NOW FOR BUSINESS.

One blessing that we have right to ex
pect as sequel of the November elections
is the passing away Of the calamity bowler.
The Republican campaign speakers and
writers have professed to believe that the
great industrial and commercial depression
that has been felt through the whole world
was caused by Democratic ascendency in
the United States OF course they knew bet
ter, but they had an opportunity in this to in
fluence ignorant voters, and they made the
most Of it. The calamity bowler has now
had his day, and he ought TO give the bust
ness interests OF the country q chance.
Perhaps those who locked for speedy
peal of the Sherman act and the modification
of the Mckinley tariff, which had jointly
precipitated the panic in this country, under.
estimated the bad effects fthose mischievous
measures and the extent of the 70 adjust
ment necessary for the restoration of conf
dence, but it is plain to every observer that
at this time, as so many times before, the
recuperative powers of the people have
manifested themselves more quickly, and
that the conditions for industrial improve.
ment have been better in the United States
since the enactment of the new tariff than
they have yet appeared abroad. AT the same
time there can be ne doubt that this re-
covery has been very much delayed by the
agitation of political campaign, and espe,
cially by the determined assaults Of cam
paign orators and the party organs upon
public credit and confidence 1t is true that
business has been going on actively in spite
OF these drawbacks, but it has been hin
dered by them. 1t is likely to go on all the
faster now, and there will no longer be any
pretext for partisan Misrepresentation.
Indeed it is not too much to predict that
those who have been crying calamity up 10
this point will now begin to recognize the
revival in business, and will take the credit
Of il TO themselves, ascribing the improve
ment from this time onward TO Republican
victories. This will be quite as illogical and
absurd as the former outcry, but it will at
least be harmless. The Republicans in Con.
gress will have no opportunity TO do any
thing to influence business, even if they had
policy, Of which they have given no def
mite indication as vet But prosperity is
coming all the same, and they will have no
motive for obstructing it.
We may thus reasonably hope that the
trade revival which has already begun with
such healthy strength will go on from this
time with quickening activity, and it will
make very little difference who may claim
the credit of it. This country is abundantly
able to take care Of itself All that it wants
is for the politicians TO give II a chance, and
we may rejoice that the day of the calamity
howler is over

TARIFF REFORM NOT REBUKED

Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, of West Virginia
in recent letter gives his views of the
causes of Democratic defeat at the election
held last week:
"Undoubtedly there were local influences,
as there were individual candidates. and
iactional fights that contributed to and EN-
phasized the general result, but il must be
admitted that there were strong forces every
where operative that really shaped and
brought about that result.
1.-THE greatest of all these forces was the
severe industrial depression that for year
or more past has hardened the lot and made
anxious the lives of a large section Of ouI
people. Hard times is an enemy before
which no political party in America has
ever been. able 10 make a successful stand
when in power.
"Without attempting to apportion the re.
sponsibility for the hard times between the
two parties, but stoutly disclaiming any
large share OF ii for the Democratic party,
pass from these congratulations to the second
point, and that is the defeat of tariff reform
- 81 do not believe the people have rebuked
or discarded tariff reform in their action
last Tuesday, for when | look over the
whole country do not find that to have
been the common ground of their action
No question was ever so well and so thor
oughly fought ont in popular discussion he
fore them as the question of reforming and
reducing the tariff In every campaign from
that of 1886 TO that of 1899 II has been the
great issue, and in every campaign except
that of 1888 the Democratic party has won
decided victory on that issue.
80 contend, therefore, that the people
have now chastised the Democratic party
for doing what they put it into their power
10 do is TO question their honesty and intel
4 ligence. II they have inflicted chastisement
because of its dealings with the tariff ii has
been rather because the party did not carry
out with sufficient promptness and thorough
ness the work they committed to II, and he
cause they held the whole party responsible
for the action OF few of its Representatives
in thwarting, delaying and manning this
great work
"The long and indefensble delay in the
Senate, the sinister suspicious that gathered
around certain schedules and duties as
there iramed-nowhere more vigorously de
nounced than in the Democratic press OF
country-kindled a disappointment and a
disgust among the rank and file of the party
that led TO apathy and even misjudged hos.
tility in the recent elections
ut is hazardous, Of course, to indulge in
hypothetics, but have no doubt that had
the bill, which passed the House on the first
day of February, passed the Senate as early
as April or May, in substantially its original
shape, the result in Missouri and many other
sections Of the country would have been re-
versed and the Democratic party might even
have weathered the industrial storm with
credit, il not success"

Gratis. When we declare that all protec-
tion Is in its nature robbery we utter a
profound truth, but those who openl,
support protection Oh the other side, at
least believe in its value, but we who
know what protection really is, when we
give it to few individuals and deny it
to others, or when we bestow it among
our cit zens in unequal proportion, are
committing crime with our eyes wide
open, we are SHINING against the light;
we are hugging to our breasts the enor-
nifty that we affect to despise and that
we have not hesitated to denounce.
This seems to- be pretty sound sort of
argument, and unlss it is shown to be
otherwise it proves conclusively that the
Gorman-Brice measure is as Mr. Cochran
declares far more obnoxious measure

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Argus, has not favored US yet with any
very explicit statement of it's opinion of
the tariff bill, but it seems inclined to
take the ground that while it is not an
ideal measure it is at least an improve
ment on the Mckinley bill. Now before
the Argus entirely commits itself to
that position we want it to peruse some
good Democratic opinion on the subject.
The Hon. Bonrke Cochran of New York
is good Democrat. There is no doubt
about that. Now Mr.. Cochran declares
that this bill is a "more obnoxious
protective measure than the Mckinley
act," and he goes on to prove it in the
language which we commend to the at
tentive consideration of the Argus:
What is the principle that underlies
the Mckinley law? What is our objec
ton to it? We are opposed to protection
because we believe that by making pro-
ductlon expensive it restricts the total
| productive capacity of the country and
to that extent limits, impedes, and re-
strlcts its material growth. But when
protection is given equally to all, when
every man gets the protection that be
demands oil think he needs, each man
finds his product restricted in proportion
to his neighbours.
Under snch conditions men exchange
their goods nron "a fictitious basis OF
high values, but all are affeeted alike
by what conceive to be that economic
enormity. Now, under this act, it is
| only in spots that there is any reduction
made from the provisions of the McKin-
ley act, from the burdens of taxation laid
upon the people by that law.
Now, when protection passes by fav-
oritism, there is no defense for it either
among Republicans or among Demo

The Hon. Grover Cleveland, President
of the United States, enjoys the repu-
tation of being a man of strong convic-
tions and with the courage to maintain
them against any amount of pressure.
His strength with the people today rests
almost entirely upon this fact. He is
not profound thinker, he is not mag
netic man. He is cold and repellant,
and his manners are anything but
pleasing. His backbone is the only
element in his structure which COM
nlands admiration. That commands it
because it is supposed to be stiff and
unyielding. Is this superstition correct
or incorrect? That is to be decided
within the next three or four days, and
the character of the decision will show
whether the admiration for Cleveland
has been we'll founded and deserved, or
whether it has been based on an exag
Grated idea of the strength of his back
bone
If Cleveland signs the tariff bill, or
what amounts to the same thing, allows
it to become law without his sigma
ture, his reputation for courage is gone,
and it will never be possible to rein
state him in the position he now oc-
cupies in the minds of the people. That
act can be made to wear no other .guise
thf that Of abJect surrender done I'M
der circumstances that will make it par
itcularly humiliating.

The idea that the President escapes
any responsibility for the Gorman-Brice
bill by allowing it to become a law with
out his signature is absurd. He knows
that the effect of not signing is precise
ly the same as that of signing. He has
the right to choose between two methods
of making the bill a law, and because
be chooses the indirect method rather
than the direct one doesn't relieve him
of one particle of responsibility. His
choice of the indirect will rather tend to
emphasize his humiliation than other

The Lewiston Journal says the Hon.
John W.Deering is making a campaign
not for Congress. but for the Portland
custom house. NoW if this be so-and
we suspect that there is some truth i'll
tit behooves Mr.. Deering to get on tc
some eminence that commands large
area of country, as soon as possible, and
sound the praises of Grover Cleveland.
He never can get the Presidents ear by
delivering orations on prohibition. He
must initiate the other candidates IN
clarifying Cleveland, only he must &C

to do that, we admit, for those gentle
men have pronounced some very fervid
panegyrics on the great man, but still
the possibilities of the language are not
quite exhausted.

The Argus is defending the Gorman-
BrIce bill on the ground that it is as
good protective measure as the one
which the Mckinley law supplanted.
We believe that the Argus used to re-
gard that measure as very ubiquitous
