THE SUPREME QUESTION.
The democratic leader in th<
house of repsesentatives said in i
recent speech that “there is just om
question in the minds of the Ameri
can people, and that one question ii
prosperity.” He was right. Fron
one end of this great country to th<
other all classes of the people an
anxiously awaiting the full return o:
prosperity. It is the subject o:
supreme interest to the manufac
turer, the merchant, the profession^
man and the workingman. Th<
long period of depression, of loss t<
oapital and to labor, of disaster t<
nearly every form of productive
enterprise, has become most oppres
sively tiresome. It is true that the
situation is not so bad as it has been,
It is very much better than last year,
when the country was confronted bj
a danger to its monetary system anc
uncertainty as to the result of t.h<
contest between sound money and
unsound money intensified financial
distrust and business depression,
There is now confidence that there
will be no disturbance of the mone
tary standard for at least four years
and there is not the extreme con
servatism m financial circles thal
prevailed before the presidential
election. Money is not so hard tc
get for legitimate purposes. There
is also greater industrial activity.
More mills and i factories are in
operation now than a year ago and
there is considerably less idle laboi
in the oonntry. The railroads gen
erally report a material improve
ment in earnings, the postal reve
nues have increased and there arc
other evidences that the situation it
better than a year ago, or indeed foi
several years.
But prosperity is not so genera]
and complete as it was five yean
ago, before the people made the
great mistake of turning the contro]
of the government over to the demo
oratio party, and all interests want i
return of the prosperous condition)
of that time, when capital founc
profitable investment and labor wai
fully employed and well paid. Ii
this attainable? We have a large)
population to feed and clothe that
, five years ago, there are still vas
, resources to be developed, th<

are as good now as they have eve:
been. This being so there can bi
no doubt that general prosperity ii
attainable.
The one thing essential to it
attainment is a judicious eoonomii
system, under which American in
dustries and American labor wil
not be subjected to a destructive
foreign competition. The republi
can party was voted into power las
November to provide such a system
The plain mandate of a majority o
the people was that the democrati
tariff must go, to be replaced by
tariff on repuplican lines Unt
this is accomplished a return of gen
oral prosperity cannot be expect o<
It is irrational to assert, as some d<
that prosperity can be attaine
under the existing tariff in view c
the experience since it went int
operation.
It is not the fault of the republ
can party that there is still sons
depression and that the return <
general prosperity is delayed. Tfc
representatives of the party in coi
grass have responded to what the
regarded as the command of
majority of the people and the r<
sponsibility for delay in giving tl
country the legislation necessary I
bring back prosperity does not ra
with them.—Omaha Bee.
r THE REVIVING WEST.
Kansas, California and Colorado
were the states that first felt the
1 forceful sweep of panic. They are
r the first to revive ’ from its dire
* effects. The news from all these
" states, but especially from Colorado,
r is encouraging. None of them truly
can be described as riding on the
. crest of any wave of prosperity, but
, in all of them there is discernable a
/ quickening of business and a restor
, ation of confidence in the near
} approach of good times.
I The output of the Cripple Creek
, mines for April was in excess of
^ $1,000,000, and for the four months
, ending May 1 was double that of the
like period of 1805. The Leadville
mines are reported as more active
than at any time since the “boom
days” of 1878 and 1879. The group
* of mines known as the “Downtown,”
1 that filled with water during last
» year’s strike, are being pumped out
- and will be clear of water and ready
1 to resume operations by September.
1 The Gilpin county mines are ship
* ping more ore to the smelters at
> Idaho Springs than ever before, and
* the mines of the Gunnison district
* are unusually ative.
Passing from mining to the farm
1 ing interests of Colorado, the intelli
1 gence is equally comforting. Large
1 profits are being derived from the
1 sale of hogs, cattle and sheep that
1 have been fattened on alfalfa. The
abundant rains and snows of the
1 winter have insured an abundant
supply of water for irrigation, and
the fruit crop gives promise of un
usual abundance.
Wholesale dealers in Denver re
1 port an increase of 40 per cent, over
the spring sales of 1896. Six thou
sand names have been added to the
city directory during the year, which
is indicative of an increase of about
20,000 to the population. Houses
and stores again are in good'demand

The revival of trade and agricul
ture in the west sooner or later will
have a beneficial effect upon the
business of the more eastern centers
of distribution.—Inter Ocean
