A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT.

ment warns 1t to expect in immediate
ward to in the development Of the coun-
try and the progress of the nation. It
had not therefore intended to refer ex
tendedly to the effect of the outcome Of
the recent election as a prosperity pro-
nsoter. It has contented itself THUS far
with the bare statement that the era Of
revived trade and renewed industrial
activity has already set in
Bus hsre come the Bryan journals
with IL grace and worse taste and begin
To whine about that promised pros
peFity," and lugubriously prophesy that
1t viii not, cannot come. Already they
have entered upon the work Of awak-
ening doubts and casting cold water
upon all announcements of hopeful
signs. It Is meet, therefore, that some
specific cataloguing of daily telegraphed
facts be done to drive shameless pes
snl1sts into hiding.
AS we write it Is just a week to-day
since the election, and yet there is be-
fore us record compiled from ordi-
nary and usual news dispatches of re-
newed industries and restored conf
dence that has not in all history had a
parallel. OF course, after the settle
ment effected by any election there su-
pervines feeling Of relief and relaxa-
ton of the tension of months But in
this case there is actual rebound, not
In sentiment merely, not In the feeling
OF relief only, but In industrial circles,
and where the wheels had ceased to
turn under the threat to open mints and
close factories.
Inside of forty eight hours after as
surance that William Mckinley was
elected, the opening Of the factory doors
began; capital fioated out and set In
motion idle wheels; confidence inspired
Industrial workers to re1ight fires be-
meath their boilers and in their fur
naces; orders for vast quantities of
goods of manufacture that had been
fled conditioned upon the election of
Mckinley were taken from the rusting
hooks. and the word sent down the line
to begin the work of filing the de-
naand. Commercial travelling agents
who had not touched their grip sacks
in months were called up, stocked and
started out instantly, for manufact-
nd frshhaf-s xkoS
changed conditions their customers
waited for their coming.
Within three days the whole indus
trial hive of the Union was buzzing with
action and expectation. and In great
number of cases with realization. Not
even the most hopeful and ardent ex-
pected any ouch speedy response In vim
d1cacion Of the claims Of the Republican
party as the result Of the ballot Moth
Ing in all our history has eQualed 1t,
and perhaps the amazing character of
the reaction has so dazed the BRYAN
ocubsers that they may be pardoned for
expressions of unbeItef Nevertheless.
q number Of them who know better;
men who are In touch with the business
world, and know that the rebound from
the tension Of fear to the beginning of
better times has been as genuine as II
has been sudden-these are not to be
forgiven for attempting to create doubt
OF that which Is fact
Beginning on the third day after the
election, not more than twelve hours
after positive knowledge of the tr1
uInph Of the Republican ticket, and
continuing through our dispatches up
TO yesterday, and we find the record
which we give below. 1t must be un-
derstood that these Instances are only
few among many. and that hundreds
have not been reported that are equally
as encouraging.
We call attention % the remarkable
List more especially, as this coming Of
prosperity Ia not IN the order In which
IL was expected Predictions of sudden
and rapid return to favorable Industrial
and commercial conditions had not been
made. We had warned our readers not
TO expect 1t: We looked for the return
of prosperity, but more slowly and with
such dehberst.on that II would be
known 70 all men that it had come to
stay. 1t has commenced to come with
