STREET RAILWAYS
INDICATE PROSPERITY.
Their Business Has Increased Tairty-
four Per Cent Since 1894.

The street railways of America now
represent the enormous investment in
bonds and stocks of 1,S00, 900 900, upon
which investors are receiving annually
over $70,000,000 in dividends and inter
est. Salaries and wages amounting to
$3.50, 100000 year are distributed
among 100000 employees necessary to
equip, operate and manage this great in
dustry, repair its 10000 miles of track,
handle its 10000 cars, and meet the ever
pressing demands for Improvement.
Directly and indirectly over 100000
persons depend upon the traction inter
ests Of America for their livelihood. An
industry Of such proportions penetrates
and more or less affects all other enter
prises in the country which sustains it.
Nine-tenths of the business men and
women of the United States look to the
management of street railway companies
to furnish them with swift, comfortable
and safe transportation to and from BUSH
ness. The business OF these companies
has increased 80 per cent since 1894,
when the people could not afford to ride
as much as they do now.

70 YOU WANT IT?

Remember the panic. the depres-
sion, the idleness and want Of
1896. That was the result of
change of policy in only one great
factor of our rational welfare.
The election Of Bryan would
mean a return to all the causes
which led to that panic. 1t would
also add to them two other equally
potent causes for panic-a change
Of currency and change in our
foreign policy.
Do You want a panic in 1904
far worse than that of 1896?
DO You want idleness and star
walton and millions subsisting on
charity just as they did in 1898?
If so. vote for Bryan and you

DO YOU WANT IT.?

In 1892 this country was more
prosperous than ever before. EN-
ployment was more general and
wages higher than they had ever
been.
The people. misled by the asser-
tons of the Democratic office-seek-
ers, tried the experiment of chang
ing the policy of the government
on the tariff question.
What was the result?
On the very day following the
election business began to decline,
dealers cancelled their contracts
for home manufactures, factories
reduced their working forces and
curtailed their orders for the pro-
duct of the mine, the forest and
de field, and uncertainty took the
lace of confidence in the business
world.
What followed?
Every workingman, every en-
ploye and every farmer whose
market was thus curtailed remem-
bers. There was panic. depres-
sion, gloom, enforced idleness and
want.
All this was the result of a
change in our tariff policy which
affected the great manufacturing
interests and which threatened la
Dor.
Bryan now threatens to lower
the tariff and take away protection
from labor.
Do you want 1t? If so, vote for
Bryan and you will get it.

PIG IRON PRODUCTION
Az A PRB0f OF PROSPERITY,
More than Twice as Much Made Last
Year as in 1894

Pig iron production is one of the most
accurate indices OF the general business
conditions Of the country. When business
is good, when wage earners are en-
ployed steadily, when farmers receive
ample remuneration for their crops, then
the production OF iron advances. A period
OF depression is always accompanied by
sag in the production of iron. The
following table shows the production in
1899 and 1894. as illustrating the bust
ness conditions under two administra-
tons:

GENERAL. LORD ROBERTS

From the Indianapolis News.
 The pathetic side of the relation of Gen. eral Lord Roberts to the campaign on which he has just embarked Is that he has little or nothing to gain and everything to lose. He stands at the present time in the very front rank of living generals. Doubt less his reputation would be considerably enhanced by a brilliant success in the South African war. But failure would lose him more fame than triumph would bring him. However, a man like Roberts does not go on such an expedition for the sake of winning fame. He goes because it is his duty to go-because he has been sent And, whatever fate he may meet with, he will go into history man who has greatly served his country and has done much to extend the boundaries of the em- pire of civilization.

The Gadsden Tribune, a court organ of average zeal, solemnly says:
 A lot of kid glove. silk hat gentry, mem bers of the alumni association of the State University and followers of Senator Mor- gan, who would not know a coal mine from a mud hole in a cornfeld if they met 1t in the road, met last week and whereased and resoIuted that the sale of the univer- sity lands was contrary to the harmony, peace, good order and free tuition for the sons of the wealthy men of this state, or words to that effect. Politics Is getting to be very interesting in this state
 This is fair example of the level upon which the anti-Morgan campaign Is at pres ent conducted. As the tendency of such demagogio campaigns is to lower and still lower levels, 1t is easy to see that gen. eral appeal to ignorance and prejudice is before the people of this state. The entire antiMorgan campaign, thus far dis closed, is muddle of demagogy, misrep- resentaton and traduction of all that is elevsting, wholesome and uplifting.
 To assume that such a campaign can be successfully conducted in this state is to assume that Alabama stands below her sister states, and this we decline to be- lieve. We have faith that the intelligence and integrity of the state is fully equal to the occasion, and the low appeals to turned down.

Increasing the Regular Army.

General Corbin and the war department perhaps we should now say the war de- partment and General Corbin-have sue ceeded in raising the United States army to 100000 men, the most of whom are in the Philippines. About 11,OOO are in Cuba, and 5000 in Porto Rico. There are per- haps 10000 on the mainland.
 But now that we have an army of 1OO,- OoO strong the anxiety in a special class is not so much as to its condition as 1t is to it's permanent retension. Although the present force was mustered in for two years, lasting well through the year 1901, yet the influences that demand a largo standing army are moving in the present session of congress for authority to make the number now in the service permanent.
 This effort should be sternly met by every patriot in congress. No democrat who represents his constituents can sup port such a bill. The democratic party is pledged to oppose large standing army, and any attempt to increase the regular army should be sternly and uncompromis- ingly opposed. If more men are needed in the artillery armnof the service let men be transferred fir am other branches. Let no excuse avail that makes for an ine.eAse of the standing sr-ssss4 This win certainly be an issue in the coming campaign, especi- ally if the bill for an increase be pressed at this session, and that is said to be the present intention of the republican mana ,~ers. Behind those managers stand the plutocrats who furnish heavy campaign subscriptions, and their wishes are gener- lily respected.

THE NEW YEAR

 Samuel L. Robertson. The New Year is coming-its visions of glory Are rosy with promise of happier days: Be hushed all the strains of our old sorrow story, Awake now the numbers of good cheer and praise Tomorrow is glded With excellent beautv Tomorrow is fragrant with blossofning But the legend that's writ on her banner Ia Duty" To mark it and study its meaning is Own" The New Year is coming-away with re- pining! The clouds are uplifting and vanishing far; Above her the rainbow of promise is shin- ing, And the joys of fruition are heaped in her car; But don your equipments for struggle and trial If ye hope to be blessed with a share of her stores; For labor and patience and ssefn self-denial. These only have keys that can open her doors. The New Year is coming-away with your sadness; Away with the shadows that darken your lot, Let faith and expectancy fill you with glad ness, And waken the muse of the mansion and cot, For music and merriment are the phy- sicians, Who only gain entrance to life's inmost shrine; And angels themselves seem to forward their missions, Commenting their magic as all but divine. Now the old year is hiding her face in the gloaming, Is sinking-is fading-is passing away; But the New Year Is coming-the New Year is coming The New Year is coming--all hail to the day!

State Superintendent Abercrombie is chairman of the board and has two colleagues, appointed by himself. Tine legislature also increased the direct appropriation by $1OoOOO and levied a tax of b cents per hundred for school purposes. It is estimated that the increase thus ob- tained will lengthen the public school ses- sions in the country from one to two months Governor Johnston and the press of the state are cooperating with Super intendent Abercrombie in building up in- terest in the public school system. Ger tain counties have uniform text book laws and the question of making a general uni formity law is being discussed by both the politicians and profession. The state pnain- tains a polytechnic institute at Auburn, a girls industrial school at Montevsllo and seven normal schools, four for white and three for colored teachers, all of which are doing good work and have large attend ance There is also an increased interest in the state university, which is recognized as the head of the state school system.

 principles by which practically all the com meroial progress of the world has been achieved finds its most brilliant vindication in the success of this man, who seems to have known nothing of speculation, who had no faith in corners and for whom the suppression of competition and the restric- tion of production possessed little attrac- tion, but who devoted himself with all of his might, and with a genius as superior to ordinary ability as the genius of great artist or commander or poet is, to making a staple article better and cheaper than anyone else could make it, and in pushing his sales further than. any of his rivals pushed theirs.

From the New York Press.
 The day before woman goes to stay all night with another woman she scratches out the number on her shoes.
 A woman's mouth, when it is in repose, shows her character; when it isn't it is generally showing some other woman's.
 A woman begins to enjoy her Christmas presents about New Years. She spends the time in between wondering what they cost.
 If everybody really felt as nice and kind to everybody they meet on Christmas as they pretend to there wouldn't be any use in having any Christmas.
 A woman never feels really intimate with another woman until she has slept with her and they have told each other how nice they think each others husband is till it's most morning. .&

 Andrew Carnegie, during the year 1899 gave $5,OOO,0O0 to libraries, educational and charitable institutions. MT. Carnegie has also increased the wages of his men twice, making an aggregate of 100000 more, but this is matter of business which he keeps entirely separate from his private ac- counts. It will be remembered that the World printed sometime ago Mr. Carne- gdes sentiment that to die rich is to die disgraced. His estimated entire income for the year has been given away.
