FACTORIES STARTING UP.

As soon as it was settled that McKin-
ley's election was no longer a question
there occurred a general movement
among the industrial interests of the
country. From the iron-manufactur-
ing regions of' Pennsylvania and the
cotton working districts of New Eng
land come daily reports Of reviving in
dustrial activity. Furnaces and mills
which have been closed for weeks and
months are again in operation; there
is an increasing demand for labor and
a Frightening prospect of better days
for employer and employed. The Pop
ulist scare, which in the early summer
fell like paralysis upon 50 mang great
industrial enterprises, is passing away,
business confidence is returning and
the future is filled with the promise of
an era Of widespread prosperity. The
people have simply declared their con-
fidence in themselves, and when their
decision finds formal expression in the
overwhelming defeat Of Organism in
November the last obstruction to the
return of prosperous times will have
been removed.

ceedingly easy to prescribe sure cures
for prospective and imaginary mala-
dies. Bread pills and colored water
have cured many a fancied i'll and es-
tablished the doctors skill and erudi-
tion.
1t is, however, an astonishing, Ia
mentable and humiliating fact that
these Populistic prophets Of evil have
made an impression upon the minds of
some of our more credulous citizens.
Their contention for fat money has
secured Endorsement even outside of
their own party. The Democrats, it is
true, have played into their hands, by
favOring the abolition of the state bank
tax and kindred rank heresies. These
were bids for Populist votes. But in
capturing the Populist they caught an
animal beyond their control. For these
fanatics demand much more than even
the most accommodating Democrat
would be willing to concede.
The theories of this horde of revolu-
tionists are wholly chimerical and dan
gerous. 1t is disgrace that the
country is forced to give them 8 serious
and respectful hearing.

JUGGLING JERRY.

The Democrats of Kansas, those who are
really Democrats and do not wear the
brand for office only. have a bitter dose
to swallow in voting for the Populist
nominee for ongresSman-at-large. For a
long time Jerry Botkin has been a Third
Party Prohi bitioniSt. He ran for COVER
nor ON that ticket He has made pro-
hibition speeches from one end OF the
state to the other. He has declared there
was no issue in this state and never could
be any other issue than prohibition until
every rum hole was driven back to Ms
Kansas was throttled- He has a sharp
tongue, is a brilliant speaker, and ne has
used his talents for all they were worth
in the abuse of men who did not and do
not agree with him on the liquor question.
He has said that he would rather live in
hell than in Wichita He has said that
every man who opposed prohibition is an
enemy to government and TO society, and
that such an one is as bad as the man
who sefls liquor, and the man who sells
liquor is as bad as the man who robs your
house in the night time. This has all
been taken back now, of course, and the
Reverend Jerry accepts a nomination on
a platform that declares for the resub-
mission of the prohfbitory amendmtnt.
But he will taste no less bitter in the Dem
ocratic mouth because he has abandoned
his former posi- oJurnal.

TRYING TO MAKE VOTES.

Those who have followed Mr.. Bry-
ans speeches from day to day as they
have appeared in the Eagle could not
have failed TO notice that his ready
tongue does not at all times represent
the conclusions and convictions of the
same brain. 1t is suspected that the
crowd which ever accompanies are
mere topic suggesters who day by day
furnish outline hints of new phases
and treatments of his subject. In any
event his speeches taken together
make him appear dishonest at times.
men in West Virginia on Wednesday,
he declared that there will be no cheap
dollars under free coinage. The free
coinage dollar, he asserted, would be
worth just as much as the dollar is to-
day. That was what ne said to men
who were afraid free coinage would
depreciate the currency and reduce the
purchasing power Of their wages.
In his very next speech, which was
delivered to an audience composed OF
farmers, Bryan declared that the
money of today was too dear; that the
price of agricultural products was low
because the purchasing power Of the
dollar was too high. He told the farm
ers the way in which TO secure higher
prices for agricultural products was to
increase the number of dollars by free |
coinage and thereby secure cheaper |
dollars.
What must be thought of a man who |
says one thing to one audience and ex-
actly the opposite thing to another
audience in the same state on the same
day?
Which Of the propositions advanced
by Mr.. Bryan is the correct one? Is
either of them correct? Does anybody
suppose that Mr.. Bryan is discussing
the free coinage question in an honest
way-that he is endeavoring to edu-
cate the people-or that he is doing
but trying to make votes?

FOUNDED AND BRUISED.

For three months the editorial sane
tums Of the country have been bonn
barded forts. The sane and insane Of
all the country having any political
ambition or prediction to crankism
have turned their intellectual batteries
loose On the editor. The average local
conceit has attacked him with manu-
scripts, loaded with wind and silver
ammunition The various state and
national committees have employed
supposed experts and trained sharp
shooters 10 do their worst in print, and
the editor has got the benefit of it ell.
The volumes, pamphlets, brochures,
circulars and leaflets upon the cur
rency question poured out by people
who know what they are writing about
and by those who don't, are flooding
the newspaper offices until every editor
is ready to hold up his hands and cry,
Enough! They are legion. Some are
wise and some entertaining, very
few are both. Among the latter might
be named Ernest Ingersolrs "The Last
prophetic history of the
Inauguration and administra-
ton Of William ]. Bryan, book which
simply by painting the picture Of that
possible disaster fills the law-abiding
citizen with panic and alarm. Another
brochure which we wish could be
placed in the hands Of every voter in
the land, is the Errors of Populism,"
by Hermon w. Craven, of Seattle,

theories of finance upon
which the Bryanites are building airy |

facts brings truth from the bottom Of |

IF SILVER. WHY NOT PoTAroEs9

A farmer on an Oklahoma and Kan
sas train was complaining to a Wich-
ita drummer a few days ago that the
sweet potato crop was so large that he
could not give his crop away, when
his listener suggested that it would
have been Il good thing for the Kansas
legislature to have passed law max
ing sweet potatoes worth, say, fifty
cents a bushel Surely" he added,
''if the United States, which are only
about one-twenty-ffth of the world in
population, can fix by law, price for
the worlds silver, then Kansas ought
to be able TO fix the price of sweet pO-
tauoes for at least the west"
A new light shone in the farmers
eyes as he confessed that he had not
thought of the matter in that way be-
fore. But this is precisely the way in
which to think of it; and it is by such
homely arguments, rather than by tech
nical and labored dissertations. that
minds which waver between truth and
error can most surely be helped to ar
rive at an intelligent decision.

DEMOPOP FATAL FIATISM.

Give a Pop chance and he will not
only howl calamity, but venilate the
follies and fallacies upon which in
spires his cry. The Pop orator is at all
times and everywhere pushing his
peculiar views and declaiming his wild

confidence is born of ignorance. their
faith superstition and their science

The absorption of the moSsback and ig-
