A PROUD JUDICIAL RECORD.

| The placing of Judge Freedman, of the SUI
perOr Court, upon both tickets for reelection
was fitting recognition of his Jealous and
faithful judicial work. 1t must be gratifying
to the Judge that no other person has been
urged or even suggested for the place, and
that the desire for his continuance in the office
was apparently universal. No man can occupy
so important and prominent a position on the
bench for fourteen years without mourning
some cnnities and provoking some criticism.
On the other hand, the compliment and honor
of reelection by general consent are not con-
ferred upon judges, in this city at all events,
unless they have displayed marked qualities
that have won admiration and respect.
Judge Freedman has shown such qualities to
conspicuous degree. Although firm and at
times even severe in his treatment of dein-
quences on the part of lawyers or parties, there
are said to be few judges before whom able
counsel prefer to appear for trial or argument.
His quick appreciation of points made his
strong logical powers, as well as his clear and
incisye manner Of diSposing of questions. have
combined to give him high judicial rank in the
estimation of members of the bar.
While such reflections without opposition
have not been frequent in New-York, there
have been sufficient presidents TO establish the
fact that the people of this city are not in
different to the character of work done by
their judges. They care more that faithful and
excellent judicial officers should be continued
in their places than they do to seek party adj
vantage by the election of an untred man of
their own political views Despite some note
worthy exceptions growing out of peculiar po-
litical circumstances, the history of the re-
election of judges in this city for many years
has been creditable alike to the people and
the judges themselves.

vance and made it possible 10 maintain prices
when advanced. The higher prices were first
stimulated by the prospect Of currency e1pan.
zion last April, and have thus far absorbed all
the added supplies of currency that have been
furnished. The course Of Republican Con-
eress and q Republican Secretary has, In fact,
bsned farmers all over the country to receive
better prices for their products than they could
otherwise have received. Yet it is the Demo
cratic expectation that the farmers OF the West
will return evil for good BY voting against the
Republican party.
Productive industry and legitimate trade OF
all kinds have been stimulated to degree
never before known. The production OF pig
iron il now at the rate of $500 600 tons yearly,
a production never before attained by this OF
any other country. The consumption OF wool
in manufacture has increased largely, and not
few works long idle have already resumed
operations. Cotton consumption in manufact.
ure il larger than ever before; the linen manu-
facture is about to begin simultaneously ct
many points, and tin-plate manufacture is al
ready begun. The volume OF payments through
clearing houses outside New-York in October is
II Der cent larger than a year ago, and then
was - per cent larger than in 1888, and the
business in October, 1888, was 1G per cent
larger than in 1897. Yet the mechanics. opera
tiyes, merchants and business men are desired to
vote against the Republican party, because
under its policy industry and trade have thus
expanded.

TO THE TANNERS OF OTSEGO, RERKI-
MER AND SCHOHARIE

Whom are You going to send to Washington
as your representative for the rest of the term
of the late David Wilbur and for the full term
of the Lid Congress? Do yon purpose to
cast your votes for the nominee of the Re-
publican party, the party which. has done so
much to make the hop growing business profit
able, and to promote the other important agri
cultural interests in which you are vitality in
terested? Or do You purpose to help the DEM
ocratic candidates, the men who are committed
to tariff policy which has only to prevail to
expose you to rlinouS competition? The
XXIVth District has heretofore been regarded
as one of the doubtful political fields. But
now that the Mckinley bill has become law
it ought to be doubtful no longer. Unless you
are blind to your own welfare it will perma-
nently take it's place in the Republican column
At all stages of its career ever since it was Or
ganzed our party has been the intelligent and
trustworthy champion of the farmers. The
agricultural schedule OF the Mckinley bill at
tests what has 50 often been proved before
that the Republican party has a right to call
itself the farmers party. What would have
happened if Democrats had been in majority
in the List Congress? Let the farmers of
Otsego, Herkimer and SChOharie ask themselves
that question. Would the duty on hops have
been advanced from to Is cents per pound
Would the other duties of the agricultural
schedule, the duties on butter, cheese, eggs,
hay, plants and the like have given YOU the
satisfaction which they now afford you?
Speaking generally, which do you regard Is the
better policy, the Republican policy of protect
ing American farming and all other branches
of American industry, or the Democratic policy
of free trade?
These are all salient questions, and we ex-
poet the farmers of Otsego, Herkimer and Scho-
harie to answer them by sending Frank b.
Arnold to represent them in Congress He is
stanch Republican, he is honest, he is capable,
he is lawmaker of ample experience. In his
hands the interests of the XXlVth District
would be entirely safe, and would be closely
looked after. Having proved himself q good
and faithful public servant at Albany he de-
serves to be promoted to Washington. The
district will be carried for him il you say so.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT

When Secretary Window had relieved i'm
mediate necessities in Wall Street by extraOr-
binary disbursements, it seemed to some per-
sons exceedingly unkind to give warning that
all this money would be absorbed in expanding
business and by advancing prices in few
weeks, and the markets would again have to
choose, as before, between employing money in
speculation and using it in productive industry
and legitimate trade.
The other day business man talked in tho
morning uptown about selling stocks. He rode
down, was delayed long time by the crowd of
wagons and drays and the great jam which de-
noted exceedingly active business, and made up
his mind to buy instead. His logic was half
good. When there is SO much business that
there is not enough money to transact it ALL
either speculation must be curtailed or else the
very activity of business which encourages men
to buy will be curtailed.
Secretary Window gave all the help he could
when he caused 100000 900 to be added to
the circulation in single month. 1t now ap-
pears that the whole OF this money has gone
West and South, and the banks arc short again
But Philadelphia and Boston are also short, and
money is tight at Chicago, st. Louis, Savannah
and other Western and Southern centres Of
trade The money disbursed has already been
completely absorbed
A large part of this absorption has been due
to the remarkable advance in the prices OF
few farm products. Wheat at 81 OF per bushel
instead of s3 cents a year ago. means an enor-
nous difference in the amount of money re-
quired to transact the ordinary business, and
also in the amount required TO hold the accu-
INFLATED stocks for an expected rise. So with
the advance Of 10 cents in corn and % cents in
oats. Taking only the visible supply" at .
few points, it requires SO, 600, 900 more to carry
that supply than it would have done year ago
to carry the same quantities, and on the So
100000 bushels already received at the princi-
pal Western points the difference is over
SIG, 900, 900. This is the great change in
prices. compared with which all others are in.
significant.
But nothing can be clearer than this that
ample supplies Of money have assisted this I'D.
