x nations >World.

As to the issues of the future, I can say with absolute confidence that in the future, as in the past, the mode of levying duties on imported goods and the free coinage of silver will be the divicing lines of the two great parties. It may be that the benefits of protection will be so apparent that the south, now already becoming a manufac- turing community, and the west, filled with mineral resources of untold value, may be converted to the policy of protecting their nascent industries by tariff laws. And it may be that the manufacturing industries cf the east may become so strong as to oppose duties on raw ma- terials, thus reversing their positions. This would be a change of position in the sec- tions, but the issue would remain. Local Issues. As for the ticket that is presented by the republican party, there ought to be no division of opinion among republicans. Governor Bushnell has proved to be an able and excellent officer, has performed his duties to the entire satisfaction of the people, has been honest and faithful. and deserves your hearty support. The elec- tion of a legislature in Ohio is always im- portant. Its action more directly affects the people of Ohio than even the action of Congress. The election of a senator of the United States is involved in the election of a legislature. The only republican can- didate who is mentioned is Mark A. Hanna, who is now serving out the remainder of the term to which I had the honor to be elected. His. wide experience as a business man,hisgenerous and kindly treatment of his employes, his sound judgment of all public questions of the day, ought to secure for him the hearty support of every republican member of the legislature. I will, on Tues- day next, Providence permitting, go to Mansfield and contribute my vote, not only for his election, but for the election of the entire Spoon eae Very respectfully yours, (Signed) ae JOHN SHERMAN.
