NOT PROSPEROUS.

Cotton manufacturers In the east were
never in worse condition. Wages Of
operatives are now so low that to accept
reduction would be positively working
for less than means of support. Re.
ferring to the situation of Fall River,
Massachusetts, the Dry Goods Econo-
mist states:
"That the cotton industry of Fall Riv-
er is in a parlous state is evident when
talk is heard not only of the reduction
OF wages of mill operatives, but also OF
the salaries Of overseers, superintend-
ents, treasurers and other officers. The
manufacturers are fully aware of the
serious condition of affairs, and siren.
uous efforts will be made to counteract
the disadvantages under which they are
now laboring. Such action and its le-
suits will be awaited with keen interest,
tor none can close their eyes to the fact
that the difficulties before the Fall River
mill men are very great"

A SILVER SUGGESTION.

Francis G. Newlands NJ. g. from
Nevada, and Republican, in letter
to Secretary Gage urges union Of all
Americans on the silver question. He
shows that the western hemisphere pro-
duces about four-ffths of the silver of
the world; that the United States has
about 81 OO0,OO0, 600 of greenbacks and
other paper, and that by restoring sill
yer all this paper money could be re-
deemed in gold and silver in say Eve
years time. There is no use in bother.
ing Europe or being bothered by Europe.
We can paddle our own canoe and be
Independent. Surely any rational
American plan that would restore silver
and get the country away from the gold
standard money bondage would be an
improvement. A nation involved in
debt as we are, and whose legislation is
mostly schemes for pluudering the peo-
pie more and more is not in the way of
prosperity.
Let any sensible citizen ask himself
what has gold standard done for the
country since 1873, except to bring hard
times and ruin? What has protection
so called done for US during this time
except to help along the ruin? During
this time and under protection our for
eign trade has been carried in foreign
ships until less than sixth of this vast
business is done in American vessels, Is
not change demanded?
Assuredly, Republican policies have
been costly and ruinous experiments
to the country. And the trouble is the
party profits, not by experience, for the
persons that control the Republican
party are those comparatively few, who
prosper and wax rich by these evil meas.

THE MARCH OF ELECTRICITY.

One of the wonders Of this age is the
march of electricity. And the march is
by no means at an end or even near the
end probably.
From time to time different means Of
obtaining power have been used. Before
steam came into such general use water
power was common, and centuries back
in Europe wind was utilized.
The use and application Of steam so
generally and so variously made coal
fields valuable, and hence their develop.
ment so extensively. And thus water
power to drive machinery has been
abandoned.
Now, however, attention is being
turned to water power again. Water
falls are being turned to account for the
production of power and sources of heat
and force and so producing electricity.
The Chicago Chronicle thus calls at
tention to the coming condition that
will rob the coal baron of his naughty
bearing and tyranny, and predicts that
in the future the prosperous countries
will be those abounding in flowing streams
with an abundance of water, dam sites
and water falls. That Journal says:
"Some rather startling facts have been
adduced regarding the wonderful effects
wrought upon society and sociological
problems by the influence of electricity,
working often through remote causes.
The abundant production of silver and
gold is due in large me asure to the sue
cess of electrical installations and trans
mission OF power in the mining districts,
which in the past have been seriously
limited in production by the absence Of
available fuel.
"The wide utilization of water powers
the world over for the production OF
electrical power seems to indicate that
the progress of electrical science has ap-
parently changed the condition of in.
dustrial supremacy, and water power
will be the determining factor in the
future, so that the countries possessing
numerous and large falls will be greater
centers Of industry than those having
coal hpds ~

Imports bring revenue not exports
The great purpose of the Dingley law
was to curtail or cut of imports and
thus lessen revenue, as the working of
the law demonstrates. There seems to
be neither sense nor consistency in Re
publican policies. Their so called pro-
lection interferes with trade, and hence
with revenue. At this rate under
Dingleyism this administration may
have to favor an income tax. OF course
they dare not abandon the trusts and
syndiCates,
