People whotare assuming that the Inn

chat careful inquiry by the Bunalo TX
prcss results In an estimate that one mil.
! lion men who were lido In the autumn OF
| 1895 have obtained employment since
| that lime. ThIs. at least, indicates the
dawn OF the arrival OF prosperity.
The silver men in the Democratic party
continue their efforts TO drive the sound
money Democrats into the Republican
party, and they nre meeting Win great
success In every campaign planned
thus FAR they are making silver tho lead-
Ing issue. and the result Is that IN, d.

being made permanent
Fifty million dollars IS large lump OF
money 10 put into the pockets OF the
FarmSrs In lsss than a years time. That

ending with April. 1897, amounting to
1854. 725. OS7 and In the corresponding ten

Our spanish-American friends at the
south OF us evidently recognize the TACT
that the Republican party Is again In
control in the United States. They are
sending n delegation Of business men
here 10 encourage trade. a step which
they carefully avoided taking during the
existence Of the Cleveland adminiStra-
zion. which cut on the reciprocity treat
les and thus closed TO the United States
the markets which those treaties had
opened In those countries.
A billion dollars Of gold is good deal
of money. yet II In probable that the Tour
years between the campaigns OF 1895 and
| 1900 will SEE that sum added 20 the cur
| rency Of the world The gold productions
Of last year were $3.50 900. 900, and all indi~
cations point TO a rapid Increase, 90 that
II is probable that the four years men-
toned win add l6 per cent TO the gold
money Of the world. while the population
OF the world In that period will Increase
about four per cent.
Even China is waking up on the gold

clal Science states that silver, which IN
1865 stood at the rate OF is TO with gold
at Shanghai, fell TO &c TO In 1898 and
now stands At q TO /. and with the conSe'

The growth OF protective sentiment,
even among Democrats. Is shown by the
fact that members OF that party have
found themselves unable to agree about
methods Of fighting the tariff bill. The
old line Democrats in the senate when
their party got together In caucus wanted
TO tlRht the tarlfr on old free trade lines,
but they found the younger and protec-
tive element was so strong against them
that they were obliged TO abandon the
plan.
The proposition to utilize Mr.. Bayard
as a campaign orator In sundry statea
and cities In the approaching campaign
Is good one. Mr.. Bryan visited twenty
eight states as campaign orator during
the recent presidential campaign, and
succeeded Ia carrying six OF them, HYe OF
those six having from time immemortal
been Democratic Hllies. In all the large
cities vlsltcd by him the Republican vote
was enormous, and nearly every one OF
them was carried by the Republicans, In
olGhty-hve large cities Of the uhited
States. which In 1892 gave $4,000 Demo-
cratic plurality. the Republicans plurali-
ty In 1856 was $4,000, and most Of these
cities were visited BY Mr.. Bryan during
the campaign.
How impatient and unreasonable has
the American voter suddenly become.
