Why Conceal Their Joy.

With characteristic singieness OF
mind the Frec-Trade and Muswump
editors throughout the land refrain
from uttering shouts of JOY at the
February showing OF public revenues.
The fact that the Dingley tariff yields
a surplus OF nearly $4,000, 900 for that
month ought to produce delirious graft
fication in the breasts Of the gentle
men who have been SO solicitous about
deficits ever since July "a. 1897. but
somehow It doesn't seem to work that
way.

GREATER PROSPERITY
EVERYBODY IS NOW ENJOYING
THE BLESSING.
Aors Work. Vast Increase In Wages.
New Mills, New is.iiro.ds and General
Change for the Hetter-B~aufies of
the Protective Tariff.

Neither war scare" nor peace tall"
checks the progress OF trade. During
the nrst two weeks Of this month our
exports have been greater BY ls per
cent than In the corresponding weeks
OF last year: In the meantime our I'm
ports have Increased only by little
more than 5 per cent. The treasury re-
ceip,s have been atsthc rate of about
81 100000 q day. Europe has ~ Mt rs
s25.ooo.00o m gold, which is quite a
pleasant change from the days Of
CleveIands and Wilson's tariff, under
which We were draining ourselves OF
gold to send to Europe. The price Of
raw cotton has tended upward. while
that OF wheat has been high enough TO
afford a good profit TO the grower.
These two conditions insure prosperity
To the agricultural districts OF the
north and south.
Our iron products continue TO In
wade the markets OF Europe. Asia. Aus
tralia, and Africa. Contracts for steel
rails, bridge ircn. ship plates. for these
continents, have been made largely
during the past week. Our own local
trade Is good. The Illinois Steel com
pany's books are filed with orders.
The magnitude OF the business OF this
Arm may be inferred from the fact that
It paid nearly slo.o0o.o00 for freights
during 1897. One of the complaints or
the Municipal Voters league is that
about two years ago certain aldermen
gave this company franchise by
which 1t was enabled TO build a branch
line. or. properly speaking, long
switch line. that 1t might get Its cars
more cheaply en- the main tracks OF
the great trunk Lines. The hostility OF
Mr.. George l.. Cole to the extension or
trade la remarkable. In good times
the Illinois Steel company pays nearly
$4,000. 600 year in wages. nearly every
penny OF which Is spent in Chicago
John ". Harlan. George +. Cole. and
others regard this Institution as dan
gerous.' They are peculiar people.
Cramps shipyards will take $500
tons OF steel from Chicago. and 1000
tons are ordered from hall OF records
at New York. The bank cieaTanees OF
Chicago were greater by nearly i3 per
cent during the last four weeks than
in the like period OF the preceding
year. Railway earnings throughout
the country are about per cent larger
than during last year. The continuous
Improvement of trade Is as remarkable
as 1, is encouraging.
