wKfNLEY AND HOBART.

The signal for the return OF prosperity
In this country, once the most prosper
otis under the sun, has been sounded.
The watchword was given at st. Louis
this week, when VIM. Mckinley, OF Ohio,
was named as the candidate OF the Re
publican party for president OF the
United States, and Carrot A. Hobart,
OF New Jersey, was given second place on
the national ticket. The name OF Nc
Kinley and industrial prosperity have
become anonymous terms in this coun-
try. The first in the presidential chair,
the last cannot fail TO come. The rea-
son Is obvious. Mckinley is not only
the embodiment OF those principles
which time and experience have proven
TO be the prime requisites to national
prosperity, but he IS man in whose
ability to administer the affairs OF this
government all the people, regardless OF
party affiliations, have a most abiding
faith. The latter qualification is by no
means the least. 1t Is TO "A lack OF con-
hdence in the Democratic party and
Grover Cleveland that the panic OF the
past four years has been due equally as
much as To the i'll legislation by which
the tearing-down party has earned the
mistrust OF the people. The admins
tration OF the Democratic party has
been abominably bad, but the fehr OF
even worse, based on the past history OF
the party, has been equally as depressing
upon the industrial conditions OF the
country. The Democratic party has a
record in the way Of incompetency and
governmental mismanagemcnt, TO put it
In the most charitable form, and it can
not DO truthiully denied that il has
added to this record during the past
four years OF industrial and commercial
stagnation, soup-houses, bonds and
national embarrassment. The signal for
return to our old-time prosperity and
national dignity has been sounded in
Mckinley and Hobart and it will CON
tinue TO rc-echo throughout this nation
OF ours until il eliminates in glorious
and triumphant reality in November
next.

THE FAMILIAR SHEER.

The customary free trade sneer mt
the American manufactures IL still on
duty. It has turned up its nose little
more, II possible. since the clans began
TO assemble at st. Louis. IL has de-
tected there the presence Of some dele
gates who are identified with American
industries and it is positively certain
that they are there for merccnary pur-
poses only.
The free trade sneer is funny thing
IL can't bear to see American capital
put adyantageously into labor employ
ing Investments. IL can't endure the
sight 81 American markets filled with the
products of American labor, when
foreign competition has to suffer there
by. IL cannot bear To see American in
dustries and American labor protected
by tariff laws which make foreign com
petitors in our markets pay toll for the
privilege 81 coming in. The free trade
sneer Is decidedly foreign ITSELF
But It's nose is going To get hit this
year. The American manufacturers are
not the only ones who are going to hit
IL. The people Of this country, after
three years OF tariff reform aud business
paralysis, have been disarmcd OF largo
amount OF prejudice against our
''pampered industries" Thousands OF
them who voted for Cleveland and clover
four years ago are now ready Co vote
for bread and butter. They have been
through very expensive school OF OK
perience and this year they are going TO
vote intelligently.
The free traders apparent hatred Of
the American manufacturers tx some
thing hard to account Tor. To him they
are "monopolsts' and almost every
thing else that is bad. They have
miiliona and millions OF money invested
"a plants and enterprises that furnish
employment TO millions OF workingmen,
and they pay much higher prices for
labor than do their foreign competitors.
In denying that these home industries
should be protected, the free trader
practically says that American labor
IL worth no more than cheap foreign
labor; or that II American manuIac-
tuners and producers cannot compete
with the foreigner on free trade basis,
let them 60 out OF business and let their
workingmen go into the streets. Any
man not fool knows that labor Is the
chief cost OF production and that free
trade means such unequal competition
that the American workingmcn must
accept the price Of foreign labor, or their
employers must shut up shop.
But all this, says the Detroit journal,
does not phase the free trade sncor at
the American producer. The sneor h
the whole thing, when you come TO take
a front view OF a rampant free traders
face. Just now IL is making itself con-
spicuous because n political party which
believes in giving home producers and
home labor the preference in tho home
market. is holding convention 10 rcaf-
firm itH faith In protection and slcnounco
the destructive policy OF Democracy.
Oh. the people won't do a thing TO that
