Depew and Carnegie on the Times.

AT a recent meeting OF the New
York Press association Chauncey
Dcpew, who made the first speech OF
the evening, said in part:
you, gentlemen, as editors, ought
to be peculiarly happy tonight. The
last campaign was peculiarly yours
because it was a campaign OF educa-
ton under extraordinary difficulties
But the laborer and the artisan wait
and the money in the vault lies IDLE,
and the mill aud the factory and the
luruace stop aud start and stop and
start again like impatient thorough
breds AT the commencement OF aracc.
Confidence is not the growth OF
night; it is the creation OF hundreds
OF tributary elements which ulti-
matey do succeed in enabling it to
accomplish its bcneGcent work. 1t
was six months after the resumption
of spocle payments in 1879 before the
country felt IN its trade, on tslarms,
and IN it's workshops the thrill OF re
stored credit.
THE investment market shows
that nearly as much money has
poured out to purchase securities in
the last two months as in the other
ten. 1t is the indication OF the rising
tide when our money first comes out
to buy giltedee securities, which can
be only affected by revolutions and
yield small interest; then, as distress
dimiu'shes and confidence and credit
increase, It ventures into the enter
prises which are the lie, the prosper
ity, and the wealth of nation"
Mr. D,pew said that it was a hard
job to argue with an empty pocket,
and a harder one to argue with
mortgage falling due and with an
empty purse. He said that it wants
the candidate who had saved the
country. Ee was a man with a
principle, and a candidate with a
principle was sure to win.
Andrew Carnegie IN a recent speech
concerning relations between capt
tai and labor said that the rich
and the poor are equally interested
in the maintenance of the same money
standard. I'VE need not inquire
whether it be gold or silver" said
Mr., Carnegie, but it it were for the
interests of the poor that the silver
standard should be adopted, it would
also ne TOR the best interests of the
rich, and vice versa. II the 'aborer
is prosperous, then is the employer
prosperous
In regard to the slow revival OF
DuSluSSS, MI al HSSlC Sdlu uC
thought the people expected too
much, or too early recovery. The
conditions, however, he thought were
most favorable, and business upon a
whole is upon sound foundation.
UNLESS some surprise is sprung
upon the country" said Mr.. Carue-
gle, nothing can hold it back from a
period OF general prosperity, espec
tally since the enormous product OF
gold continues to flow upon us. 1t
is now double what it was ten years
ago, SO that our friends the bimetal
lists will have no reason by and by
for bringing any change in the
standard"
