saw Ilt 10 give tnaC CLASS OF people
o call to work in some other part
of the vineyard; some choice spot
in the south seas, or near the north
pole; it would be good riddauce.
The return of prosperity will take
the wind out of the sails of quite
number of isms and political va
garies. There are political creeds
which fatten upon the adversities
of the people, and run to cover in
times of prosperity. When hard
times are upon US and the finan-
cial sky is overcast with huge mas
ses of black, forbidding clouds,
people are easily led to believe that
it is the result of almost any cause
which may be assigned by the po-
litical agitator.
Coins Financial School gravely
informs us that the hard times
which we have had were caused
by the demonetization Of silver,
and that we will continue to 60 to
the dogs uatil we restore that met
al to its proper place. But times
are improving and silver is still
unrcgenerated There is a flaw
somewhere in Coins logic. For il
that were the cause, inasmuch as
the cause is still in operation, the
effect should still continue, But
the effect is ceasing. Therefore
that cannot be the cause. The
silver bug is consequently wrong.
When the Sherman law was re.
pealed by the gold bugs, we were
told that good times would follow.
They assured US, with gravity
equal to that of Coin, that the pur'
chase act was the s, lie cause Of our
troubles. They removed the alleged
cause but the supposed effect con-
tinued. Hence, they were mis-
taken in regard to the reason fol
our financial troubles. The GOLD
bug was wrong.
A small class of men were Ger
tain that our panic was the result
of a small volume of currency
With q great blare of t"umpets
they demanded All Immediate 10
crease of the product of the paper
mill, to $50 per capita. A voum'
inous currency was what We need
ed, SO that every one would hav'
money to burn. No good times
could be expected until this wa
done. The cil Gle Of fate was rap
idly narrowing and would continue
to contract until the helpless vic
Tins we're crushed in the centre
The fleas we're sucking the life ou
of the dogs and would continue tt
do SO as long as anything was lief
to suck. 1t was q simple impossi
bility for times to improve. W
would keep on going to the demni
tion bow.wows, and finally arriv'
there, unless we flooded the coun
try with an irredeemable, worth
less delugc of paper. But time
are improving. There is increased
activity in business circles and th'
wages of labor are enlarging. I
follows that the rag baby theor!
is not the right ole. The pape1
bug is wrong.
When we leave all these bugs t,
pursue their fancies in whatever
manner seemeth good to them, ant
cast about for the true reason o
our financial disasters, that reason
is not hard to discover. Neither
will we have any difficulty IN de
termining the cause of the reviva
Of business. To do this we mus
60 back to the commencement O
our troubles. The volume of busi
ness which was transacted by ou,
nation in 1892, was larger thar
ever before in our history. Ou
mines, mills, factories and work
shops were in full blast. 1t wa
the high tide of prosperity. Sill
yer had been "demonetized" for /!
years. No deleterious effect wa
yet apparent. Under protective
tariff, our work was given to ou
own iaborers and our money wa
kept at home. But it is not human
nature for meu to know when the,
are we'll off. No matter how goot
is the condition of man, he is sool
