Calamity HOwlers.
lmond News-Leader.

Richmond News-Leader.
In his address to the Home Market
Club on the occasion of their annual ban
ouet, Secretary.of.W Root declared thar
tie country was enjoying unexampled
prosperity. and about the same time Presi-
dent Roosevelt made similar declaration
in speaking at Milwaukee. Whereupon a
Democratic contemporary away M in New
England raised the cry that this was ABSURD
and delusion, because the presence OF
strikes argued the absence of Property.
| And that cry, we notice, has been echoed
by other Democratic papers in various
parts of The land. 1t is not "absurd ana
a delusion." 1t is a reality that Is any
thing but absurd. Furthermore, the
presence of strikes, regrettable as labor
disturbances may be, argues precisely the
contrary of the proposition of the contem
poraries. The latter may be good
enough Morgan to influence the unthlnk'
ing, but it challenges fact. 1t is true thai
both Secretary Root and President Roose
welt gave false reason for the prosperity
of the country. Both attributed it to the
operations of the present tariff, and used 1t
as a defence of that iniquity. The coun-
try is prosperous in spite of Dingleylsm.
The explanation is IN good crops, the set
Element Of the silver question, the return
of confidence consequent upon that set
Element and the resultant stimulus to EN-
bark in great enterprises. GiveL these
factors and the absence of Dingleylsm
with its fostering of trusts which restricts
competition in various directions, and the
country would be more prosperous STILL
AS to the bearing of strikes on prosperity,
it is indisputable that when business and
industrial activity are such as to create a
demand for labor, times are easy and
wages on the ascending scale-wllen the
employing classes are making money
strikes are most numerous. In season Oh
dulness and depression and industrial
stagnation strikes are exceptional. AT
such times the labor organizations are not
in position or condition to sustain strikes,
for they are at their weakest both imam
cially and from the viewpoint of influence
There is nothing more certain, as proved
by experience, than that strikes are sign
or concommitant of prosperity. 1t matters
not that when the country is prospecting 1t
would be all the more prosperous II there
was no such development. That Is not
german to the point, which is that Sec
rotary Root and the president sald what
was absolutely true as to the condition OF
the country, and the calamity howlers are
either blinded by their own morbid pes
simism or willfully shut out the light OF
logic in the interest of narrow partlsanry'
In neither case have we any sympathy
with them.

been prospecting under the Republican
tariffs, but there is no section of the
Union that is now reaping such marked
benefit from protection as is the South.
The splendid railroad system and other
industrial enterprises for which the News
Leader is the reputed organ owe their ex'
cellent conditions, in great measure, TO
the very economic policy which om
sprightly contemporary so unwlsely con-
dennis. 1t is strange that the News
Leader should be so nearly persuaded to
believe, and, yet, like Agrippa, "willfully
shut out the light of logic in the interest OF
partisanry." To our almost persuaded
contemporary we will say: 81 would &c
God that not only thou, but also all tha'
hear me this day, were both almost and
altogether such as l am"

MIssouri's Second Disgrace.

Philadelphia Press
The story If bribery and boodling which
comes from Missouri is the second Disgrace
of the kind brought upon that State with
in year. Taken in connection with the
revelations of corruption in the govern
ment OF st. Louis, which have become
public property, during the past few
months, they constitute a story OF dlshon-
esty, betrayed trust and bribery Of public
officials such as has been rarely equaled.
One of the principal events Of this ex-
posure relates to the attempt, which was
apparently successful, to influence the ac-
ton of the Legislature by direct bribery OF
the members. so. called trust wished to
prevent bill hostile to its interests from
passing. Money in large sums, it is
charged, was used and the bill was defeat
ed. Some of those who, it is asserted,
we're bribed were indiscreet enough to ex
hlbit the Doodle. This caused suspicion
and encouraged an investigation, and
gradually the truth is being made public
This, however, is only one incident in
the corruption which, it is claimed
marked the recent session of the Missouri
Legislature. The trail of bribery and Of
votes bought and sold is said to be over
much of the legislation enacted. 1t is
discouraglng revelation and following the
exposures of municipal corruption in St.
Louis it gives a gloomy view of the con
dition OF political morality in that State
But if it arouses the conscience of the peo'
pie to the degree that reform will be de-
manded it will result in good to the pub
lie,

TRUSTS BEHIND AGITATION.


Soon after the agitation of the negro
question began for the purpose OF inJur-
ing President Roosevelt there were reports
current that the trusts were behind the
movement. At the time we were impress
ed by observing that the newspapers that
we're corporations, organs were the loudest
and most continuous in their denunclations
of MIR. Roosevelt because of his attitude
toward the negro. 1t is now believed that
the trust promoters planned this campaign
of agitation at the time the President sent
his last message to Congress recommend
ing additional trust legislation. 1t is also
said that the trusts sent travelling cores
pondents to the South for the purpose OF
stirring up feeling against the President
by mlsrepresenting his attitude toward the
negro race. This latter movement was Il
successful one, and has given great encour'
agement to the great combinations that
are seeking to defeat the President because
he has sought to have the law enforced
against them.
The recent decision of a Federal court
in what is know as the Northern Securities
''merger" case has created even greater
hostility among Wall Street spectators to-
ward the President.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland has been
inspired with new hope by the raising OF
the political issue of NEGRO domination
or social equality; and that he is nibbllng
at the hook which the trusts have balted.
The views he uttered in his speech at the
recent meeting In New York in aid OF
Tuskegee Institute are we'll calculated to
strengthen such an impression. lie said
few words for Tuskegee and Booker l.
Washington and great many to stir the
agitation against the Administration on
the negro question. The ex.President was
clearly trying to make himself solid once
more with the "Solid South" He caught
on to the movement started by the trust
organs, and has succeeded in making a
favorable impression on the Southern De-
mocracy. 1t is no common thing now tc
hear Democrat praising Cleveland, who
short time ago was full of bitterness to-
ward the old man.
There can no longer be any doubt that
the trusts and the promoters of the unlaw-
full combinations are arrayed solidly against
Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is also very plain that
Mr.. Cleveland and his followers are in full
sympathy with the trust magnates. But
they will find that the people are not SO
easily fooled, and that the President will
be sustained in his honest efforts to enforce
the antitrust laws. OF course the South
ern Democracy will be led by the trusts il
they cater to their peculiar prejudices, but
the country at large will stand by the
President, and the trusts will find that the
agitation of the negro question will not
avail them anything.
