GOODTIMES ARE HERE PROSPERITY UNDER DEMOCRACY HAS COME TO STAY. The Country Recovering from the Unfortunate Administration of Benjamin Harrison with Its Shermanism and McKinleyism Accompaniment. Calamity-Howlers Dumfounded. In the canvass of last tall, the conn- ' try over, the Republicans sent Mr. Dismal on the stump. Republican com- • mittees fairly reveled in tvhat they call ed the calamities of their country. The instructed stumper of the dismal tribe was adjured to advise electors who had ’ voted for Democracy and tariff reform | in is 92 to eat the roosters they wore , in their caps after the triumphant election of the opponents of special prir! leges. Wearing hat bands of crape and screwing his features into an expresion of profound commiseration. X Kinley went out crying. "1 told you so.” The calamity howler was heard all over the land. The administration : was responsible for all the woes that ■ had come ui>on America. Democrats ! had interfered to some extent with the I God-given right of protects to enjoy ! benefits not granted to the rest of their ! fellow citizens, but paid for by them. The Republican administration had nothing to do with the hard limes, so the stumi»ers averred. Republican demagogy on the silver question, the i high taxation which they had enacted in the McKinley law. none of these had | aught to do with the distress which was obvious. The blame must be laid at j the door of a party which proposed to relieve Americans in some measure of | the burden of taxation. Times are changed and changing. The country is recovering from the unfortunate administration of Benjamin Harrison, with its Sherraanism and its McKinleyism. Under the Wilson bill. . ■which it was said would ruin industries, industries revive. Under the Democratic policy which these dismals : declared would rob the wage earner j increase of wages comes to operatives in rehabilitated industries. The commerce that calamity howlers declared was devoted deliberately to destruction in the Wilson bill is moving steadily i and cheerfully. For nearly a year the I Wilson law has been in ojieration, with the result, which Republican Jeremiahs declared could never be attained thereunder. that times have vastly improv- ' ed. We now hear even McKinley sniv- i eling that the Wilson bill is, after all, i but a vindication of his high protective j policy. In 1888, says the Chicago Chronicle, the hired campaign orators of the Re- I publican party organized themselves after what they called glorious victory into an association of “spell-binders.” They were so eloquent that, according to the report to their employers, they hade held their audiences everywhere and were mighty proud of their achievements. In 18112 these mercenary •'spellbinders" became dismal calamity howl- ' ers. Where they had an audience cheering when engaged in the great spellbinding act they had the satisfaction later of finding their eloquence of disaster calling for continual groans. Tariff taxation had been reduced and the country had gone howling to the devil, where Democratic headquarters are in continual session. If the Republican party proposes to go into the campaign with these orators next year, still crying that disaster attends Democratic i policy, that industrial chimneys smoke no longer, that wage earners are starved. that the laud is ruined, they will talk to empty benches. They can no longer revel in their dire prophecies. , Prosperity has come to stay. Kot Caused by Republican Victories, With one accord the high tariff or- ! gans are shouting: "We told you so; the Republican victory last fall has brought good times and business prosperity. We did it all." This confession on the part of the protection organs that trade and : industry are reviving, and that wages are going up, is very welcome to Democrats. who want, first of all. to see an | end of the long era of depression cans- \ ed by McKinleyism, As the repetition : of the statement that it is Republican ' successes which have brought about I the present industrial boom, may delude ■ some of the unwary, it may lie worth while to briefly examine their pretensions. According to the protection theory everything good comes from high tariffs, and everything bad from free trade. But it is only of late that protectionists have been so bold as to claim that their 1 nostrum works both ways; that it niakes times bad when Democrats are in power, and the threat to restore it mab's them good just as soon as a Re- , publican Congress is elected. It Is a notorious fact that the great panic of 18113 was brought on under conditions ' created by Republican legislation. It | is equally wqll known that the country began to revive from the exhausting effects of high taxation and restricted trade as soon as ever a measure of tariff reform went into effect. It is to break the force of these damaging facts that the Republican papers are taking credit to their party for the happy change in the industrial situation. But it will not work. Their humbug is too transparent. Business is improving because there is a demand for more goods of all kinds. Factories have got rid of their overstock, caused by high tariff stagnation. and are trying to catch up with their orders. Mon are making things because other men want them, anti have something to give in exchange for them. People do net buy things merely because a Congress which has not yet met aappens to have a few more Republicans than Democrats. They buy because they need things and can sell their products to the men who produce what they want. Party politics has nothing to de with It, except in so far

as every additional restriction removed from trade helps make business of all j kinds better. It is not the threat of | re-establishing McKinleyism. but the natural working of less hampered industrial forces, which has brought about the great improvement in bus! Hess. And the high tariff, "no trade" | organs only make themselves ridiculous * by their antics. Farmers Not Benefited by Tariffs. Realizing that the old "home market' cry will not again fool the farmer into voting for a restoration of McKinleyism, the protectionist organs are now | trying to devise a scheme for a high : tariff on farm products. In spite of the . fact that our agricultural industries i have been established from one him- I dred to two hundred and fifty years. | the professional "friends of the farmer" ; are working the same old "infant industry” dodge which they used eighty years ago in regard to manufactures, i According to these protectionists we have been reading our histories all wrong. Instead of the generally accepted theory that agriculture was the first indu ry of the country, it appears that the reverse is the ease. When the first settlers landed on our shores they found here a number of kind capitalists with factories all ready for operation. Being truly benevolent, as all manufacturers are. these capitalists took pity on the settlers and gave them work. After awhile some of the settlers heard that la ml had lieen invented in England, so they sent over for a few shiploads, and spreading it out. proceeded to grow crops on it The crops grew so well that they decided to make some land for themselves, and being naturally ingenious. succeeded in a short time in manufacturing a large quantity. In the meantime the number of factories having increased, there was a demand for some more land to put them on. and to grow food on to feed the operatives. In this way the farming industry has been gradually built up, so that it is believed that a protective tariff on wheat, cotton, corn and beef would lead to the importation and production of large areas of land. As America already exports great quantities of all these staple products, it may at first sight seetn doubtful where the benefit to the farmers will come in. Skeptical free-traders, who believe that thirty years of protection nearly ruined our farmers, will very likely sneer and say that to talk of helping agriculture by high tariffs Is all humbug. They will claim that in the long run the prosperity of any country dejiends on the condition of its farmers, and that to attempt to protect an industry which sells Its surplus products in foreign markets, is the silliest kind of nonsense. And they will also assert that it was the great agricultural industry of this country, established without any government pap, which was the formation for all onr prosperity. But there is no use in arguing with the<e theoretical free-traders The facts are all on their side, and anyway, they never could be brought to see the wisdom of making everybody rich by taxing everybody. Let the good, unselfish protectionists stick to their doctrine that the way to help the farmers Is by killing foreign trade, and in the course of time they will be regarded as merely innocent victims of a harmful superstition. He Who Runs May Read. In August. ISIM. the Wilson tariff bill, reducing the tariff duties, became a law. Immediately factories opened. Idle men were set at work, wages increased. mills were crowded to the utmost capacity to supply orders. In the schedules including iron and woolen goods the reductions were greatest. In iron the average reduction was 37 per cent, and in woolens 50 per cent. Yet in iron and woolen factories is the greatest increase in activity noted and In these two branches are the advances in wages most general. The lesson is very plain. It does not require a Solomon or a Newton to discover it It is simply this: High tariff leads to lowwages; low tariff is accompanied by high wages. The proof is overwhelming.—Utica Observer. Tin Industry Given a Show. According to a Republican contemporary the number of tin plate plants has increased from thirty-two to fiftyfour, or nearly 100 per cent. It was not to be expected that the tin plate industry would make much progress while the McKinley law was in operation, That e Anomic monstrosity put a prohibitive duty on tin plate, but a moderate levy on the tin and the plate. The result was that a number of firms I established the business of importing I the tin and the plate and had the dipping done here. That was a profitable ! but fraudulent business which gave i satisfaction to no one except those en- : gaged in it.—Kansas City Times. Women in u Protected Industry. I Under the heading "Women Toiling ■ in Iron,” the New York Press publishes a detailed account of the employment ; by the Monon’gahela Tin Plate Comi pany of a number of women to assist . in making tin plate. Had this been in Wales, or England, wo should have had from the Press denunciations of the ter- ■ rible effects of free trade In driving i women Into such disagreeable occupations. But as it is in Pittsburg, the chief manufacturing city of Pennsylvania. and as the industry is a pet one of the protectionists, we suppose it Is all right. How do American workingmen like the Idea of their wives or daughters "toiling In iron?” An Outworn Issue. Senator Quay expresses the opinion that there is about one more campaign In the tariff question. A greater man than he once thought that there was about one more Presiuency tn the bloody shirt, and found that he was mistaken. It seems very difficult for some politicians to know when an issue is worn out.—Providence Journal.

STATE TO CONTROL IT. TRANSFER OF THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. Tribute to the Martyred President Given Over to the State of Illinois by the Monument Association—Daw Huh Been Lately Passed. History of the Shaft. Among the bills passed by the Illinois Legislature which became laws on the £rst of July is one providing for the transfer of the Lincoln monument from the Monument Association to the S*ate. The law makes appropriations for the repair of the monument, the pay of a custodian, and the erection of a custodian’s lodge, or house. It also provides that the Governor. State Treasurerand Super.atendent of Public Instruction shall be trustees of the State to have the care and custody of the monument. The monument was dedicated Oct. 15, 1874. the occasion being signalized by a tremendous outpouring of the people, the ~X'J THE LINCOLN MONUMENT. oration commemorative of the life and public services of the great emancipator being delivered by Richard J. Oglesby. President Grant also spoke briefly on that occasion and a poem was read by James Judson Lord. The monument was built after the accepted designs of Larkin G. Meade, of Florence. Italy, and stands upon an eminence in Oak Ridge Cemetery. occupying about six acres of ground. Ground was broken on the site Sept. 10, 1869, in the presence of 3.000 persons. The capstone was placed in position on May 22, 1871. and on Sept. 19. 1871, the remains of Lincoln were removed from the temporary tomb and placed in the crypt under the monument In the other crypt reposes the remains of Eddie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, who died in infancy, and of Thomas (Tad), their youngest sun, who died in Chicago July 15, 1871. The monument is built of brick and Quincy granite, the latter material only < i .^3l J ...L r - _ Jt l k THE LINCOLN HOME, SPRINGFIELD, appearing in view. It consists of a square base 72 r 2 feet on each side, and 15 feet 10 inches high. At the north side of the base is a semi-circular projection, the interior of which has a radius of 12 feet. It is the vestibule of the catacomb, and gives access to view the crypts in which are placed the bodies of Lincoln and his sons. On the south side of the base is another semi-circular projection of the same size, but this is continued into the base so as to produce a room of elliptical shape, which is called Memorial Hall. Thus the base measures, including these two projections. teet from north to south and 72 ! 2 feet from east to west. In the angles formed by the addition of these two projections are handsome flights of stone steps, two on each end. These steps are protected by granite balustrades, which extend completely around the top of the base, which forms a terrace. From the plane of this terrace rises the obelisk, or die. which is 28 feet 4 inches high from WHERE LIXKOLX KEPT STORE. the ground and tapered to 11 feet square at the top. The statute of Lincoln is, of course, the central attraction of the monument. He is represented as standing with fasces at his right hand, in which is his pen. In his left hand he holds the proclamation of emancipation, while on the pedestal beneath his feet is the bronze coat of arms. In a fight between State Constables Pettigrew and Toland and two moonshiners named Fisher and Durham at Spartanburg, S. the latter were killed. Pettigrew was shot through the lungs and will probably die. Toland is badly wounded. O. O. Cottle, the lawyer who was kidnaped from his office, failed to appear before a grand jury at Buffalo. N. Y., to give evidence toward indicting John C. Emery and George Allen, accused of being his alKluctors.

DEATH IN THE STORM. 1 WIND AND RAIN CAUSE AWFUL HAVOC. Town of Winona, Mo.. M Sped Off the Map and Lieven Persons Pleasure Party Goch Down to Death in Lake Geneva. Swept by a Flood. Eleven persons were killed, eight other* are missing, twenty or thirty were hurt, and thirty houses were demolished by a flood which all but swept the town of Winona, Mo., uut of existence 1 riday night Not in the history us Missouri has such an awful story of terror and destructive been told as that winch comes fruxu the little town, and Saturday its inhabitants were wandering about in despair, some homeless, many with relatives or friends dead ur missing, and all almost dazed by the awful calamity fruin which they had emerged. The dead are: Maggie Cannon, Mrs. Clara Crawford. Myrtle Crawford, little daughter of Mrs. Clara Crawford; the Rev. G. NN ■ Duncan. Mrs. G. NV. Duncan, wife of the Rev. G. NN. Duncan; Miss Mattie Duncan, daughter of the Rev. G. NV. Duncan; John Norris. George Nevins. Mrs. Nevins, mother of George Nevins; Miss Norma Nevins, sister of George Nevins; May NN right | The residents of the village were caught , totally unawares by the cloudburst The evening had been calm, with uu sign of an approaching storm with the exception ! of fitful flashes of lightning far off on the ; horizon, which, if given a thought, were | attributed to the heat, instead of being set down as the precursor of a storm that ■ was soon to wreck the town and engulf human life in its terrible sweep. About 9:30 o'clock rain began to fail, but it was so slight that the few who had not retired fur the night did so. thankful fur the needed showers. The rain rapidly in- ‘ creased in valume. swelling Pike creek to a flood. Then came the cloudburst, and j within an hour rhe village was ruined and | eleven us its citizens were inanimate objects, being dashed and buffeted by the debris as it was hurried down the valley by the seething waters. Pike creek runs through the corner of the town from west to east. A few miles west several smaller creeks and valleys empty into it and the torrents of water all joined the main stream and burst upon the town at 10 o’clock. There was no time for escape. Within a half hour the village for a space of a quarter of a mile square was covered with water to a depth of four feet. Frame houses went crashing down into the torrent as the foundations were washed away. High above the roaring of the storm and the whistling winds arose the screams of the terror stricken people, awakened from their slumbers to battle with death. Vivid flashes of lightning illumined the scene and added a ghastly pallor to the white faces of the victims as they struggled for a footing in the mad flood. (Tiildren could be heard calling for their parents until their cries were forever stilled by the relentless waters. As the smaller structures were washed down families were separated and people could be seen on drifts, floating down to what for many of them was certain death. Hardly a building in the entire town with the exception of those in the suburbs on high ground escaiied the flood. A few years ago the village was almost destroyed by fire, only a few houses remaining at that time to mark the site. Reports from surrounding villages in.dioate that great damage has been done elsewhere, although there are no reports of loss of life. Pleasure Party Drowned. A heavy storm passed over Lake Geneva. NVis.. Sunday afternoon about 4:30 which unroofed buildings and demoralized shade trees. The hail broke a large amount of glass and ruined corn and what little fruit there was. The steam launch Dispatch was chartered just before the storm by a party consisting us Father Hogan and Miss Hogan, of Harvard. 111., and Dr. John E. Hogan, assistant superintendent of the Elgin, 111., insane asylum, wife and child. The boat was in charge of John Preston, a reliable young man. They were caught by the storm and the boat was swamped and all on board were drowned. The body of Miss Hogan was found floating near Kaye's Park. It is reported that four men who were out in a boat near Waukegan were drowned in the storm. The storm over the State was severe in sections. It passed to the north and south of Milwaukee, but did no damage in rhe city, although from meager reports received from the State it must have done considerable damage to property and crops. A furious wind and rain storm struck Chicago Sunday afternoon just before 6 o'clock and raged for an hour, leaving death, injury and destruction in its wake on land and sea. The wind howled across the lake and through the streets at a 50mile an hour gait, and for a few moments it looked as if a well-developed Western twister was about to turn itself loose on the city. One man was drowned by the capsizing of a small boat and a number of others had narrow escapes from a like fate. Ten Killed in Georgia. A terrific cyclone swept across Eatonton •♦.nd Morgan County. Ga., about 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Meager accounts only have been ret-eived. At Willard’s station on the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Railroad every house was torn to pieces. Henry Adams, white, and Robert Harding. colored, were killed outright. Buildings. fences and crops on the Martin plantation were carried away. Uver in Mor- | gan County Andrew Perry’s farm buildings and house were blown down. Perry and his family were buried in the falling timbers. Perry is injured internally and will probably die. His wife is in a critical condition. The home of James (’oilier was demolished and two of his children were mangled by the wreck. Full report® '•annot be obtained until daylight. Twenty persons are kn- wn to have been badly injured, and the list of fatalities will hardly be less than ten. Sparks from the Wires. Frank Jerost has been convicted at Ashland.
