the value of the suit depends upon the
man who makes it. Cloths and materials do
not differ materially, but cutters and filters
do. It's the small things that show the fit

make an expensive suit resemble scarecrow.

shows that both failures and liza bill.
ties for the second and third quarters
this year were decidedly less than for
the corresponding quarters last year.
There was no panic during the first
quarter of 1898, and yet the number Of
failures and the amount of liabilities
were both greater than during either
the second or the third quarter of the
present year. In other words, there
have been less business disasters in
the same length of time since the LIST
of April this year than there were dur
ing the first quarter of 1898, when, ac-
cording to the protection philosophers,
the country was still on the mountain
top Of prosperity, where it had been
placed by the Mckinley act.
The comparison shows that the panic
had nearly spent its force by the be.
ginning of the present year and that
since the first quarter of the year fail.
ures have not been more than orai.
narily numerous or disastrous.
This is another fact which the ca.
lamity howlers will keep out of sight
as much as possible. It is fact
which, with many others, demon
strates that under a democratic ad-
ministration and policy the country
has been recovering from the disas-
trous effects of the republican panic of
1S93.-ChicagO Herald.

In making a ton of iron, a yard of dress

would find out that the American
manufacturer pays less than the Eng
lish and great deal less than the
Spanish or Italian.
Hence, to reduce duties to meet the
republican platforms demand would
be to abolish them altogcther. OF
course, the republicans did not intend
to demand free trade. but to construe
their platform according to the known
facts of manufacturing production
would be to liberate trade, absolutely
and finally.
Both the republican platform of 1899
and the logical republican candidate
for 1896 have either lied to the Ameri-
can people or have exposed a singular
ignorance of facts. The second Suppo-
sition is true one in McKinley's case.
He is probably the most ignorant man
that ever led on an economic issue in
any country. He gave himself over
early to commonplace generalizations
and has done no more in his later
career.
If he knew what he was talking
about his speeches would be wretched
and ghastly examples of falsehood.
But he does not know. He prates and
prates and prates. He never debates
a definite proposition and never yet
even proposed to encounter an econ
omist.
The intelligent worl<ingman can un-
horse this prater by asking him: You
had a chance to raise wages, and why
did you only raise the tariff?''-St-
