THERE is a class of Democratic papers,
and writers for such publications, that
are continually telling about the return
ing prosperity of our industries. If a
mill runs full time with one-half the help
it employed in 1892 or before, immedi-

If few boxes of goods are shipped, a
with 1898 is made as evil
dence of prosperity's return. The Troy
Press, Democratic, however, says editor
tally of the leading industry of that city:
"Having chased down numerous rumors
of new collar concerns, we begin to sus-
pect that existing establishments are
equal to the emergency" Just so, espec-
tally if running short handed and at re-
duced wages.
