Republican Protestees Starting Up.

Now that they have accomplished the purpose for which they shut down and threw their men out of employment, the republican mill bosses and protectees generally are resuming operations, full of ani mation and buoyancy. Says a Pittsburg dispatch to a Chicago McKiuley organ: “Sim ultaneously with the announce ment of results came * notice from the Oliver <fe Roberts wire company that the rod mill would be started at once. Like many other mills, it worked only when the mill had orders. Tko employers were so well pleased over the election that orders to start np were give~. Other mill owners say they wid now replenish their stocks, and a long and prosperous period of activity is looked tor.” Miraculous! One would sup posejfrom ibis statement tl at the McKinley law was a re tdy restored an l that the mill bosses were no longer afflicted with the “ruinous d ilson bill.” But not so. That bill is with us to jtav for two mote years, at the least. Of course the mill bosses know t, and when they flies and proceed to “stock up,” and kLariouslv give out that they look for “a long and prosperous period of activity ’— wheu they cl > this avowedly be cause the election Ims gone to suit tliem they admit that there is noth ing at all ruinous about th j “fiee trade bill.” l’ney admit that they o .pect a “long and prosperous on riod of activity" under that bill, for everybody knows they can get no other bill for more than wo years. They admit that Dcither the fetr of the bill nor the bill il, self was the cause, of bard timet but that they :kemselve puippsely made times as bad as they could for electioneering putposes. There may be stme people who doubt see ijhrough the game now, but ihere will not be maDy two years he ce —Chicago Herald.
