.S0lIETHING CONCREIE.

The attention of free-trade agitators is re-
spectfulIy directed to another instament OF
our industrial exhibit Of this State. For two
wears they have been declaiming against Mckln-
lev prices and the inquties of the tariff
When non-p partisan and scientific investlga-
ton of the course of prices conducted by the
Senate Finance Committee revealed the signf-
cant fact that the cost Of living had been
reduced and the rate of wages raised since
the passage of the Mckinley act, these fiction
workers were thrown into momentary confusion,
but they soon recovered their spirits, and even
had the hardihOOd to assert that the figures
and percentages were too abstract and general
to prove anything. What they considered con-
elusive was concrete facts about special in
dustries and designated localities" We are
only too glad to meet them on that ground,
or, for that matter, on any ground where they
will stand and fight for the free trade princ-
pies of the Chicago Convention and not seek
to get under cover of side issues like the so
called "Force bill"
For example, let us take the facts about
knit underwear as disclosed in letters on an
other page from Amsterdam and Cohoes. The
duties were increased two years ago on many
grades of these goods. What has been the
effect on the industrial fortunes of those towns
Factories which were closed have been re-
opened Old mills have been enlarged. New
factories are now under construction. Many
of the mills are working night and day. Every
factory is filled with the hum and hustle of
success full industry. Every business interest in
both towns has been stimulated directly or in
directly by the activity of the knitting mills.
1t is prosperity attributable in very large
measure to the passage of the Mckinley act.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Cold corn, cotton and the monopocs gave
speculators about all the excitement they had
last week, and for midsummer week il was a
fair allowance. Fluctuations were sufficient to
enable somebody to make good pile Of profits,
and the activity of Deacon White in signing
checks for about half million to creditors who
had given him an absolute legal release. indicated
that part of the profits had gone TO one At whose
success all will rejoice. In the industrial stocks
the market was active and higher. and some OF
the wheat carrying roads shared the advance, but
the corn-carriers were in more uncertainty ana
the selling of stocks by Europe tended to prevent

foreigners have for some reason been emptying

il needed TO explain such gold shipments as have
occurred little over $lOOOO,OOO gold went
out from Ncw-York in July, and $l,0O0.0Oo more
last week. but the excess of merchandise imports
over exports must have been more than that
amount. In the last five weeks imports at this
mort have been $G0,7l2,3s9. against x46.746.0lS
last year, an increase of $l3066.371. or about
30 per cent AS there has been scarcely any

and il is shared by the working people en-
nlovcd in nearly sixty factories. Not only are
their wages the best ever paid for the same
class of work but also their surplus earnings,
~ indicated by the savings banks deposits, have
largely increased during the last two years.
Well. are there any drawbacks? Is the gen.
oral public compelled to pay heavy tribute to
the manufacturers and working people Oh

factories are per cent lower, on the average.

Democratic nightmare, the grinding and de-
stroying" Mckinley act, works IN our New

THE ryposJTIoX,s OPENING DAY.

THE EYPOSI1IONS OFENlNG DAY.
Ii is the first step that counts well begun is
half done-thcSe and similar old saws which
might be quoted naturally suggest themselves
when the question is asked, when, upon what
day shall the Worlds Columbian Exposition be
opened? 1t will be seen by statement
which appears upon another page that John
Royd Thacher one of Ncw-Yorll's energetic
Fair Commissioners, has addressed himself to
this question and for answer makes an inter
cstng suggestion. Congress has not fixed the
date when the gates of the Far shall be first
thrown open to the public. 1t has merely pro-
vidcd that it shall not be later than the first day
of May.
Now. while there is no objection to the first
day of May on general principles for opening
dav, it is to be said that the poetic fitness Of
things would not be conserved by selecting that
date. There is nothing, so far as is known
that pleasantly connects it either with Colum-
bus Uncle Sam or international expositions
It is associated in the mind of the average man
with the moving of household goods and the
crowning of May queens. Now Mr. Thacher
suggests that opening day shall be the 9Th of
NAV, for the reason that that is "the chrsten-
ing or baptismal day OF America" II will be
conceded that this is a substantial reason, and
unless better one can be educcd in behalf of
another date Mr.. TEACHERS motion ought to be
adopted. Ample provision has already been
made for doing the handsome thing by the
memory OF Columbus in connection with the
Exposition. Let opening day fall on the 9TH
of May. and the memory of his great brother

navigator, Americas Vespucius, will also be
fifty recognized.
Next winter Congress will name the day Ii
ANYBODY knows of better suggestion than
Commissioner Thachers, it behooves him to
submit it in the mean time. The matter Is
worthy the consideration of students OF history.

Excessive interest in the dOings OF their
Municipal state and Federal Legislatures is
not one of the faults chargeable against the
people of the United States In fact, it is only
in times of particular interest that the lawmak-
ers are carefully scrutinzed. their methods
studied and the fruits of their deliberations
weighed How much the popular understanding
of the military movements during the War of
the Rebellion was helped by the passion to
splay soldiers" which seized upon the lads of
thirty years ago can only be guessed at The
victories of peace do not catch hold OF the fancy
like the victories of war, but in the mimic bat
ties of the debating societies many boys
mind has been trained to orderly thought and
clear utterance 1t was therefore happy idea
of Principal Wickes, of Syracuse, to set some OF
his bright lads to playing at Congress, and the
introduction of the experiment to the favorable
field of Chautauqua will doubtless yield results
from which not only the embryonic statesmen
but the body polite itself shall benefit.
