tive to trade, traffic and employment.
The capital of nearly all jobbing
houses is trained to the utmost limit
carrying their customers through the
trying period, and they do not believe
there will be any relief while the
Democratic party controls the affairs
of the Nation. Without single ex
ception all unite in saying that the
depression of all lines of business is
even greater than at any time since
the Inauguration of Grover Cleveland
in March 1898. All with one united
voice now attribute their distress and
and the prostration Of business to the
disastrous results arising from the en-
actment of the Wilson German bill,
which has closed our factories, con-
tracted the output of every class of
industry, including the farmer, i'm
porter, merchant, and the mechanic.
I found only condemnation and de-
nunciation of the Wilson 6 orman
measure all along the line. None
spoke of it but to condemn, while
there was universal demand for the
re- enactment of the 'sMcKinley bill"
or one framed on even higher Pro-
tective Tariff lines. The people now
realize wildly what Protective pol
icy means for them and their coun

ONE LESSON OF GRANTS
BIRTHDAY.

None of the orators of the last few
days has dwelt-the canons of taste
probably forbade their dwelling-upor
the greatest service of the civil life o.
the man whose birth was commemor-
ated on April 81.
Yet Grants veto of the initiation act
was greater victory for the Unior
than any but his greatest victories in
the field. In it he saved the country
from itself, as before he had saved il
lesson that the price must be paid, the
atonement suffered, for every Nation
al excess; that the toper's remedy OF
the hair of the dog imitation for in
f1ation-could only lead from debauch
to delirium.
Other Presidents since then have
applied or stood ready to apply the
same stern tonic of suffering, the grin
and bearit treatment. 1t has not
been an entirely difficult thing to do,
for President is not amenable to the
demands of single groups of intensely
interested and even desperate constit-
uents. But Grant was the first, and
Grant went to his conclusion that the
veto was necessary, alone and unaid-
ed. He has left on record the fact that
he did his own thinking about it.
Moreover, he had not at that time,
nor, indeed, at any time, command
ing mind in the Treasury Department
as he had in that of State. So that
venture in the foreign field of finance
was as much his own as when, after
that dissentient council Of war which
preceded the advance on Vicksburg,
he said: Gentlemen, we march at 8
o'clock"
Time will come in a few years-tho'
it is all too early now-when this act
of the peculiarly soldier President
will attain some of the fame which is
now accorded to some deeds of Wash
ington's civil life; when the veto of
March %, 1874. will be omething such
a landmark in the financial policy of
the country as is the Farewell Address
in it's foreign policy.-Press.

EUROPE'S HARVEST TIME.

After the first heavy thrush of for
eign imports under the new tariff
which the Democratic politicians in
Congress kindly pro vided for the ben
eft of their good friends, the Euro
pean manufacturers, it was inevitable
that there should be more or less of a
reaction. Something of it is apparent
| in Bradford's shipments of worsted
and WOODEN goods to America, which
show certain reduction for the first
quarter of 1896, as compared with the
corresponding period of 1895, just af-
ter the German Wilson law had gone
into full operation.
Of course, SO far as this decrease in
foreign imports goes, it means some
small relief for American manufacture
ers, but, as a well-known textile trade
journals says, "this end was at
tanned, however, by sacrificing their
entire profit. By charging nothing to
rental, to interest, to depreci ,tion,
etc., they have been able to keep
their mills running. To manufactur
ers who lease their mills the hardship
of such policy is too great to be long
continued"
Fortunately, it will not have to be
continued very much further. For
year hence, unless all indications fail,
a political party is coming into power
in this country which will legislate for
the benefit of American manufacture
ers and not for the benefit of foreign
manufacturers-for the welfare Of
Lowell and Lawrence and Worcester
and Providence, and not for the well
fare of Bradford.
Our foreign friends must make hay
while the Democratic sun shines for
them. Pretty soon the American
people are going to have their turn at
good business and good wages
