WIN Not n. Fooled Again.

The country is experiencing even
greater prosperity than 1t did the first
years Of the Mckinley tariff. and 1t is
evident that the Democracy will make
poorer showing In next years cam
paign than It did in 1896. There will
be absolutely nothing for 1t to stand
upon in Its appeals to workingmen.
Laboring men of all kinds are in de-
mand and wages are high and ad-
vancing. The country is being secured
for skilled help. and common every
day laborers are sought for without
the demand being supplied. The coke
regions want $4,000 men: every ship
yard is straining Its resources to keep
up with contracts: cars sufficient to
carry coal from the bituminous regions
cannot be obtained: the Iron compa-
nIes are rushed beyond all reason. and
shops OF all kinds and railroads are
crowded with business. Workingmen
were fooled in 1892 by a clamor for a
change. but they will not be In 1900.-

were content to have the United States
continue Indefinitely to be an agricul-
tural nation. Fifty years ago the sup
porters OF the Walker tariff were con-
tent to have the United States stand
still so far as manufacturing was con-
cerned, and to remain a practically
n-manufacturing nation. They were
beginning to argue along the line so
much In evidence during recent years
--viz., that of buying where you can
buy the cheapest" Had their policy
triumphed. we would still be indus

in doubt: business was at standstill.
no one engaged In new enterprise
(unless 1t was some charitable asso-
ciation in some OF the large cities
started a new soup house to feed the

safety and was afraid OF investment:
labor was thrown out Of employment.
and the industries OF the country were
idle or running on half time. Why all
this stngnation in business? What
made these hard times In 1887 There
was possibility OF electing Bryan and
changing the monetary system from
the gold to the silver standard. Not
bank would loan a dollar on ninety
days time one or two months before
the election. II made no difference
what the security was. Why? Be-
cause every bank knew that II the
change came It meant panic and

and that she worst panic that ever
swept over this country would follow
quickly the news Of Bryan's election.
and bankruptcy would be general.
Having passed through these Distress

change for the better on the announce

seen these banks open their doors
within a week after the election and
make extensive loans that they had

to see party clamoring for the same
