President Mckinley is preparing
to open negotiations with England
to revive the abandoned treaty OF
general arbitration which the
senate RI Gently defeated. Secretary
Sherman will have draft Of the
new treaty ready for the regular
session in December. There is an
almost unanimous feeling among
the English speaking races in favor
Of such a treaty. lingo politicians
may try to SOW seeds of discussions
but in the end better spirit will
prevail. When the two greatest
nations in the world join hands in
a general treaty of arbitration,
civilization will have passed a
golden milestone, and the poet S
ideal Of a congress of the world
seem not so utopian after all.

The senate still has the tariff
bill on its hands and this week
will complete the wool schedule.
The country will rejoice that the
end is so nearly in sight. The
past week has seen some rapid
work in pushing the bill. In sew
eral instances the silver republi-
cans joined with the west in fixing
schedules in favor OF western pro-
ducts. This was the only notable
break in party lines during the
week. The republicans have
patched up all differences in party
caucus and outside of the wool
schedule there are but very few
points where the debate will be ex'
tended.

Thrift is more a factor in placing
our American homes beyond the
pinch Of hard times, than the ques-
ton higher wages and shorter
hours OF labor. Thrift is too often
the last thing in the line of politi-
cal and domestic economy that the
American laborer learns. Many
fail entirely to learn the lesson and
blame providence and hard luck
with a lifelong improvidence that
might have been averted. The
question of a dollar saved is mnch
more important one than the ques-
ton of dollar earned. Having
learned this lesson III primary
economics we can pass to other and
broader questions. but till this one
is learned the others will utterly
fail to provide for home comforts
and to guard the proverbial penny
that insures against the rainy day.

idea, that in case Of conflict with
the state in point of law against
the new commonwealth ideas, that
his followers would fly to arms to
maintain the organization His
plan in the main IS another attempt
at socialism. There is nothing
new in the movement. The plans
of Fourier, Robert Dale Owen,
and a dozen others were similar in
their proposed operation. Their
failures have gone into history as
peaceable attempts to establish
visionary ideas. The only thing
new that Debs hints at is war upon
organized government charged
with the failure Of his plans or re-
bellion against the law that will
restrain his eccentric evolutionS

Prosperity Returning.

Is prosperity returning to the
country is a question which peo-
pie are asking and which can be
answered only by careful study
Of trade conditions After four
years of depression no sane man
expected to see prosperity return
with a bound. The commercial
interests Of the country were in the
worst condition ever known in our
history. Industrially we were III
the very storm center Of an area of
low barometer which took in the
whole country and threatened dan
ye.ous results. The return to nor
NAL conditions is naturally slow.
We can measure progress only by
comparisons. These comparisons
show he .lthy reaction. Com
mercial reports have a healthier
tone. In the face Of these facts the
chronic kickers, even, forget to
kick. There is no great up-heaval
but gradual betterment of trade
conditions.
These improved conditions can
be clearly shown. Already the
producing force of the country is
fairly we'll employed, but recen,
reports give them even a better
outlook. Large buyers tor manu-
fac,urers have been dealing largely
in the staples in raw material
There have been heavy purchase:
in wool, and pig iron. Increased
orders in the lines Of wooden goods
and iron and steel show that thu
conditions have be grasped b,
capable men. More establishments
have been set at work and NOR
hands employed, and the progress
toward better things is unchecked
The croaker will continue q
long as there are idle meh 10 Civ
him hearing He will measur
today with the prosperity of fou
years ago and cry out against OH
present condition. The thing t
do is to measure today with tn
depression of one year ago and sc
ii trade is not improving Meas
ured in this way there is ever
evidence that there is risin
barometer. We are getting out {
the storm center, and into a CT
matte condition that favors all tt
prosperity promised by the mo-
sanguine.

Never in the history of Lewiston
have the local merchants offered
better bargains to the purchaser
than during the present season.
The reason is very clear. The old
credit system has given way to
business OH a cash basis. Cash
always buys more goods. It places
the buyer on equal terms with the
seller of the merchandise. The
man compelled to ask for credit is
never ON equal terms with the
buyer with spot cash in his pocket
The merchant eau turn the cash
sale Into new merchandise and can
afford to make less profit by being
able to do double the business on
the same capital. Cash business
favors the farmer. 1t enables him
to live on this year S profits instead
Of subsi,ting on money raised by
mortgage on next years prospects.
Prosperity will hover over the
homes in Lewiston valley with a
protecting care il the lessons lear,'
ed by the hard times are not for
gotten. Thrifty buying aud care
full saving will bling about ths
right results. A careful study O
the new conditions will place thu
people upon a vantage ground tha
will insure them continued pros
perity and handsome competence
for the future.
