The General Result.

Inc OLD party Hnlcn is IN power
showed such stupidity and incapacity,
and such open and startling sub
serviency to the trusts, that the peo-
pie deserted it enmasse for the other
old party in revenge and disgust, as
the lesser of two evils-and hence
the results of the election. The hard
times which have prevailed since the
return of the Democrats to power
had also great influence in favor of
the Republicans, under whom times
had happened to be better. But the
election, look the field over as you
will, settle nothing; it was contested
nominally on the tariff question, hut
(as proven by conarison of the
Mckinley and the Gorman-W,lson
laws) the struggle was not fer any
principle. but over a mere difference
in PERCENTAGE of the duties levied.
One made them average AZ per cent
the other 81. As we said, the result
shows only the widespread popular
dissatisfaction toward one of the old
twins, just as the election of 1892 ex-
pressed in still greater degree the
popular dissatisfaction toward the
other.
Beneath all this popular dlssat-
isfaction, and it's overwhelming and
angry expression directed in both
instances against the party which
was in power, the thoughtful man will
see the dominant factor of popular
discomfort; in each instance the peo-
pie, like a bound and doing giant,
awakened for a moment by the in
creased pain of their shackles, and
striking..down of representative of
the ruling authority which at the
moment stood over them. 1t shows
that the people realized, though most
Of them as yet only in vague way,
what it is that hurts them bad laws
and bad government. This is the
true lesson Of, the two unusually
great parties in the short term of
two years. 1t contains the cheering
promise that this people. when they
get thoroughly awakned and enlight-
ened as to the cause Of their condi-
ton, will overturn both of the old
parties for good and establish the one
which is pledged to their cmarcipa-
ton from the Shylock bonds which
Cypress and pain them.
The most conspicuous feature of
the election, after the great Demo
cratic overturn (though the old party
papers strive to keep it in the back
SlOUll(t, VI give ~ SluNIl IuCuIlOu), lS
the immence gains in votes made by
the Peoples party, particularly in the
south and west. In great many
localities the Peoples party is the
second party in point of votes. Here
in Iowa, tellegrams received by the
Tribune, samples Of which we print
in another article, show Populist
gains ranging from 50. to 700 per cent
Well informed observers in both the
old parties already admit that the
fight hereafter for national control is
between the Republicans and the
Populists, each of these parties attract
ing to itself, regardless of past party
affiliations, the voters who incline to
their respective. beliefs on the money
question.-Farmers Tribune.

all, there are no strikes, because en-

monarchy where ulta conservatism
and traditional practices are suppos
ed to characterize the ruling powers
