The success Of the United States
Government in obtaining an increase
of the amount first offered by the Re-
organization Committee sufficient to
cover the full amount Of the Govern
ment's claim against the Union Pa
ciic Railroad is undoubtedly due in
great measure to the marked i'm
provement in financial conditions
that has taken place during the year
1897. The San Francisco Call at
tributes this gratifying result directly
to the revival of prosperity flowing
from the enactment of the Dingley
bill, and remarks 10 that connection !:

Republican politics that the effects of
any one measure tend 30 augment the

A year ago last month, and fol-

That great business improvement
has come to the country since last
July is conceded by all intelligent OBJ.
servers; and that this is due largely
to the passage of the Dingley tariff
must also be conceded. Whatever
may be the operations of the new tar
i6r the restoration of confidence
brought about by its passage put into
operation millions of dollars which
had heretofore been lying idle, and
that gave employment to hundreds of
thousands Of hands. 1t caused the
country to undergo change such as
had never before been witnessed by
many Of the present generation, idle
factories and furnaces to start into
new life, and the hum Of industry to
sound from State to State. The new
tariff is likely to warrant the conf.
dence placed in it, as its revenues are
satisfactorily increasing month by
month, and il will be but a short
time when the treasury will have a
monthly surplus instead of a deficit
as has been the case for the last foul
years.

A Hard case GrowIng Harder.

Proteotionism must go. 1t must 60
root and branch. 1t cannot save it,
self by masking its designs behind
reciprocity. The demand for wider
markets can never be satisfactorily
met until the Dingley taxes are re.
pealed, and when they are repealed
there will be no occasion for petty
free trade deals with the halfcivilized
countries TO the south of as.-Lans-
ing, Mich, Journal
Here is frank avowal of hatred
of American prosperity that is inter-
esting because of its novelty. Very
few of the free trade newspapers show
such brutal frankness as this. They
all feel pretty much the same way,
bat they don't all say so in plain
words.
Reciprocity is especially objection
able to these people. They hope it
will fail, because its success would
sweep away the main stay and sup
port of free trade argument, which is,
that protection lie fatal to our export
trade.
1t makes no difference to them that
the foreign markets for American
manufactures have broadened and
increased enormously under protec-
ton. The system is death to exports,
just the same. Now, if reciprocity is
going to open additional markets and
furnish new outlets for the products OF
our mills and factories, the case be-
comes very hard.
The country is altogether too pros
porous already to suit the free traders
and any further blessings of the same
sort as the result of reciprocity are
not to be tolerated without a protest
Therefore, there shall be no reciproc
ity, if they can help it: therefore
Protection must go,root and branch. y
If not, how are the Poulists and free
traders going to tako any comfort
! How, indeed?

The three-year-old boy of j. A. john
son, of Lyon Center, Ill, is subject to
attacks of Group. Mr.. johnson says he
is satisfied that the timely use of Cham
berlains Cough Remedy, during a severe
attack, saved his little boys life. He is
in the drug business, member of the
firm of Johnson Bros. of that place; and
they handle a great many patent medi-
cines for throat and lung diseases. He
had all these to choose from, and skilled
physicians ready to respond to his call,
but selected this remedy for use in his
own family at a time when the child's
life was in danger, because he knew it to
be superior to any other, and famous the
country over for its cures of Group. Mr..
johnson says this the best selling cough
medicine they handle, and that it gives
splendid satisfaction in all cases. Sold

will be recorded by future historians,
that the cause of the depression ol

THE new tariff comes in us a steady,
potent regulator of prices and pro-
duction, throwing work to our own
factories instead of foreign ones, and
enabling our millions of workers to

dependent upon other nations for
steel rails, tin plates and other metel
