Leading silver Republicans of
Idaho are refusing to cooperate
longer with the Democrats and
Populists and are preparing to re-
turn to Republican ranks. Secre-
tary of State Patrie, who was
elected as silver Republican in
fusion with Democrats, has written
letter to leading silver Republi-
cans of the State, saying: 'I do
not see that up to date anything
has been accomplished by the coali-
ton of the silver Republicans with
the Democracy except the upbuild-
ing of the Democratic party and
the destruction of the Republican
party in the States in which silver
Republicans were strong" and
adds that "it would be impossible
for me to identy myself with the
Democracy and become Demo
crat."

No better evidence of prosperity
can be found than the rapidly in
creasing demand for freight carriers
on the railroads and lakes. Grain,
coal, lumber and iron men are
complaining bitterly that they can
not get cars and steamships to
move their freights, despite the
fact that every nerve is being
strained by manufacturers to in
crease the supply of vehicles for
transportation. Car shortages are
reported by the large companies at
from l 800 to s, 900 cars and already
the iron producers of the North
west have chartered vessels for next
seasons service, thus insuring a
a greater amount of iron ore than
ever before known. The Ameri-
can Car and Factory Company,
which is manufacturing steel freight
cars, has recently taken orders for
over 100000 worth of new
cars.

A Pleasant Picture.

The inevitable has happened.
There is such a condition. of pros
perity and material growth as the
mind of man never imagined and a
sense of stability and confidence
the like of which was never before
known. The defeats and disasters
of peace under Cleveland have been
exchanged for the victories of war
and the triumphs of common sense
under Mckinley, whose admins
trasion has had two foreign wars to
carry to a successful and honorable
end, and yet at this stage of its
course reduces the national debt
by twenty-five millions of dollars!
The Secretary of the Treasury's
announcement yesterday that he
desired to buy in Government
bonds to that amount is pregnant
with instruction for all.
When Mr.. Cleveland went to
Washington to enter upon his
second term as President the
industries of country had also
been wrought to a pitch of
unusual prosperity. The ac-
counts in the great commercial
and manufacturing centres had
been made up at the end of the
year and they were most satisfac-
tory. In New England especially,
the volume of business was un-
precedented, the scale of wages the
highest that had been known and
the returns upon capital well dis
tributed and remunerative.-
Throughout the West a like condi-
ton had been enjoyed and every
material foundation of business
was sound. Still there was a chill
upon the air. The wheels con-
tinued to revolve but it was of
their own momentum. Doubt, and
then apprehension, the worst ene-
mics of enterprise, had taken the
place of confidence and tranquility.
Had the hordes of the Huns been
let forth upon the internal COM
merce of the country they could
hardly have made worse wreck
than Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton made. He turned every busi-
ness upside down. His tariff lucu-
brations paralyzed every mill from
ocean to ocean, and after shock
had succeeded shock and enterprise
was numb and seemingly forever
dead, he went out of the
Office leaving the Government
some two hundred millions of
dollars more in debt than it was
when he went in. He had sold
bonds for money to pay the federal
expenses.
Mr.. McKinley's administration
adjusted the tariff to the end that
mistrust might be allayed. 1t has
not meddled needlessly with the
money question. 1t has avoided
every subject that could disturb
the repose of business. What has
been the result? Confidence has
been restored. Enterprise has been
re-awakened. Capital has not had
to look to Washington to make
sure that the application of a theory
would not wreck it as soon as it
was invested, and every man has
felt himself secure in the expendi-
ture of energy and money.-N. Y.

Democratic managers who are
looking for a running" mate for
Col. Bryan, would perhaps do well
to select Gen. Aguinaldo. That

The new year is likely to see the
money in circulation in the United
States close to the 50, 200, 900, 600
mark. The figures on November
l were S1,963, ZIG, 14S. Add to
this the $25, 900 put into Cir
culation through the redeeming of
outstanding bonds by the Treasury
Department, and the constant in
crease in the country's circulation
as registered from month to month,
and it seems likely that Mr.. Bryan
will soon be confronted with d Cir
culation of $4,000, 100000, not
withstanding his continuous per-

Those Democratic campaign ora
tors who are dusting up their tariff
speeches of 1896, for use in 1900,
will find it necessary to change the
lines in which they asserted that a
protective tariff hinders foreign
trade. The latest statistics of our
export trade show that the exporta-
ton of manufactures in the ten
months ending with October
amounted to S311, $685. against
$253, III, 900 in the corresponding
months of last year, indicating that
the export of manufactures for the
full year will be nearly $40, 900, 900
in excess of those of last year. For
the ten months of the year they
have averaged considerably more
than S1,OO0,00O a day and in
October they were nearly $34, ,OOO,-
600.

An indication as to whether the
industries really thrive best under
a protective or non protective tariff
may be found in the Treasury
figures for the month of October,
1899, compared with those of
October, 1896. Under the Dingley
protective tariff law in 1899, the
importation of articles in their
crude condition for use in manu-
featuring amounted to S23, ,343, ,6S3,
against s11, ,3OO,25S, in Oct. 1896,
under the low tariff law framed
especially to give free importation
to goods for the use of manufac-
turers. Manufacturers have no
use for raw material, whether
duty-free orotherwise, unless they
can find a marke tfor their manu-
features.
