No tariff law which has gone upon the
statute books within the memory of the
present generation has been as cordially
approved and endorsed even by members
of the party opposed to 1t as is the case
with this one. The growth of the pro-
tective tariff sentiment in all parts Of the
country, coupled with the fact that the new
law destroys the advantages given to the
trusts under the Wilson law, make it an
especially popular measure, while the ad
vantages which it gives to the farmers, as
well as the manufacturers, adds to its gen.
eral acceptablity.

Words

The Real Significance of Three Potential
Words.
At various times during the circus season
the people of this and other portions of the
country have seen posted everywhere, on
barns and fences, those three words, "Wait
for Barnum," but very few persons are
aware OF their Importance. They are put
out to notify the people that the Barnum g.
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth will most
assuredly visit the section where the bills
are posted some time during the season.
and act as notice to all other shows that
such town or city has been pre-empted for
exhibition purposes by the big show. and
that others must not eneroach thereon. Ii
Is also measure of protection, as such a
big show must look after its territory and
see that no small shows absorb any of the
revenues absolutely necessary to maintain
the largest of them all. That good reason
exists why people should wait goes without
saying, for the Barnum Show is the only
one ever exhibited in the city of New York,
which 1t does every year in Madison Sduare
Garden. 1t was the only one sought by
the people of London, England, to inaugu-
rate the opening of the big building there,
known as Olympia, in 1885, and last season
ChcagO's new Coliseum-the largest build
ing of all. The biggest buildings on earth
are occupied at times by the Greatest Show

The Bryan Altgeld wing of the populist
party is very much disturbed over the result
of the Nashville convention, in which 700
representatives of the populist party de-
clared against future alliances with the
democratic or any other political organiza-
tons. The dignifed and vigorous utter
ances of that convention, representing, as 1t
did, large majority of the populists of the
United States, makes 1t perfectly apparent
that the days of fusion between populism
and democracy are over, and that the silver
democrats, who lost their gold associates
last year, will lose that other wing of their
party from this time forward.

We are glad to note that the State
Agricultural Society, which has been re-
ported as being too much embarrassed with
Indebtedness to be able to hold Fair in
1897, has emerged from its cloud and has
made such settlement with Its creditors as
to put it on its feet again. The society has
held forty-seven annual fairs, and has been
of great service to the state in agricultural
and industrial lines. 1t exhibitions have
always been creditable and full of interest.
The fair goes to Grand Rapids this year,
where there are fine grounds, good trans
portation, and an attractive city with plenty
Of accommodations for exhibitors and
visitors. Our readers should remember the
date Sept. 9th to 18th, and make point to
attend and help sustain this very useful
society.

Count Matuskata, the Japanese Premier,
has given the silver statesmen of the
United States great deal of trouble by his
speech before the Japanese Diet, in which
he urged the adoption of the gold standard
in his country, which the silverites had
year after year held up as the most pros
porous country In the east, and most pros
porous because of its silver standard.
Count Matsukata's speech has been pub
lished by the State Department, and by
order of the senate, and the silver people
are now spending good deal of time in
trying to DEVISE an excuse or explanation
for this action, though the stubborn fact
that the action was taken, and that after
the most careful consideration, makes all
their attempts at explanation valueless.
