THE TRADE REVIEW.
BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY CONTINUES DULL. Whemt BeUf Exported Very Freely far tbe Season —Little Doing In the Fabric Market, and Prices Low —Iron and Steel Slow. Dun Co.’e Weekly Review of Trade 3ays: “Business conditions have clearly improved, though .business has not. It is now the torpid season, and better prospects have little effect as yet. The signing of a compact to control foreign exchange by a syndicate, pledging the use of $750,000,000 for that purpose, may render it unnecessary to use the gold, and has given some stocks a slight advance. Gold exports have been stopped, and foreign trade is more promising of an early demand for our product. The prospects for large crops of cotton and corn are still excellent. “Two important labor contests have been settled between iron mills and puddlers, one the Brown hoisting works, at Cleveland, which • recently caused the troops to be called out. But the strike of garment workers has extended, although appearing near end. “None supposes that the exchange syndicate is interested to do more than bridge over a period in which merchandise exports has been light. But exchange in foreign trade is already in the helpful direction, domestic exports from New York having for four weeks been 17 per cent larger, while imports have been 20 per cent smaller than last year, and last week 26 per cent smaller. “Wheat is already going out with more freedom than is usual for the season, and Atlantic exports have been 1,001,119 bushels, flour included, for the week, against 900,248 last year, and for four weeks 6,564,266 bushels, against 3,422,421 last year. Western receipts are also remarkably heavy, in four weeks 13,646,736 bushels, against 2,856,445 last year, and if part is old wheat so much the greater must have been the surplus from previous crops. In any event, the free movements show that the scarcity is due to the Western farmer and holders. The market, in spite of reports indicating smaller foreign supply, reacted after a rise of a little over 1 cent, closing % cent higher for the week. “Lower rail rates helped corn to make a new record at 30.12 cents, and prospects are generally favorable. Cotton advanced by quarters on reports of injury, but there are really few who expect less than a large yield. “Several weeks of extremely slack demand for cotton orders have brought further reduction in print cloths to 2.44 cents, instead of the advance expected in consequence of the stoppage of 4,000.000 spindles, but prints are selling more freely, while brown and bleachwl goods are dull, except for export kinds. The woolen mills do not get many orders for lightweights, opening 5 to ~ x h per cent lower in price than lasc jeer, and sales of wool now reported are less than a quarter of a full week's consumption; for the week only 1,619,700 pounds, against 6,072,450 last year, and for five weeks past only 11,547,131 pounds, against 50,851,314 last year, and 38,557,150 in 1892.
“Leather is stubbornly held without change in prices, and in some grades is really scarce, although manufacturers are buying <jnly for actual needs, but hides have turned downward sharply at Chicago, declining 5 per cent for the week with heavy accumulations. “The iron industry is helped but little by the settlement which gives puddlers of the Ohio! region 50 cents advance in wages, because the demand is so light that few mills can run, and the association price is 1.2 cents, while steel bars are now being sold at less than 1.05. There is some difference between the tin soldier McKinley and the other Napoleon famed in history. It will be more noticeable after election.

A SHORT POLITICAL REVIEW.
Political Matter. Lon .Idered »Uh R.rerence to Republican Prospect.. It wag in 1884 that the republican party, after an unbroken succession of triumphs for 24 years, met with its first national rebuke. The republican leaders assigned different causes tor theii defeat, among them being a Belshazzai feast of millionaires at Delmonico’s, in which Mr. Blaine took an active part just a few days before the election, and Burchard’s penchant for alliteration when he declared that Rum, Romanism and Rebellion were all allied against republicanism. The true cause of the overthrow of the party, however, was found in the fact that the country was overrun with tramps and that, while farmers were selling their wheat for 65 cents per bushel, destitution and starvation had made their appearance with the apparent intention of remaining. In 1888 the republicans were again restored to power because the democrats were no more inclined to give the people relief than those who controlled the republican party were. Pull control of the government passed int« .republican hands March 4, 1889. The gongress which convened the following December elected Reed speaker oi the House and he made McKinley chairman of the ’Ways and Means committee. Mr. McKinley introduced hit famous bill and it became the law during the following summer. The peopl6 evidently thought more of the “free sugar” than they did of the tin plate and other protective features of the McKinley law, since they repudiated the republican policy in the ensuing congressional elections and gave the democrats control of the House by nearly 140 majority. Times waxed harder and harder, babies starved to death at Braid wood, 111., because theii ooal-mining parents could not provide them with food; Dakota farmers were humbly begging for help and a statement of their deplorable condition wat given to the public over the signature of the republican governor of theii state. Strikes, riots, lockouts and trouble generally prevailed and all thit time the policy inaugurated by the republican party was unchanged. The troubles culminated in 1892 when the McKinley law had been In undisputed control for two years, In mining riots in Arizona and East Tennessee, where laborers were shot to death by troops. In railway riots In New York where the New York National Guard disgraced humanity by shooting a boy to death and brutally stabbing him with a bayonet after he was dead and In th« awful Homestead murder, where the Pinkertons massacred workmen and were paid $5 per day for their bloody work.
The people were in a desperate hurry for relief and as the democrats had not had full control of the government since the war they turned to them for help and gave them complete power In all departments. And now the republican party, chuckling with delight over the distracted .and disheartened condition of the people, which it brazenly charges to democratic legislation, when it really is the result of democratic treachery or incompetency, believes that its way to restored power is open. Banking upon the ignorance oi forgetfulness of the people it has nominated as Its standard bearer the very man whose tariff policy had been in full force two years when the Homestead murder occurred and which the People repudiated, if they repudiated anything, in the most emphatic manner in 1892. The signs are rapMiy accumulating that the' republicans have counted without their host, and that while the disturbed and divided eondttion of the opposition may result in a republican victory, a large majority will vote against Che return of their party to power and it will never again be able to crystallize its distinct views into law. One kind of blind partlsanism is as bad as another. Principle is the only thing worth considering
Grover’s picture is turned to the wall in the house of his Democratic fathers. ... y #■% Ah international agreement free silver man is a goldbug who is ashamed Hfo>wn It *"y What little good there was in the republican party has left it and joined the people. If the poor were as dishonest as the rich the reign of anarchy would he perpetual. Maintaining the present gold standard means maintaining the present hard times. The reform movement is an uprising of the people who have got tired of being fooled. Our principles are right and will live on whether we elect our candidates this year or not. The West proposes to stop the disturbance of productive business oy abolishing the gold standard. ' San Francisco, Portland and Sacramento tj the largest three cities on the Pacific ffoast, have Populist mayors. Government legal tender paper money won’t go to Europe. It will stay at home and attend to its own business.
