The year 1910 , in ibi political aspects , is similar in many , ways to that of lS90t just twenty years ago. Then , as now , the people seemed to be undergoing a state of great un rest , and yet there was no reason for it then any more than there is now. The country was extremely prosperous in 1S90 ; there was full employment everywhere , and we enjoyed the highest wages up to that period. In re sponse to a general demand the tariff was revised and a new law called the McKinley tariff went into effect about October. There was no reason whatever why prices should be raised , but the people took the McKiuley law as an excuse aud raised the prices on every thing that went into com mon everj-day use , and the cam paign of that year was practical ly carried on by the democrats with the cry of McKinley high prices , and the democrats elected a majority in the house of repre sentatives in the fifty-second con gress. In spite of democratic claims to the contrary , the McKiuley law at once proved successful in every way and the years 1891 and 1892 were among the most prosperous ! in our history ; in fact , a Lirsre portion of President Harrison's aniiunl iueasa c of 1892 was yiveti up to a etatemrnt ol the splcmlin industrial results of the year , hut thr stilt ? of unrest was still on , urd iu November , 1892 , the people Heeled a democratic prcbidc-nt , and v/ith him a demo cratic senate and bouae of repre sentatives. Then came the aw ful octirrt ol of 1893 , ' 4 and'95 , uixuLU | > u.i.ui.d ua iuiy wcic by financial panic , industrial depres sion and general ruin throughout the country , which was stopped only by the election of McKuiloy in 1896 , and with him a republi can senate and house of repre sentatives. It is true that the Payne tariff law will have been in opeialion much longer proceeding- con gressional election ol' this year than was the McKiuley law twenty years ago , aud yet in spite ot the splendid results that h.ive followed the Payne law in the way of revenue and industrial activity , still the people are rest less , and thu high prices of the year attributable in no way to the tariff give the Democrats a chance to keep the people stirred up with the contention tha < a change would mean better condi tions all around. It is not believedhoweverthat the experience of 1890 will be re peated. While it is true that we have periodic seasons of unrest and occasional desires for a polit ical changeyet the lesson whicl we learned during the years fol lowing the Democratic victory o twenty years ago should bu a warning to the people that it would be very unsafe indeed to elect a Dcinocralc House of Hep- reseutatives this fall. If that should happen we would still have a Republican Senate aud a Kepublican President , as we did during- the Fifty-second Congress but the Democrats would play politics , as they did then , and a Democratic victory this fall might be followed by a still wid er Democratic victory two years from now , and with it the finan cial hiivoc and iuduslria Istagna tiou that always accompanies a Democratic administration. Liberal expenditures on travel , on amusement , on comfort spell a great demand for labor with rising wages. It would be absurd to deny that prices have risen in recent years or that those who live on fixed salaries or fixed in comes have had a condition rather than a 'cry" to deal with. We may , as a people , be less thrifty than we should be , but where money is freely spent there is money to earn. The money value of articles manufactured in the United States and exported in the last fiscal year was the largest ever reported , 576,000,000 greater than iu the fiscal ye r which ended June 30 , 1909. The great m- qrease in our exports of manufac tured articles shows a growth , under the greatly calumniated Paync-Aldrich tariff , -in the ight direction , the country which becomes a workshop for the world always enjoying a greater measure of prosperity than the country which merely exports agricultural products. This record , taken with the greatly increased ravenues col. icctcd under the new tariff , proves conclusively that the agitation against the new tariff is almost wholly uncalled for aud that sane and right-thinking citizens are beginning to under stand the fact. At the present rate of increase in our exports of manufactured articles within a very few years the United States will be export ing manufactured articles of a money value greater than our exports of food products and cotton , When , some twenty years ago , the prediction was made by William Wiudom , ol Minnesota , a former Secretary of the Treasury , that within twenty- five -yeura such a co.idi'ion of affairs would be brought about , ihc fulfillment of that piediction was hooted as absurd. The ful fillment ol that prcpecy ia now at uaud. Experience has taught the people of the United btatcs that they ar betttf off without every thing thai the < leimcra'.ic party iai. advocated in half a century , uid that they are bm filed by the things which it lias opposed.

DCS Moincs Capitol. flie President Working Toward Economy. President Taft is now at work ou a plan for greater efficiency in the different departments of the government to eff.'ct wide economies. He was given an appropriation by the last Con gress of $100,000 for the purpose of reorganising departmental methods. Four of the leading firms of expert accountants in the United States , including- Arthur Young & Co. , noted for their work iu Milwaukee and Madison , have been called in to formulate competitive plans and are now engaged in the necessary investr gations. The President plans the ap poiutmetit of some executive officers in each department or bureau to co-operate with the experts iu this work. Rigid economy iu government al departments will be one ot the first subjects taken up in the President's message to Congress in December. The preparation of the message has already begun. Other recommendations which iie has in mind arc for reform in federal , civil and criminal court practices , ou which he was un able to get any action during the last session ; employers' liabilily and working men's condensation acts ; changes in the government of Alaska , giving the territory a btrong voice in its internal affairs ; an appropriation for the work of the tariff board ; auti-iajunction laws ; legislation affecting stock aud bonds incase the commission of investigation for further work of the tariff board ; appropriations to' carry into effect the posta oaviugs bank law ; a centralized bureau of health , bringing al government officials who look after sanitation and publi liealth into one bureau , and such new conpensation laws as developments may show to be necessary. The fortifications o the Panama Canal and the build ing of two new battleships wii also be among the fourteen prin cipal subjects to be covered the message. One Year of the Taritf Those persors who got them selves committed against the Payne tariff act before it had a chance either to justify or con demn itself in actual practice , have no comfort from quarter to quarter , and now for the whole , year that the critics have to turn to ancient history for con solation. They must appeal from the relentless logic of results as recorded in the customs returns to the llawless logic of their own extra session speeches , as printed in the "Congressional Record" between March 15 and August 7 , 1909. 1909.What What does a year of the Payne act show ? As the Treasury De partment recites , it shows ordinary customs receipts $15,000- 000 above those of the banner fiscal year 1907 , and $75,000,000 in excess of receipt s for "any other year of our national life except 1907. " There was a deficit of $58,739,955 in the fiscal year ended June 30 , 1909 ; there is a surplus for the year just ended of more than $20,000,000 the corporation tux law , passed aa a complement of the Payne act , coutributiug $27,099,934.
