The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-11-24

The election is over and the yer
dict Of the nation has been rendered
with such emphasis that none can
it. It was the logi-
cal result of two great causes, either
of which was quite enough to defeat
a party in power Serious financial
disturbance, followed by business
paralysis and industrial depression,
both resulting chiefly, if not wholly, !
from causes for which the party now
in power il in no way responsible,
were sufficiently potent to breed po-
litical revolution. No party in pow
er has ever been able to escape de-
feat when business and industrial
distress prevailed throughout the
country. Another cause that was
quite sufficient in itself to defeat the
Democratic party at the late election
was the discordant and laundering
action of the Democrats in Congress.
When the great material interests of
the country awaited legislation on
both the financial and the tariff ques
tions, and when promptness was in
dispensible to meet the needs of the
occasion, there were months of need
less delay and such confusion In
counsels and such absence of states
manship that public confidence was
forfeited and defeat was as logical
as the setting of the sun.
Now that the election is over let
US to business. The work of the ca
lamity bowler is ended The desola
ton reveller can no longer ply his
vocation. A great party with it's
leaders ana its presses reaching a
large proportion of the people has
done everything to hinder the return
of business activity and the restora-
tion of public confidence. 1t was the
political stock in trade of the Repub
lican party in the late contest, as it
would have been the chief stock in
trade Of the other party had posi-
tions been reversed. In defiance of
all the calamity howlers during the
last three months business has been
steadily reviving; industry has been
quiekening in every section of the
country; our great transportation
lines have rapidly increased their
business, and throughout every chan
mel of commerce and trade there have
been steadily increasing confidence
and improved business conditions.
When this was done in the face of a
great party reyelling in desolation
and magnifyiug it to the utmost,
there is every reason why business
should now revive with increased &C
tiyity and general commercial and
industrial prosperity be speedily at
tanned
The Republican leaders will claim
that the business revival is due to
the success of their party at the late
election. They sought to hinder any
improvement in commerce and trade
from the beginning to the close of
the campaign. Their orators shud-
dered when they saw the smoke com
ing from the stacks of our furnaces,
and the music of our spindles grated
harshly upon their ears, but now
they want prosperity and will help
instead of hindering the country to
attain it, Let them claim what they
will as to why prosperity is coming;
that is of little consequence. The
great need is the hearty co operation
of all parties aud all interests to in
spire business confidence in the high
est degree, and thus give employ
ment to our labor and happiness to
our people Politicians are now out
of the way of improvement in com
merce and trade, and let all with one
accord unite to promote healthy and
enduring business prosperity.-PhH-
