THE TURN OF THE TIDE

Dor and commerce aud manufactures
for much of it il seemingly thrown out
q employment and rates of interest are
low The farmers perhaps are affected
the least uniavorably of any class
The currency contraction, reaction
from unduc speculation, and the extrav-
agances engendered by prcposterous
war, are, in brief, the causes. Two
things are TO us interesting matter OF
speculation-howl long will this condi-
ton Of things continue, and how will 1t
affect US on the Pacific coast. 1t is q
law Of nature that evils, In time, often
work their own cure. Action and
neaetlon arc equal The present ex-
treme depression is but the abnormal
slaekening after the abnormal spec
ula,ivo enterprise Of previous years
The stress has continued 80 long that
it is reasonable to regard the present
as that darkest hour IN the crisis that II
said to come Just before the dawn-tht
point where the commercial tide is about
to turn again for its flush. 1t has beer

content the time of storms and uni

Spring. The country now is only TAX

day-spring power and activity.
Cheap money, cheap real estate
cheap goods aud cheap wages are al
ways favorable to an increase of bust

aud so absorptive that it is doubtful
whether this drawback will be very
appreeiable here. Neither wages no,
prices will be- seriously affected 10y it

THE OLD CONFLICT.

ns CAzson Tribune has taken the
cue from TIE Comstock Record and
says some well considered things
sb,ut tho conhsct between capital
and labar and some things that are
not well considered. Tire question
u a. old ~ the science At political
cconomy, but II psesrnts new aspects
with the advance Of time and an as
pect especially ue~ in this country.
The Tribunc, with the latter view
before il, remarks as follows: "The
only thing that is needed to elevate
the working class is the adherence TO
saat plank Of the Republican plat
form which says that the puoiic
school system must and shall be pre-
. rived from all sectxrisn influences;
fas education makes all men equal,
l., them 10 begysrs or miilicnsises.'
The maintenance Of the public
schools free tor all children Is what
eventually will secure 10 the working

Education, however. does MOI mike
all men equal. 1t may make them
equal mentally, bat shat Is not the
war ia which people consider other

man who commands the most re-
spect and consideration. There is a

derived from a good schooling, but
