COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

If many protected republican
bosses had not cut wages the phantom
of dear bread would be welcomed, in
stead of dreaded by thousands on this
side of the water.-Kansas City Times.
Mr.. Mckinley has settled it. The
crops did it in the west and the tariff in
the east, AS between Providence and
William Mckinley honors are easy
in the estimation of the latter.-Minne-
apolis Times.
Flour is going up; sugar is going
up; clothing is going up; crockery is
going up; leather is going up; every
thing is going up but the wages of the
employees in protected industries
Utica IN. W Observer.
So President Mckinley will not
stump the state for Hanna, after all?
Well, it is good to know that there is
a limit to the amount of interest the
Hanna syndicate intends to exact for
that little loan.-Tammany Times.
The recognition of dollar wheat in
the republican platforms IS all right for
the time being, only the credit ought to
be bestowed where it belongs. An Om-
nipotent Providence has certain rights
that even party platform makers are
bound to respect.-Boston Herald.
Matt Quay was once considered
the embodiment of all that was evil in
republican machine politics. Then Boss
Platt went him one better, and now
comes Marcus Aurelius Hanna to show
to the world professional debaucher
of elections in all his glory-a master
hand-a past grand master in the art.
Dayton co., Times.
-Republican editors who are now
denying that they expected" imme-
diate prosperity to follow the election
of Mckinley belong, evidently. to that
class of people who are so struck on
their own ability and acumen that they
prefer to be considered willful falsifiers
rather than reckless and ignorant blum
derers.-Grand Rapids (Mich.) Demo
.rat.
Senator Thurston's term does not
expire until 1901, but he told his Ne
braska constituents in a public speech
the other day that he did not intend to
ask for reelection and that he was tired
of Washington life. Now if the senator
will tell what he has done since he has
been in office to make him tired he will
confer a favor upon his vigilant and
anxious countrymen. He would be
sure of his facts if he would say that he
has made the country tired.-St. Louis
Republic.
The Dingley law is proving it's
claim to the title: "a tariff for bounties
and a deficit Since it went into eff
feet various trusts favored by duties
that are nearly. If not altogether. pro-
hibitive upon competing foreign trade
have advanced prices. Some of them
have concurrently reduced wages. The
prices of all necessaries are going up.
At the same time the public revenues
are dwindling and the deficit is grow
ing. The deficiency since July 1 is al.
ready S25. GOO. .000.-S. Y World.
As a matter of fact all the evil
dences of reyiving prosperity come
through agricultural channels. Before
the DingIey law was passed the western
farmers paid off mortgages to the
amount of many millions of dollars. Re-
newed activity in the agricultural inn
plement industry is due solely to bright
er prospects on the farms. Hence 1t is
impossible to trace reviving commerce
in the remotest way TO the Dingley
law. We believe it is coming in spite of
that compound of thievery, bribery and
njustice.-Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal.
