ave are suffering from an indiges-
tion of prosperity
No pathologist, surgeon or sena-
torial faith healer could have hit
the national nail more squarely on
the head.
Indication of the "indigestion of
prosperity" are visible everywhere.
No country in the world, from
Spitzbergen to Patagonia, can
digest prosperity without assImila,
ting its workIngmen. Labor, taken
heedlessly and without care as to
consequences, will never lie easily
on the stomach of monopoly.
There is where the trouble comes
in. The operations of prosperity
are too one-sided, and workingmen
are just beginning to find it out.
Hence the "lndigestion' referred to
by Mr.. Depew.
1t is fortunate that the affliction
is self,corrective. 1t is fortunate
that workingmen all over the Union,
constituting as they do nine tenths
of the bone and slnew ofthe nation,
operating as they do every mine
and mill, factory and farm in the
country, are taking the matter of
assimilation into their own hands.
They cannot be left out of
the question by monopolists with
out giving the national nag the
blind staggcrs. For every cent of
increased wages grudgingly accord
ed to workingme n by their employ
ers the prices of products have been
raised two cents. Thus our present
prosperity is like unto horse that
feeds on fine oats at one end and
kicks backward at its grooms with
the other.
Wise Mr.. Depew is right. The
pulse of national prosperity will
not become normal until the work
lngmen are properly considered

THE Washington correspondent
in the Missouri Democrat in speak.
ing of Senator Vest, in past says:
He is serving his last term in
the Senate, having refused to
succeed himself. With the passing
of Vest the Senate will lose its most
attractive orator. There is now no
man in that body who can compare
with him In felicltous expression.
His eulogy on Bland was the most
moving piece of eloquence the
present generation Of Washingto-
mans ever heard. There is q sob
of grief in every word of it as
spoken by Vest. The effort was
impromptu. When Senator Vest
had concluded, every man in the
press gallery was crying. The
scene, though simple, was the most
remarkable witnessed in the memo
ry of the Oldest correspondent here,
So, Missouri's Little Giant hasbcen
falling in health for two or three
years and is o very sick man, he is
still the greatest orator in Congress.

IF the republicans are sincere in
their professions of hostility to mo-
nopolies, why do they not apply the
SIMPLE but effective remedy once
proposed by John Sherman for a
large proportion of them-the repel

duty on every article controlled by
monopoly?
This can be done in bill of
