BACK TO THE NORMAL,

We are hearing little less of the
rant about ruined Industries and idle
mills, and wageless labor "eating the
bread of idleness," than we did some
time ago, though Chauncey Depew
gave it a faint echo in his recent inter-
view. Democratic hard times" hasn't
the partisan potentialities it pos
seSSed a year ago as ShibbO-
leth. 1t has lost its roar in
the steadily increasing hum of the busy
wheels of industry, which began to re-
vive as soon as the repeal of the silver
purchase act had measurably restored
confidence in the solvency Of our cur
rency. 1t gives the lie TO every state
ment that the panic was due 10 dread
of Democratic ''tariff-tinkeriug," be-
cause the tinkering has gone on with
provoking deliberation and the indus
tries are steadily reviving.
The wooden industry shows the con-
struction of 116 new mills in the first
half-year of 1894, as against 1877 in the
same term of 1893. The weekly product
of the iron furnaces tells the same story.
In May, 1893. when the storm broke,
the product for the preceding week
was 1Sl, ISL tons, and began to diminish
rapidly, until it touched 1885 tons
for the week ending Oct. L Since
then there has been revival
showing a gradual and steady increase.
Print cloths and pig iron are the two
barometers whose readings show accu-
rately the trade conditions. The in
crease in iron product has been exactly
commensurate with that steady re-
covery from the staggering blow
of the panic that marks every
other business. Compared with
the feverish rush of the boom it
seems slow, butt is as healthy as that
was unhealthy. The pig iron output
reached 1885, 1872 tons by April /, and was
then checked by the impending coal
troubles. under which it fell off to 81, SIT
June 1. The strike will cause a
diminution for July. undoubtedly, but
these are only temporary checks, him
dering but not stopping return to nor

occupation is fast going.

A QUESTION OF HONESTY.

Why should not the same code of
honor that governs men in speculative
transactions apply with equal force to
men engaged i'll commercial pursuits ?
On the several boards of trade and
commercial exchanges of the country a
mans word is contract, and is treated
as such by the governing committees.
Millions of dollars worth of property
changes hands hourly during the board
meetings, and there is nothing to attest
the agreement between the parties in
interest save brief memorandum kept
by either of the parties. A man may
agree to sell or to buy million bushels
Of wheat, half a million barrels of pork,
or produce of any other sort at stipu-
lated price, and if the market turns
against him he makes up the difference
between the price he agreed to receive or
pay without murmur. If he gains by
the transaction. we'll and good; if he
loses, he pockets his modification and
his losses. pays for his whistle and says
no more about it. In all such bodies Of
traders Hen stand upon their honor.
Their transactions are not always of ap-
proved legality, but there is scarcely an
instance OH record Of Spectator en-
deayoring to take advantage of techni-
caiity to escape loss. And the few
who have refused to meet their obliga-
tons on such grounds are not only os-
tracised by their associates, but they are
expelled from membership in the ex-
change and never again permitted to
darken: its doors.
The sacredness of contracts, even
though they be but verbal, is the main
/ safeguard of our commercial life. AL
most every day we hear of men sur
| rendering their entire property to sat
| isfy an obligation which could not be
| enforced In court of law. Men have
beggared themselves rather than violate
contract they may have entered into,
| perhaps under stress Of monetary ex-
element and under misapprehension
| of trade conditions. Scores of men
draw their checks for the last dollar
they possess in order to satisfy what
! some men sneeringly term "a gambling
debt" Such it may be in fact. but it is.
nevertheless, debt of honor. aud is
| paid 10 the uttermost farthing.
! Should there be one code Of morality
and ethics for the speculator in stocks,
bonds or produce, and the speculator in
the market value of his own labor
Should the former be required to live up
to the aIetter of his contracts, verbal as
they for the most part are, and the lat
ter be permitted to violate his agree
ments whenever he sees proper? This
is the contention of the labor leaders OF
today. They declare that any contr act
they may make with their empl oyers is

THE SUSPENDED PENSIONS.

Senator Cullom took the opportunity
afforded by the discussion OF tho appro-
priation for pensions to make the
customary partisan attack upon the
policy of the pension bureau of
this administration. He incorpor-
ated in this speech the tabulated
statement prepared by Commits
sioner L0chrsn, giving the names of the
pensioners who were suspended be-
tween March 4. '93, and May 10. '94,
with the final action Of the bureau on
the cases. Of the 1880 suspensions,
$500 were restored at the same rate,
3,O14 were reduced, 2,671 were dropped
from the rolls, and 326 were still sus-
pended. OF those resumed at lower
rate, II are residents Of Minnesota.
The list Of those dropped from the
pension rolls contains embarrassing
features. There are number of widows
dropped because they were not the legal
widows of the soldiers or sailors on
account Of whose death they were pen
stoned, while another class of widows,
rather too numerous, were dropped
on account of immoral conduct
Quite number of pensioners
were dropped because their dis
ability had ceased to exist within a pen
sionable degree; others because they
were dishonorably discharged from the
service, or had deserted It; others be-
cause they had not performed ninety
days service. A long list embraces
those dropped because their declarations

Gallery asked him if he so thought

out of which it was made were taxed
