Special reports from the most important industrial and trade centers of nine great states west of the Alleghanies all concur substantially in saying that there has been a decided improvement in business since the tariff bill assumed its llnal shape and hie:ime assured.

The story is told in one sentence: "While nearly all of the larger factories have had bi;r forces at work all summer, it is understood that in several instances these forces are not as large now and the prospect is that they will be smaller by the beginning or middle of winter."
This is the very worst reported from
any point by correspondents who were specially cautioned to state facts without bias or coloring. From some points of great importance, St. Louis for instance, the reports are that business has not been better at this season for years. Taken all together, the reports show, to state it very moderately, that from Pennsylvania to Colorado und front tho Ohio river to Canada business hns already improved, the volume of trade is larger, and industrial ..Mablishments are doing much

As a consequence of making the imported wool absolutely free to the manufacturers and relieving them of tho payment of over SS.OOO.OOO per year, tha duties on manufactured goods havo been somewhat reduced, and we pnsent herewith a statement prepared by Deputy Appraiser Schoenhof, of New Vnrlf. which W ill enable our readers to

panded and clearings were consequently large bevond precedent. The volume of business as indicated by the
clearings is already up to the average for -some years before the speculative boom. . , In the above statement the New ork clearings aro not considered. There there is still a much smaller volume apparently than there was a year ago. Hut that is due in part to a smaller
volume of stock transactions, ami in part to the fact that the clearings of
these transactions are nun '-" through tho stock exchange clearing house and do not appear in the regular bank clearings. There is reason to believe that the volume of strictly mercantile business is increasing in New York, as it is in most other cities. There is no room at all for doubt that the country is once more on the
up grade and making rapid advance on tho road to prosperity. No such early and rapid recovery from pauie depression has occurred since 1S.7 and
1S5S, when the country was ne.c free trade than at any time since the first decade of tho century. Chicago Herald.

"What wo want, democrats or re publicans, is plenty of work and wages." These were the words of (iov. McKinley at Indianapolis, and the little Napoleon must be credited with havinc in these few words made
a better democratic speech than any other man of national repute has yet offered to the listening people of tho country. Tho common verdict will bo
that even the eloquent ami logical effort of Senator Voorhces, which briefly preceded that of the Ohio governor, was a weaker appeal for the principles of democracy than was that embodied in the single sentence above quoted. It is the concise statement of a great and impressive truth. When the republican party found its
way back to power In lS'JO, there was plenty of work and wages were good. There was an abundance of money in the Fnitcd States treasury; business was flourishing and general prosperi
ty pervaded the affairs of the country. Hut immediately afterward tho McKinley bill became a law and tho inevitable results of its practical operations manifested themselves in a retrograde movement all along the line. Husiness was prostrated and the depressing effect extended to every branch of industry. Tho contents of tho treasury were dissipated in extravagance, and popular indignation showed itself by restoring democracy to power in 1S'.-. Ac tin. dlri'ct result of this more-
the. inioiiltous McKiuley laws
were repealed, despite the power of centralized wealth to uphold them, and at once the revival of all our material interests set in. Idle factories, mills and furnaces started up. Husiness is revived. The evils springing from pernicious legislation have been largely overcome. Tho conditions which afford "plenty of work and wages" are restored. They were brought about despite the most stren
uous efforts of republican statesmanship; a fact that uo one understands better than does Gov. McKinley himself. Detroit Free Press.

The favorite in these garments is the long sleeveless cloak that will go over the large dress sleeve without .spoiling it. Over this is a long cape, plain, and not very full. This combination ia most excellent, leaving the arms. free, and completely covering the entire costume. On some rain cloaks of this description two full collarettes are seen others are plain. Another style is the triple-top instead of the plain, single cape. Some of these show the capes quite long, quite the length of the arm, while others, made like the Newmarket shape for the long garment, reach only to the
waist. , The storm mantles, hanging in folds from the neck, and ebvering the figure completely, are not so well suited to the purpose, but are preferred by many.
