All indications signify returning prosper
ity and encourage the hope that when the
tariff is settled the business of the country
will enter upon a long and prosperous
period.-Madison Courier.
If farm prices do not stop advancing and
silver prices do not stop their downward
course. there will be nothing left to sus-
tain the chief theory of the free-coinage
orators OF last fall that prices of farm
products kept pace with those OF silver.
-Cannelton Enquirer.
A few more days and the country will
have a new tariff law The country will
welcome the new measure with gladness
before 1t becomes necessary to frame an
other one. The experience the country has
had with a Democratic tariff should be
sufficient TO last for years.-Lafayette
Courier.
The Citizens Street-railroad Company of
Indianapolis has been appraised at $1,000. GOO,
yet it is capitalized for S9.000,000. Their
argument against Scent fare is that ii
would make it impossible to pay interest
on their capital, and that is precisely what
the people do not want them TO do. Squeeze
the water out and cents will meet every
just demand-Fort Wayne Gazette.
Democrats are beginning to admit that
the extraordinary expectations of manufac-
tured articles under the Wilson law, over
which much shouting has been going

are seeing now and admitting that these
exports are largely due to the absence OF

Governor Mounts brief stay at the Re-
formatory seems to have added to the
laurels OF that institution as a reformatory.
AS a matter of fact no one institution is
more creditable to Indiana or more wisely
and economically managed. The Gov

With duty of 10 and II cents per pound
on wool, the wool-growing industry in this
country will speedily revive, and the farm
ers will find themselves greatly benefited.
In anticipation of such protection as would
shut out the cheap foreign WOODS ana Shod-
dies, the farmers have begun to stock up
their farms with sheep, and within year
wool-growing will be one OF the most proht-
able industries In which the farmers can
engage.-MiddletOwn News.
Railroad earnings are increasing, bank
clearings are growing, and on ali hands
financial confidence is returning. Travellers
and observers, both in this neighborhood
and generally, say the crops are splendid
in quality and quantity, and everything is
going right along in the line of advancing
prosperity. And yet a few calamity shrek a,l7
their time decrying all this, and pronounc-

The recent developments in Congress in
which large number of Democrats have
abandoned the free-trade theory and sup
ported high protection, coupled with the
fact that a large number of DemocSats in
every State where there are campaigns this
fall have refused to support the silver
issue, are rapidly disgusting the Populist
leaders and deciding them to dissolve the
partnership existing between those two
parties, and it is probable that fusion be
tween Populists and Democrats will be i'm
possible in the future-Columbia City Mail.
The Hawaiian annexation treaty contin-
ues to be the subject of much attention and
discussion, and the more it is discussed
the more satisfactory it becomes, and the
greater the prospect of it's ratification.
While it is scarcely expected that it will
be taken up for final action at this SEES
sion, there is every reason to believe that
it will be confirmed at no distant day. and
that the American flag, which was pulled
down in Hawaii by an eX-Confederate at
the direction of Grover Cleveland, will be
hoisted permanently.-Richmo Pallad-
