Senator Fleming Therefore Refuses
to Discuss Fort Wayne Election.

When Senator 8. b. Fleming. of Fort
Wayne, poses as a political prophet and
falls down he does not bob up with an ex-
PLANTATION OF how II all happened. About two
weeks ago the senator was in the city and
in speaking OF the then approaching NUM-
cipal election in Fort Wayne he predicted
confidently that the Democrats would elect
eighteen OF the twenty counc!lmen and had
more than fair chance OF electing the
other two.
The election returns showed that the Re-
publicans had elected fourteen OF the
councilmen and had carried everything
else in sight Senator Fleming was al
the Grand last night He was asked 10
explain why his prophecy had gone awry.
and he replied with decision and spiri,
that indicated that the topic was not the
most pleasant TO him:
II have nothing at all to say on that
subject-not word. / have not been In
Fort Wayne for several days..

1902, RECORD BREAKER.
Extraordinary Showing of Prosperity
for the Year Just Closed.


With this, our last number of the
year 1902, we would briefly call at
tention to the years record of un
paralleled progress and prosperity. In
spite of the great coal strike, the
result of which is still serious, we
have passed through a year of bust
ness activity, of commercial expan.
sion, of trade movements and both
individual and national success in
production and earnings and conse-
quent enjoyment of the necessaries
and comforts and luxuries of life, such
as was never before known.
Our almost record breaking crops
will all be marketed at good prices.
Our iron and steel production has
been the largest in our history, our
pig iron output reaching 100000
tons, almost three times that OF 1894.
Our railway earnings have surpass-
ed all previous years. Our bank
clearings have again broken the rec
ord
Our postal, insurance, telegraph and
telephone business have been larger
than ever before.
Our imports for the first time in our
history will approximate S1,0O0,000,-
0O0, while our exports, though not
quite equal to one or two preceding
years, owing to the failure of last
years corn crop and the extraordi-
nary home demand for manufactures,
are yet most satisfactory.
We have earned more, lived bet
ter and saved more than ever. before
in our history.
1t has been the merriest Christmas
and will be the happiest New Year
that was ever enjoyed by any people
on earth.
Not all are quite happy, for the mil
lennium has not yet come. The hand
full of ants are discouraged and dis
heartened. while the tariff smasbers
see no hopes of a naturalization of
their ideas" And yet even these mall
contents and pessimists know that
they are better off in every material
way than they ever were before.
Il is the fifth full successive year
that we have enjoyed this constantly
increasing prosperity. 1t dates from
the going into operation of the Ding
ley tariff law. With every laborer
employed full time at larger and
larger wages, has come increased de-
mands for our varied products. even
greater than can be supplied or trans
ported

MUST BE NATIONAL
GENUINE PROTECTION Is THAT
OR 1T is NOTHING.
The Doctrine Is One Of Broad and
General Application and Must Not
Be Made an Instrument of Favor't-
ism to Special Sections or interests.

The article, Protection a National
Doctrine" in "Gunton's Magazine" for
December, is worthy of thoughtful
perusal by all who are in search OF
information and argument relative to
protection, it's aims, its scope and us
effects upon the material prosperity
of the people of this country. In this
presentment of the subject Prof. Gun
ton has completely succeeded in DEM
onstrating alike the fallacy and the
folly of considering protection as an
instrument of favoritism to special
sections or interests. The doctrine,
he urges, must be one of broad and
general application to the nation as
whole, to all industries, all inter-
ests. It is either that or it is nothing
1t will fail and deserves to fail. EX-
actly in point is the extract from
recent address by Gen. William F..
Draper, the head of the great textile
machinery plant at Hopedale, Mass,
distinguished business man, cap
tain of industry, a clear thinker and
forceful writer on economic subjects.
Well and truly Gen. Draper declares:
when the Republican party ceases
to be Protectionist party, 1t will be
beaten, and deserves to be, as, If the
people wish to try another free trade
experiment the Democratic party is
the proper one to conduct it,
And it will be so. Just as surely as
the Republican party deserts the bed
rock of its economic faith, just as
surely as it proceeds to undermine
protection, either through special
tariff legislation at the behest of GER
tain sectional interests which clamor
for free raw materials, or through a
system of swapping trade privileges
whereby one industry is arrayed
against another industry and a large
degree of foreign competition is bar
gained for, just so surely will the Re-
publican party ride to fall. No
political party can retain public con-
fidence for any length of time after it
has begun to exhibit the worst of all
party weaknesses-tha of distrust in
the soundness of it's own cardinal
faith.
Against the folly and the fallacy of
free raw materials and special treat
les Prof Gunton's guns are double
shotted and accurately trained. New
England small talk" and selfishness
come in for some effective broadsides,
and so does the shortsighted and
short witted policy of forcing our
products upon other countries by
means of special trade privileges in
stead of on the sound and lasting
basis of superior excellence or great
er cheapness, while at the same time
showing gross favoritism and unfair
ness toward certain industries select
ed for slaughter in order that certain
other industries may have an unjust
advantage.

mercial conventions or lengthy es-
says.
Each mans bank book tells the
whole story, and there never before
were so many bank books with such
large balances as now. Never before
were so many millions sent home to
the old countries by those who have
come to make their home here in this
land of work and wages. This very
fact alone disproves the statements
that cost of living has increased more
than wages. Millions upon millions
of increased wages have been granted
during the last two months, added to
the many increases of recent years.
And happily for all, we have decided
to let we'll enough alone for two or
three years at the least.-American
Economist.
