STILL IN THE AIR.

Democratic Continue to Fly the Kites Of
FREQ Trade and FREQ Silver.
Referring to the exhibit made by the
industrial census of the American
Protective Tariff League, the Topeka
Capital says:
"The American Economist. organ of
the American Protective Tariff League
and a very useful and sensible paper,
always teaching the country facts and
common sense, has made a valuable
census to show the change in condi-
lions since the '96 election"
After quoting the Economists sum-
mary Of census results the Capital
adds:
Such dry, terrestrial facts as these
act as a heavy tail on the metaphysi.
cal kite flying Of the free-traders
Their legs have never been fast enough
to keep the free-trade kite from be-
ing jagged and mutilated by the hard
facts along the highway Of human ex-
perience."
Nevertheless, the free-trade kite Is
still in the air; little wabbly and I'M.
certain in its flight, to be sure, but
still in the air. In proof whereof wit
ness the following from the Fort
Madison, Iowa, Democrat:
Protection has filed our country
with tramps, suicides, insanity; filled
our almshouses and prisons: has starv-
ed to a lingering death millions of our
men, women and children.
Next to the destruction of half the
natural money value Of all our real
estate and all the products Of labor, by
the decentralization of one of the
precious metals, the protection tariff
is the greatest curse of civilization"
II any difficulty is experienced In
understanding how two such diametri-
cally opposite views of the same SUBJ
ject can be entertained in the same
general section, 1t must be remember
ed that everything is possible in free
country. Still beyond that possibility
is the infinite scope and range of folly
inherent in the combination of free
trade and free silver. There is really
no limit to the capacity for unique
absurdity that resides in the brain
capable of cherishing both of these
doctrines at one and the same time.

carrying July up to S55sc. Then the
market turned weak. The continuance
of the very favorable weather west,
an important factor all week, made
its influence felt again. Prices began
to decline under realizing by many
of the early buyers. The demand from
shorts ceased almost together and very
little support was given until prices

This caused a quick halt in the de-
cline and started a buying movement

improved. The strength was contin-
