THE DEMOCRATIC JOURNALS. partly
through ignorance, and partly from
pariislnship, are and have been, ever
since the election of President Harri-
son, harping about the depression OF
business. As matter OF fact the
volume of business is not depressed,
but is better than at any time during
Mr., Cleveland's administration. Sta
tistics show that there is an increase in
business of 81 per cent over that OF
1880, and that, taking the first elk
months OF the present year as guide,
the trade this year will exceed any
that has preceded it. This, OF course,
refers TO general business, for the tact
need not be denied that there has been
q falling off 10 the wooden and iron in.
dustries The first has been affected
by excessive importations, and the
latter by decrease in consumption
and the influx of Southern iron, which
can be made at less cost and sold
cheaper than that manufactured in the
North.
The Interpretation given by the las
administrat to the tariff On wooden:
has enabled Europe to food our mar
kets with their goods, and conse
quently many OF our mills will remain
idle until Congress meets and rene
dies the evil. The decline in railroad
building has caused a corresponding
decline in the demand for iron, but ii
the face Of this, there has been TN
enormous increase in the production.
There is, however, no depression in
the general volume OF business, and il
it had not been tor the construction
placed by the last administration on
the tariff in reference to woolans,
every mill in this country would b6
busy to day, instead of over half o.
them being Idle. The Democrats
however, are asserting that the depres
sion in this business is due 10 Tia,
present administration, but the work
ingmen oil this country WHO read an,
think for themselves are not to be de
ceiyed by any such. nonsense. AS
general rule there is plenty of work a
fair wages, and this is shown By lh
fact that there are fewer strikce thu
fsr this year than has been the case 10
