A DISTURBING ELEMENT.

There are still goodly number
of lunatics in Congress, who persist
in doing something to disturb the
finances of the country. They are
evidently disappointed at the grow
ing signs of prosperity all over the
land, knowing that their chances
for preferment are diminished in
proportion as prosperity becomes
general. They do not appear to
comprehend the situation. Under
the able administration of our
national finances by Secretary
Sherman, backed up by the Presi-
dent and the Republican party,
confidence has been restored, and
we are at the beginning of an era
of prosperity that Will continue for
years to come. For this, the nation
owes the President, Mr.. Sherman
and the party to which they belong
a debt of gratitude, that can hardly
ever be repaid. This has been ac-
complished in the face of the most
persistent opposition. 1t required
frmness and craftsmanship of no
ordinary degree to accomplish
what has been done, but now, when
the results of such policy have
become manifest, large majority
