PECK,S LAST REPORT

Mr.. Peck of New York, who made
himself famous during the last cam
paign by daring to show the effects of
the Mckinley tariff upon the industries
of New York, is again at hand with his
tenth annual report. He adds to his
former strong assertions of the value of
the protective policy. Coming from a
Democrat his evidence is valuable.
The economic advance in New York
shows most prominently in the indus
tries of New York. During the last de-
cade the capital invested increased 97.4
per cent. The number of hands employed
increased 48.9 per cent. But better
than either the individual earnings of
each wage Garner have grown faster than
the ratio of capital. The diversifcation
of industry and tho minute division of
labor aided by machinery produced
by inventive genius of the Ameri-
can la aborer, encouraged by certainty
of market. have enabled the wage
Garner to add to his wages and to in
crease his product, while the returns to
capital have decreased. Yet the total
value of the product has not increased
in proportion either to the number of
hands employed or the capital invested.
On the other hand the product has
cheapened to the consumer in all lines
of manufacture. In short the wages
have advanced and prices have declined,
and this too as the result of a policy
which the Democrats now want to abol-
ish

THE MEANING OF GRESHAM

The meaning of the appointment OF
Judge Gresham to be his secretary OF
state by Soon-to-be-P President Cleveland
may not be as clear as it is assumed to
be by the cocksure gentlemen who cipher
ont all political riddles.
There are several ways to interpret
that very extraordinary performance
One way is to assume that the appoint
ment means that there is to be no radi-
cal departure from the Republican
policy by the Democratic administra-
ton. This is the most likely of any Of
the solutions that have been offered. 1t
is also one of the most satisfactory of
any Of the possible solutions.
1t has been apparent ever since the
election that the Democrats have aban-
doned the tariff policy of their platform,
and that the country need not fear that
the Observation-Disclosures ideas of the vehe-
ment Watterson, who controlled the
Chicago convention, would have any
influence at all.
The fact that the Democrats aban-
doned the tariff policy of the conven-
tion as soon as the delegates left Chicago
has been assiduously pressed upon the
people. This selection of Republican
who has missed being the acknowl-
edged leader of the party by
the narrowest chance, and who has
given no good evidence that he
has abandoned his principles for the
chief place in his cabinet, is the most
significant thing that Mr.. Cleveland
could possibly do to assure the country
that he will not be guided by the for
mally adopted doctrines of the party
that elected him, and that he will con-
tinue the policy of the administration
that has brought TO the country an un-
exampled prosperity and inaugurated
policy that is fast making of the United
States the controlling nation of the
world.
While it is very mean trick for Mr..
Cleveland to steal the policy of the Re-
publicans, 1t is very shrewd one also.
II is very likely to result that the con-
glomerate cabinet will prove to be
failure, but it is certain that the sage of
Lakewood will reap more of the reputa-
tion for liberality that has been mis-
takenly attributed to him for
long time. Great is Grover and greatly
has he turned and tumblcd to keep him
self before the people.

The General Assembly having con-
sumed two weeks time in beginning its
work is now to be commended for the
rapidity and care with which its COM
mittees are devoting their attention to
the work in hand.
The early passage of the Judiciary
act by the Senate was a surprise, even
to its friends, and indicated that the
question of politics, which apparently
delayed action upon it last year, had
ceased to influence the members. Ii
was received with favor by lawyers In
its present form, and while looked upon
as a compromise it goes far toward
remedying the present defects in the
Public Statutes.
The passage of the act requiring the
residences of registry voters, offers a
valuable safeguard to voters and can
wrong no one.
The Assembly has also under consid-
Grafton an insolvency bill and the cor
poration act. Both of these are meas
ures of great Importance. and action
upon them is expected soon, as they are
looked upon favorably by both parties.
Altogether over fifty bills have either
been passed or are in such a position as
to receive early attention. 1t is Doubt
ful if any previous session can show
such advanced and meritorious work as
is now being done.

Digby Bells Heart Is Touched at the

the Bellevue grounds at the East river
and Twenty-sixth street. On pleasant
afternoon, along with couple of COM
panions, / strolled about the grounds of
the old stone house of suffering where
so many of our profession have cashed
their checks and then we accepted the
invitation of Mr. White, the morgue
keeper, to visit the house of the dead
He was an exceedingly cordial and
affable sort of a fellow. There were
about twenty dead men and women on
the slabs, some tagged and ready for
the next boat TO the Potter's field, and
others awaiting Identification.
"We have pretty fair collection of
finds to-day" said the morgue keeper
in his matter-of-fact way.
He then went on to tell us how many
unknown dead were brought to the
morgue from the two rivers and New
York bay last year. think he said
that during period of twelve months
that had just passed more than four
hundred bodies had been buried in Pot

the sale of $5J0O0.000 bonds would
simply draw more gold into the treasury
from the peoples pockets to be shipped
abroad in a few months. More per-
manent means for remedy must be
adopted. The only sufficient remedy
lies in ceasing the purchase of silver.
If the application of that remedy can
be forced from Congress at the expense
of the country's experience in a finan-
cial crisis, however slight that may be
be, perhaps the sooner that crisis is met
the better it will be tor all. The longer
il is averted and the longer we continue
to pile up deprecated silver the more
severe will be the panic when it comes.
If the policy of the administration is to
force matters to a crisis it has done well

THE SPRING CAMPAIGN

There is never much Of a campaign on
the Democratic side when there Is not q

On the Republican side there is as yet
no sign amy sort Of a contest. Gov
Brown has made such good record
that there is no disposition TO deny him
the nomination for a second term. The
only suggestion OF opposition 10 his

NO MORE PALLIATIyES.

If the consensus OF opinion Of the
country's bankers and leading business
men is of any value, the "present con-
ditions" do demand that the gold re-
serve should be strengthened. In four
years ending Jan. 10, 1898. the
banks of England, Germany, France
and Austria have gained S207, 900, 900
of gold, and all but $63. 900. 900
has been drawn from this country. Dur
ing most of that period, too, and until
very recently, the balance of trade was
in our favor. Foreign indebtedness to
us grew to S2s2, ,OO0, 900 in the time men
toned, and yet we exported $144, ,O0O, 900
gold. Since the Sherman act became a
law, in 1890, the treasury gold reserve
has decreased from Sl49, 000. 900 TO slOs.-
600, 900.
There is to be added the further most
serious point in which the present situa-
tion differs from that of last year. when
the treasury gold was also reduced TO a
low point-and that is, that then the
balance Of trade was in our favor and
gold exports promised 10 cease. Now
the contrary is true Falling off of our
exports, extensive foreign travel
and the enormous imports under
the Mckinley bill have turned the
balance of trade against this country.

dence Of continuing indefinitely. III i'm
