POLITICAL NOTES.

| 1t is safe prediction that no general
election in this country will ever again
! be contested on the issue of Mckinley
ism. 1t may affect the election of Con
will not last beyond that.-Boston Post
| Oem).
| AS the fruit of Democratic victory, the
odious and commerce destroying McKin-
| ley law was repealed and at once the
revival of trade set in. Idle factories
are preparing to start up. Mills and
FORCES and furnaces are getting ready
I to resume operations and the outlook Is
for restoration of prosperity and the
| resumption of that condition which af-
| fordS plenty of work and wages" But
! it won't be the Republican party that
understands that fact.-Kansas City
Times Oem).
| But of the single gold standard Eos
which the Sun pleads the Times has GER
! tain things to say. Under the execrable
monetary policy mills are stopping, wages
and profits alike are reduced, the far
mer finds his utmost efforts barely ade-
quate to support himself and his family
without meeting the interest of the in
evitable mortgage, the city artisan and
Wage-Worker of every class finds his pay
cut down and his days of labor fewer,
the merchant sees his customers coming
less often and with less money in their
hands, the manufacturer is compelled to
shut down his mills because of over
production" or to cut the wages of his
employees because of low prices These
are the conditions which gold monometal-
lism has brought upon the people.-Chi-
cago Times Oem.).
As between barrel candidates, the
chances will be overwhelmingly in Nor
toms favor. But good man nominated
on his merits can beat the barrel BOOM
ers in New York this time and every
time.-N. Y. World 0em.).
We notice thassdhe keynote of the Re
publican campaign orators is calamity.
They predict that the new tariff law Will
bring harder times than ever and that
there will be no general or lasting pros
perity until it is repealed and Mckinley
protection restored.
Meanwhile business is picking up and
trade revivlng all over the country. The
tide of prosperity has set in with every
prospect of steadily rising. The people
have had enough of McKinleyism and
viii tolerate no more. Tariff reform is
headed onward, not backward.
The calamity howlers do not seem to
realize that protection is lost cause
n. Y. Herald Qnd.).
If the police cannot prevent organized
highway robbery at 9 o'clock in the even
ing at Fifth avenue and Twelfth street
or Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street,
what is the use of the police at all? If
such things are to happen and go on I'M
punished, men who have occasion to be
abroad in the evening will believe that it
behooves them to protect themselves.
They will not be pleased to learn that
they can lawfully arm themselves for
self-protection without paying $40 for the
privilege to the police pension fund.-N.
Y. Times (Dem9.
The cry for silver at the ratio of 16 to
originated IN the silver states, and is
as nonsensical as would be a demand
from the corn states that corn must
bring dollar a bushel, no matter what
the ruling price. For the United States
to arbitrarily declare that silver is worth
one-sixteenth as much as gold. would be
like the Illinois legislature fixing a high
price for corn, and paying the price out
of the state funds, although corn might
be worth much less in Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri or Pennsyl-
vania.-Atchison Globe Rep.).
