Reaping Their Reward.

New mills are still going up as fast as
labor can erect them and capital equip
them. The Republic Iron and Steel
Company is building another new steel
mill ut Youngstown, Ohio, and is push
ing the work on it as rapidly as posi-
bic. 1t is hoped to have it in operation
at a tine not later than April 1. When
the Wilson law was before Congress,
the iron and steel workers Of Youngs-
town sent a delegation of their fellows
to Washington to protest against the
passage of any free trade law. They
failed then. But in 1885, as loyal sup
porters of Mckinley and protection,
they saw failure changed to victory.
Now they are reaping their reward.
May all success and good fortune at
tend them

Past Predictions and Present Condition
In the closing month of a dying year
and the opening month Of a newborn
year the newspapers are generally we'll
loaded with echoes of representations
Of all sorts and kinds. Some one pre-
dicted in 1896 the following:
A vote for Mckinley means more
tramps.
McKinley's election means:
Ten-cent corn.
twenty-five cent wheat.
Eight-cent oats.
One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter
Three cents a dozen for eggs.
Two-cent hogs.
One and one-half cents for fat cattle.
No money to carry on business.
49, The Hay Trade Journal now shows
how weak these forecasts were by set
ting forth the resent condition of the
country:
Tramps at work.
Forty-one-cent corn.
Eighty-cent wheat.
Thirty-five-cent oats.
Twenty-seven-cent butter.
Twenty-five-cent eggs.
-One-half-cent hogs.
d-onefourth-cent cattle.
Twenty-eight-cent wool.
Eighteen-dollar-per-ton hay.
Mills running overtime.
Wages advanced.
Bushels of money, good in any part Of
the world.-El Paso (Texas) Herald.

Because.

A commercial paper says: Travel
ing men are being received with open
arms everywhere There is no haggling
about prices or terms. All they have
to do is to show their goods, which
must be of better quality than hereto
fore, guarantee prompt delivery, and
they are sure Of liberal orders" In
spite Of the trusts, therefore, the trav-
cling men seem not to be left out of the
good times. Under the protective tar
iff, the business of the country is in
creasing at such a rapid rate that 1t
will be impossible for as many travel
ing men to be thrown out of employ
ment by the consolidation of different
industrial concerns as there will be
demand for because Of the establish
ment of new industries and because of
the growth and increased trade Of all
the business enterprises of the country.

Why Germany Worries.

why DeT"auy
With what reason Germany regards
unfavorably the tariff policy of the
United States may be gathered from
the fact that as compared with 1895,
when the Wilson free trade tariff was
in operation, our purchases Of German
cotton hosiery in 1893 fell off from $S,-
472, 800 to $4,45O,600; wooden goods,
from $7,O92, 400 in 1895 to 81, $4,000 In
1898; fine leather goods, from $780,
200 in 1889 to 5000, 400 in 1898; leather
gloves, from $4, 1885, 200 in 1889 to ST.
57O,SOO in 1898. These are samples Of
the heavy losses sustained by Ger
many's export trade by reason of the
effects of the right sort Of a tariff law
in promoting the larger use Of manu-
featured commodities made in the
United States. Against this state OF
things Americans have no argument to
offer. 1t is only foreigners and Amer
lean free-traders who worry about 1T.

Lerd Rosfbery has been coming To
| ehe assistance OF those Democrats who
have been bowling that the Mckinley
administrat ton has made an alliance
with England. Rosebery intimatcd In
. speech In Parliament that Premier
Salisbury had made overtures to the
United States and Germany q short
time ago In favor Of common action
time ago In favor Of common actinon
matters of foreign policy, but this has
been denied by officials of the State
Department. SO far as 1t concerns this
country.
Stories of this sort have often been
started on both sides Of the Atlantic.
They have appeared In Germany, too,
and In other countries OF continental
Europe. At the present time the infu-

United States. II the deductions of

Germany, France. England, Austria,
Italy, China, Japan and very nearly
every other country In the world OF
any consequence, for the influence OF
this country with all those nations
has increased UNNECESSARILY since the
present administration came into exist
ence.
The folly of these alliance tales be-
comes evident when they are submitted
to this test. There Is an even more
infallible test to which they can be sub
jected. An alliance that would amount
to anything would have to be submit

pact with foreign power. An agree

What 1t Means.
A most impressive illustration of the
true character of the prosperity of this
countryis furnished in the annual state
ment of one of the leading life insur-
ance companies. In the report of this
company, which makes speciality of
industrial insurance-that Is, the in
surance of workingmen and their wives
and families on the plan Of small
monthly payments-it appears that dur
ing 1890 the company wrote a total of
about 5000. 100000 of new business,
which was by many millions of dollars
the largest increase In its history, and
was larger increase than that shown
by any other life insurance company in
the world.
Consider for a moment the signifi-
canoe of this showing. The increase in
new insurance of close upon 1923 ,OOO,-
600 In 1899 came almost entirely from
wage earners. 1t means that during
1899 money was more plentiful than 1t
had been for many years among those
who work for wages; that 1899 will
long be remembered as a year of sue
cess and prosperity, after conditions
causing for time great uncertainty In
the financial world; that during this
banner year Of Dingley tariff and Nc
Kinley prosperity factories and mills
opened their doors to give employment
to millions Of idle hands, and gladness
found its way into the hearts and
money into the pockets Of the people.
That is what it means.

The constitutionality of the barber IL
cense law which was passed by the last
Legislature is upheld by Attorney Gen

barber, refused to submit to an examina-
ton for license because he had not been
working at his trade in the State two
years and carried the matter to the SUI
preme Court. Mr.. Orcn filed an opinion
that the right TO engage in business is
not vested right and is subject to regu-
lation by the Legislative and the police

There were 2,636 deaths returned to
the Department of State for the month
of January. This corresponds to a death
rate of 1870. This is slightly higher than
the rate for the preceding month, which
was 1913, but much lower than the rate
for January, 1899, which was 1872. As
compared with the preceding month there
is very little change in the mortality from
any cause of death reported, except from
pneumonia, ccrebro spinal meningitis and
influenza, each of which showed a con-
siderable increase.
