THE TEST OF TIME.

Undoubtedly it would be impossible to
pick out any two consecutive years in
the history of the country when the
prices of articles of common use did not
vary to some extent-some of them ris-
ing higher and some of them falling low
er. To keep prices constant great
many conditions must remain constant,
and it is exceedingly seldom that
all those conditions remain so for
months even. let alone years. So when
a person starts out with the intention of
proving that prices have gone up he can
present some evidence of it; and when
he has started with the intention of PROV
ing that prices have gone down he can
find some evidence of that. 1t is much

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ar
gus, grows more melancholyas the days
go on. Yesterday it published Mr..
Froude's description of the condition of
Rome before it's fall, and called upon its
readers to observe that there are many
signs of similar condition in this coun-
try. Our esteemed contemporary does
not exactly predict that the United States
of America is about to go to pieces, but
evidently that idea has got possession of
its mind, and is making it melancholy.
But why should it be so sad? Has not
it told us again and again that the cleo
ton of Grover Cleveland would rescue
the country from every impending dan
ger, and has it not assured us again and
again in the most confident manner that
Grover Clevelands election was assured?
If the Argus will turn back to its files for
1872 it will see that it suffered similar
attack of melancholy that year. The
spectre of imperialism was before its
ewes for several months. and it was full
of warnings of the danger of the re-
election of Grant Grant was reelected,
however, and the country survived, and
further more, it thrived. And the Eastern
Argus thrived with it. So, even if the
election predictions of the Argus should
not come true, as they usually do not, and
Benjamin Harrison should continue to be
President of the United States, as in all
probability he will, the Argus need not
despair of the future.

WHITELAW REID.

So far as cotton goods are concerned there is
no tariff tax to pay by anybody, but it is differ
Will Mr. Libby or the PRESS claim that there
has been no advance on the price OF this COM
modify since the Mckinley bill went into effect.
Argus
The PRESS claims that there has been
no advance on spool silk because of the
Mckinley bill, even if there has been any
advance at all. which is doubtful. If the
Argus will examine section 40 of the
Mckinley bill it will find that the duty
on spool silk is 80 per cent, precisely
what it was under the act of 1888, and pre-
cisely the same as the Mills bill pro-
posed. If, therefore, there has been any
advance in spool silk it could not have
been on account of the Mckinley tariff.

The PRESS is still laboring under the delusion
that the war between the North and South is
yet in progress andis trying to keep alive the
old feeling of antagonism between the sections.
1t has evidently not yet learned that the war
closed at Appomattox twenty seven years ago.

How long ago was it, esteemed contem-
porary, that you were booming Demo-
cratic candidate for county attorney in
this county on the strength of his war
record? Your position seems to be that
a revival of the war is all right when it
helps Democrat but when it hurts him
it is all wrong. The citation of the APP
pointments by Grover Cleveland at this

of affection for the Union soldier was per-
fectly legitimate and proper.

il would therefore be devil who would

In this it is declared THE Scripture az
