that reference however polite and kindly gals

change for the better ever known i'm American
history followed the nomination and election in
1896. and the President IS entirely justified in
maintaining that the National policy which he
represents was in grcat part the cause Of that
change
Democrats used to say last year that tho ex-
traordinary prosperity Of the country was due 10
great crops and great foreign demand for them.
But this year the country has even greater pros
perity. with official reports showing a rcmarka-
BILE decrease in the principal crops If the De-
partment is right losses on wheat and cotton
and many other crops by frost and flood and
prolonged drouth have reached the magnitude Of
National disaster and yet the business Of the
its sense of confidence and prosperity is kecner
than one year or two years ago when crop con-
ditions were peculiarly favorable. Nor Is the
prevalent feeling mistaken. Records Of COM
merce and industry which 1t is not possible TO
dispute show that the gain over Inst year in
business done or hands employed has been
greater than the gain Of last year over 1897 or
1896 For example the volume Of all business
transacted through clearing houses In nine
months Of 1896 was S37,3sS.O00O0O, and
$40 1853 600 OCO in 1891 and S49152 100000 in
1898. and SG9,4O1 100000 In 1899. that for
every 500 paid IN 1890 there was paid Sos in
1897 and S131 In 1895 and S1SG In 1899
THIS is not change which has come, as some
demagogues were wont TO say, by the act OF
cod. by astonishing harvosts. together with
famine elsewhere The shipments ~ wheat
and corn and cotton have been about as large

cause he is not permitted to escape his responSl-
hility as party leader for refusing 10 clear him
self OF charges which are 4 stumbling block IN

ing" doesn't express his situation. The case Is
more like that Of an agonzed bull believing. or
Ike the wallowing Of a stuck boar He has set
his errand boy Quigg to composing abuse Of
The Tribune and its Editor with an industry
and sustained energy which might possibly be
as usefnllv employed nj his official duties as in
promoting Mr. Plat's personal comfort in the
capacity Of n verbal safety valve. Not that We
object TO his rhetoric but It would seem as II
even Mr.. Platt might be better served than by
repeatedly calling attention to his unwillingness
10 defend his refusal to testify before the Mazet
Committee What impression must Mr. Plat
make on the public when he confcsses that he
has no resource but vituperation Of those who
advise him to vindicate himself from the charges
which unrefutcd make wet powder Of the best
Republican campaign ammunltonf Has he
nothing to say for himself? Doesn't he dare
even 10 mention Ramapo? Can't he even plead
that he ia uniustly accused? Can't he give some
Kind Of an excuse for his silence or is he forced
TO rave about The Tribune in hope OF divertng
calling The Tribune names simply leads honest
members OF the party 10 believe that he has no
defence to offer md can therefore only abuse
the plaintiffs attorney?
OF course his buster that we are working for
a Democratic Assembly OF seeking in any way
the harm Of the Republican party, is utterly
false and without the slightest foundation.
What we have been trying 10 do is to induce Mr..

and those Of the organization from the charges
that they have been using the Assembly TO pro-
mote family Jobs and schemes for the enrich
ment Of their associates contrary TO the inter

nifty. While the testimony before the Mazet

remains unrefuted or unexplained, whatever
danger there is OF a Republican reverse rests at
the doors Of Mr Patt, General Tracy. Mr.
