A BUSINESS MANS VIEWS.

I. B. Snow, of Topeka, superintendent
of agents Of the Massachusetts, Mutual
Life Insurance company, is keen OBJ
server of the signs of the times and has
his finger on the financial pulse Of the
state of Kansas. When great financial
institution withdraws it's investments
from the state, the action is ominously
significant. When those investments
are replaced and arrangements made to
increase the original placings, the action
is encouragingly significant. That is
exactly what Mr.. Snow says his compa-
ny has done and is now doing. Mr..
Snow said:
Between politics and business there
is a very intimate relation. The fact is
very forcibly illustrated by the action of
our company in Kansas. When the up
heaval Of 1890 took place and the ALI
ance came into power, period Of un-
easiness was inaugurated. The threats
of reputation inspired eastern capital
lists with distrust. The supremacy Of
the alliance was standing menace to
the confidence which had heretofore ex-
listed between the eastern financial in
stitutions and the people of Kansas.
The agents OF these institutions were
instructed to make no further placings
and to withdraw as rapidly ss was pos
sible without sacrificing all that was at
stake, what had already been invested.
The election OF the alliance legislature
confirmed the fears which had been in
spired by the speeches Of the alliance
leaders before the election. These fears
were made realities by the wildcat legis-
lstion which was attempted. It can be
seen at q glance what vas the inevitable
result, and that result was as have
outlined.
mot a. Q politician, but as business
man, am glad to say that the fears of
eastern capital have been at last rem
dered groundless, although much mis-
chief has already been done and it will
take long time to recover from the evil
effects of the attempted legislation. 1t
was the attempt and not the deed that
confoupded eastern capital. But with
the evidences of return Of that bust
ness sense which had been abandoned
during the campaign of 1890 began the
work Of recovery. Eastern capital, which
had been leaving Kansas es rats leave
sinking ship Is fast returning; and let
me say that there is more truthful than
poetical analogy between the dssertion
by the rats and the abandonment by
outside capital. Outside capital is the
last to desert q community Cox many
ressoos. In The first placs. Il b The lass.

for geographical reasons, 10 appreciate
the full significance Of unfavorable con-
ditions. It is also less easily able to
withdraw, from the very character and
extent of it's investments.
my company is only one Of the many
which have poured money into Kansas
and which are now replacing the invest
ments which alliance legislation fright
ened away. The index and not the true
measure Of the mischief wrought is the
reaction on the part of eastern capital.
Two years have been lost and in addi-
ton to that one item the work of inspir,
ing confidence has to begin all over
again, with the well-nigh insurmounta.
bic disadvantage of working in the face
OF deep planted distrust.
II take q great interest in politics,
but I look at it chiefly from business
standpoint; and when say that from a
business standpoint the outlook is polit-
ically favorable, and indeed encourage
ing, say great deal. The true work
ings of the Mckinley law are Just be-
ginning to be understood. The fever
of 1890 has subsidized. The principally
imaginary wrongs which were to be re-
dressed are of far smaller proportions
than they at first presented. The ALI
ance failed to do aught but threatened a
financial panic, to destroy the credit of
the state and undo all that had been
DONE Kansas is second to no state in
the Union as one in which to invest.
For that reason eastern capital did not
withdraw until it appeared suicide to
remain, and for that reason also it is re-
turning at the first signs of return to
reason.
my opinion is that if the alliance and
democracy fuse the republican majority
will fall to not less than $4,000. The
81, 5000 is, of course, not hoped for.
But the fusion of the two parties cannot
possibly threaten republican success.
The soldier members of the alliance are
returning to the republican fold to a
man. The purely farmer members are
also becoming Disguised with the re-
suits of the election of the Office
seekers.
THE outlook at present is for sweep
ing republican victory all along the line
in Kansas. Harrison will be the choice
for president if Blaine absolutely declines
to be candidate"

PECK'S BAD BOY.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
George W. Peck, democratic governor
of Wisconsin, speaks thus pleasantly of
the democratic bad boy: "David B. Hill
cannot break into the White House with
a jimmy, and he will find it out between
now and election day. He and the 9TH
er political burglars with whom he is as
ISOLATED will come to grief before that
time. I regard his capture Of the dele
cation in New York as piece Of polit-
ical burglary. If the people Of this
country are properly informed as to tho
methods he has taken they will bury
him SO deep that he won't know he's on
earth.

IT is said. apparently on some au-

great transportation company who
lately retired under a cloud has ap-
piled to the company for a pension.
We have recently seen the President

tire-if not under a cloud, at least in
q sort Of haze-upOn a muniflcent
pension. These circumstances, to
gether with the pregnant fact that
there are now on the Government
pension rolls about as many persons
as there are survivors Of the Late war
In the country, suggest that the PEN

erably fair holt in our midst.

THE Rev. T. De Witt Talmage has
put forth his contribution to the lit
erature Of the Sunday -closing move
ment in connection with the Worlds
Fair. The proper solution" says
he, lis to have every workshop, fac
tory and store closed promptly every
Saturday noon during the whole Ex-
position. Give the working classes a
half-holiday every week during that
time. Then Sunday let the great
preachers who will be here from all
parts of the world hold services in all
the Worlds Fair buildings which
will admit Of it." The first objection
which naturally suggests itself is that
this plan affords an opportunity for
Chicago working people to visit the
fair, but ignores that vast army from
four neighboring States who, by
travelling at night, could spend Sun
day at the fair and return to their
homes without the loss of q working
day. II, however, Mr.. Talmage holds
to the religious argument alone one
can not fail to note that in order to
observe that portion Of the command
ment which says ''Keep holy the
Sabbath day" he is willing to break
its other command, "Six days shalt
thou labor" Moreover, Mr.. Tai
mage's plan necessitates seven days
work by railroad men just as much as
if the fair were open. 1t is at least q
debatable question whether engineers
and conductors would not be quite as
righteously employed taking people
to see the great fair, bearing testi-
mony in every department to the
marvellous work of Him who created
in his own image man, who accom-
plished SO many wondrous things, as
they would be in taking them to hear
the great preachers Of the world

Gov. RUSSELL Of Massachusetts has
propounded a dilemma to protectio nists
Of the Mckinley type which it is safe to
say they will let severely alone. If,
when duty is laid by the United States
upon an imported article, that duty is
paid by the foreigner, it follows that q
drawback of SO per cent. of the duty
when the article is exported is gratuity
to the American importer. To take the
case Of tin plate: it is now claimed by the
protectionists that the Welsh manufac
turers are selling it in this country at
about the same price as before the Nc
Kinley tariff was adopted, and that there
fore the duty is paid by them. But the
Standard Oil Company, it is said, has re-
ceived from our Government $l,5O0,OOO
as a drawback upon the tin cans in
which their product is exported. Ii the
foreigner paid the duty on the tin plate
the Standard Oil Company did not pay
it. It is, therefore, a falsehood that the
duty is paid by the foreigner, or else the
Republican party is paying an enormous
subsidy to a monopoly.

THE TEMPLATE HuMBUG.

The Tribune of this city devotes con-

the American people pay annually the
enormous sum of SIG, 100000. It states
that there are now in operation in this
country as many as AZ factories turning
out tin in large quantities and giving
employ ment to thousands of American
workingmen. The other day IN St. Paul
Knute Nelson told his Republican friends
that there are but 26factories established
here, while Congressman Burrows few
days previously positively asserted that
fifty tin-plate factories were running in
full blast. The Tribune also informs it's
readers that the American tin factories
have caused 90 factories in Wales to
close up. Congressman Springer, Of Il
linois, in replying to Major Mckinley,
showed that the factories in Wales have
closed temporarily on account OF over
production. Major Mcclure in his speech
