The unsettled condition OF business Is to
be greatly deplored for several reasons.
Not only does II create present suffering
and uneasiness, but II has decided efeat
on the future. An instance comes from
Wilmington, Del. Two of the large build
ing firms there have refused contracts
amounting to nearly 100000, because "of
the uncertainty which exists In industrial
circles" IL is to be sincerely hoped that
the troubles will soon end. Dorchester,

The faith Of Mir. Morrison must be con-
siderahly shaken In his belief that the south
is solid for free trade, since the committee
has been appealed TO by numerous southern
delegations to protect the interests Of their
respective states, among which arc Alabama
and West Virginia, who want their iron In

South Carolina and Georgia don't want their
rice growing swamped; Louisiana wants her

No one who has spent season at the
capital can have an adequate idea OF the
vndes official and social life. 1t was not
thus In the earlier, simpler days of the re-
public. Wealth has brought display, and
the prevalence Of an easy morality has
made the nntional capital a winter resort

wake a horde OF adventurers
and resolutes, who, II they do not compose,
at least color what is called society. Moral
worth and character are not essential to
social advancement, nor are intelligence
and what are called the minor virtues.
Almost any one who has wealth sufficient
for the maintenance OF outward appear
ances can enter society, and those who can
give entertainments can become leaders,

There is an old line wing element in this
country, who, for reasons satisfactory to
themselves heretofore acted with the Demo-
cratic party. Can 1t do so any longer, after
these reasons have ceased to exist They
do not believe in free trade. The doctrines
OF Clay are too deeply planted In their
minds TO allow them to vote with party
which makes free trade an issue. Consider
this question, compare 1t with the princi-
pies you entertain, and vote the Democratic
ticket II you can conscentiously do so, but
complain no more about the price of wool.
