CALAMITY HOWLtRS. tepmblicaos forced to Admit Thot Timm An OfovlB( Harder. The American Protective Tariff league may be regarded as the very citadel of Republicanism. Its president is secretary of the interior in the McKinley administration, and in the list of its members are to be found very many of the leading Republicans of the east. Its utterances are not only authoritative, but may fairly be regarded as oracular, i The league just now, as a matter of course, is extremely eager for the passage of the Dingley bill, and it bas sent out an official circular to the editors of Republican newspapers throughout the country asking them to assist in inaugurating*^ posts lcard campaign telling United States senators the wishes of the people in favor of immediate tariff legislation. ” In this circular the league says: ' "Times are growing harder every day. * * * We can have no prosperity until protection is embodied in oar laws." Here is a distinct, authoritative and official (for the president of ,the league is McKinley’s secretary of the interior) admission not only that the premist’d prosperity bas not come, bnt that ‘‘times are growing harder every day. ” Here also is the admission that the Republicans have repudiated their campaign lies to the effect that the election of McKinley and the trinmphof "sound money” would bring prosperity and that their present claim is "we can have no prosperity until protection is embodied in our laws. ’* It would be a hard enough task to humbug the people into the Belief that prosperity has come, even if it were receiving the assistance of all the other party organs and agencies. But with the leading lights of the Republican party joining the ranks of the * ‘calamity howlers” and declaring that "times are growing harder every day” and that "worse times can neveroome than those now existing,” the task is hopeless.— St. Louis Post- Dispatch.

HAVE WE PROSPERITY? Do Condition* Fulfill the Republican Promises? The wabbling St. Louis Globe-Demo crat' has been driven to the alternative of admitting tlwt its campaign prophecies of a business revival immediately after the election of McKinley were “absurd1’ and “ridiculous” or of claiming that its prophecies have been fulfilled and that prosperity has come. In choosing the latter alternative it seems to us to have made au egregious blunder. Certainly it bas chosen the alter native that will prove most damaging to its party. If the Globe-Democrat and other McKinley organs admit that the business conditions prevailing now are the prosperity they promised during the campaign, and of which McKinley was to be the advance agent, the Democrats will be quite wiiliug to rest their case on this. It will not be necessary for them to do any campaigning either in 1898 or 1900. It will be sufficient for them to hold convention * and nominate candidates. Without effort on their part their candidates will be elected by majorities so sweeping that it will be like the old race in which Eclipse was first and the rest nowhere. The people know that they were deceived in the last campaign. They are beginning to suspect that they were bunkoed. If the Globe-Democrat and other Republican spokesmen will go on asserting that the “prosperity” we are now having is the prosperity that was promised before the election, the people will no longer doubt that they were deliberately bonkoed and will in dne time make their indignation effective. ANOTHER BOND ISSUE. The Loudon Time* Predict* That a Loan Will boon Be Needed. The London Times, commenting editorially in a rather sarcastic vein upon Secretary Gage’s recent declarations as to the currency, says: “Six mouths have passed since Mr. McKinley was elected, yet nothing has been done to redeem the pledges to which the business world attached the chief importance. The uneasiness of the business community seems to have made itself felt in official circles, with the result that we have Mr. Gage’s statements, which are not much in themselves, but have a soothing effect on Wall street. “The Wolcott bimetallic mission is nothing but a device for postponing unwelcome decisions. To outside observers the government of the United States appears to be running grave risks with a wonderfully light heart It will not need a long continued drain of gold to bring the American trrtisnry face to face with the necessity of another loan.”

Hypocrisy Won’t Do. President McKinley bad John Wanamaker and that gentleman’s recent speech in mind when he said in Philadelphia recently that Che advent of the much promised era of prosperity “will not be promoted by recrimination.’* This is undoubtedly true, bnt so also is tho statement that it will not come through the policy of hypocrisy and evasion which the Republican administration is pursuing.—Exchange. On—lag tfe* Ways. There is a strong effort to postpone consideration of the sugar schedule to the end of the tariff debate. It will probably be the climax, and the fate of the other steals will be endangered by the opposition to the Vugar trust subsidy. Still, the track is being extensively greased. nUaate* Sluune. The humiliation of the great state of Illinois by its boodle legislature is the saddest event is the political history of the year.
