himself as the associate and conn-
selor of the potent master of the
prosperity apparatus. II is his
duty to paint the gladstone smile of
content on the face Of distress and
to scatter the perfume of expecta-
tion in the swamps of despair. 1t
is his duty to prove to an eager and
credulons people that thistles are
roses fit for nosegavs.
But this forgetfulness Of his pn-
sition and OF his duty as an officer
in the household of the magician Of
prosperity is not Secretary Cages
worst offense. He has the audacity
to tell what he really thinks and
the folly to insist that something
cannot come out of nothing. He
actually declares that before busi
ness can revive it is necessary for
the Republican party to accomplish
something, thus denying that there
is power in the election of McKin-
ley and the triumph of the Repub-
lican party to revive industry and
commerce as the sun in Spring
awakens nature from her sleep. He
shows himself incapable of that
lofty optimism which, with child
like faith and enthusiasm, extols
the potency of the Republican rab
bits foot. He is an infidel and
calamity bowler.
There is still another aspect of
Secretary Cages offense which rem
ders it positively brutal. His in
considerate admission that prosper
ity has not arrived knocks the props
from under the rabbits foot proph-
cts who are trying desperately to
bolster up the gorgeous but himsy
structure of misrepresentation which
they erected to catch unwary vo.
ters. One can imagine the nauseat-
ing disgust excited by the Secre-
tary's remarks in the breasts of the
press agents Of fat prosperity. 1t
is bad enough to be exposed and
tainted by unbelievers, but to be
held up to sneers and ieers in the

MINISTER DUpUY DE LoME's letter to
Mrs Jefferson Davis, in which he states
that Miss Cisneros "lured the military
commander of the Island of Pines to her
house that he might be assassinated by
men concealed on the premises for that
purpose" and that she is guilty of a
crime against the Spanish government
for which she must be punished, is in
keeping with the methods employed by
the Spanish to Justify the war made up
on helpless women and children on the
Island of Cuba. The facts in the case are
that the military commander of the
Island of Pines forced his unholy atten-
tion upon Miss Cianeros and because she
would not submit and was defended by a
gentleman, the gallant commander
trumps up charges against the girl and
endeavors to have her sent to a penal
settlement for revenge and to establish
some kind of a defense for himself.
Minister de LONE may imagine that the
American people are to be deceived by
such stories, but they will not suffice to
that extent that fate worse than death
may be imposed upon the unfortunate
young woman withouta vigorous protest
being made and strong efforts put forth
to save her.

JUDGING from all Indications the coal

an old story. The strikers will be de-
feated, will be compelled to return to
work and at whatever wages the operators

companyipg wages will have been lost
and the hardships of winter will have to
be faced without any savings whatever to
fall back on. II was a foolish move in
the first place, conceived in foolishness
by the labor agitators who desired to
gain little cheap notoriety and have
the opportunity to stand on the street
corners and herald to the world what 1--WE

men," It is almost beyond comprehen.
sion that sensible, hard working men will
fetch and carry for demagogues of the
stamp of Debs and his ik and enable
them to live lives of ease by reason Of
the supposed "pull" they have with the
laboring men. There is no doubt but
that the lot of the coal miners lie not an
enviable one, but it is not going to be
bettered by antagonizing capital, which
is in a position to stand strikes and look
outs without any material disadvantage.

BANK CLEARINGS.

In the year 1892, when the United
States was at the height of its prosperi-
ty under the Mckinley policy of pro-
lection, the volume of business trans
acted in the city of New York, as rep
resented by the bank clearings of our
commercial metropolis, aggregated near
ly $37, 200, 600, 900 But the "deadly
blight" of free trade threw it's destruc-
tive blast upon us and the business of
New York city decreased by more than
5000, 100000 during the first year of
the Democratic administration. In the
next year, 1894, it decreased by almost
81, 900, 900, 900 more, making total
loss of business in the one city exceed
ing over $12, 100000 within two
short years In 1895 and in 1896 there
was some slight Improvement, yet the
volume of business transacted in New
York last year, under free trade, was
almost IS, 900, 900, 900 less than in 1899
under protection.
But study the effect Of our Democrat
ic fiscal policy upon the London market,
upon British trade and upon English
enterprise. With practically no change
in 1892 and 1893, followed by decline
in 1894, when cur business was par
alyzed and millions Of our people were
idle, the business of London grew to
nearly $37, 1000. 900, 900 in 1895 and in
1896, it's volume then equaling the ex-
tent of our business in 1892, when we
had protection. In other words, there
was a complete transfer of prosperity
from the United States to the United
Kingdom under the Democratic policy
Of free trade. Following are the entire

White is more universally becoming than
any color 1t is worn by the newly born
as well as by the aged and symbolizes the
purity of one as we'll as of the other. The
general desire of mankind is to live to be
very old, and often indeed extreme age in
duces pride not only in the aged ono him
self or herself, but in the aged ones rela-
tives. To have a connection well on in
the nineties, or even friend, is to have a
sort Of reflected glory. Persons who have
achieved nothing in the world of letters or
art may nevertheless acquire distinction
through the mere merit of long life if it
extends beyond the usual limits. For very
old ladies nothing is more charming than
pure white, which recalls the innoceno
and helplessness of infancy and harmonizes
with the sunny hair and pallor of old age.
White caps, white kerchiefs and cuffs, even
white gowns in warm weather, are the fit

Comparing the figures for 1894 with
those of 1892 we find that the amount
of business transacted in The United
States, as represented by our bank clear
ings, declined at the rate Of $15, 800,
600, 200 year within two years under
the Democratic administration. In the
year 1896 our loss of business had been
almost $1,000, 100000 as compared
with 1892 In 1895 the loss was almost
$4,000, 100000 In 1898 it was more
than ST., 900, 000 900. So that since the
Republican administration Of the Unit
ed States, under President Harrison,
and during the Democratic administra-
ton of the country under President
Cleveland there has been total loss of
business, as compared with 1892, aggre-
eating the enormous sum Of $4,000
600, 900 in the four Democratic years.
1t is impossible to realize the full
meaning of this stupendous loss. But
we are determined to face the evil
bravely, to buckle to our strength for
fight for the restoration Of prosperity
under the Dingley tariff. This will
remain in American history as the date
of the dawn of a new and bright indus
trial era in the United States.
