How easy it is to disprove many oi
the populist claims in the iullness OF

ers have for years cursed the Asso-
ciated Press and United Press, the
two great newsgatherers of this
country, because Of supposed dis
ordinations against them. And
now Mr.. Bryan thanks the two as,
sociations for their courtesy and
fairness, And how mistaken our
demopop friends were about the
subsidized, vile republican newspa,
pers, which published all OF Mr.,
Bryan's speeches, as well as those OF
other leading silverites! The cam

ample reason for men to Investigate

300 more have increased working

Some OF our popullst friends disre-
gard the fact that over 200 900 men
have found employment since Me-
kinley's election; that mills and
factories have opened or are prepar-
ing to start up again, and they point
to a counter evidence of two banks
bursting down at Sioux City! These
banks have been tottering for
months and would have went down
regardless of the election. The only
wonder is that any banks or business
enterprises could withstand the past
four years OF commercial and finan-
cial depression.

Republican Members to Get
Together Very Early in
the Session.
VII Discuss the Dingley Bill
AID Agree on Some Plan
of Action.
Decision Apt to Be Adverse
to Taking Up That
Measure.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-There is
such a diversity of opinion among Re.
publican senators in the city as to the
course TO be pursued at the next session
with reference to the tariff that it is
considered quite probable caucus Will
be held very early in the session to de.
eide upon line Of action. Senator
Sherman is still understood to hold to
the opinion that the Dingley bill should
and could be passed at the approaching
session, while other Republicans dis
agree with him, some as to the wisdom
OF the measure and others as to the
possibility of getting it through. It is
believed that line Of action can be
agreed upon in a party conference
which Will be satisfactory to all, and
which, when it is once decided upon,
will render unnecessary much useless
agitation. The indications now are
that the
Decision OF the Caucus
when held will be against taking up
the Dingley bill.

Tho Matter of Dividing Appropriations
Among Committees.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-During the
last session of congress proposition
was made TO divide the appropriations
among the various committees Of the
senate, but by very decisive vote the
whole question was referred to the
short session. If the matter is brought
up again it will probably be laid OH the
table for good and all. Many senators
who supported the proposition before
will vote against it now, and the ma
jority which postponed its considera-
tion will be larger upon a question to
finally kill it. Several senators who
supported the proposition at the time
said after the vote that they would not
vote for it when it came up again.

While industries have gained in working
force, they are waiting for commensurate
gain i'm demand. and meanwhile are try
ing to clear away embarrassments which
restrict them.
The iron output for December was ~
27S tons weekly against 124O77 November
and 2lG797 a year ago, and unsold stocks
reported were 1880 tons smaller than last
year, but these do not include stocks Of
the great steel companies. The industry
is for the time demoralizel rs uncertainty
regarding the great combinations. Until
the future influence Of these combinations
is better defined. narrow trading must be
expected and Bessemer pig and Gray

Failures for the week have been $50 in

and 43 in Canada, against - last year.
