HMck;uleyiSm,"

In view of the nrOdigioUs abuse
formerly wasted by the Democratic
party on "McKinlcyism'' Of
which many of McKinleys present
supporters were themselves grievously
guilty-it is interesting to consider
what "McKinlcyism" at present stands
for. We borrow, in defining it, the
language of Colone, Robert p. Porter:
"McKinleyism," says he. Stands for
a financial policy that will make such
a campaign as the one just closed
impossible. The minds of our great
est statesmen, of both political parties,
will at once be directed to Il building
up and strengthening of our currency
laws that will hereafter avoid the
complications which swamred the last
administration.
"McKinleyism stands for a judicious
revision of the tariff laws. with the
double view of retaining our home mar
kcts as far as possible, hut ut the same
time increasing our trade with the
rest of the world.
iSIl lpl tllul
and latter-day protectionism which re-
aliZes that in many great branches of
manufacturing the United States leads
the world. ard in time must supply
the world. In such industries every
encouragement by the way of reciprOc-
ity, treaty. favorable rates of duties
and relates for imported raw mater
ial, will be given.
"Mckinleyism stands for suhstan-
tial progress in our commerce and mer-
chant marine. After many years of
loss in the carrying trade. the people
of the United States have made up
their minds to re-establish the Ameri-
can flag upon the high seas. They do
not propose longer to pay out millions
upon millions annually to foreign ma
tions for transportation, while there
is an idle man at home.
"McKinieyism, in short, no longer
represents one upbuildng policy, but
all the elements that enter into our
social. commercial and industrial life.
Its aim must he good government,
stability in finance, protection to our
home market, and encouragement to
our commerce and merchant marine.
1t must not only study how to give
employment to the greatest number of
people at home. at the fairest wages,
but direct its attention to the ques-
tions of what we can sell abroad and
where are the best markets. McKin-
leyism, if practically enforced, will
come near securing the support of all
that is best in the republic"
The definition is correct and the con-
triton of those who have maligncd
Mckinley in years past ought to he
copious and sincere. We fear, though,
that some of them don't yet realize
the enormity of their offending as
they should before being taken into the
bosom Of the next administration.
The word which eX-Attorncy General
Palmer brings from Ireland is that the
hope of home rule has been for all prac-
tical purposes abandoned. 1t is sad

Determined to Be rliserabie.

One of the saddest beings on earth is
the man who refuses 10 be comforted
The editor of the Salt Lake Tribune is
evidently in this fix. He has made up
his mind that the country is Toing to
perdition. He doesn't care continCr-
tai how prosperous appearances are
he won't believe in them so long as
silver isn't coined free, and the gloomier
he can get the better he will feel Here
is how he philosophers over the defeat
of Bryan:
We shall expect a little revival in Ger.
tain lines of manufactures. and the fam
inc is going to give a little better market
FOR breadstufTa, but all that will be hut
doctoring some symptoms, the disease re-
mains. Property IS still falling; crimes
are increasing: the army of tramps will
swell with the winter: it will be Just as
difficult to invest money in anything that
will pay as it has been during the past
four years. If Mr.. Mckinley carries out
the policy which has been laid down for
him. he will go into a worse eclipse than
Mr.. Cleveland has. and mis- party four
years hence will cease to exist.
There is no use in arguing with q
man in this condition. 1t is a form of
economic hysteria which will not yield
to argument. The only thing to do is
TO let it run it's course and in the mean
time not to mind it, AS the country
resumes its old-tme prosperity the
edge will disappear from these perio-
dical western walls. and maybe before
1900 the Salt Lake mourner will be so
busy clipping coupons that he will not
have time to complain.

We supported him for the purpose of sav
ing the country from dshonor and not ior
the purpose of getting office
This surrounds the subject most ad
mirably. Without desiring to be un-
grateful for what the better part of the
Democratic party did toward securing
Republican success last week. it can
trnthfully be said that there is broad
hint of impronriety in the idea that
their service to good government can
be rewarded by appointments to office.
The acceptance by that element of poll
teal place under the new administra
tion would SAVIOR unplcasantly of a poll
tical bargain. The great majority of
these Democrats who voted for Mckin-
ley did so through patriotism. Their
reward was the defeat of vicious doe
trines, and ii is al the reward they
want. That there may be among them
leaders willing to receive further COM
pensation does not alter the fact that
it would be Il mistake to put official
preferment in the scales of payment
Senator Carter. of Montana. who last
winter was chief among the senatorial
conSpirators who held ~ the Dingley
bill because it did not contain Il clause
authorizing the free coinage Of silver
has returned to Washington q sadder
and n wiser man. To a reporter who
asked him about the probability of
the coming session he said: Il think it
would he the height Of folly for any one
to attempt to block q Republican tariff
measure because Il free coinage bill
cannot be passed" Experience has
evidently given Mir. Carter Il diploma
