RepubIican Prosperity.

Referring to the prosperous con-
d;jtion of business in this country
"The Public" published in Chioa-
go, says; To attribute this tenn
porary "prosperity to the present
American administration is to
prove oneself either fraud OF
fool. Only fraud would set up
that explanation and only a fool
would believe in it. The same
charge from "hard times" to "pros-
perity" that we in this country are
experiencing has at the same time
taken place in England under the
tory administration of Salisbury,
in Germany under an emperor, in
Canada under the Democratic
Laurier, and in Australia under
administrations of various political
complexions. This swinging back
and forth of the business pendu-
lum rocks not of political parties
nor administrations. 1t is govern
ed by economic conditions to which
neither parties nor administrations
yet pay much attention. When
those conditions are ripe for the
c9ange prosperity" succeeds
hard times" and then gives way
10 them again, regardless of forms
of government or of political par
ties. These phenomena are no
more confined to nations than to
voting precincts. They are world
wide and the politician who sin
cerely claims that his party has
produced change from "hard
times" to "good times" in any coun-
try, when the same phenomena are
observable in all counties, writes
himself down an ass.

1t is now universally conceded
that next year Bryan will have the
New York delegation solid. Three
years ago he was met by dotermin-

He is the doughty champion of the

laboring man, and can we'll sue

1t keeps most republican papers
busy cackling about good times
for the laboring man" Let us see
if they have not gotten the fuz of
their fancy mixed with the plumes
of their logic. Prof. johnson, a
noted statistician of New York, by
an irrefutable array of facts and
figures. proves that the cost of liv-
ing in this country has advanced
forty per cent. in the last three
years Where is the average COM
mon laborer who three years ago
earned $1.OO day, who is now
earning $1.402 Where is the pro-
fessional man, who by doing the
same amount of business he did
three years ago, has supplanted an
annual gross income of $1,000
with $1,6OO2 If the cost of the
necessaries of life advance, wages
should increase commensurately,
else the laborer must live more alb
stemlously, since his expenditures
cannot be greater than his income.
a diastole in the price of all com
modoties must be counterbalanced
with either systole of expenses or
increase of earnings. All this talk
about the laboring man being smit-
ten with the lightning of prosper
ity, is the veriest moonshine.-
