Prosperity to Stay.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture has returned TO Wash
ington from the West with good re-
ports of the ripening crops. The West
ern farmers have plenty of money and
are soon to have Il great deal more,
since they are getting ready TO send to
market enormous quantities Of grain
and other products Good prices for
them are amply assured. SO the proc
ess by which an abundance of money
Is put into circulation Is about to begin
all over again under favorable condi-
tions.
The scarcity of money for investment
and speculation in Wall street and 9TH
er financial centers presumably will
increase during the next few weeks.

cause the West and South to withdraw
their surplus funds to be used in trans

tual production. The easing process, so
often provided by the national treas

But while the big finauciers are look
ing glum and stocks are sagging on
the exchanges the producers of the ma

stores of money.
That is prosperity. For the produc-

Political Comment.


Many members of Congress who ex-
pect to be on the committees which
will be called upon to make apprOpria-
tions for the Panama Canal are max
Ing arrangements TO visit the isthmus
before the session begins. They will
do this for the purpose of seeing what
work has been done, what is doing,
and what is needed to be done. The
president, it Is understood, Is to give
more space 10 canal matters in his COM
ing message than he has done hereto
fore, and Congress will need to inform
Itself on the subject at first hand, in
order to act intelligently. The Presi-
dent made trip to the canal zone last
fall, and the result was quickly seen
in some changes which he made in the
working forces at the isthmus, and in
legislation which he urged in a special
message.
One of the objects of the coming
visit of congressman TO the isthmus is
to devise means to hurry the work for
ward As the army Is in charge of
lllic HONt lCl0Oll say tAi
far more progress is being made than
was done during the civilian regime.
And there is far less talking by the
men who are doing the work, and
there is no posing before the camera.
During the administration of the civil
ians the country quickly got familiar
with the pictures of Wallace, Stevens,
IShonts and the others, but nobody out
side of the canal lone knows what the
present head of the constructive forces
looks like. and very few know his
name. He attends strictly TO business,
and the newspapers get no chance to
mention him.
Still, il may be possible for the pres
1dent and Congress to devise means to
hurry up the work of canal building,
by strengthening the hands of tie army
lofficers who are in charge OF affairs.
If this can be done the country wants
it to be done The fact that the fleet
for the Pacific will have TO sail 1900
miles to reach point which coulG be
reached in 5000 if the canal were COM
lpleted is an eloquent reminder that
that shortcut ought 10 be pushed with
all possible speed. The country is
spending a good deal of money in canal
building, but 1t is willing to spend
more if the additional outlay will
bring completion year or two earlier.

interesting questions which will come

Hoping for q Word.

Chicago Democrats are hoping,
through the medium of the national
committee, 10 smoke out William Jen-
nings Bryan Chicago is bidding for
the convention, but it fears that with
Bryan in complete control, h, will
switch the big gathering to some other
city for the reason that Chicago is not
Ibubbling over with enthusiasm for the
Peer ess Ore.
Ever SINE Bryan undertook to teach
Roger Sullivan his duty as Il Demo-
icrat, there has been a growing revolt
Ivan, 1t viii be recalled, is a member
of the national committee, but Bryan
claims there is a faint to the title, and
hence personally advised him TO retire.
This impertinence brought a tart re-
ply, from the effects of which Mr..
Bryan has not yet recovered.
But the Democrats OF Chicago don't
intend this little political duel shall de
prive them of the honor they seek
They have invoked the aid of Folk s
friends to help them out, and IS the
program is designed to place Bryan on
record, mutual advantage will be de-
rived. The Missouri governor has a
little bee buzzing in his bonnet. He
knows he went cut much of figure If
Bryan tries to be the whole show,
while should the latter eliminate him
self, the Folk boom might assume di-
mansions. Several members of the ma
tional committee are friendly to Folk.
and if these can be lined up for Chi
cago, 1t is thought Bryan will be COM
PEELED to announce his position.
The most remarkable evidence of
weakness of the Democratic party is
this confession that before anything
can be accomplished Bryan must be
consulted. Even as courageous a man
ms Watterson admits that Bryan, the
man who has done more than any other
Democrat tt disrupt the Democratic
party, can and probably will, dominate
the next national convention. Yet how
quickly life could be galvanized into
that party were Bryan TO announce his
ret:i ement Toledo Blade.

Mr.. Bryan and the Republican Party.

That Mr.. Bryan will seek the Demo-
to receive it, is announced by recog-
nized Bryan spokesman in New York
city.
There is nothing surprising about
this 1t is a logical consequence of
political developments in the last three
years.
The national Democracy, as far as 1t
has an organized existence, stands for
nothing but Organism. A1r. Bryan is
its only presidential possibility Of ma
tional dimensions. Unless there is a
revolution within the party, either Mr..
Bryan or some man selected by him
will be the Democratic candidate.
What will be his chances of election?
To all clear-eyed and cool-headed OBJ
servers they now seem better than in
1890, and almost as good as they were
in September. 1896.
The reason is not that the Democrat
ic party has grown stronger, but that
the Republican party has grown weak
er. SO many conspicuous Republican
leaders have gone so far with Mr..
Bryan that his candidacy seems log
ical consequence of tl.eir campaign.
To make the point clear, let us re-
call how Mr.. Hearst, in his campaign
for the New York Governorship, justi-
fed himself and his doctrines by print
ing in parallel columns with his own
views the inflammatory utterances of
several national Republicans. How,
then, shall the Republican party de-
feat Mr.. Bryan? How save the conn
try from the disaster of his election?
Plainly it can do so only by adopt
ing a platform Of Republican and
American principles, by selecting lead
ers whose lives and characters show
both the ideals through which this ma
ton has grown great and prosperous
above all others, and by thus bringing
the American people to new birth OF
hope aud faith in their country, its in
situations, and themselves.
The outlook is not dark or discourage
ing. 1t is necessary only for the Re
publican party to do its duty and at
tend to its business 1t has a year in
which to accomplish a task more diff
cult but of the same kind as that with
which it grappled successfully in 1896.
If the task is begun now with deter
mination, and Is carried on in faith,
nothing wavering, we some day shall
all look back upon zoos as we now do
upon 1896, and confess that nothing
but our own follies put us in fear
