The prosperity rapidly coming to the
country under the administration of
the Democratic party is so remarka bic
that it is the ruling topic. Only a few
unprincipled and perVersely untruth-
full papers, like a near neighbor of
ours, attempt to belittle the dimensions
of the tide of business, or to dispute
the evident truth that these effects are
the exact opposite of what was pre-
dicted as results of Democratic as
cendancy. The Chicago Herald
devotes large amount of space to
this industrial and business boom, re-
marking by the way:
The Times-Herald has gathered the
testimony of the best business minds
of the country as evidence that from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific, from Rainy
Lake to the gulf, industry and trade
are rapidly, heaIthfully and Iegiti-
mately reViVing. To the Golfers of the
manufacturer, the investor the holder
of securities, new wealth is being
added, and from them new gain is
coming to labor. From New York to
San Francisco, within the last eight
weeks, there has been an increase in
business of at least SO per cent; an
advance Of wages of not less than 10
per cent.
The statement of our defeated neigh
Dor that hundreds of thousands of
workmen in the United States are still
unemployed, is a reckless untruth not
to be found in the columns of any
other paper in the Union. Also the
accompanying falsehood that only
about 100000 workmen have had their
wages increased. In New York alone
it has been published:
r. NJ. Nixon, ex-comptroller of the
national treasury, speaking at Gin
cinnati, notes the enormous increase of
work for manufactures. Ten days ago
the maximum of business in New
York City for the week reached
$5,000,000, something unprecedented
within the last three years. In the
same city within the thirty days end
ing with June the wages of go 900
wOrkingmen were increased materi-
ally.
a whole page of the Times-Herald
is devoted to details. of full employ
ment for all hands in a number of
trades and an advance in the rates of
wages. The New York World pub
fishes an additional list of the larger
firms which have advanced wages
during the thirty days in June. Here
