there Is nothing easier to do than to
complain. The weather is Invariably
too hot or too cold. too wet or too
dry, and the times are sadly out OF
joint. Persons who go to church
complain Of the dry sermons they are
compelled to listen to, and attribute
their drowsiness to the lack OF ear
nestness exhibited In their delivery,
while the preachers complain OF the
dispirltlng effect OF so many empty
eeats, and the listlessness and lndlffer-

The ordinations and recrimlnations

they may do as we'll as circumstances
will allow, it might be inferred from
the various failures to conform to the
discipline, that their short comings
were SO monumental as to preclude
their entrance into, Paradise. Those who

Captain e. r. Bevarldge OF the Brit.

rived with cargo OF nitrate soda for
the DUPONT powder works. He saw
the destruction OF the American steam.
ship Frederick Billings. In the port OF
Plsagua, Chill, and tolls of It In very
graphic manner. The st. Julian was
lying about five hundred yards away
from the steamship whom she caught
fire.
She was loaded with nitrate soda
and expected to sail In a few days.
About midnight on July Goth fire was
discovered on board the steamship,
and after much difficulty the captain
and his family were rescued from the
ship. They had hardly left the steamer
when tho bags OF nitrate began to ex-
plode, and were thrown 20 feet or more
In the air.
The cargo OF 1000 tons blew the
steamer TO atoms. 1t was one OF the
awfullest, as well as grandest sight
that ever had witnessed at sea.

The Cause of Business Depression.
1t is now admitted by sensible men
that the threatened reduction of the
tariff is the real and only cause Of the
depression of business which has
caused so much wide spread misery
In our country. The loss experienced
is the price the people pay for the
election OF Cleveland on platform
which declares all protection to be "a
fraud. The warnings of the Republi.
cans were unheeded. the working peo-
pie believing that they were being I'M
Justly dealt with. They voted for q
change" and we are all In tho ditch to-.
gether. They may learn wisdom from
their suffering, II they do not prefer
to belleve the untruths of political
knaves, to the truths uttered by pat
riots and statesmen.
The panic was inaugurated by bust
ness men declining to buy at protec-
tion prices with the probability OF
having to sell at greatly reduced
b1sis, and manufacturers will not
make goods for doubtful market
with the probability of having 20 sell
at entirely different rates. Tho result
Is that the merchant 10 buying only
such goods as he thinks will supply
the wants of his customers. and the
manufacturer Is forced to curtail his
operations or be swan ped financially
hu 81
Stagnatlol inevitably followed. and
will continue until the uncertainty
which has now prevailed about the
tariff for over year has been removed.
The men who attributed business
depression TO the purchase OF silver
made great mistake. We said Their
and we say now, the silver act was
more "bogy," a raw head and bloody
bones, to frlghten the people into a
gold standard il possible. Its repeal
had no perceptible eject on trade, and
SO far as stocks were concerned, they
were selling on Nov. /. the date of its
repeal higher than they are at this
date 1t Is the same with cotton, it
sold at 1923 per pound the day the
President signed the silver repea. bill,
and 1t has now dropped down to 100.
We have followed the line OF argu.
ment of Chas Howell, of Atlanta, Ga,
in the above, and he should DO good
authority among Democrats, and we
agree with him, II the matter 10 not
soon disposed Of, the penalty Of tho
folly will be a Republican Congress
after this one.
