a box had to suffice; and in the mat
ter of furniture a demand had sprung
up for a style and quality of articles
that put to shame the cheap stuff that
found a stinted market in the days OF
the Wilson tariff. All this mean more
demands upon American labor, more
employment, more wages, more money

ACHIEVEMENT AND FAILURE.
Results OF Republican and Democratic
Policies Contrasted.

We have had three years of McKin-
ley and Republican domination. Look
at the practical results. During the
free silver panic pending the election
of 1896 every man owning a hundred
dollars in currency, who could get into
the treasury, got there demanding its
substitution in gold, and the Republic
an leaders even predicted that McKin-
ley, if elected, would be compelled to
start out with a bond issue. But in
stead, confidence being restored even
before his Inauguration the gold flowed
back into the treasury in a steady
stream, just as it came back from its
hiding places in Europe to which it
had been driven by the phantom of
four-bit silver. Before the spring of
'9S had waned the money supply of the
country, resting upon a sound founda-
ton, in circulation, in the banks and
in the treasures, had reached the high
water mark of experience, and before
the autumn had waXed every preceding
record had been broken. This success

crease of our domestic and foreign
trade, and for the first time in many
years the balance of trade was regis
tered at a high figure in favor of this
country. Before January, 1899, more
than a million Of laborers driven into
the streets by the Democracy had been
restored to work at top-rate wages. At
the beginning of the last named veal
every furnace was ablaze, every mill
was pregnant, and every piece of ma
chinery was instinct with life. Yet the
record of 1898, surprising all others in
business achievements so far as to
stand out as a conspicuous landmark
in history, is dimmed and eclipsed by
the achievements of the year just
closed.
Wherein experiment has proved
Democratic policies a miserable failure
it has proved Republican policies an
unparalleled success. Then where lies
the path of patriotism and honor?-

Peter Foote, long since dead, used
to be a police Magistrate in Chicago.
Foote was intensely Irish and loved to
show it. One day a dudishly attired
young fellow calling himself Frederick
Edwards, and plainly b~etokening by
his speech that he hadn't been long
from the shores of England, was ar
raigned before the justice charged with
~lounging about the parks. When he
was arrested he showed fight and had
to be dragged into the patrol box.
"'E 'urted me feelin's badly, your wor-
ship" said the prisoner, when in the
dock the following morning. ''E 1t

pinched himself to look unconcerned

A Fine Fiscal Record,

The January record of receipts and
expenditures by the treasury depart
ment was an excellent one. Omitting
consideration of anticipatory payments
~liquidating the public debt by bond
purchases in advance of the maturity
of the bonds, the net excess of receipts
over expenditures for the month was
more than $4,000, 900. The record of
customs receipts was also an excellent
one, showing more than $40, 900, 900 of
receipts from this source. The receipts
from internal revenue were about s22.-
000, 900. 1t is a matter of surprise to
public officials that the expenditures
on account of the war department con-
tinue at such low figures, being less
than half what they were during the
Spanish war, Notwithstanding the
maintenance of large armies engaged
in active campaigns in the Philippines.
A year ago the monthly expenditures
exceeded the receipts by about 100000
900. AS evidence, however. that exist
ing tariff laws are not only proving eff
ficient as protective measures, but also
in bringing increased volumes of rev.
enue to the treasury, the receipts from

WAITIN FOR DEFEAT.
How the Democrats Hope to Get Rid
of Mr.. Bryan.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
which is not Republican, but is bitter
ly hostile to the Republican admins
t~ration, says:
The Bryan situation is strictly
unique. The less his prospects of cleo
ton the tighter grows his grip on the
nomination. For the first time in our
political history, a great party sits
worshipfully at the feet of a man INT
does little or nothing to oppose a lead
ership which few believe can result in
victory"
The foregoing is a fair statement OF
the situation by a paper which would
delight to support any candidate who
could make a half hopeful fight upon
an anti-expansion platform. But its
zeal for Aguinaldo and it's relentless
hostility to the Republican party do
not make the Springfield mugwump
oblivious to the facts which are obvi-
GUS to all except the blind followers of
Mr.. Bryan. There is but one explana-
ton for the general acquiescence of the
Democratic leaders in Mr.. Bryan's can
didacy. With the issue before the
country they have no hopes of success
next November. Whatever the plat
form may be Dr. whomsoever the can
dldate may be, President Mckinley,
who has generally satisfied the coun-
try and whose administration has been
attended by a marvellous prosperity,
will be reelected. This fact SENS to be
conceded by leading Democrats in
most the states. The anti-Bryan men
who are prominent Democrats realize
this fact, and, realizing it, they see a
sure way to get clear of Mr.. Bryan,
his silver and other heresies. They
may make a little show of opposition,
but they will acquiesce in Mr.. Bryan's
nomination. They do not ''sit wor-
s%hipfully at Mr.. Bryan's feet" as the
Massachusetts paper affirms, but they
are waiting patiently to see Mr.. Bryan
rejected as the party dictator by an
other defeat. When he is again de-
feated they believe the Democracy will
accept men of brains as LEADERSHIP

Need of New Adiectives.

One of the needs OF today seems to
be a new dictionary with a long and
varied list of terms applicable to the
unprecedented prosperity of the pres
ent. The newspapers seem to have
quite exhausted their vocabularies, even
sometimes in a single issue, in their
efforts to tell the story of the great
and wonderful prosperity which the
enactment of the Dingley Tariff law
has brought to the country. The head
ings of Good times in Ohio or
Good times in the South" or Good
times somewhere else, in common
with all the other brief statements
made to describe the industrial condi-
lions existing throughout the country,
are repeated e and over again until
the reader would grow tired of seeing
them, were it not for what they stand
Cor. In fact, all the words in present
use which are descriptive of prosper
u times are very much over-worked
almost as much over-worked as are
the mass of American laborers in the
present rush of business in the coun-
try.

A TRULY GREAT CHANGE,

Marked Improvement in the Grade OF
Cofins and Furniture Now Demanded.
Some queer facts regarding improved
business conditions are set forth by the
Canton Qll.) Register in the shape Of
an interview with a travelling man
who represents three factories, one that
manufactures collins, one that makes a
specially of tables, and another that
produces a general assortment of fur
niture. Said this commercial traV-
eler:
THE factories, though running night
and day, are away behind their orders.
Three of the largest houses on our GUS
tom list we have, for the present, quit
taking orders from, simply because we
can't fill them by the time desired.
This being true. it looks as though my
services as trade solicitor will have to
be dispensed with"
How do you account for this excess
sive demand?" was asked.
Prosperity; everybody at work;
good wages; plenty of money"
well, but amt collins as much in
demand in hard as we'll as in good
times?" interposed a Democrat.
Yes, and perhaps more SO, but in
such times those of inferior quality are
the most called for-the kind that can
be more rapidly thrown together. In
such times as we now nave the best
is required, and it takes longer to man
ufacture them"
What is your experience with ia
bies in good as compared with hard
times, or in Mckinley as compared
with Cleveland times?" was asked.
Now, that is something l would
sooner talk about than to talk about
collins. | will tell you. The many
who use store boxes and loose boards
for tables in the Cleveland times are
now, that they have plenty of work,
good wages and good money, wanting
good factory-made tables. And when
it comes to furniture in general it is
wonderful to note the increased de-
mand in these Mckinley times COM
pared with the demand in the Cleve-
Iand-Wilson tariff era. People who
could not afford s%ideDoards, rocking

The International Trust.

There is no tariff on automobiles.
But there is a so-called automobile
trust" with an authorized capital OF
SIS, 600, 900. This would suggest that a
Protective Tariff is not a sine qua
o for trusts. There is another inter-
esting fact in connection with the
automobile trust" 1t is that, accord
ing to report, the promoters of the
combination purpose to unite all the
important British and American auto
mobile concerns into one organization.
When a trust can be formed in respect
to a product on which no tariff is i'm
posed, and when, furthermore, that
trust contemplates the uniting of Brit
ish and American interests into one
company, it ought to be self-evident to
all but the wilfully blind that the trust
problem is utterly distinct from any
question of tariffs.

An hour later Edmond Hackett sat
a this desk in the department of the
Secretary of the Treasury. counting
and recounting a packet of 1~.O00-dollar
bills. They were old and frayed, rag
ged and discolored, and belonged to
the issues of long ago. They were only
half notes, moreoyer-the lower
halves; and each fragment of paper
had two big holes punched in it by a
blunt instrument, totally destroying
the signatures which had made 1t
money, and at the same time reducing
the half-note to the merest remnant.
One by one Edmond turned over
these morseis of dirty paper, count
ing them most carefully.
