REPORTS from the manufacturing
districts, North and South, continue
to show increased activity. Three
large cordage mills at Isais, Ohio,
which have been out of operation for
several years, are being reopened
with full force of men. The Wade
paper mills at Malone, N. Y which
have been idle for two years, have
been reopened; the Bridgeton, Pa,
woolen mills, which have been closed
nearly three years, have resumed op
erations; two of the Ohio Valley
raiIronds have given orders for one
thousand new box cars each, for use
in the business which is being offered
them, and which they are now unable
to handle; the Cleveland rolling mills
report large order from Birming
ham, England, and all Ohio pape
mill reports a contract of severa
thousand tons of print paper for tn,

The fact will not be lost sight of

From the Buffalo IN. y Commercial.
1t has been a standing joke with the
free sllveritse and the Bryanltes that IL
Mckinley was the "advance agent of
prosperity" he was "a long way ahead
of the show" He seems, however, to
have heralded a SHOW" that has
reached the country, that Is in splendid
shape, that has come to stay, and that
win draw big houses, and a big busi-
ness. That sound. reliable and conserv-
ative business paper, the New York
Journal of Commerce says;
THE loans of the Clearing House
banks Of this city last week touched the
highest figure on record. The leading
operations of the banks usually attain
their highest expansion in the month of
September, and this current month
opens with a total of loans and dis
counts amounting TO S569, 800, 900. In
September of last year. the highest
weekly average was S45S, 100 900, and in
1895, 1922, 700, 900.
Compared with September of the
panic year (1S9S), the current figures
show an increase of $169, ,100. .00O and
with September OF 1SS9-a year of
great financial expansion, the crisis of
1S90-the increase is 10000, 900. The COM
parison shows that the city banks are
now lending IA per cent. more than the
highest volume ever attained in the
history of their operations. No more
complete demonstration is possible of
the completeness of the recovery of
business from its late depression. We
are far beyond the highest previous
normal level of activity"
These are figures that do not lie.
They silence every calamity bowler;
they gladden. the heart of every work
-ingman. They are splendid reauing for
the laboring men after they come
home from their picnic today.

His injuries Permanenv.

From the Doylestown Republican,
Bryan in collision-His train meets
another and twelve are killed"
This is the heading of a newspaper
dispatch published the other day. OF
course, 1t refers to a railroad smashup
Nearly a year ago Bryan was in an
other sort of collision. His train ran
into the peoples train-result, Bryan
was injured politically and many thou.
sands of fellow travellers met their po.
litical death. Bryan still manages tC
get about on free silver coinage

are permanent. He will never recover
to the extent that he hopes. He will
never reach Nhe White House except h
goes there as a visitor.

If Mr.. Bryan will apply to the
syndicate which recently paid him

thirty per cent, since the Diugley laW

The Democratic papers say the
"Dingley deficit" amounts TO S20,.
100000 or tbereabouts already. They
forget that s1O0,O0O,00O of goods
were, in the months in which the
Dingley bill was pending, rushed into
the country in excess of the importa.
tions in the previous year in that
time, and the duties which this extra
importation brought into the treasury
amounted to about s32,000,000. This
S100,000,000 of goods we're imported
or were taken out of bond 10 that
time in order TO escape the higher
duties to be levied by the new law.
If the s92,000,O00 of extra duties had
been spread over the period which
has elapsed since the new law went
into operation, or if s20,000,000 Of
them had been thus diffused, there
would be no "Dingley deficit" II
seems safe TO predict that when i'm
portation reaches its normal figure
the deficit will begin to disappear.

The new tariff is a thoroughly pro-
tective measure. 1t keeps the campaign
promise of 1896 to the letter. There are
errors and omissions, of course, as there
always have been and always will be in
so comprehensive a measure as a gen.
eral revision of tariff schedules, but in
the main, and probably with fewer er-
rors and omissions than usual, the
Dingley tariff will be found to be amply
protective of American Industries
