To all except the few who live upon the public treasury, or by the dispen. sation of billets upon it, it will pro. bably seem desirable that the opposi- ton should occasionally succeed

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

Through the approval of the people of the United states, the Republican party yesterday achieved the greatest victory in its history. The endorse mcnt of Republican policies and can didatcs was clear, overwhelming and enthusiastically positive. The people voted to preserve prosperity, protect American industrics and uphold the rights of labor.
 The result of yesterdays $ voting IS more than Republican victory. for it marks and epoch in the history Of thls country. The time had come when the government was either 10 go forward in the prosecution of great undertak- ings and developments, or take anoth. CT course because of changes in gov erumental policies. The result marked an epoch because i, will start this country anew upon the greatest and, most reaching industrial and com. nercial prosperity. The banks and the safety vaults of this country are fairly bulging with capital that will now seek invest ment in the development of resources and the upbuilding and en- largemcut of enterprise. l, means the extension and improvement of rail. roads. the establishment of manufac. turing plants and the construction of buildings. l, means an increased de mand for construction materials, an increased demand for labor and an in. creased consumption of the products of the farm and orchard. ss well as of the factory. IL means increased prosper fly for the whole country.
 The victory was momen,ous. Strong holds of Democracy gave majori'ies for the Republican ticket, and in nor mally Republican states the Republi can ma ajorities were increased greatly. This shows a confidence in the policies that have been approved that in itself, beside and beyond all political parti. sanship, will be . mighty factor in promoting country wide prosperity to q great degree, in which all citizens, re. gardless of party affiliations, will share, of course.
 The endorsement that has been given the candidacy of Judge Taft is deserved in every way, although he has received the largest vote ever given any presidential candidate since this country was established. Judge Taft is fitted peculiarly for the high office to which he has been elected by ability, experience, strength of charac- ter and breadth of view. He is con. servative, yet he is such a man as mod. ern conditions demand shall be placed at the head of the nations affairs. His personality as well as the policies which he approves and will uphold and make effective, contributes 10 the con. fdenre. of the people that the reins of government are safe in his hands.
 The distinguished gentleman who was the standard bearer of the Demo. cracy will lose nothing of that esteem in which he is held throughout the country because he did not achieve his ambition. His ability and his patriot ism have never been questioned in the least, and though the governmental policies for which he stands have not been approved, he holds high place as an honored American citizen.--San Jose Mercury.

NOW FOR PROSPERITY.

There IS substantial reason for the belief that the new lease of power 0anted the Republican party by the people of the United States at ,he slsction last Tuesday will be the sig nal for general resumption of active operations in all commercial. manufae turing and financial lines throughout ths county It is well known to every sse who pays any attention 10 the drift of public opinion, that there was A very widespread conviction. or al least fear, especially in financial cir cles, that the election of MT. Bryan would mean mischief to all the great Susiness interests of the country.
 It is not worth while for us 10 stop TOW 10 discuss the question of wheth- CT there was any sufficient foundation ia fact for this feeling, conviction or fear, whichever you may call it, but the fact remains that it did exist, and as long as such an opinion prevails to any considerable extent among men who command the capital of the coun. try, ths result must inevitably be the same, whether such opinions have n ssbstantia! foundation or none at all. As long as the strong boxes are kept locked it does not matter fig 10 the man who is looking for employment what may have been the reason for the locking. We all know it to be the fact tAat hundreds, yes thousands, of con. tracts for big undertaking. in all parts of the country, have been entered into conditions upon the result of last Tuosday's election-to be commenced at once if Taft should be elected, and to be hung up to see what might hap pen if Bryan should be elected.
 While no intelligent man believes that change of politics in the nation. al administration could possibly work permanent stagnaton of development, and progress in this great country, it IS nevertheless true that such feeling of doubt and uncertainty as has per. saded the business and financial cir. cies of the country with regard to the effect of Bryan's election would have been sufficient 10 bring in a period of acute depression, for a time at least possibly year, or until the new ad. minis,ration which would come in the fourth of next March would have time to develop it's policy.
 Now, however, since the people hay registered their verdict in favor of the other side-t the side which all the doubting and nervous elements re. gard as the safe side--we are to take 1t for granted that all the various en. terprises conditioned, as we have said, upon the result which has come to pass, will be undertaken without any further waiting. It is therefore not unreasonable to assumc that the better conditions in all lines of business which must inevitably follow the res. toration of confidence on the part of the business world, will make tbem- selves apparent immediately, and that by the beginning of the new year the country will he well on the way to such conditions of progress and gen. erai proseprty as prevailed previous to the late panic. The clouds that were gathered on the business sky will soon roll away.

Editorial Comment

it necessary 10 immediately strengthen its defenses. The two propositions are inseparably joined, for the strongest influence favoring tho increase of the sa'ional debt, and especially the strongest preventing i,s reduction, is the influence of the national banks, whose number is increasing with our iucrcas. in population and wealth. and which are constantly in the market for United States bonds as basis for currency issues.
 The country is committed to the construction of The Panama Canal with borrowed money, and that can not now be prevented. Fifty millions
 more of bonds are about t0 be issued. There is no reason to expect that in 'he near future this investment will
 be productive. although in time it
 may be so. and sound finance would involve making the investment and in. cident of public defense and charging it as such upon inc war and navy de. partmcnts. That would not save any
 money. but it would have avoided a precedent for incurring debt for m uD
 productive undertaking under the pro. tense that it was an outlay for the promotion If commerce. IL is not al. ways improper for n government tO make pecuniaritly unproduetive out,
 lays outside the line of ordinary gov crument function for promoting the commercial or general welfare of the nation, but it is not sound policy to incur debt for such purposes. The in teres;s of the national defense proba. bly justify the construction of the quire that We pay for it as we go. The real strength of this nation lies in is abiliy make any necessary cxpen- diure for he naional defense wihou incurring debts in time of peace. The national debts of the world are the great social danger points. In so far "7 wv 'i'aA' bhe WE NuTTcnueI NOiHt part of our greatest advantage in the competition of nations.
 But. while we are committed to the issue of bonds for the construction of the canal. we are not committed to the policy of making these bonds available as security for currency. We cannot. without virtually break. tug faith with the public creditor, pre- ven, the use of outstanding issues for that purpose, because they have been sold at prices which could not have been paid had they not been so avail. able. What congress can do is 10 is- sue no more bonds to be used as such security and to modify the national bank laws as to provide for the issue of currency on some other basis. Any political party which will undertake to educate the public to an understand. ing that debt, and especially public debt, is the worst possible security for a circulating medium, and patiently endure the defeats which would come until the educational process is com pleted, will perform great public ser vice, and in the end would convert its opponents or defeat them.
