 travelling, less business for the railroads generally, less money for everybody, lcs' money for me. Merchants laid in smaller stocks of goods; business men all around curtailed their operations. There's less work and less money for everybody. Busi- ness is dull. Next fall I and others shall vote for the party which is against policy that leads to heavier importatiorS.
 "Now," said Mir. Wakcman, II do not know that cIn add anything to that lit tie talk by th;S railroad engineer that vii! mako my view of the cause of the contin ued depression any clearer. The engineer and his friends did as he said they would last fall. When the tariff question is set tied right, business will pick up
 Slightly Populistic.
 Hon. A. Foster Higgins, vice president of the New York chamber of commerce, a man of Republican dntecedents, who voted for Cleveland, and who made forcible ad dress before the chamber of commerce last spring against the resolutions favoring rc- peal, said
 II am satisfied as was when the cry for repeal was loudest, that adherence to a monometallic standard of currency will crush the debtor class out of existence. It is the debtor that carries on the worlds business, and whenever conditions are as they now are the worlds business will languish. Almost the entire civilized world Is today trying to do business with gold alone, and the result Is worldwide depression. ...
 ''It Is not tho moneyed man who takes risks It is the man whose wealth has yet to be won, who, with splendid pluck and nerve, risks everything and assumes heavy obligations in order that he may prosecute the enterprises that result in material progress and improvement. Now, If we have for the basis of our currency metal that is constantly diminishing in quanti- ty and increasing in price, as gold certain ly is, the man who becomes debtor today in the sum of $2O, GOO may have to meet his obligation when 1t falls due, some years from now, with the equivalent of $50, 900, and he may find it impossible to pay at all, in which case, of course, he will be wiped out. Gold Is now at premium, though some gold monometallists deny 1t To say that prices have been steadily going down Is only another way of saying that gold has been going up The adoption of gold standard by all the strongest ma tions of the earth, and that has already been done, will infallibly tend to still fur ther enhancement of tho value of the vel low metal, and series of periodical crash es is sure to follow unless q change of financial policy be made More money is

CO.OperatiVeT
 Company. l50 South Main St.,

With the opening of the Spring Season We would call attention to one of the finest selections of Imported and Domestic WooIens ever placed be- fore the public.
 Determined to merit a continuance of the pat, ronaoe so literally bestoW. ed on us in the past, We shall continue to lead in the making of Garments in Excellence of Quality, and Moderation of Price.
 For instance, our 2O44l is a fine Clay Diagonal in deep black or blue black, Of which We will make Suits to order in the most approved style and perfect workmanship for $25.
 Our 2O38 and 2O20 are respectively a fine i'm. ported Yale Diagonal and Birds Eye Worsted, of which We shall make up suits in same manner, and for the same price.
 Our 2187, 2177, 2O80 2O9O, and a great many others, are strict Iy all wool black idbits, CheV. tot or fancy Cassimeres of which we'll make up Suits to order from SIS to $2O.
 Realizing that we have just passed through a serious business depres. and that it would therefore be inconsistent for some of our patrons to pay for a suit of Clothes all at one time, we will in the future, as in the past Deliver Garments on weekly payments.
 ES~By request of great many of our patrons we have arranged for department where We will do Repairing, Cleaning and Pressing of Garments at the Lowest Prices and at the shortest notice.

S and factories, and merchants are afraid to buy, pending action on this most impor- tant matter. Still think that the stocks of goods of all sorts have run so low that merchants must begin to replenish soon. This will of course cause some revival of manufactures, and the situation will ease little, at least temporarily. But there will be no permanent revival of business until tariff bill is passed and approved
 A Republican Opinion.
 Hon. Henry w. Cannon, president of the Chase National bank, ex comptroller of the United States currency and Re publican, said:
 II am of the opinion that the depression in business was more extended and aggra- vated than was at first believed, and that the repeal of the silver bullion purchase act was not sufficient in itself to produce immediate restoration of confidence. Many people entertained the belief that such re- peal would not necessarily bring about d revival in business, but would have a sal utary effect in preventing serious financial changes ill this country and by giving renewed assurance that our finances were not to be placed on silver basis. Notwith standing recent attempts at hostile legiSla tion, am of the opinion that normal con ditions will prevail before the close of the present year, and that business will show marked improvement generally
 Believes In Protection and Is Not Afraid of
 Silver.
 Wilbur r. Wakeman secretary of the American Protective Tariff league, smiled when put the question to him.
 "In the first place, " said Mir. Wakeman, "the Sherman law had nothing to do with the depression, except as matter of senti- ment. By this I mean to say that some persons perhaps were scared into with drawing their money from business be- cause of the talk that the Sherman law would bring disaster, but that was the ex- tent of its influence. Of course 1 believe that 1t is the fear of tariff reduction that is at fault. I had talk with railroad engineer in Ohio last spring that will il lustrate my ideas perfectly. l asked him about the business of the road.
 "'It's pretty bad, he replied, and it will be worsc if they cut the tariff I did not pay any attention to the tariff in 1892. Thousands of others were just like mo. Ohio came near going Democratic. The
