WHAT is PROSPERITY?

The stanton Spectator says that 1.-THE
Times will think that there is general
prosperity and so well leave it alone in
its glory"
SO do Prosperity is relative quanti-
" any way and largely a matter Of
thinking. One man with a thousand a
year will think that he is fairly rolling
in prosperity while another will think
that times are duh If his income is re-
duced from millions to hundreds Of
thousands.
Tho Russian peasants think that Amer
leans are the most prosperous people on
earth and that they live on the fat OF
the land. And that's a fact, but the
calamity shouters moaned ana grumbled
so long and 50 loudly, that thousands
Of people in this country who had all
the necessities and comforts of life
imagined that times were terrible be-
cause they couldn't revel In luxuries.
The calamity shouters have great deal
to answer for. Whether it is better to
arouse the people to dscontentment and
make them ungrateful and dissatisfied,
or to preach the gospel Of thanksgiving?
II The Times believes that the country
is prosperous, why should the Spectator
seek 10 disillusion us? Poor and con-
tent is rich and rich enough. But riches

ever fears he will be poor"

practical politics. We ara not seeking
after spells. We havo no political friends
10 reward nor enemies to punish. as the
saying goes. We are fighting for the
maintenance OF the great living, Demo
cratic principle. and we shall fight along
that line until tho conclusion without
reference to the whims Of party We
believe that the organization known as
the Democratic party will eventually re-
turn 10 its first principles, and we abide
IN that faith.
In this connection we print elsewhere
significant editorial article from the
Washington Post. which has always had
a tender regard for free silver. The Post
generally knows a live and popular issue
when st sees it, and its abandonment Of
free silver is TO be interpreted as one
OF the signs OF the times. But whether
the party shall return 10 its principles,
or go on to Populism. does not affect
the main question. The Democratic prin-
ei9le will still live. and The Times will
continue to proclaim it and uphold it,
leaving results to take care of them
