Reviving Industry.

The New York Tribune is so determined to have a tariff scare follow the monetary panic that it said a day or two ago that more manufactories are closing than opening. Its own news columns, if honestly oonducted, refute this new calamity howl. Yesterday’s morning and evening newspapers recorded the resumption of work In forty establishments, most of them large ones. The number of men reported as put to work was over 16,000, and the number nbt specified would undoubtedly raise the total to 20,000. Not a single shut-down was reported! This is but an example of the recovery that has been going on since the strong vote in the House repealing the silver purchase law. The improvement has received a new stimulus by the sure prospect of repeal in the Senate. It is seen in the money and the stock markets. It extends all over the country. Our news columns to-day tell a most encouraging story of reviving industry. Why should any newspaper seek to discredit or belittle this recovery? Does the Tribune’s indebtedness to the protected monopolies extend so far as to impel it to try and frighten away returning prosperity by a new and senseless tariff scare? Such a course strikes us as bad journalism and poor patriotism.—New York World.
