thursday EVENING, JANUARY 1
FACING THE NEW YEAR

n
and distinctly disadvantageous,
~ businessmen of the country face
the, new year as optimistically
as they may and with full determina-
tion to make the best of a bad bargain.
The passage of the new currency
bill, it is hoped, will have a beneficial
effect. Money will in all likelihood
become easier and Spring buying
should give fresh impetus to mills
that have felt the stagnation which
began as soon as it became apparent
that the Democrats in Washington
meant to cut the mainstays of pro-
lection from beneath the feet of Amer
lean industry. To what extent this
stimulus will manifest itself in the first
quarter of the year remains to be
acen but it is folly to assert that
American businessmen, displeased
with the Underwood law, have deter
mined to further injure themselves by
closing their mills, cutting off their
entire financial income or driving
themselves into bankruptcy as q mere
means of getting square" with an
vadministration with which they have
little sympathy.
On the other hand, there are indica-
tions of exactly the opposite Manu-
facturerS, with a. steady eye on the
movements of their European competi-
tors, are preparing to overcome as best
they can the heavy handicap under
which they have been placed. To their
credit be it said that there has not
beah d single serious attempt at wage
cutting to meet the foreign market,
Hours have been shortened and mills
have been closed, but American manu-
facturers are making a brave attempt
to keep UP the high wage for which
this country is noted the world over,
All good citizens will hope that they
will succeed in their efforts.
The outlook is not for a panic, al
the Siegel interests might have wide
ly disturbing effect, but, on the other
hand, there is no indication of any
early resumption of business on the
scale of hightide prosperity upon
which the Wilson administration went
into power.
Harrisburg is most fortunately sit
uated at this period of disturbance and
readjustment. The laboring man, the
man who works with his hands, is
always first to feel the stress of de-
preston. He is first to lose his job
and last to be re-employed. But in
4 this city there should be plenty of
work for this class during the coming
spring and summer. The Pennsylva-
mia Railroad is going ahead with its
plans for the construction of it's new
freight yards in the lower end of town,
with the incidental buildings and sub
ways; the Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company will rebuild the Mulberry
street bridge, the city will reconstruct
that at Dock street, the river wall re-
mains to be completed, there is money
in sight for great park developments,
the State is continuing to demolsh
buildings and fill up cellars in the
Eighth Ward, one or more school
houses are to be built. sewers are to be
laid and much street paving put down
Altogether money and work both
should be plentiful in Harrisburg dur
ing 1914 and the effect of whatever de-
PRESTON there may be elsewhere
DehoMsy be minimized here by our own
activities.

CIVIL. SERVICE HERE AND THEIR,

TT is touching, on this opening day of
the new year, to observe the So
I licitude of a certain element of
the Democratic party for the
maintenance of the civil service
principle, especially as it applies
to the retention of their brethren
in municipal jobs. But there is
apparently little heed given in the
same quarter to the breaking down of
the civil service system at Washington,
where, DAY after day, assaults are
made upon the laws providing for the
merit system in appointments.
All good citizens believe in the civil
service bulwark as the only safeguard
of our system of government, but it
will not do for Democratic spoilsmen
to berate Republican officials for doing
the very same things that they are
doing themselves.

WHY DIsCRIMHNATEo

"HERE appears to be no partisan
division of opinion as to the
= merit of the railroads request
for permission to raise their
freight rates per cent. Indeed, our
Democratic friends have seized upon
this eagerly in the effort to show that
existing business troubles throughout
the United States are not due to the
Democratic tariff, the new currency
bill and other Wilson radicalisms.
There is no depression" they say,
and then they hasten to qualify by add
ing, "and whatever depression there
is, is due to the fact that the rail-
roads have not the money to put into
improvements, which has resulted in
general inactivity in the steel trade.
Everybody admits that the steady

Yet it has been shown again and
again that Americans can compete
with their foreign rivals in the
markets of the world IL they apply
their natural sagacity and ability
to the task. The fact is at last be-
ing more generally recognized.
That is one reason why the prophe-
.cies of the Cassandras of the
American Protective Tariff League
and the Home Market Club are be-.
ginning to fall on deaf ears.--The

Apropos of removals of Democrats
from Harrisburg municipal places and
the dreadful howl that it has occa-
stoned, it is interesting to note that f.
C. Wetmore, Republican United States
District Attorney at Grand Rapids, has
been removed without cause" by Presi-
dent Wilson, in order to give the office
to a Democrat.
