HE IS “UP AGAINST IT ’I BRYAN’S WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE BARRED. Beatrldlng the Demo-Top Donkey, "Tree Silver and Tree Trade," Ilia Datli Is So Obstructed liy the Solid Wall of Substantial Trosperlty. One of the most impressive among (he many showings of prosperity with which the American people are nowa days so frequently regaled after two full years of restored protection, Is that made in the news columns of the New York Sun of July 29. With Its characteristic enterprise and sagacity the Hun, always keenly alive to matters of genuine public interest, has gath ered from correspondents In various business tenters some very significant facts as to the abnormal activity which prevails among the railroads of the United States. No one needs to be told that when the great inland transporta tion systems are rushed with business and straining to Increase their facili ties to meet an Increased demand, everybody else must be extremely busy. Railroad business Is a sure Index of general business. From Chicago the report is that every railroad entering that city today needs more cars than It has or can get to meet the demands of shippers. This condition Is not due to any great o"d sudden Increase in any particular ti'Hi flc, but Is due to the steady growth of all kinds of waffle. From all Indica tions the year 1899 will eclipse all for mer years in the volume of business done by the railroads., Last year was one of prosperity for the railroads, the Increase In traffic as compared with that of several years previous being considered almost phenomenal, but there la almost as great an Increase In earnings so far this year over those of the corresponding period of last year us was the case of 1898 over 1897. All the railroads which build their own freight cars have kept full forces at work In the shops, but they could not turn out cars fast enough to supply the demand, and orders were placed with car manu facturing companies which will keep most of them busy for the remainder of the year, If not longer. Here is a curiously suggestive fact stated by an official of one of the big Western railways: “More pianos were shipped over our road from Chicago fo the West and Southwest in the last three months than the entire number In the years from 1893 to 1897. This Is good proof of the prosperity of the farmer, for a piano is a luxury In which he does not Indulge as soon as he gets a few hun dred dollars ahead. Our traffic in farming machinery was never so large as It has been this year and our crop reports made It certain that the invest ments In machinery were well made." When the farmers buy pianos they are "on Easy street.” No doubt of that. Another railroad manager said: “If we could borrow or hire from 5,000 to 10,000 box cars we could find immediate UEe for all of them.” At Detroit an official declared that in twenty years his road has "never seen a condition like the present. Ordinar ily at this time of the year we are not burdened with a surplus of business and rather havo difficulty in finding a glace to store our empty freight cars than to employ all our energies to find cars enough to carry the business offered to us. We are certainly behind on a visible eupply of cars requisite to carry the freight which we can get without any solicitation.” Baltimore reports a scarcity of care with which to move the tremendous business present and prospective. At Buffalo the freight traffic Is far in ex cess of the supply of cars. Thousands of extra cars could be used, but they are not to be found. At Philadelphia a trunk line official testifies to a great increase on all the lines of his road Speaking of the lines cast of Pittsburg, he said: "I am convinced that the present prosperity Is lasting for the reason that the Increase cf business is not confined to a particular locality. It is general. For instance, on all the sta tions of our road there is a substantial l>etterment. Some of the offices report an lucrease of 7 per cent, others 15 per cent, many from 50 to 75 per cent, some 100 per cent, and one as high he 216 per cent. ‘ While, a« these reporta show, our business is much in excess of that of last year, we have not experienced any grant difficulty In getting rare to handle the freight thus far. but thore will be a scarcity of cars In the latter part of September or October. Mow serious It will be I have no means of telling at thla time. As a matter or fact we have very largely Increased our equipment thla year, and of coorne. that haa aided u* In handling the In creased business, but In some kind* of cars there has already been n scarcity."

HAVEMEYER’S INCONSISTEN CIES. Hr Want* Free Trade In Hhw Hugar a* a Mean* of lnrrea*ln|t HI* I’roltt*. The frpe-trade papers hrve been at tempting to gain comfort from the statements of President Havemeyer of the sugar trust, before the national In dustrial commission, but can only do so by separating a few of his state ments from his whole testimony. The protectionists are willing for the peo ple to consider Ihe whole of llave meyer’s testimony, for It proves that he is seeking Ihe elimination of the tariff on raw sugar In order that the sugar trust’s profits may he made larg er! That fact la made prominent by his statement: ‘‘The protection on sugar amounts only lo 3'^ per cent. It ought to be twice as much.” He also said: “Congress should put an internal revenue tax on the production of Amer ican sugar.” He stated that his com pany has 11,000 stockholders, and his admissions show that the company's business is not profitable, but It has made many millions of dollars by the sale of stock. Thosp who were In the company be fore Ihe stock was enormously inflat ed have made millions, tail it is proba ble that the new stockholders of the sugar trust will receive very small, If any, dividends. Mr. Havemeyer closed his testimony with a protest against the tariff dis criminations against sugar, and Insist ed that “those discriminations against sugar are entirely due to the feeling against combinations in business"! He said that his company "is in the cof fee business to stay," yet there is no tariff on coffee, and the coffee trust has been able to double the prices of cof fee during recent years! The coffee trust is able to control the coffee trade of the world, and, notwithstanding all the squabbling between companies composing the trust, they are making enormous profits on the sale of coffee and stocks. The sale of stock has been the chief source of profits for all trusts, and when they cannot sell stocks at good profits the downfall of the trusts is at hand. Protectionists are entirely willing for the people to consider the whole of Havemeyer's tes timony, for it is only further proof that a sufficient tariff must be maintained to protect American labor. Home com petition Is the only safe regulator, and that competition will destroy about all trusts as soon as the trusts are unable to make enormous profits on the sale of stock. If you own stock in any trust now Is a good time to sell, for It is possible that it will not be many months before your stock will not be worth more than its value as waste pa per,— Des Moines (Iowa) State Regis ter. In llrysn's Mute. A dispatch from Omaha says: “The Industrial situation through thta part of the Missouri valley la In dicative of the general prosperity that appeara to prevail throughout the en tire west.

On June 10 the Iron, steel and tin trust raised the wages of their employes 25 per cent. The raise takes effect Im mediately and affect* directly 45,000 employes. This is glad tidings to la bor. The advances are the largest made in the history of the Amalga mated association, and the wages for the year will be the highest since 1892. The tin pail brigade of the great man ufacturing district* of the eastern states have already opened the cam paign of 1900 and are chouting: “Mc Kinley has kept hla promise—now we'll keep ours.” This augurs well for republican success In 1900, and would indicate that the calamity howler will not be much in demand In the next presidential campaign.” The same news comes front Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Ixjuis and the other trade renters. All over New Kngland the mills and factories are running on full time, and the employes are re ceiving better pay. It i» a McKinley era of prosperity and to the president the people give the credit.—Springfield (Mass.) Union. Produce u Remedy. As to the political responsibility for trusts there is none. Trusts are no more Republican or Democratic than are ordinary business combinations on a small scale. Their friends and ene mies, their beneficiaries and victims, are in all parties, and they thrive in England and Germany as well as In America. In the eastern rural dis tricts, where the heaviest Republican vote exists, Lhe warfare upon trusts Is waged with more vigor than Is evi denced in Democratic cities, where the bulk of the laboring population is in some way dependent on Industrial pur suits. Produce a remedy for the evil and the Republican party will be as quick to take It up and press it as any other. Nor will it be lex* assiduous in search of a remedy. With things In this position how is 11 possible to draw campaign lines? People who are agreed cannot divide and fight; when two par ties are equally solicitous to “smash the trusts” how is one, unless It pre sents a remedy which the other rejects, going to profit by the issue? The great trouble Is that no one has a remedy. The federal law is neces sarily limited In its application; the state laws have uniformly failed. Hat the Democracy anything new to sug gest? If It has not Its slogan of “smash the trusts!” will be as mean ingless and Inconsequential as one to wipe out the grip or abolish the measles.—San Francisco Chronicle. W’hf Trust Them?

For downright stupidity commend us to the fusionists of Nebraska. Pass ing by t he splendid material in their ranks they picked up the crookedest stick they could find, and amid the violent protests of the decent element in the parties they forced Holcomb to the front for a seat on the bench of the Nebraska supreme court. From a republican standpoint, the work of the deino-pop aggregation at Omaha is eminently satisfactory. In the first place not more than half of the delegates were on hand, uml a whole lot of skirmishing was indulged in to “till out" delegations with local and visiting fusionists. A showing had to he made some how. and this was the most convenient. After a bit of labor in this direction u fairly good showing was made in the pop and democratic conventions. In the free silver rep publican convention hull the 00 or 100 delegates present would have felt lost had it not been for < hurley Wooster’s elegant side whiskers. Nearly ten hours were fooled away “getting to gether." as there was a whole host of recalcitrant, bucks who were opposed to the ehieftainey of “Slippery Si," and these had to Im* whipped into line lie fore the great council could proceed. However, Hryan and Allen were thcie and everywhere all forenoon and all afternoon, and their labors in behalf of Holcomb bore fruit when the elans gathered after supper, and .Si s nomination was railroaded through according to plans and specifications agreed upon. Hilly Neville was there, too. It wouldn't do for one inctn)x-r of the tripartite trust of Allen.

His decision will be anxi ously awaited by bis popocratic brethren.

One of the amusing features of ihc conventions was the adoption of a res olution against passes. The free silver republicans started the hall to rolling, and the others took it up with u more or less gingerly grasp. They considered It dangerou- hut evi dently thought that their stand on passes would lie considered a straddle if they accepted the resolution and nomi nated the champion puss grubber of the state for supreme judge.

While thus resting in the arms of Morpheus, he had the follow ing dream: The general in his dream died, anil wending his way upward to the outer gate, he knocked with con siderable confidence, feeling that his war record should give him open-se same to the courts above. As the sound echoed through the corridors and died away in the distance, the gate was opened ami the general was asked what he wanted. He replied that he hud lately attended a political conven tion, went home disappointed and died, and now he desired to escape from the buffeting and sorrows of the work by entering within the gates of the golden city. St. Peter asked the general his politics, and when lie re plied that he was a populist, lie was informed that parties of that political faitli were not permitted to enter, hut tlutt he could go round on the bluffs overlooking the city and ga/.e on the happy conditions within. Slowly und sorrowfully the general wandered uround and took his sent on a big boulder high up on the bluffs over hanging the walls. Imagine his sur prise when lie saw .fudge Neville ming ling with the happy throng. (Jrostly astonished the general went hack to the gate, and when St, Peter came he said he noticed Neville inside, und that lie was a populist and had beaten lit in for the nomination for congress. St. Peter smiled and said t hat since Nev ille was nominated and before he died lie had changed Iiin political belief und joined the Salvation army, that being the only party that Neville had not joined at some period of his life. Then the general turned and walked slowly down the pathway, reflecting on the uncertainties of life and the fickleness of iiumuii nature. Afraid It Will (let Away. Sewnnl ({(-porter.

He is therefore making strenuous efforts to hold his forces in line. Harvey has been sent out be cause bis book had a great effect in Nebraska in 180ft.
