PROSPERITY IN WAVES.


Protection works ON the SVEN nnG
FAN Principle.
Websteris definition Of wave may be.
summed up in the term oscillation or
instability. Sir Isaac Newton defines a
wave as irregularity or unevenness OF
surface. In the natural world wave
always presupposes an eyanescent cli-
max, to be followed Immediately by an
anticlimax or depression.
Thus we have by their own showing
the estimate which the blatant heralds
of artificial prosperity place upon their
own product. These partisan John the
Baptists, going up and down the land
telling the people to make way for
prosperity, have at least the virtue of
ingenuousness. They pirate of tidal
wave of prosperity that is not expected
on their own showing to be lasting.
We are to have, according to these her
aids, a wave of such prosperity as the
country has never witnessed before, and
all interested are to make hay while the
sur shines, for not being founded on
rational economics there is no telling
how long the wave may last.
The whole theory of tariff legerde-
main is based on the alternate swell and
subsistence of socalled prosperity. A
wave, either in economics or physics.
presupposes a depression elsewhere.
Following the physical origin of wave
to it's logical conclusion, it is the de-
preston that causes the wave. and vice
versa. Prosperity for the trusts and
monopolies of the United States, which
is the real aim of the tariff necro-
mancers, presupposes depression among
other classes, principally consumers and
the labor element.
Based on robbery, which differs in
degree only and not in kind from the
piracy of the middle ages or the brigand-
age of modern frontier life, this kind
of prosperity always runs its course
when an aroused public sentiment con-
siders it time to call halt. Whatever
of real prosperity is in store for the
people of the United States in the near
future will be tardy surrounding of
obstacles thrown in the way of nat
ural recuperation from hard times by
the tariff tinkerers. 1t is to be pro-
foundry hoped that such real prosper
ity, whose welcome appearance will
need no heralds or exploiters, will come
to remain with us and not to sweep over
the nation with ephemeral touch.
Oscillation from the heights of arti-
fetal prosperity to the depths of ex-
treme depression constitutes the most
hurtful of experiences for the body pol
itic. Steady growth without these al
ternate extremes is the only sign of
genuine prosperity, and such growth is
the nations assured destiny when the
tarim jugglers are suppressed for good

"Have you got him?" asked the leader

'Here he is" answered one of the
band, in a muffled tone.
An old man, with long white hair and
beard, stood trembling before them.

you made an election bet. You promised
that if your candidate was defeated you
would never again shave nor have your

The prediction of Senator Al
drich that the new tariff would fall
some $40.00o.000 per annum short of
meeting the expenses of the government
isin fair way of being borne out. What
is not denied in any quarter is that the
deficiency will be heavy. AS result
of this the country appears destined to
have its trade again seriously disturbed
by another tariff discussion in the early
future --IarnokIvra Citizen
