"Inexcusable COwardice."

The men who style themselves "sil-
yer Republicans" have told the country
why they refused to vote on one side
or the other on the Dingley bill when
that measure passed the house. I'VE
took this course" said Representative
Hartman, of Montana. Ito prevent the
diversion of the great issue of current
politics from silver t. the tariff. Our
object was to emphasize the fact that
the tariff is not and can not be made
the main issue, and to give warning
that the silver people will not accept
the tariff as the paramount question
of the time" According to the same
authority another reason for the refusal
to vote was that the joint caucus of the
Populists of both branches of congress
and a private conference of the Teller
ties urged this inactiOn.
This is presumption and cowardice
of a particularly inexcusable character.
A handful of men arrogate to them
selves in their prejudice and blindness
the right to dictate to the great body
of congress what is and what is not
an issue. without having the courage or
capacity to reveal their position in a
manly and practical way.-St. Louis
GlObe-DemOcrat.

Business Revival.

The wholesale merchants of Kansas
City report that they received larger
and more numerous orders in the
month of March than they received in
any month of last year. In nearly every
branch of trade there is more activity,
with indications that things will grow
better from this time forward. Such
reports as these are the best evidence
that healthful revival of business is
at hand. Many retailers have not yet
experienced any substantial gain in
business, but their trade is less rapidly
affected by improved conditions. The
wholesalers first feel the effects of re-
stored confidence and the release of
boarded money. Such evidence as they
give refutes the taunts of those who
demand spectacular results. as if there
had been any promise that the new adj
ministratiOn would witness an imme-
date revival of all the interests that
flourished before the great depression.
The most hopeful change is that indi-
Gated by the gradual increase in the
volume Of trade. for that denotes natu-
raj and conservative enterprise. There
is nothing fictitious about the improve
ment in business conditions, whatever
the scope Of that improvement may be.
But when it is shown that in a single
state 100, 900 more men are employed
now than were employed before No
vember last, and when large dealers
make like comparisons between the
trade at this time and that before the
presidential election. the pessimists
and the sneerers should be silent

A payment of about 800, 600, 900 an
nually to foreign countries for q pro-
duct adapted to our own soil and eli
mate is plainly an industrial error
Within the last ten years attention has
been directed to this wasteful method
of conducting business. and signs are
multiplying that the proper remedies
will be applied. Last year every pound
OF wheat and -four exported was re-
quired to pay for the sugar imported.
Our exports Of cotton were only dou-
bic the value Of the sugar imported.
The value Of all exports Of live and
dressed beef. beef products and lard
just about balanced that of the sugar
bought abroad 1t is now known be-
yond question that the sugar beet can
be grown in many of our states and OF
a quality unsurpassed anywhere. The
genius of Americans in the use c; ma
chinery is an assurance that the sugar
beet factories will return good divi-
dends. What measure of protection
should be granted By the government
is subject to be considered with care.
Meantime, states and localities are dis
posed to encourage the new industry
with so many millions in it.-St. Louis

Trouble for Two.

Two classes Of people have failed to
prosper since the election of Mckinley.
One of these classes is composed of sill
yer advocates, the other the trusts. The
election of Mckinley and the rejection
of the free silver proposition started
similar action by some other nations
which had been looked to as support
ers of the silver theory, and the friends
of free coinage have witnessed with
dismay the transfer of Japan. Russia
and China to the gold standard col
umn. The trusts have also Jared as
badly. The railroad corporations,
the sugar trust. the standard oil trust
and many minor organizations of this
character have received stunning blows
within the few months since the cleo
ton Of 1896. and will suffer still more
when the new tariff law goes into ef-
feet and deprives them of the advan-
tages which they have enjoyed under
the Wilson law.

Factories and Protection sent,m.n,

Factories and Protection Sentiment.
The springing up of factories
throughout the south has been fol-
lowed by growth of protective serti-
ment and Republican membership in
congress from that section. More than
thirty votes from the south were cast
for protective tariff measure in the
house, and the southern states had
thirty-three Republican members in
last congress, while in no preceding
congress had the party been represent
ed by more than half that number from
that section. When Democrats from
North and South Carolina, Alabama.
Mississippi. Louisiana, and Texas join
with the Republicans in supporting
protective views and protective tariff
bill, there can remain no doubt of the
growth of Republican principles in that
section.

The human tenement is often haunted
to the grievous discomfort of its possessor
by those malignant spirits, constipation
and billiousness. But the abominable pair
may be speedily driven out with the petent
help of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This
genial Alternative, while it relieves the
bowels and regulates the liver, never, as a
drastic purgative does, produces violent
effects and weakens the intestines. On the
contrary, the action of the Bitters is pre-
cisely analogous to an effort of nature
seeking to resume her proper functions.
This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence
that it is better to use persuasive means,
so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce ma
