Only a year ago free trade orators
were predicting the ruin of our canning
factories because of the certain raise in
the price of tin cans. Their predictions
did not come true, but on the contrary,
tin cans that brought S. per hund red In
August, 1890, were sold Tor 81 per hum
dred in 1891, despite an almost unpre
cedented demand.
A year ago the political results and
the crops were Democratic; they sus-
tanned the calamity walters and helped
those who bank on public disaster. This
year the crops and the elections back
up the Republican party, which believes
in national prosperity and seeks success
only by promoting national prosperity.
If good fruit comes from good soil the
outlook for business aud industry ought
to be vastly brighter that it was year
ago.-N Y. Tribune.
Democratic hatred of American in
dustries is explained by the tremendous
foreign element that goes to make up
the office holding section of the party.

The Hon. Calvin S. Brice does not
spend all his time chasing rainbows.
Just now he is trying to compel the
citizens of Dayton, o., to pay %
cents for natural gas, which he agreed
to furnish for 10 cents. 1t is the hard,
substantial and almighty dollar that
Mr.. Brice is chasing with the greatest
zeal and energy, and it may be said IN
passing that his efforts in this direction
have been more successful than his pur-
suit of the elusive rainbow Chicago

Hon. Andrew D. White declares that
the Republicans of Ohio won the re-
cent election because the party in that
state battled for the fundamental prin-
ciples of Republicanism and 'stood
firmly for right and justice in national
affairs" He is right. The Republican
party is always strong when it advo-
Gates the great principles of loyalty to
the nation, protection to American la
| Dor, honest money and honest voting.
It did this in Ohio and won. 1t will
| do it in other states next year and will
| win.

There is one thing to be remem-
bered Some Alliance leaders open
ly proclaim their purpose to OPP
pose Mr.. Cleveland by every means
in their power if be should be nomi-
mated by the Democrats. President
| Polk has declared that he should stump
North Carolina against that candidate,
and the Democratic plurality in 1888 was
only $4,000 there. In Virginia 1t was
only 1900, and in West Virginia only
800 In these and other Southern
states it would not take a very
great diversion of Democratic votes to
| the Alliance to give the Republicans a
plurality, and the prospect that Mr..
| Cleveland's nomination will be peculiar
| lv offensive to Democratic voters who
| have sympathized with the Alliance
is therefore one not to be overlooked.
