A NEW ORDER OF THINGS.

During the four years of President Cleveland's administration business was active, the country prospered and bar ring few of the industries where tariff barons control the workingmen fared generally very well. So much confi- dence, indeed, was felt by the business community in President Cleveland that many republican business men voted for him in preference to a new and untried man.
 No sooner, however, was Harrison elected than business began to grow dull, money became tight, hard times came to the workingmen, and as the new admin istration was ushered in Bradstreets an- nounced lon the whole somewhat less encouraging condition of general trade From the very day. that, by the most gigantic use of blood money ever known in American politics, the republican party succeeded in defeating President Cleveland, reductions of wages began, factories closed their doors, stringent money market set in to hamper the mercantile community and altogether the worst times seen in de sounds strange, in view of the roseate predictions and glowing promises made by republican orators and editors last fall, to read of shut downs, cuts and suspensions. While the wires were trembling with their burden of inaugu- geration splendors they flashed to the world the news of the failure of the Reading iron works, the largest concern of it's kind in the country, and every day there comes from Pennsylvania, the home of the high tariff and the very hotbed of protection. news that some poor toilers are forced to eat their bread in the sweat of lower wages than they received under democratic administra- tion. If this is the order of things that was to come as a result of republican success, if this is the condition that the country must accept with the sackcloth and ashes of Lent, President Harrison and his party will take mighty big contract to fool the voters again i'll 1899.
 The present IS an order oi IhinSs that is anything but encouraging, and it is very far from being the condition that the country was led to believe would follow Harrison's election. Will better things come? Will there be new stim- ulus to trade and industry, better times to the merchant and workingman, a new era of mercantile and industrial prosperity Well, perhaps. Let us hope SO at least even though the outlook be anything but hopeful and encouraging.

THE COPPER PANIC.

The suicide of Derfert Rochereau at Paris az a result of losses by speculation in copper. and the wild fluctuations that are now taking place in copper stocks, have a special interest in Waterbury where the price of copper has so much to do with the industries of the city. If the great copper syndicate could be broken, either by collapse or the suicide of all it's members, it would be an unmixed blessing to the people of our city who are almost to a man dependent on the prosperity of the brass industry.
 Brass is made of copper and spelter. And brass articles and ornaments, which are made in every shape and variety in Waterbury, are to be found in every home in the land. Brass, too, is used in the ma jority of the manufactories that turn out metal wares, tools, appliances or machines. Thousands of tons of brass, and thousands of tons of copper in the factories of Connecticut and Waterbury, and the syn dicate that controls the yield and price of copper is thus able to wiring tribute from the factories of the Brass city and from every consumer of brass in the country. The headquarters of this syndicate are in Paris, and through con- tracts with the owners of the Calumet and Hecla and the Anaconda mines, the two great American producers, it regu- latnS thn ,,rnH,1rt nf onI tla price to consumers at its own figures. It is a huge octopus, stretching out its tentacles over all the earth and exacting toll from everybody who uses any article in which copper is component part It is claimed, on the very best authority, that the American producers can afford to lay down copper in. New York city for seven cents pound. And yet, by selling their entire output to the French syndicate and limiting the pro- duction to certain amount, they are enabled to get 12 or 13 cents pound ,and the consumers are compelled to pay 16a cents a pound. To make a profit on | their wares the brass manufacturers are compelled to charge rates that | make thelr sale uncertain, | and this added to the further possibility of break in the syndicate prices such as seems now to be threaten ed has hampering effect on manufac- turing.
 The events that are occurring on the Paris bourse are now of absorbing inter- est to the people of Waterbury. If l through any instrumentality there could be a break in the price of copper that would enable our manufacturers to get in supply at reasonable prices the brass business would feel the stimulus and so the people of Waterbury would be the gathers. But we have little faith that the syndicate can be pushed to the wall. It has club over the producing com panies all over the world, and there is little probability that there can be any serious break in prices. But the news from Paris will repay close attention.

Public McetinR.

At a meeting Of citizens of Steele county
held Monday evening at the opera house iu
Hope, to express their sentiments In regard Ia
the location OF the capital aud other institu.
tions by the constitutional convention, Mr.. j.
J. Wainberg was called to the chair, and Mr.
R. H. Simpson made secretary.
The following resolutions were presented
and read by Mr.. C. J. Paul:
Whereas, majority OF the members of the
cons itut0nal convention now in session at
Bismarck have, by an assumption Of arbitrary
powers not intended by the people Of North
Dakota to be vested in them, located q mum
Der of public institutions; and
Whereas. we believe that improper influ.
ences have been brought to bear By CORPORA
tions and others affected in the location Of s.il
buildings and institutions; and
Whereas, we believe that the location OF the
capital Of North Dakota is prerOgatiye of the
people, and should be left to them to be decid-
ed by their suffrages, and
Whereas, many OF the public buildings and
institutions will not be needed for many
years to come and in view of the furtb
or fact that large portions of tho stats OF
North Dakota are at present sparsey settled,
and that 10 action should 10 taken at the pres.
ent time which may prejudice their rights and
interests in the future; and
Whereas, the action OF said majority Of the
members Of the constitutional convention, il
persisted in, will endanger the adoption Of tho
constitution and thus delay statehood, a. we'll
as place the people at great expense should tho
convention have to again assemble; therefore
be it
Resolred, That We, the people of Steele
county, in public meeting assembled, do here
by protest against the adoption Of said arti 10
known as file 143, and ask that the same be
stricked from the constitution before It's final
adoption; and we respectfully ask our dele
gates to use all honorable means 10 defeat tho
final adoption Of the constitution unless said
clause is stricken out; and be It further
Res0Iced, That we hereby pledge ourselves
to do all in our power to defeat the ratinca-
ti0n Of the constitution when submitted to a
vote Of the people, unless our wishes In this
respect are complied with.
After remarks by Messrs. H. l.. Smith, H.
H. Wasem, T. w. Thurston, C. J. Paul, R. H.
Simpson and others the resolutions wero
unanimously adopted, and copy ordered to
be transmitted to Delegate Wallace at Bis
