The Country Stands Fast.

The Inter Ocean: 1t was expected
that the decision IL the Northern Sc
curities ease would be used To create
II furry OH Wall street. 1t was taxi
en- for granted that the trust mag
mates, hostile to any legislation cor
receive of trust abuses, would do
their utmost to create the impression
that the victory of the government
in the Northern Securities case would
necessarily unsettle business.
There has been II furry in the
stock market, but the disturbing in
tluenee has extended no further.
There is no depression inauy branch
ildence among bankers or capitalists.
There is no feeling of distrust among
the people. There are none of the
usual indications Of unsettled bust
ness. The country stands fast. Why?
There is promise, almost certainty,
of abundant wheat and corn crop.
Our manufacturers have more orders
than they can fiji. All the workers
who care to be employed have en-
ploymeut. The purchasing power
of the people was never greater, and
the sales of merchants were never
heavier.
The railways--local lines as well
as the trunk lines-still have more
freight than they can handle. From
all great railway companies there is
IA demand upon the manufacturers
for locomotives and freight cars, and
the manufactures are running over
time to supply the demands,
Our iron and steel mills are run
ming to their full capacity. And yet
the output, ro-enforced by heavier
imports than in any previous year
is not equal to the demand,
The balance of trade which seemed
turning against Us last fall has turn
ed again heavily in oar favor. Tn,
exports for March aggregate $4,000
GOO and an increase over exports o

the corresponding nine months o

ance of trade in our favor will b,

These conditions account for the
merely temporary effect Of the furry
in the stock market. The country
stands fast because business men anC

Let Well Enough Alone.

Evening Wisconsin;
There is an old story Of a man af-
hieted with insomnia and IA strenu-
Gus nurse. The nurse was entrusted
with the responsibility of admins
tering pills which were prescribed
for the purpose of quoting the pa
tient so that he coold procure much
needed rest. The doctor, who felt
that the case was critical, came back
to see how matters were progressing,
and was terrified to find the nurse
shaking the sick man and bawling in
his ear.
"What are you about?" yelled the
doctor: "Do you want to kill him?"
"Why sure" replied the conscien-
tious attendant, 81 am only after
thryin' to wake him up to get him to
take wan NV the pills to make him
Shape"
Was the conduct Of the attendant
assured? No more 50 than that of
the tarIt thinkers VINO want 10 get III
their work on Uncle Sam. Not so
much so, indeed, for the free trade
nostrum that they would lave him
take has never done him any good,
aud has often done him harm. He is
in the midst Of a career of industrial
prosperity uneXampled in history.
The tariff thinkers are bawling them
selves hoarse to get them to take
their free trade prosperity pills
They are like the nurse in their ca
gerness to force the dope upon the
patient. They are like the nurse in
that the dope they desire to admin
lister is the prescription OF quackery
instead of emanating from the regu-
lar school of medicine.

The Waushara Argus has been
placing the seat Of the state univer-
sity under the scrutiny of its hundred
eyes, and reports as follows:
Newspaper reports would indicate
that Wisconsin's capital city, her
great university, or both, are in need
of an overhauling. This being house
cleaning season, woul be IA very APP
propriate time to do the work. A
committee of four professors Of the
university aud one associate Justice
Of the supreme court visited the
Common Council and demanded
that the authorities enforce the laws
against gambling and the saloon
closing ordinance, saying the city
was loosely governed. Mayor Groves
replied by declaring that the univer-
sity students were more lawless than
ever before and that the professors
exercised no supervision over their
charges, but blamed the city, and
there you are. The probability is
that an Investigation by an impartial
committe would show some truth on
both sides, At any rate there seems
to be great need for reform at Mad
isoun
And the evening Wisconsin says
that Madison wants to run with the
hare and hunt with the hounds but
she can't. 1t is impossible for her
to maintain the reputation of a
"wide-openn town and retain the
confidence of the parents of young
people in persuit of n higher educa-
ton. BY the way, how much better
it would be for Madison to build up
her summer resort possibilities than
to try 20 train in the class Of wide
opeu" towns.

LABOR LEADERS
FEAR AN INQUIRY
Continued from First Page.)

control of the joint committee on print |
ing. and that control will never be re-
linquished.
What is really feared is the intro
duction of labor-saving machinery. and
the consequent displacement OF many of
the finest mechanics in the country
While there are many who would not re-
gard this as an unmixed evil. yet even
the advocates of machinery deplore the
wholesale introduction thereof and the
upheaval that would ensue. The only
effect OF the introduction of typesetting
machines, for instance, would be to
cheaper the appearance of what is now
the finest printing produced, but not
the cost This because of the nature of
the work. which is largely of the sort
that can be handled as cheaply by hand
compositors as by machine men. But a
new set of men would be called for. and
those displaced could not take the places
of those who displace them because they
have no knowledge OF the machines.
Another disturbing factor is the
strong probability that the civil service
blanket will be removed as quick cure
of the disease, and this is also deplored
by thinking trades unionists because of
the continual discharge of good men and
good mechanics for political reasons
solely.
Many look upon this as the best po-
litical solution of a problem which
should never have been offered for solu-
ton. These are convinced that an opin-
, ion has been rendered, but not promul-
gated, by some time Attorney General
which set forth that the order OF Presi-
dent Cleveland placing the office in the
classified list was Illegal, and therefore
null and void
Another thing not relished is the
probability-the strong probability-of
a Congressional investigation of the Of
/ fee. in the course of which II would be
made to appear that the cost of Govern
ment work was excessive-a notorious
4 fact. but one not due to the trades
1nionists or TO administration of the
office. but rather to the methods en-
/ ployed in the various Offices OF chang
/ ing and changing nearly every line or
copy which comes into the of1ce after IL
has been put in type.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2S.-For time at

Industrial enterprises The unfavor-
able sentiment has spread over the
country TO such an extent that the in
trinsic value of stocks does not seem
TO be considered, but rather the proba-

course. 1t is this lack of confidence that
curtails the buying power and keeps
outsiders as we'll as operators them
selves out OF the market.
A conspicuous feature of today's mar

former declines. Like a streak of sun
