The Napoleon of Protection Reads the
 Signs of the Times.

Signs or the Times.
 Now that the calamity cry has be- come ridiculous because of restored prosperity, what is to become of the republican party, which depended for it's ammunition upon depressed busi- ness conditions which undou btedly ob- tained year ago and which republic ans ascribed to the defeat of McKin- leyism?
 Some thick and thin republican journals have been declaring that there Is no prosperity; that democrats have engaged in a widespread con- spiracy in the party interest to assert that what republicans claim is mere appearance of business activity is busi- ness activity itself. Doleful because times are improving, they insist that there is no improvement In business conditions. They declare that there can be none until McKinleyism is re- stored. Others, recognizing the fact that employments are larger now than they have been in many years, and that compensation is better, assert that these conditions result from the fact that the republican party was successful in the elections of 1891. As to this latter claim it is only necessary to point out that even if congress were composed entirely of republicans the Mckinley law could not be reen- acted during the next session, because the executive, who thought the Wilson bill not sufficiently radical in it's de- parture from McKinleyism, would un- doubtedly veto any bill looking to an in crease of custom house taxation.
 As to the claim that there is no real revival of business, we may cite Gov, Mckinley himself, who said on July IS at Cleveland: "I think that business conditions show a general improve ment. Take Canton, for instance, where 1 passed last Sunday and Mon- day. Most of the works are in opera ton, and while, of course, the city is not back to the point where it was be- fore the business depression, conditions are much improved. The general out look, think, is favorable"
 It is noteworthy that the governor himself makes no demand for return to the tariff legislation which the com mittee of which he was chairman per fected in 1890. That legislation, coupled with the Sherman enactment, was largely responsible for the busi- ness distress which came upon this covntry. Were it not that the country is now to enjoy the beall t of demo- cratic reform, both of tariff and of cur rency legislation, it would have been well had President Harrison been re- elected in 1899. The misery the repub. lican administration brought upon the republic would then have been unani' mously attributed to its true source.- Chicago Chronicle.

The last three months have seen an extraordinary revival, which is still in progress. The history of the coun- try does not show so rapid recovery at any other time from period of panic depression. It is clear enough that the limit has not been reached and that the upward movement grows in force. The burden lies upon the re- publican journals and leaders to ex- plain how the depressing and para lyzing" influence of the new duties has been suspended.-N. '. Times
