Indications OF renewed prosperity
throughout the country form tho topic
for tho following comments hy the
Nashville, Tenn, American. u staunch
Democratic paper:
There do BIO people in these parts who
say IL ia treason TO Democracy not to
look long faced and cry starvation but,
nevertheless, facts arc fnctB; and, for
our part, we don't believe either the
Republican or the Democratic party
had anything TO do with making tho
good wheat crop or increasing the price
of the cereal. The American IN still
prepared to contend that, 10 far rs
legislation is concerned, the country
would he much better of under the
happy auspices Of Democratic policies;
hut this country ia lar too great to be
held down by bad politics; and, II the
Tennessee farmers have money TO spend,
husinasH in Nashville Ia likely to be
good, no matter who ia President. and
no matter what Congrass has done.
The American ia right, and the Demo
cratic papers that assume the unenyia'
bile role of calamity -howlers are doing
an injury to the country and rejecting
no credit upon their party. They take
their Gus, doubtless from the tiisroput-
able course pursued by the partisan
Repuhlican papers Of the country four
years ago. These mendRcious journRls
fairly shrieked with glee at each an
nOuncement Of business disastor, and
accepted all as teEta for sermons
directed against tho Cleveland admin
istration and the Democratic party.
That their evil c0urss did much to in.
crease the prevailing depression and
dIstrust cannot lie doubted.
Now these Republican journals are
on the other tack. They revile the
partisan Democratic press for following
the bad example set by them, and strain
themselves to the utmost TO distort the
real business situation by claiming the
existence of universal prosperity and
assembling it to the influence of the Re-
] publican national administration, Ac.
uording 10 their glowing presentation
the country is busting with active and
prosperous business, and all the people
are growing rich.
These partioan Rep ublican papers are
rs foolish and sensolcss as the purtisan
Democratic sheets they SO ronndly de-
nouncc. Both are enemies of tho pub
lie. in that they deceive for partisan
effect 1t should not DO possible ia
make party capital out OF either periods
nf prosperity or periods of depression.
The truth Of the matter is that bust
nsss generally 10 this country hns been
pretty bed for a few years past. but il
gradually improving The situation
to-day is considerably better than il
was a year ago, and there are promises
Of continued improvement. But tn.
country is neither hilariously prosper
Gus nor hopelesHly bankrupt, no mattel
how partisan journals OF both parties
may contend 10 the contrary.

Compelled by tho fortvfu logic OF the
incident, the Delawarean. aH IA faithful
organ of free silver cuinuge, at last
takes note OF the Simultaneous advance
in wheat and decline in the price of
silver hulliun--a situation at once con.
trary to all the tenets that tho silverites
hold most sacred. But II replies only
to the absurd Republican contention
that tho result is due to tho Dinlgey
bill and on this point it truly says that
the "Dingley Tariff law has nothing to
do with it," 1t insists that the price
of wheat is determined by two causes
1.-The supply and demand and the vol
ums Of money.
AS far as supply and demand are a
factor in regulating price, We agree
with Our contemporary. The law Of
supply and demand has always neon
inezorable, and will continue 10 lie, de-
spite tbs threat Of the ardent silvorito
that We will repeal this law Of supply
aud demand as soon as RryRn is
elected. ~ The volume of money"
would also be factor in determining
price IL money were scarce, but as there
is an ample supply ut currency-do'
spite its varied and unsatisfactory
quality - in this country, 1t can
safely he dismissed at present as having
nothing 10 do With the situation. Then
tho Delawaroan proceeds:
Our Republican friends loudly pro-
claim that the present price nf wheat
proves that silver has nothing to do
with 1t. IL does not require any very
great intellect 10 comprehend the indis-
putabls fact that an appreciated stand
ard OF value depreciates the value of
everything else when measured by that
standard. An appreciated dollar must
cheaper everything which that dollar
buys. The law Of supply and demand
has sent up the price Of whoat 10 spite
of the fact that our mnney has appreci'
ated in value when niaasued Ivy other
things. 1t Is ia altogether reasonable to
suppose that II our circulating medium
were larger and the supply Of money
greater, money would be sasiqr for the
people to get ami that every product OF
the land would advance in price.
We are unable to see, from the above
disclaimer, that the DelawareRn at
tempts to prove that silver does have
anything to "do with It," although il
presumes to deny that it has not.
This talk about an appreciated dol
lar" ia all rubbish. A dollar under the
laws OF this country is worth one hun
bred cents, and that is all gold dollar
is worth. But when it comes to de
preciated" dollars, the situation is diff
ferent. We have had "depreciatod dol.
lars" IN this country, and we know
something of their results. We do moi
care for them again, even if they have
about fifty cents worth of silver meta
to give them weight and form.
In view, therefore, of the unsatiH
factory nature of tho Delawarean's ref
erence TO the wheat ami silver situa
ton, We arc constrained to ask it how
, it reconciss the present low price o
, silver metal and tho advancing quota
tions for wheat with the contention o
the free silver coinage advocates tina
tho price OF silver invariably regulates
= the price of wheat.

The record of our manufactured OK
ports for the twelve months ended june

twelve months. During tho six months
beginning last January, manufactured
exports increased nearly s23, 900 900 over
the same six months OF 1896. and SO, :
GOO, 600 over 1857 The Importance of
these growing exports OF manufactures,
during the fiscal year 1897, the Now
York Evening Post says, may be judged
from the fact that. enormous as our
shipment of cereals has been during tho
same twelve months, the manufactured
exports exceeded tina value Of outgoing
breadstuffs by $4,000, 900, whereas in
the corresponding perind ending with
June of 1892, breadstuiis exports ran
beyond the shipment Of manufactures
by Sl4l, 900, 900. In short, the manu-
featured exports of tbs fiscal year 1887
made up nearly 81 per cent Of tho
largest total export trade in Ths history
of the United States.
