PROSPERITY STILL REIGNS _ Democratic Efforts to Breed Distrust Have So Far Proved Futile. REBUKE FOR THE CALAMiTY HOWLERS Railway Traffic Is Heavy, New Factories Are Being Erected, and Iron and Steel Mills Are Crowded with Orders. % There is an effort on the part of some Democratic newspapers and a few blat ant orators to create lack of confidence in the public mind by saying the coun try is going to the bad: that great in dustries are shutting down; that the railways are retrenching, instead of im proving roadbed and equipment; that no new factories are being constructed: that thousands of working people are idle and that Republican prosperity is a myth. These statements are so pal pably false or so greatly exaggerates! that intelligent persons are not misled by thern. but there is 500.000 In improving Its passenger station at Baltimore; the 'Wabnsh-Pitts burg Terminal Is erecting a >75.000 freight house at Pittsburg.

McFatrieh. editor of the Third Ward Republican, a Chicago publi cation. says: "It may be that former Senator Henry Gassaway Davis is planning to have his money talk for him during the campaign. It is only on this hypothesis that his re ply to the notification address of John Sharp Williams can be satisfactorily ex plained. The octogenarian vice presiden tial candidate of the Democracy at the White Sulphur Springs function indicat ed that he is sadly deficient, in so far as present is«up' are concerned. He had nothing to say upon any of the questions which interest the voters of both parties. A careful reading of his address fails to disclose where he stands oil any vital issue. "The man who is popularly supposed to carry the State of West Virginia around in a shawl strap had not a word to say regarding the trusts. He omitted an allusion to labor and capital. So far as the speech indicates there is no such thing as the Philippine question. He had nothing to say about the tariff, lie is certainly old enough to have heard of the Monroe doctrine, but not a line of this important bit of Americanism can be found in his speech. For all he says there is no such thing as the Panama (anal and the closest observer cannot barn whether he believes in the open door or reciprocity or any of the things which men discuss. And has not Fnole Gassaway heard of the United States navy? "For a speech which was looked for ward to as a sort of keynote essay, the utterance of the old gentleman with the barrel is a great disappointment to the Democrats. To the Republicans it is merely an evidence of the fact that Mr. Davis does not possess, at his advanced age. the necessary mental equipment to properly appreciate the great public ques tions which must confront the next pre siding officer of the Senate. "Of course. Uncle Gassaway is a thor oughly respectable old gentleman. lie is also possessed of much wealth and for a man who has slipped over the So mark is well preserved and active. Rut there is a vast difference between minding his own personal business and attempting at the sunset of life to take a hand in the strenuous work of conducting the great affairs of a big nation. As Vice President Henry Gassaway Davis will not do.” The Lone Fisherman. It is only one of the curiosities of an American national campaign the result of which is foreordained, but it arouses more than a slight degris* of interest. Where is the Lone Fisherman, the man who has been twice President of the United States? Where is he. and what is he going to do between the present time and the 8th of November? What is he thinking about—this Ix>ne Fisherman, and what are his inclina tions? We are all interested in him as we should be interested in any ex-Presi dent of the United States. aud. being interested, we have also a curiosity. What about Cleveland? Is that portiy and forceful old gentleman going to have anything to do with politics this year, or is he simply intent npon the considera tion of the subject of lines, bait, and all that sort of thing? The impression seems to prevail, and one apparently justified, that the Sage of Princeton is not much interested in the Sage of Esopus. The Sage of Princeton has at least a certain caliber, and the two men do not fit. Still, we all want to know what the Lone Fisherman is going to do. “The Republican party will be found espousing those is«ues and thoae questions which make for the sta bility, the honor and the welfare of the country.”—Senator Fairbanks at Ind.an apolii, December 11, 1MXX Jndge Parker is said to have written his financial views so as to not offend Bryan. He voted that way, too, a couple of times. SOME Cbbii'AFtiSONS CONDITION OF TREASURY UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS.

MR. HILL’S RETIREMENT. It la Kortunat* for Him. bat Its Man ner Is Not the Beat. David Bennett Hill announces that he will at tlie end of his sixty-first year re tire from politics, but that lie will take a fiarr in the present campaign. The mis take that .Mr. Dili makes is that he does not retire now. This is one of the things lie said in his recent opening campaign spee.'h at Binghamton. New York: That vast corruption exists in malty de le) it incuts of ilii* Federal (roveriiiucut Is virtually conceded. It has been declared often that more corruption tins been dis closed during the last four years than dur ing the whole previous period of our his tory. Therefore it must exist, or it could uoi lie disclosed, i 'onvletiou* for frauds, hnwci or. can be counted on one's fingers. The Republican party tends toward social ism when il advocates the right to build up our man's business at the expense of the community. What the American people demand is a free field and a fair contest in the race of life. It is perhaps fortunate for Mr. Hill that lie lias decided to disappear from politics. It is m ist unfortunate, for his sake, that in his speech, practically open ing the campaign on the Democratic side, he should have been guilty of polit ical falseh »od. That is not the manner in which a good American should sing his swan song. All men should he fair. Mr. Hill de clares tint enormous corruption exists under the present Republican adminiotm iion. and intimates vaguely that the Re publican party is responsible for any evil which may have occurred. He refers "specially to frauds of the Postoffice De partment. and there were some frauds. We at lea-t admit this. Into every great party will necessarily lie ingrafted some thieves. What has happened in the I'isited States following the discov ery that some officials of the I’ostoffiee Department were indirectly stealing? What his happened is this: The Republican party punishes its own thieves and throws them out of it ranks. What happened to the men who stole under the present administration? They ire already wearing stripisl clothes and doing the lockstep in various locali ties. Could there he a better proof of t!i< soundness anti honesty of the present administration in that it punishes its own sinners, and. very properly, punishes them to the utmost. David Bennett Hill, in intimating that there has been unpunished crime among the vassals of the party which is conduct ing the affairs of this government just now, is guilty of jiolitical trickery and isditical falsehood of the baldest kind. It is very earnestly to be regretted that an exceedingly clever American should mar the circumstances of his exit from political life by expressions of what are not facts, and of a sort never coun tenanced by the greatest leaders of great parties. What Mr. Hill wiid at Bing hamton cannot mar the outlook of the Republican 'party one jot or tittle, but it can mar the respect which the American people held, aside from all party lines, for one of the shrewdest of politicians. YOUNG DEMOCRATS Those Wh» Voted for McKinley Prob ably Will Support Roosevelt. (Kansas City Star, Independent.) Some allowances must be made, of course, for the optimistic representations of politicians at the approach of every great election. It is a part of the game to manifest confidence, even if the policy of ‘'claiming everything” has been dis credited by the best political managers. But the declaration that, according to more or less careful canvasses, those young Democrats who bolted Bryan and voted for McKinley will remain in the Republican party, is quite plausible. Those old Democrats in whom the party spirit is still strong in spite of the trying alignment of the Democracy four and eight years ago. may be expected to re turn to the fold pretty generally this year: but there is nothing except jmrti san feeling to draw them, and this does not exist to any great exrent among thp jounger generation, especially among those who hove already broken over the lines to vote for a Republican Presi dent. « Indeed, President Roosevelt appeals with especial force to the young men of the natiou. Considering his achieve ments, he is still a young man himself. He is in intimate sympathy with the spirit of early manhood. He is vigorous in mind and body, and Is active in both. He is strongly progressive. His leader ship has been inspiring to all classes, but more especially to those in whom ambition is assertive. His policies ap peal forcefully to those who would make a stronger and a better nation. He stands for those reforms that are regarded as essential to the perpetuity of personal liberty nnd civic righteousness. The belief that President Roosevelt, in his splendid fulfillment of an obligation assumed as a result of accident, has earn ed an election at the hands of the people he has served, is especially strong in the hearts of the younger generation of vot ers. The Democratic argument this year should he printed in the humorous col umns. It is, in brief: “You need not be afraid of us. for if we elect a Presi dent and the House, the Republican Sen ate will keep us from doing any dam age.” “Growth ia the lew of oar national, ■octal and Industrial being. We have not yet reached the limit of the Divine pnrpose. Tomorrow will be greater and more splendid then today.”—Senator Fairbanks, at St. Pant, August St, IMS. Whenever the Democratic party has had the power it haa attacked and de stroyed the policy of protection for American industries. WHEN HILL WILL QUIT. ! David lieu nett Hill says bo will abac* don politics when Parker is elected.] 1 When Parker is elected,” Mr. David Bennett Hill I Announces that his speaking voice will suddenly grow still: He says that for rude politics he really shall not care. When Parker has been planted in the Presidential chair— j O, gentle reader, with alarm do not grow cold and stiff; There’s much of virtue in that ''When,” as Shakespe-ike said of "if.” “Y.’Iieii Parger is elected”—it’s a strik ing trait of Dave’s That always in his statements there’s a little phrase that saves. You see. it would have sounded like an unexpected joke Had he said he’d retire the day that Davis said: “Pm broke.” ! “WHTDN Parker is elected, I shall put campaigning by.” Was how lie emphasized it, and he wink ed the other eye. When Parker is elected, then the stars will shine at noon. And we will shovel snow along about the month of June, The birds will put on trousers and the crocodiles will sing, The frogs will lie electing Mr. Stork to be their king. And when these things have happened, if you think to notice it— "WHRN Parker is elected.” David Bennett Hill will quit. “When Parker is elected”—why. he might as well have said That he’d be chasing ballots when the rest of us are dead, And that we’d hear him talking when the Last Day’s trumpet called, Or that he’d drop his scheming when he ceased from being hailed. When Parker is elected—he will quit, and also then We’ll learn that David Bennett Hill is growing hair again. ROOSEVELT AS PRESIDENT. Some of the Prominent Achievement* of the Administration. (Chicago Tribune.) What, positively, has he (Roosevelt) accomplished ? Ho has handed over to Cuba the gov ernment of the Cuban republic. He settled the anthracite coal strike which for half a year had demoralized the industries of the country. When Great Britain, Germany and Italy were attacking Venezuela he in duced them to desist, thus preserving the inviolability of the Monroe doctrine. The three commissioners appointed by him to discuss the Alaskan boundary question gained a complete victory for the American contention. The Cuban reciprocity treaty, which had been defeated by one Congress, was passed in a subsequent special session, because Roosevelt insisted. By the creation of a bureau of com merce and labor, for which his influ ence is solely responsible, the President has taken the first definite steps toward the solution of the trust problem. Light will be let in on the management of the trusts. Then, when their evils art' defin itely. not vaguely, ascertained a proper corrective can be applied. The door to China’s trade has been kept wide open to our trade. But the most enduring benefit the President has brought to the country has been the assurance that the Panama canal would be finished. In the isthmian imbroglio the President acted always within the treaty rights of this nation; his official conduct was eminently cor rect. But were it not for his exceptional adroitness and vigor during the crisis the prospect of the interoceanie canal would still be years in the future. For nearly 400 years man lias dreamed of piercing the American isthmus. But it remained for President Roosevelt to bring these dreams within sight of realization. His tory will record his connection with the Panama canal as the most momentous feature of his first term. Thus Theodore Roosevelt has been an upright and painstaking, vigorous and useful, honest and patriotic President. It seems both wiser and fairer for tiie American people to re-elect him rather than to elevate in his place an untried jurist, who, however exemplary his per sonal character, has had practically no experience whatsoever to tit him for the most difficult position in the world. "Why Change? Why should there be a change in the national admini<*tration? What’s the matter with Roosevelt? Has anything gone wrong? Has k been necessary to issue tmuds to pay the running expenses of the government? Is there any money in the treasury? Has the soup house as sert etl its supremacy since the palmy days of Grover? Has Theodore Roose velt M rayed any trust reposed in him. or has he manifested any symptoms of spinal affection? Has the soA'slled I)em ocratm party advanced any assurance to the American people that they are any more iwoticient in the twentieth century than they were in the nineteenth? Oan they satisfy the honest, industrious, pro ducing citizens of America that they seek for anything but to again grasp the sur plus and again empty the treasury, as they have oil every previous opportunity? Farmers Ignore 1 by Democrat*. The Democrats of Kansas, in making up their State tkket, have entirely ig nored the farmer. The Republicans nominated two of the leading farmers of the State as Rs Iroad Commissioners. Seven out of thirteen nominations, in cluding Governor, on the Democratic ticket ara lawyers, while the Republicans only recognized the lawyers in the nom ination of Attorney General, jndges of Supreme Court, and one member of the Railroad Commission. The policy of ig noring the farmer, which the Democratic National Committee is reported to have announced, is carried out with a ven geance by the Democrat* of Kansas. Balfour, the prime minister of Eng land, in a speech delivered at Sheffield, declared that Cobden, the apostle of free trade, was “a great man, bat he failed to foresee the developments of the last half century which had made free trade an empty name and a vain farce.” The element which leads and domi nates the Democratic party to-day stands not for tariff for revenue, but for ulti mate free trade. There Is ao use tryiig to dodge that fact. The workingmen of America most take note of h.
