A Decisive Victory.

IL Bryan had been defeated by few
electoral votes the result would have
been public calamity, because dema-
gogy would have raised the instant
cry that the will of the people had
been defeated by fraud or purchase.
If Taft had just "scraped through" the
electoral college and if at the same
time Bryan had received a slight plu-
rality of the popular vote, the result
would have been almost disastrous.
because all the shrieking brotherhood
of whirling dervishes, all the Social
lists and enemies of the courts would
have begun an Immediate agitation
against the domination of plutocracy
and the buying of elections"
The actual vote-its magnitude, its
broad sweep-representi every sort
of sociological and political school, in
all sorts of states-the definitive, en-
thusiastic pronouncement for Taft
and against Bryan in agricultural
states, in manufacturing states, in
business communities, and in the
realms of labor, disarms the dema-
gogue, makes the victory satisfying
and decisive and convinces one and
all that the people by the exercise of
their reason and deliberate judgment
repudiated Bryan and all his follies

Steiner 500 City Believed Lost.

st. Johns, n. F.-Wreckage which
has come ashore at Cape Ray
leaves little room for doubt that the
sturdy little steamer 500 City, which
for 20 years piled as an excursion
vessel on the Great Lakes, went down
with her crew in the midst of the gale
that lashed the Newfoundland coast
for two days this week. The steamer
was in command of Capt. John G. Dill
Ion of Brooklyn, who was formerly
commander of the United States gov
ernment transport Missouri. A wife
and three small children awaited his
return home. The exact number of
the crew is in doubt 1t is known,
however, that no less than IS men
were on board and it has been re-
ported that the crew was recently in
creased to 2S men.

What the Harvest Has Done.

The harvest of the great wheatrais.
ing states has been we'll up to the av-
erage, and, with the high prices, is
to return more money to the farmer
than in many years. While the coun.
try's total wheat crop is estimated at
4O,000,000 bushels more than last year,
it Is yet 60,000,000 bushels below that
of the previous season, and the farmer
has little reason to fear material les
sening of values. The corn is promis.
ing we'll in the interior states, and
lessened yield in some of the older
settled ones may make this likewise a
remarkably profitable year for produ-
GERS of that cereal. Contracts are
being made at this writing at prices
giving abundant return for the farm
er's toll. Minor crops have been gem
erous in the prairie states, with good
prices. Altogether, declares Charles
Moreau Harger, in the American Re-
view of Reviews, it has been a goodly
year and one that has given the farmer
feeling of independence. His stable
position is certain to have effect on
every sort of industry and enterprise.

SEES DANGER AHEAD FOR TAFT.
Democratic Newspaper Stands In Fear
of "Reaetonaries."

The New York Post sees danger
ahead for Mr. Taft. and the danger
must indeed be a very small one TO
escape the eagle and prophetic eye of
the Post. MIR Taft has carried a good
deal of driftwood along with him to
victory Cannon and Dalzell Payne
and Gardner are liable to think that
his triumph is one for reaction in
general, and that they have carte
blanche to break all party pledges and
to eat, drink and be merry. But the
Post will throw upon these delin-
quents the cold shadow of it's watchful
disapproval:
Nothing is more certain than that
President-elect Taft will have his ears
filed with the cry that the tariff must
not be touched. If prosperity rapidly
returns. it will be said that any at
tempt at tariff revision will throw
everything into uncertainty again. If,
on the other hand, recovery lags, It
will be alleged that the country Is
waiting till the terrible portent of
tariff reduction is out of its path.
Judge Taft will need all his flrmness
and every particle of his courage to
keep his word on this subject, and TO
insist that his party also stand to its
pledged faith. The question of stanch-
ness and consistency in this matter of
the solemn promises of the Republican
party TO reduce the tariff Immediately
after the 4th of March, will be the
very article of a standing or falling
presidency. This Mr.. Taft must
we'll know; but he may not yet be
aware of the combined and formidable
efforts that will be put forth in order
to make him swear"

An English suffragette leader who is
on this side says that American WON.
en- are more timid than their English
sisters in demanding their rights, and
urges them to make equal suffrage a
burning issue in "a fire Of revolt" The
lady is mistaken in her main points.
American women are not timid; they
are not as aggressive or as violent as
their English sisters because they
have no need to be, and as for start
ing a flame of revolt that is not nec-
essary, either. The moment the wom-
en- of the country in any considerable
majority demand equal suffrage the
men will give it to them. The women
of this country have confidence in the
men to do them justice, and the men
have respect for the women, which is
state of affairs the English suffra-
gette sentiment does not as yet seem
TO have penetrated.

TRADE QUITE SATISFACTORY
r. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade-Cold Weather Helps Some
Steel Industry Almost Normal

New York City.-R. G.. Dun & CO.
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Colder weather brought a better re-
tail demand for seasonable merchan-
disc, and holiday trade made good
progress, but assortments are not
wholly satisfactory because of the con-
servatism of many dealers who failed
to secure adequate stocks. Indus
trial activity is maintained, except
where it is customary to limit opera
tions for inventories at this season.
Shoe factories receive much forward
business, wholesalers anticipating
higher prices in keeping with the per-
sistent upward tendency of hides and
leather Recent advances in pig iron
are held, although there is less pres
sure to provide for the needs of 1909,
while the steel industry is almost
normal except for big railroad con-
tracts that are still deferred. Com
mercial payments are gradually i'm
proving. Inadequate water supply re-
tards work at woolen and pulp mills
in New England, coke ovens at Con-
nellsville and various other industrial
plants, while lake navigation is about
closed for the season.
Dry goods market conditions are
more quiet, although there is no evi-
dence of weakness. In some lines
there is the usual lull that appears in
December, while in other departments
the position of the raw material is a
disturbing factor. There is a steady
demand for cotton goods from buyers
who have refused to operate beyond
immediate needs. Improvement con-
tinues in the demand for woolens, al
though orders are unevenly dis
tributed.
