FREE-TRADE and Democratic papers
which never noticed the growth of
American manufactures in the past are
now trying TO make it appear that the
industries of tho country are on the eve
of a great boom. Bradstreet's, q most
reliable business newspaper in it's weekly
review of last Friday. said:
The starting up OF idle manufacturing
ind ustries has not been conspicuous this
sweek rs last. and IN most instances has
been with reduced forces and on part time.
The above is the truth about the mat
ter. The uncertainty regarding the
tariff legislation is paralysis upon ali
manufacturing industries.

THE only redeeming feature about the
opening of the Cherokee Strip is the
rapidity with which, after the crisis is
past. order is evolved out of chaos and
organized government ont of turbu-
lent mob. The preliminary proceedings
and the sufferings, hardships and dam
gers of the mad race for land revealed
nothing but sort of greed for gain,
desire to get something for nothing, or
next to nothing. There was nothing
edifying in this. But. the race over,
the American instinct for seif-govern-
ment quickly asserted itself, and the
stakes were hardly driven locating
claims before township, town and mu-
nicipal governments were organized,
hastily and crudely at first, bnt still
affording basis of orderly administra-
ton. This is the American idea, and it
is grand one. 1t is to be hoped there
are enough American flags in the strip
to give color To the new government.
