IL declined instantly and enormously.
The decline OF steel rails from S25 to
from SIT to $40 a ton has now, BY the
alchemy of the gold standard, become
al evidence of the arrival of prosper
ity. Mr.. Clews has always been
protectionist, one of the loudest rail-
ers against decreasing tariffs, which
would close our factories, throw work
men out of employment and produce
commercial and industrial chaos. But
now, when the price of steel rails is inst
below that of European countries. thus
making tariffs On foreign rails useless:
when, in fact, manufacturers put steel
rails on the free list, suddenly free
trade" with its consequent low prices,
becomes prosperity maker! Steel
rails are reduced in price, the wages of
labor in the mills severely cut, smaller
manufacturers are to be crushed out
of existence by a colossal ironmongers'
combine, the people are to be brought
more completely under the rule OF huge
trusts, wealth is to be more and more
centralized in the hands of the few,
and all these things are harbingers of
good times, of low prices, which for
the first time in the world are to be the
parents of prosperity.

midst of the ruin it has wrought; it is
these fellows who assume that they
should be granted the governmental
prerogative of issuing the money for
the people and regulating its quantity.
1t is these fellows that are demanding
that the government go out of the
banking business which is a new evil

Where the clover blossoms press their

The MaJoR.s POLICY.
a Mistake That Is Likely to Prove {
Grave One.

Grave One.
Mai. Mckinley enters upon the work
of performing his contract 10 restore
prosperity. 1t was understood during
the campaign that the promise was TO
restore prosperity Immediately after
the election, but when that promise
failed of redemption. the ajor's friends
set forth that there had been q mistake
about it; that it was unreasonable to
expect important results until the new
Neglected president was afforded the
opportunity to put his policy into force.
Accordingly the return of prosperity
was postponed until after the inaugu-
ration, but we may now look for the
opening of the mills, thing very much
more to be desired, as the major put it,
than the opening of the minis.
OF course the new president must be
given little time to take his bearings
and to get his working force in order.
The restoration of prosperity is much
more easy in promise than in perform
ance, and it is not fair to be too exact
Ing. Every reasonable person is willing
tc give the major chance. Eliminate
the partisan view and it will be seen
t.aat he is very worthy gentleman,
and that he cuts a pleasing figure in
the public gaze. He means well beyond
a doubt, and he will be as glad as any
body can be to see better times, leaving
aside all consideration of the credit
that must accrue to his administration
through restoration of prosperity. 1t
is a fact, however, that he seems to be
en- the point of making mistake as to
the means to be employed to bring
about business and industrial improve
ment- The need for currency reform
vas admitted during the campaign to
be a pressing need, but currency re-
form appears to be no part of the policy
OF the new administration, which is
laboring under the impression that the
safety and well-being of the country
depend alone on tariff tinkeripg. 1t is
widely believed that this is mistake
that is likely to prove grave one, and
it is to be noted that even the logical
Eeneficiaries of the protective policy
are protesting against it. It looks,
therefore, as if the new administration
had chosen the wrong course at the
start, and as if the people were to be
sacrificed for the sake OF the favored
few. One thing is clear, at any rate
the money power is serenity ITSELF

a Cold Bug Delusion.

The democratic papers which support

cling to their breasts the delusion that
they see prosperity on the threshold,
and in spite of the fact that they have
been fooIing themselves this way for
months, they are still at it, with un-

fixes their gaze. OF course, the resto-
ration of prosperity as the effect of
popular determination TO stick to

those papers had for going over to the
support of the republican candidates,
and in view of their eagerness to see
this excuse materialize, it is not sur
prising that they sometimes fancy they
are about to grasp it. One would sup

Bfmetanism OF RepubIicann.

The republican party committed itself
20 the principle of bimetallism in its
platform, though it hedged at the limit
of international action. 1t cannot now
consistently retire from its position,
though its leaders have shown them
selves always facile in eating their own
words when the logical sequence is too
threatening. But with the pressure of
public opinion there will be neither ex-
cuse nor inducement in failing to go on
IN good faith. Even on the assumption
that the conference would fail in decis-
