There Is observable among the repuo-

let sleeping tariff dogs lie. The country
is being given assurances that only such

the tariff issue was worked by silver re-
publicans to get votes against silver,
this retreat OF the McKinleyites from
McKinleyism will cause disappoint-
ment, but the people as a whole would
like TO believe that business is TO be
riven n rest from tariff uncertainties.
However, though it is manifestly the
wish of the president-elect and his adj

into Mariel since Weyler went ont this

Business.

In the exchange of opinions now
going on, about the relative merits OF
gold and silver in the trade relations
of the world, how easy it is to lose
sight OF the greater fact that COM
modities are so much used as trade
offsets to other commodities. Our
exports since January list, 1896,
exceed our imports by round hun,
dred million dollars. Shipping is
engaged two months in advance for
outgoing cargoes. We shall break
the record on foreign shipments OF
oats by over ten million bushels.
The value of our manufactures sold
abroad is now twenty five per cent
of our total export. Our railways
moved ninety millions of tons more
freight last season than the year
before, at a price lessened by three
mills per ton mile.
With increasing confidence in the
disposition of the people to vote
right in November, capital will come
out of it's hiding, the mill wheels are
again moving, and business after a
momentary scare is bound to renew
it's energy. 1t takes some pretty
energetic racking to wholly destroy
a nations industries. The time has
not vet arrived when the United
States are to 60 out of business
