"I used to know your part of the country, end I k.iow that you nie the only surviving member of that pood old llardnian stock. Never Blind how I came to know jt.

DESPAIR OF REPUBLICANS. Dlaappvlatneat ami l.irk of t'oaran Mtiam I ii f . At aome rialt of being; accused of party luh. vv ,u niiiess the Bcpublio de precutes the disposition tin the part of

n.any republicans to take a gloomy view of the business situation and to ninke bitter c omplaint of the fuilure of the republican administration to realize the glowing; ante-election predictions of prosperity indulged in by udvanre agnate and press agents of the Henna aj ndieato, It is true that the existing situation ia not encouraging. 1'he general bank clearances, in sharp COn treat with u large gain in St. Louis, indicated n fallilij,' off in business last week. Hcports from the industrial centers, particularly in Pennsylvania and Olro, the states most favored by protect ion, show temporarily, at least, an intensification of Ijii: iness depression resulting in the reduct ion of wages and prodrction, and iu an increase of business fuilures.

Hut tie., t .suits arc in great measure caused by apecial rather than general business conditions. Much of it can be traced to the wholesale tariff tinkering of the republicans in congress. The conditions favorable to business reaction, which the Kcpublic has pointed out, still exist. We have sold an enormous quantity of stufl' abroad, and have an easy treasury and a gn at balaneeof trade in our favor. Exceptionally fine crops of garden producta luive been marketed, and the prospect of the grain and cotton crops, except in a few localities, was never better, if the republicans hail refrained from business-disturbing legislation these favorable conditions, despite the opposing influence of a bad monetary system, would have resulted in a mea.sure of business relief. The republicans deliberately and in the face of solemn warning took the one step sure to prevent a return to prosperity by yielding to the pressure In favor of tariff legislation for the benefit of the bounty grabl era, There are truth and justice, therefore, in Mr. W anamaker's arraignment of the republican party for promising immediate prosperity and then doing nothing to help it along. While the gloomy bitterness expressed by him

A tap came at the door und my lovely young wife walked into the room. I was looking1 nnd feeling confused. "I have been gh ing1 Jack some wholesome advice, my dear." said Sharp, coming to my rescue.

The breakfast was over. The company had consisted of (irac ie, her uncle and myself; we had entertalned no wedding guests. My wife had gone upstairs to prepare for our departure.

In the tariff bill as it stands and as it is to be "jammed through" by 'the senatorial combine there arc three prin

The wool duties will levy a heavy tribute on all the people'a clothing and blankets, but tin y will placate the wool growers of a few states and secure the reelection of the senators who force their adoption. The duty on hides w ill aerioiisly cripple the export leather industries of the country and add largely to the prion the people must pay for boot-, shoes and all other leather goods.

The merciless advance of McKinley prosperity goes steadily on. Danks close, workingmen are thrown out of employment, and times grow harder and harder. Thr people misled last fall by specious promises are realizing day by day the result of the false movement that put the present niüTjinistrntion in power. A great revulsion sets In, and the end is not far to seek. Kvcry succeeding opportunity for expression of public opinion at the polls will produce overwhelming democratic gains. The people, tired of empty promises, will turn from the party that is friendly only to Wall street, to the party that is friendly ever to the people, because it is of, from, and always with them. The only hope for the future of the plain people, whether in national. late, or municipal affairs, is in the return to supremacy of the parte of the people, the democracy of the United States.

Another leading fepublican editor said: "The people await the nighl of November 3 for the wires la send a thrill through the country thai wid set in motion me millions of men now idle." HOW w ere tbCM prophecies and promises fulfilled? For a few weeks after election, although the wave of prosperity did not appear, employers, self-deluded butexpedtant, made an cuts in wages and kept their forces of men. Then, finding that trade did not revive, that capital did not come forth from its hiding places, and that "confidence" had not bo an u red, numbers of employer! and corporations began the proccsaof reducing wages and curtailing expenses

that is inevitable under the gold standard, and the process has been going on ever since. Here are a few of the reductions reported, and which are enumerated by the Pftet-THepettih. showing "how prosperity came:" Beginnbig promptly with the newyear the following firms cut wages or shut down their works, in many cases forcing their employes into strikes: Illinois Steel company, cut wages, Horn Coal company, DuQuoin, 111., cut wages; Mueller A- Hellman'a Shoe company, cut wages; Maple Hill mines, Harum.
