There is an uncertainty hanging
over the business Of the country
that will not grow any less until
the fight Of this political year Is
fought out and the results assured.
Capital is not secure, labor is un-

one of suspense. Not until the in
dustries of the country know what
Is before them in the way OF ma
tional policies will there be any

There is no doubt of this. The
trouble with the politicians as a
rule is that they are afraid to
trust the people, and this arises
largely from the fact that the
policies of the great political
parties are not such as best con-
serve the interests of the people.

that it will nominate Mckinley,

PERNI0I0US CHANGE.

There is perceptible steadily
growing sentiment in favor of
elections OF senators directly by
the people, but this is not half as
necessary as that elections should
be for much longer terms of Office.
AS at present, with recurring
presidential election every four
years, in which may be involved
an entire change in the industrial
policy of the nation, there is no
fixedness of industrial life possible.
No rest for the sole of the foot of
the home producer. 1t Is not
possible that prosperity can
attend any industry under
such conditions. This hurrying
from one policy to another, as the
change is made from one admins
tration to another is ruinous. 1t Is
demoralizing to trade, politics, So
ciety and legislation. 1t imposes
fearful expenses upon the people
and unsettles all the machinery OF
public and private life. There Is
no good arises from it and it
should cease. A ten year presi-
Dental term of Office Is none too
long. Senators should be chosen
for eight years and representatives
for six, and none of these should
be eligible to succeed themselves
in office. Do this and correspond
ingly protract the term Of state
Office and remove the judiciary
from all possible political infiu.
ences, and there will be decided
change for the better every way.
The common sense of the average
business man revolts against
this succession of changes,
following so closely on the
heels of former changes that
there is no chance for business
to recover itself. Congress should
interpose in the mean time by com.
mon consent, if in no other way,
and prevent any tariff revision for
a certain term Of years, making
the established schedules Of what
ever character stand for at least
ten years. Eternal change is the
eternal curse of the political ma
chinery and movement Of these
United States and 1t is time that
the wisdom of the business circles
united to defeat practice that is
only perpetuated through the self
interest Of the politicians.
