- ----.-------
after the strain attendent upon ma
tional presidential election has followed
since the election.
We shall see next year how 1t is that a
law enacted in 1890 to reduce the public
revenues will serve when reenacted in
1897 to increase the public revenue
The country is called upon to witness
the march of prosperity which we are
informed has begun at the top--is expect
ed to go marching on down the line.
1t is given out that Hanna will establish
campaign headquarters in Washington.
H will then be able to remain in the city
and direct both the campaign and the
administration
1t is reported that Secretary H. A.
Herbert is to be taken care of by Cleve
and. The latest is that Mr.. Herbert
r,ill resign from the cabinet sohrtly and

If Mr.. Cleveland intends to provide for
ach of those who have given up their
Principles and their people for him he
will have to begin to do about There
ERE a number of the boys out in the wet
yet.
A financial system that forces our
farmers to sell their surplus products
in competition with the Indian farmer
must inevitably bring our farmers down
to a level with the farmer subjects of
Great Britain.
We need not expect any rise in the
price of the products of the farm under
McKinley's administration. 1t. was in
opposition TO higher priced farm pro-
ducts that the wage earners were ap-
pealed to vote against Mr.. Bryan.
Farm lands are valuable only In pro-
portion to the profits growing out of the
sale of the products grown from them.
When cotton must be sold at and below
the cost of production cotton lands are
valueess, as matter of course.
CONGRESSMAN Towne, the brilliant
young man from the Duluth congress-
ional district Michigan, who won such
an enviable reputation as an advocate of
the free coinage of silver, was defeated
in the recent election by the small ma
jority of $50 out of vote of 59,S64 in a
heretofore strongly republican district
Mr.. Bryan received the largest vote in
Ohio that was ever polled for any man
for any office in that state until the re-
cent election. McKnley's majority in
Ohio over Bryan was less than $4,000 A
considerab BILE falling off from the majority
received by Bushnell, the republican Gov
ernor, over Campbell. which was nearly
700.
Those who intimate that the recent
election was a defeat to democracy over
look the fact that it will result in the en-
forced retirement from the senate of the
United States, after March 4, Palmer,
of Illinois; Hill, of New York, and Villas,
OF Wisconsin, three frst-class John Sher-
man republicans, posing as democrats in
the senate.
When the announcement Is made that
the products of the farm are steadily ris-
ing in price and that such rise is perma-
nent and will continue, until the tillers
Of the soil are enable to dispose of the
fruits of their honest toll at profit, then.
and not until then, may we expect the re-
turn of general and permanent prosperity
in this country.
