The dispatches have referred to the let ter of Captain William E. English of son of the democratic candi date for vice president in 1880 and for rs one of the democratic leaders of his state. Captain English lares that the democratic party, under the present regime, has departed from the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson, and those of Tilden in later years. He says the! “paramount issue” in this eampaign that overshadows and overwhelms all others and that is W, J. Bryan himself, who, of his own vo litlon, now as in 1896, stands before the conservative, order-doving, law abiding citizens of the republic as the appointed and representative of all that is danger menneing and threatening to law, order and good gov ernment.

The exports of domesti creased from $862 157 In to $1,0: 007603 in 18 and in 1500 reached enormous total of $1.370,476,458. The contage of manufactured goods In the ex- ports rose from 26 per cent in 1896 to 31 per cent in 1900. This In manufac exports s on most striking signs of the recent nd commer- clal expansion of Prices and wages advanced as the demand for goods increased. In 1889 the prices of nearly all commodities, except breadstuffs, showed a strong ncy. The advance was most marked in the case of building materials, especially iron and steel. The prices of metals, coal and coke, hides and leather and cotton and wool also made noteworthy advances. At the same time wages In most industries were raised and employment became steadier. In 1899 re- ports of advances in wages came from all parts of the country. The condition of labor during that year was probably on the whole better than it had heen at any preceding time in the nation's history. Additional evidence of the remarkable prosperity of the country is furnished b the Increase of bank clearings and of rallroad earnings. The clearings in New York City during 1809 were 4 per cent larger than in 1508 The western made lgrge gains For the whole country the average increase was 36 per cent over 1808 and 63 per cent over 1 The increase in the business of the western banks is a remarkable Indica- tion of the growing financial independence of the west. Railroad earnings in 1809 were phenomenally large. In fact, this year as the most prosperous one which the American allroads have ever had. Thers were only ten failures, many roads paid dividends for the first time in years, and extensive improvements were made in roll- ing stock and equipment.
