HOW TIMES BRIGHTEN.

The encouraging signs of the times have relegated all croakers to the rear. Everything everywhere is looking up, and prosperity is breaking upon this whole country. The Chicago Tribune gives the names and locations of 162 factories, mills, iron works and the like which, in the last four months, have raised the wages of their employees to the extent of to 20 per cent. These are only portion of 240 such establishments that have increased wages, and about ,OOO wage-earners have shared in the benefits The average increase in wages is put down at 11A per cent to every employe.
 During the first part of June Brad streets published the result of an in- aury as to the increase of wages in seventy-five cities east of the Rocky mountains since April l. Then it was estimated that 2i7 factories had ad- vanced the wages of their employees, and lTS,O00 men had been affected Since that time. however. others have followed the example of their predecessors, and the list of wage earners which the Tri- bune recently presented numbers over 250, ,O00 During the last three months be- sides those firms which have made an in- crease in wages, great many new fac tories, or old ones which have been idle for several years, have fopened, thus giving employment to additional hands, These numbers are estimated at 227 fac tories, furnishing employment to over 52,0O0 persons previously out of work.
 The figures and facts presented by the Chicago paper embrace factories en- gagged in the production of almost every commodity, and the increase of wages in the great ma iority of cases was volun- tary, and not the result of action on the part of the employees. There have been very few strikes in the period men, toned

The recuperatlve power of the Ameri- can people is something that must force the admiration and respect of the entire world. Take the people Of the South, literally bankrupted by war and brought to face hardships and struggles with which they were wholly unaecustomed, and which they were believed to be to- tally incapable of combating, yet how soon did they carve out for themselves a new name and brighter destiny than was ever deemed possible. So likewise with the financial panics that have affected the country at large, how soon the people have rallied and how com pletely normal conditions resumed their sway when once the tide turned that way. One of the most striking lessons in prooi of this is now being exhibited to the world. Ovcrtaken with one of the most widespread and far-reaehng panics two years ago that this country had ever known, the ablest of our political econ omists did not predict for years to come such general recuperadon as Is now wit messed on every hand. Wages advane- ing, prices going up, new enterprises pro jected and old ones that had long been idle starting to work-all these evidence d HlOSl SIdluylilS tfd oA AC1dBttoeioi SeS hand, and the people can see how much better all this is than politics.
 Those prophets of evil who predicted dire disaster to American industries from a Democratic tariff are utterly con founded to see increasing vitality in these same industries from the operation of that tariff, while that worse horde of calamity howlers and politicians who saw no possible recuperation without free silver-both of these classes are com pletely knocked out by this tide of pros perity which is rising mountain high and will soon sweep over the entire land.
 It is really marvellous how those fel- lows who discovered in the "demonetiza- tion" of silver in 1873 the cause of the panic cf 1893 could have had such fol- lowing. Their reasoning is about on par with that of the old toper who was Asked why he wanted drink and he replied My wife is going to have cod fish for dinner day after tomorrow. and I'm dry" He was dry two days ahead of time, but this is not as bad as discov- ering something twenty years after it had occurred
 No, prosperity is better than politics. and those who have been betting on free silver as against prosperity will wake up to find that they have lost. and hence forth there will be none so poor as to do them. reverence"
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-06-29
WHOSE VICTORYp

The daily newspaper in this city that advocates free coinage virtually ad-- mitted on the morning after the Ken lucky convention adopted it's resolutions that it was victory for the sound money men. This admission was confessed in its headlines. Then it made no editorial comment. and silence gives consent. Not only that but one of the main men on the paper stopped a lawyer on his way to the court house and said: Well they beat us badly in Kentuck.r" The lawyer happened to be a sound money man. all though the newspaper man thought he was for free silver. The lawyer felt so badly about being classed, with the free silverites that he didn't tell about the incident until several hours afterwards.
 Well, after these admissions that the free silver men had suffered a defeat in Kentucky this newspaper had the audac- ity yesterday morning to reverse itself and claim a victory No doubt it had seen in the meantime the Atlanta Con stitution, which, in bare-faced headlines, claimed the action of the convention was a victory for the free silverites. Perhaps it had also received a private dispatch from Congressman Bryan, saying: "Claim everything" Dollars to dough- nuts Bryan will claim in his speech in this city that the action of the Ken lucky convention was a glorious victory for his faction. "One more such victory and I am ruined" exclaimed a general, who looked over the field of battle and saw so many of his men slain by the enemy.
