Wheels Are Whirling.

The return Of prosperity is fairly in
dicated by the starting up on full time,
of numerous factories throughout the
country during the past week, among
which we note the following: The Sill
yer Spring, Rhode Island, Bleachery
employing $50 hands the Central Falls
II l., Yarn mills. employing over ,O0O
persons; the mills Of the Farwell Worst
ed company, of same state, employing
over 80 hands; the Kent Wooen COM
pany, Of Centerville, Il. l., employing a
large number of hands the Repair
shops Of the Consolidated road at Valley
Falls II. l., employing 500 hands the
Candee Rubber company of r. l., en-
ploying 200 hands; the Riverside
Steel Works Of Bonwood, West Virginia,
employing from 800 to 800 hands.
The revival of these industrial insti-
tutons indicates increased confidence
on the part of their promoters. and a
gradual return to the old time rcpubii.

Pickler says, and Pickler probably
knows whereof he speaks, that Kyle is
not bound by any pledges to the repub
licans, bat, appreciating, as he does, the
decision of the people given last fall for
a protective tariff, he will throw nc
obstruction in the way of tariff legisla
ton, and that it is probable that he will
vote for higher tariff. AS potential
factor in the establishment of the pro
posed new era of republican prosperity
Kyle may be safely considered all right

The free silver advocates will now
have TO omit Japan from the list OF
countries which are content to continue
the silver standard, says the Omaha Bee.
The japanese government has decided
to adopt the gold standard, gradually
withdrawing the silver yen (about 70
cents in our money! rs gold is coined TO
take its place. This is not a l6 to
project, the proposed ratio being a frac
ton over 81 to Ia discrimination
against the white metal which Ameri-
can silverites must regard rs an outrage.
Some time ago commission appointed
by the japanese government made a
very thorough investigation of the cur
rency question and as We remember a
majority of the commission reported
, against Il change of standard. 1t would
seem that subsequent experience has
convinced the government that it is for
the general welfare that japan should
have a monetary standard in harmony
with the civilized world and particularly
with the great commercial nations with
which that country has trade and ex-
poets in future to enlarge its commerce
The fact doubtless is that japanese
manufacturers and merchants have
found that they arc at a disadvantage in
their dealings with gold standard coun-
tries and that in order to be on fair
terms Japan must fall into line, so far
as its monetary standard is concerned,
with those countries. At any rate, the
fact that Japan, with its much talked OF
prosperity under the silver standard, is
going to gold, is quite blow to the free
silver fallacy. But China and Mexico
are still in evidence for that cause.

Salvation For Ten Cents.

1t would seem to be the height of hy-
pocrisy and anything but the teachings
of Christ to turn man or woman from
the door Of a house of worship because
he or she didn't have piece of silver to
put into the contribution box. Yet this
very thing occurred at the barracks OF
the Salvation Army Oh Sunday evening.
