The Collapse OF the PopuiI.ts.

One of the most palpable and sig
n%ificant features of the recent elections
is the collapse of the Populists. Tkey
do not seem to have figured in any
potent way in any of the voting
States. The returns show that their
strength has been everywhere materi-
ally reduced. They have los a single
thing to boast of in all the long list of
things that t%ranspired on the 9TH inst.
Wherever they made a fight they
we're beaten. In not one of the States
where they were formidable last year
have they been able to hold their own
this year. They encountered a pro-
nounced defeat in Kansas, they were
badly worsted in Nebraska. they made
a miserable failure in Virginia, and
they were practically eliminated from
the political situation in Kentucky.
We heard a great deal before the
election about the large gains that
they were sure to make, but the re-
suit proves that they have been losing
ground all yer the country at a re-
msvkably rapid rate, and that they
have no reason TO suppose that their
party will be in existence in 1896.
There has never before been such a
considerable lessening of political vi
talitv in any political party in a SINH
lar period; and it is moi to be doubt
cd that the process of weakening and
dIsintegration will go OH swiftly un-
til there shall be nothing lett of the
thing but a bad smell.
This was certain from the start to
be the fate of the Populist movement.
1t never had any substantial basis,
and never represented any legitimate
object. At the most, il was only an
aggregation OF cranks, led by un-
scrupulous demagogues and disap-
pointed oficc-seckcrs. There was
nothing in it TO inspire public respect
or confidence. The things that ii
proposed to accomplish were mani
testify impossible; the doctrines that
it taught were obviously irrational
and pcrnicious. 1t gained a certain
degree of success by force of excep-
tiOnal circumstances, and because of
glowing promises that were credited
without serious consideration. The
people who took stock in it were
generally actuated by honest motives,
and they soon began 10 discover that
they had been deceived. That is the
way with these new organizations
which propose to inauguratc a politi-
cal millennium. They thrive for a
season on the crcdulitv of a certain
class of voters, and then comes in
evitable decay and dissolution. In
the present instance, this result has
ensucd sooner than usual. because the
party was more than usually ridlcu-
lous in its prctensions and undertake
ingS. The concern will lingcr along
in a loose and ineffective manner for
a few years, perhaps, but lis days are
numbered. Il will never again be as
strong as it has been. The people
have found it out, and will keep away
from it. That is the meaning of its
reduced vote i'll the recent election:
and its leaders may as well be look
ing for some other occupation

Under the free trade policy Of the
Democratic party, labor, merchandise,
real estate, live stock, produce-in tact
everything-is coming down, and will
continue to do so. Everything? No.
There is one thing that will not get
cheaper, and that is the most Impart-
ant item of all-money. The laborer.
the merchant, the manufacturer, the
farmer, men in every branch of in
dustry, will lose money by the change
from protection to free trade. Only
the capiiist gains by it, for then his
money will buy for him very much
more labor, more merchandise, more
real estate, than before. The Demo-
cratic policy has always tended to
make the erich richer and the poor
poorer"

Money is not as scarce an article

and since last Tuesdays elections Is
considerably easier to be obtsined
by those who need it in the course Of
CARRYING on their business. Every
body has loosened the grip on the
dollar, so to speak, out most notably
the banks. Their Golfers In filling
up, TO a certain extent, and the inflow
and outflow are getting larger day by
day. The banks are now willing to
grant favors to their customers, and
have also greatly relaxed their former
rigid inspection of the securities Of

ais are demanded, but all within
reason. With the banks more ac-

business has picked up considerably
in all quarters. it being almost
evenly divided between the mcr-
camille aud manufacturing inter-

il was before the panic set i'll. still the

That unfalling barometer, the clearing
house, records an improvem mt which

two or three days the Eastern money
centers. as Boston and New York,
have taken encouragement from the
election returns, and have decided TO
let the people have all the money
they want at former rates. May of
the ST. Louis banks have received no.
tees from their Eastern correspond
cnts that should they find opening
for $4,000 to 100000 loans they
could be obtained through them.
The President of a prominent bank
said that money was getting abund-
ant, but so far rates have not come
down. and most Of the time loans are
being ut Z per cent. Borrowers are
already insisting on a 6 per cent. rate,
forgetting or overlooking the fact
that the striugency is of so recent a
date.
All the bank officials interviewed
admitted that the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman law
and the result of the elections were
the direct causes which produced the
transformation. The demand for
money is fair and rapidly increasing.
