Bradstreet’s weekly review of trade says that a m ovement in the direction of an expansion of the volume of business has appeared, and that the pendulum which swung in one directfou from May last year until ISM should soon be swinging in the opposite direction. Reports from the leading business centers are full of encouragement, and the general feeling is that from now on the improvement will be pro-
nounced.

The Republicans promise everything asked now-adays, in their wild endeavors to gain political advantage.

One would think to hear the Protectionists talk that their chief aim in life was to pay big wages for labor; no other conclusion could bo reached in reading their pleas for continued protection and their emphatic denouncement of the Wilson bill. The facts, however, are just to the contrary—the workmen in the protected industries do not receive as high wages, on the average, as in the unprotected industries, and the Protection Barons have continually been at war with their employes on the wage question, and at each renewal of hostilities the wages have been lowered. The Protectionist Barons are looking out for self not for the labor they employ.
The Protection Barons are not go ing to give up their hold on the money hags of the country until they are forced to. All kinds of schemes are being worked by them to prevent the repeal of the McKinley bill. For instance—the Disston Saw Factory at Tacony, Pa., has reduced wages 10 per cent., giving the Wilson Bill as u pretext. This establishment sells saws in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other foreign countries, in competition with all the rest of the world, yet it pretends that it can not exist with the tarifF reduced to 25 per cent, without reducing the wages of its workman. It would be of interest to kuow how much cheaper its products are sold in foreign countries than they are at home.
Ligonier Banner: A well known farmer and sheep raiser, and by the way a good substantial Republican, said to us the other day that nothing made him so tired as the continued talk about the tarifF causing the big decline in the price of sheep. He says that like all Industries that have been very profitable for several years, sheep raising has been overdone, and all the tariffs on earth could not have kept np the price reached fast year. Everybody became sheep crazy and kept on multiplying their stock until there must be a glut in the market, when the break came, and now these fellows are as anxious to sell as they were a few month ago to keep the stock. He says that he saw what was coming and unloaded his surplus at good prices, as he did his horses some months ago.

The republicans of Congress are much worried over the speech made by Congressman Johnson, of Ohio, who is an owner and manufacturer in the steel industry. Mr. Johnson boldly asserted that the Steel Trust, with the aid of the McKinley Tariff, robbed the consumers by charging on oruivAiely high prices for the product of the steel mills; he proved beyond doubt that steel manufacturers needed no protection ; that they could compete with the world and make money ; /that a tarifF rate one half that fixed by the McKinley Bill was not only

We fear Republican efforts in this line, in the Fifth Congressional District, will prove futile; Mr. Cooper favors the Wilson Bill, believing it will benefit the masses. As to the cause of the hard times, the charge that the Wilson Bill is responsible th“r'>fr>r i® the veriest nnn«pn a f > The hard times were upon the country before the Wilson Bill was formulated ; the financial stringency began during Harrison’s administration, and is

The next Democratic candidate for the Presidency ought to be a Western man. It may be early to do so, but certainly no harm can result fron discussion of the matter. For the last thirty y*ars every Democratic Presidential candidate has lived either in the State of New York or within one hundred miles of it. In 1864 Mc_ Clellan, of New Jersey, was the nominee. In 1868 Seymour, in 1872 Urepley, in 1876 Tilden, each of New York; in 1880 it was Hancock, claiming Philadelphia as his home but living in New A'ork; in 1884,1888 and 1892 the candidate was Cleveland. In the eight campaigns with eastern'.candidates the Democratic party was sneeessfoi huttwice All the Republican nominees, with but one exception, during the same time were from Western States, and but one of their Western candidates was defeated. The Democratic party can be successful without electoral vote of New York State, and no good reason exists why the candidates should again be an Eastern man. Fair play, if no other consideration, would suggest the naming of a Western candidate, and his name should be Daniel W. Voorheesor Claude Mat-thews-—Exchange.

Though more mills are at work and there Is more speculative buying, prices neverthe less decline. “Again, there is reported more busines In Iron and steel products, but at lower prices.
