Judged by Yesterdays elections,
it is in the books for a united Re
publicanism to gain control of
Congress next fall. Should this
hope not be disappointed, such
change in the policy of Congress
will follow so closely upon the
heels of the free trade attempt, as
to absolutely negative its destruc-
tive work. The situation looks
more hopeful than at any time dur
ing the past twelve months.

1t is a victory that means pro-

this means increased wages to
American wOrkmen, and this in

The attachment that the sheriff

The American Economist devoted

Gail Hamilton has undertaken
to give to the American public a
true history Of the senseIess persp-
