POLITICAL ACTIVITY. /.
New Orleans Picayune.)

In country and under political
system where government is Of the
people, for the people and by the PEG.
pie 1t would be supposed that every
citizen would vote and that the best
citizen would take the greatest inter.
est, manifest the greatest zeal and
display the most untiring acticlty In
putting the best an dmost capable men
in public office, and be the first to
discover and to try out against official
malfeasance and corruption.
But exactly. the opposite Is the case.
The only active and Jealous citizens
in political campaign are those who
want to get the public plumber and
patronage. Those who are foremost
and the loudest in crying out against
the fellows who have possession OF
power and plumber are those who want
It.
And in this connection It has been
well said that in order for the few to
secure from the government advan-
tages over the many It is absolutely
necessary for the few to corrupt the
government, not with money pay
ments, but by putting their Vast
wealth and power at the support OF
parties and OF candidates who will
give them the advantages that they
need. The tremendous interests of
the beneaciarles Of public power and
favor make 1t necessary for them to
engage in politics with a seriousness
unknown to other men.

THE BUSH .,s'J esas y OUTLOOK.

There Is substantial basis for an
optimistic business forecast at the be:
ginning OF 1911. I'D
This Is to be found In the fact that
the. past year. was by, far the most
prosperous that the American farmer
has ever enjoyed. i
When the. farmers are. prosperous
the business OF The country Is III a
healthy condition, even though the
speculative markets may be experi-
encing a period Of lethargy. Business
conditions, taking the country oyer,
are not to be Judged by. the activity
of Wall Street. But even in the Sc;
cunty markets the outlook is a hope.
full one. .,ts y \ z
As one expert commentator puts It,
"the business OF the country has been
steadily settling down to point from
which natural law, backed by mex.
haustible resources, must again re.
vive it." ff
Most authorities on trade speak con-
tidently Of the outlook. There Is no
reason to expect that this year 1911
will be a boom year, but there is
abundant reason for expecting that It
will be BEAUTIFULLY and normally pros,
porous. Industrial reaction and re.
adjustment are yet In process. Out.

Trading In stocks fell OF "a per cent
In 1910, as compared with 1909, but
the output Of the steel mills was
greater last year than during any pre-.
vlous year. The imports were the
largest in history, and the exports
much above the yearly average OF the
past ten years. +
There was a slowing down In bust.
ness activities generally near the close
Of last year, but the general tone Of
business was healthy. *
During the first month Of the new
year large sums will be distributed in
the shape Of interest and dividends
There is reason enough to anticipate q
quick business revival.

THE RETURN OF GOLD.
(Washington Post.t =

the most cheering thing to be ex.
tracted from the end-ofthe.year re.
turns is that the, balance Of trade is
running more strongly in our favor,
although the exports of foodstuffs
continue to decline In value. While
the overplus still runs behind what it
was a few years back, Is amounts to
as much as s3O0.O0O,000. This will
suffice to keep the loan sharks from
the door, which in this case is the
clutch Europe has had on our gold In
recent years. There Is no present
prospect Of the usual January drain
on our resources, in settlement OF OBJ
legations to London and Paris. On
the contrary. exchange Is at the I'm
port point. with good prospect Of
good coming here in settlement OF
cotton bills; for It is to the heavy ex.
ports Of that staple we principally
owe our immunity from the gold.grab.
bers Of Europe. Lancashire and 9th.
or spinning centers are laying in a
big reserve, paying the high price
that cotton commends. rather than
take chances In there being a large
chop at lower values next year. iiIi4
Next to cotton as factor in i'm.
proving our trade position comes
manufacturing, which shows an ex.
port gain Of 65 per cent. over 10, years
ago. The increase in manufactures
accounts for the larger Imports Of
crude materials not obtainable in this
country. This accounts also, in part
for the loss In foodstuffs, as owing
to the growth OF Industrial centers at
the expense Of the farm, We are more
nearly consuming the output Of ce.
reals and meats, thus leaving small.
er quantity to find consumers else.
