Every day seems t. make matters worse
fol the calamityites who are proposing to
pooi their issues in the coming Congress
sional campaign. First, wheat went up.
then tie mills opened, and their opening
was followed by an advance in farm prod
ucts, then wages increased, and now the
Dingiey law is bringing in money enough
to meet the running expenses of the Gov
eminent and getting ready to create a sur
plus. This is all very hard on the people
who have insisted that prices could not
advance without the free coinage of silver.
that protective tariff would not start M
the mills or increase wages or employ
ment, and that the Dingley law would
not produce sufficient revenue to meet the
expenses of the Government. 1t is un-
fortunate for them that all this should
have happened before election, but ex-
tremely lucky for the people, who will
thus escape being misled by a renewal of
the false assertions which these croakers
made in 1896, and have reiterated at every
opportunity since that time.

The example which the farmers Of
this country have set in utilizing their
surplus money in paying off debts is be-
ing followed, perhaps involuntarily, by the
great enterprises whose securities were
largely held abroad. The enormous trade
balances in our favor of the past year are
being largely settled by the return of
American securities for payment instead
of sending gold to settle the balance as
has been formerly the custom. This
change on the part of European money
lenders is believed to be due to the con-
slant agitation Of the silver leaders and
the feaI which this agitation creates lest
they obtain control and through injudi-
cious legislation reduce the value of Amer
can securities generally.

Recently published statistics relating to
the cotton manufactures of the South
show that the number of mills has in
creased from 1870 in 1880 to 400 in 1898,
the number of looms from IA, 600 in 1880
to l15, 900 N 1898, the number of spindles
from 667, 900 in 1880 to 4, 100, 600 in 1895,
and the capital employed from 81, 900, :
900 in 1880 to s125, 600, 900 in 1898. Con-
sidefing at this phenomenal growth of
nearly TOO per cent. has happened, prac-
ticaiiy all of it, under protective tariff,
and that the prosperous condition of the
mill of that section to- day is enjoyed
under the same law which applies in New
England it is difficult for the low tariff
orators to make political capital out Of the
fact that the New England mill owners
have found it necessary to reduce wages
because Of southern competition.

Plain cloth is in the ascendency for street
costumes, as bIaiding has finally taken
strong hold upon popular favor, and
smooth surface is the field Of display. A
circular Honnce, plain at the top but har-
ing toward the lower side, has appeared
and is always headed and edged by braid
ing or some other trimming. Oftentimes
circular tlounce is used only at the front,
and then carried up to the back, forming
a deep apron front, the seam concealed by
trimming, and this fancy is apparent in
ruffied, black taffeta silk skirts, where few
or many may be used; always dropping at
the front and rising high at the back.
