4 The meeting Of the republican con-
gress checked this condition Of pros
perity. Business became dull. The
threat of a ripping up of the tariff by
the houses, and the threat Of a free sill
yer bill by the senate made the trade
cautious and made capital extremely
shy. The lack Of demand for goods was
felt by the manufacturers. Business
suffers from the threats Of disturbance.
If looms are idle, and if there is q hand
to-mouth business done in woolens, the
responsibility for it should not be ms
placed. The people should not forget
the part played by the clustering,
wrangling, threatening congress. The
longer congress is in session the more
unfavorable are the business reports.

Carlisle simply says that he willnotcon-

any platform that does not take sound
positions on the money and the tariff

THE Do-No1HtNa CONGRESS.
Trade and Industry Checked by the Stag
nant Republicans.


The American Textile journal has
compiled the replies to 1,50o inquiries
seht to fnanufaet tirers of wool. The
feplies show a few mills closed, u few
working on short time, but a large ma
jority open and running on full time.
The statistics refute the calamity howl
that has recently been raised about
the Woolen industry. There is no evi-
dence of the cyclone that Senator Haw-
leysaid had struck the woolen industry,
although the depression in the business
is apparent. In the woolen cloth mills
II, sos cut of 1852 looms are in opera
tion. In dress goods 1893 out of 3,o1t
looms are in operation. In carpets, il
8G2 out Of 2,29e looms are going. In
blankets and fannels 1890 out of ], ,462
looms are in operation.
In carpets and hannels the proper
ton of idle looms is less than the pro-
portion in dress goods and cloth. 1t
is worthy of attention that this condi-
dition of affairs has come about since
the meeting of the republican congress.
Prior to the assenblage of congress the
woolen industry in this country was
especially active. In the year 1895 over
100000, 600 pounds of imported wool was
used in American mills, more than in
the preceding year under the Mckinley
law. The first year of the Wilson law
saw more wool consumed by the Amer
ican mills than ever before. The un-
employed were absorbed from the high
ways, and set to work in weaith-prc-
ducing industry. More American goods
were made by American workingmen
than ever before. There had been many
wage advances and the tendency was TO
higher rates.

Cash and Popularity.

81 If Mckinley be the popular idol that
his friends claim he is, what is the need
of spending SO much money to secure a
nomination which the people are anS-
io,ls to give him? Mckinley may be
popular. We are inclined to think that
