M'KINLEY AND M'LAURIN.

McLaurin closed his Fourth of July
speech with praise of Mckinley and said:
1--WE had President in the White House
VINO was not afraid to trust ex-Confed-
crates" Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur
and Harrison all appointed Southern men
to office, but altogether they did not APP
point one fiftieth as many Confederate
soldiers to office as Grover Cleveland
And Senator McLaurin wanted to give
South Cardinals vote to Weaver in 1892
instead of Cleveland. And, except in the
military service and commissions incident
to it where he could not decently help
it, Mckinley has appointed very few, if
any, Confederates to office.
Let's give Mr.. Mckinley credit for hav-
ing gracefully and periodically recognized
Lee, Wheeler and other brave ex-Confed-
crates in the war with Spain, but there
is no call in doing that to "slop over or
to become Republicans. Mr. Mckinley is
a sincere Republican and does not preach
Republican doctrines and pose as DEM
ocrat. Therein he is immeasureably bet
ter than McLaurin. The South's motto is
"No sailing under false colors.'

MR.. WIDENER Is RIGHT.

Mr.. p. A. B. ,Widener, a trust magnate,
makes the assertion that the present
prosperity of this country is largely due
to the Spanish war. There is no doubt
that it is due almost altogether to three
causes: l. The Spanish war; 2. The dis
coveries of much gold; 3. The large crops.
The first cause put up the price of the
crops and is therefore, as Mr.. Widener
says, the first cause of the revival OF
business that followed the panic of 1857.
The business conditions were worse after
Mr. Mckinley's Inauguration than before.
and there never was any Improvement
until the immense orders for war supplies
of all sorts put every factory to work
and sent up the price of all products that
feed man and beast.
Mr.. Widener is right. The need now
is for larger territory, expansion of trade,
to prevent falling back. There is but
one sure and permanent way and that
is break down the tariff walls and trade
with the whole world, buying from them
and selling to them.
