NOTES AND OPINIONS.

sooner or later.
Not so very long ago any man who went
into tailor shop and asked to have suit
made of American goods would be laughed
at He would be told that no good Ameri-
can cloths were made, and he would be
practically forced into buying French or
English products.
But the tailors as we'll as the manufac-
turers of ready-made clothing are learning
better. They are discovering that cloth
lust as good and considerably cheaper than
that imported from France and England
can be obtained from domestic sources

Business is increasing rapidly, but not
faster than the amount of money in cir
culation.
At the beginning of September the per
capita rculation-that is, the proportion
of money in the country outside of the
treasury-was $22.76, while it was $2z.Ss
at the beginning of October, an increase
of thirteen cents for each man, woman and
child in the country during the month,
basing the expansion in population on the
treasury table of increase.
The country will have all the money il
needs now that it has given up the silver
folly for good. Every country which
avoids financial errors always has all the
money which business necessities demand

Ohio was regarded by considerable poll
ticians on both sides as doubtful when the
campaign opened several months ago, bu
there has not been stage in the campaign
since then that has not presented new OBJ
stacles to the Democrats and smoothet
out some of the sharp angles which fret
ted the Republicans.
John R. Mclean started out confidently
expecting to elect Democratic Governor
and Legislature and land himself in the
United States Senate, but the free silver
platform on which he planted the party
has been gradually weakening until final

tirement from the Senatorial field, and the
chances now are that Governor Bushnell
will be reelected by large majority and
Marcus A. Hanna will secure his election

Foreign trade in September, the heavy
increase in iron production and consump
ton, and the largest payments through
clearing houses ever known in October
are indications which outweigh hesitation
in some markets. The increase in EN-
ployment of labor has continued, witt
further accounts daily of works opening
increasing force ofhands, or raising wages
and at every point where actual produc
ton can be tested it appears greater thar
ever before. Exports of the chief products
in September amounted to $40, All il

1t strikes us that there are as good rea
sons why the people of New Jersey
should vote the Republican ticket next
month as existed year ago. There i:
nothing to show that the voters made 6
mistake when they declared in favor of q
Republican administration in the State
and set aside the Democratic leaders who
violated nearly every trust that was re-
posed in them
| The work done by the Republican Leg
islatures in the past three years has beer
in the line of economy in the expenditure
of public moneys, and whenever mer
have been appointed to public Office il
that time, they have been selected with ar
eye to their honesty and competency Il
is hardly necessary to say that the admin
istration of public affairs since the Repub.
licans took the helm has been freer from
trickery, treaChery and dishonesty than al
any time when the Democrats were in alb
solute power.
This being true and beyond reasonable
contradiction, why should the people ask
for changer Why should not they take
lively interest in the election of the Leg
islature, and see to it that the men who
considered their own personal interest be-
fore they thought of the interest of the
people, are not reestablished in power?
They should be deeply interested in
keeping the Republican party in power
and that can only be done by electing Re
publicans to the Legislature. There is a
matter of importance quite as grave as the
adjustment of the race tracks, and that i:
the expanding of the money that the tax
payer puts into the State Treasury. Tha
money will be honestly spent if honest
men are elected to Office. If dishones
men are elected, the money will be dis
honestly spent. sacred duty, then tina
the moral forces have to perform mex
month, is to go to the polls and work To-
the election and reelection of Republi
cans whose mettle has been tried ant
found to be pure.-.Stats Gazette.
