ACCORDING to tht reports of Dunn
and Bradstreet the failures in this
country for the first three months of
1896 are unprecedented. Never before
have there been so many failures dur
ing the first quarter of any year in the
history of the country's business. And
yet the advocates of the single gold
standard bid us be cheerful and try tc
make us believe that this is an era Of
great prosperity.

IT'S always we'll to be hopeful, as des-
pondency never does any good to any
body; but, on the other hand, it is folly
to disregard or ignore the existence of
patent evils. Every sort of business in
the country is depressed, values have
decreased, employment is hard to find,
wages are low, and people in need OF
relief more numerous than ever before,
and sadder still, an intelligent and
scrutinizing look into the future reveals
no sign or indication of Improvement,
and the prevalent belief among practi-
cal and common sense people is that
bad as things now are, they will be
much worse before they become better.
Prudence, strict economy and patience,
in such condition, are essentially
requisite, certainly not appropriations
exceeding in amount those of any pre-
ceding Congress and threats of higher
tariff by which the price of the neces-
saries of life will be increased. But if the
poor people of the country, who elected
the present republican Congress, choose
TO elect another one of the same po-
l;tical hue next fall, they can do so
without effective opposition, for they
