ployed In the various trades. In some
localities the sudden demand for labor
oxeeeds the supply. The Improvement
In Industrial and labor conditions Is not
conilticd to I lie custom ami middle
stales. It Is HI en In California and some
other far western slates.
This Is but the beginning. Aminunro-
ineutK arc made of Industries to start
up anil other * to increase their capacity
which Insure a greater demand for labor
during the next thirty days than 1ms
already taken place , so that before the
close of tin ; year II. Is safe to say that
fully : ! UO.OIN ) wage-workers who were
earning nothing before the election will
be at wmk. It Is also In be noted that
thin labor Is being employed without
any reduction of wages and In some
cases at nn Increase , especially for
skilled labor. Consider what this means
In the enlarged distribution of money
and Iherefrire In the purchasing power
of tlie people. Assume that the average
annual earnings of lids labor Is ? ! < > < > .
which Is considerably less limn It win
four years ago , and we have $ i' 0.000.0'.iO
added lo Hi" wage account already since
the election , with the assurance that
Hits will be at least doubled before the
end of the yea' ' , orf rjn.iHMM ( ( ) ( ) annually
be added lo the pnrchaslng power of the
people. The Industrial tcsnmpllon will
not slop there. The spring of IS ! 17 will
wlliicss a furllii-r demand for labor In
all directions in manufacturing. In
Iransporlalioii. In building nnd In public
Improvements , so that it Is reasonably
assured that by next summer practically
all Die labor in the country , especially
skilled labor , will be employed. When
that Is done the consuming capacity of
the people will be very materially In
creased and ( here will be a belter home
market for agricultural products than
there has been for several years. Al
ready ( he policy of opening tlie mills
has recflved most completit vindication.
I'.ut this Is no ! the only vindication
of the republican contention. It prom
ised a full restoration of conlldencc and
It has come. There is an nbnndance
of money for every legitimate demand.
The supply of gold Is found to bi > In ex
cess of tin' demand , since the people do
not waul it for general circulation , nnd
the banks at Hie llnanclal centers are
prepared to furnish gold for export as
ll may be needed , so that the treasury
reserve , now considerably In excess of
the .fHMt.llllll.dlM ) limit , shall not be
drawn upon. Not since IS'.KJ have the
banks before been disposed to do this.
It Is highly probable that In the near
future the practice that prevailed until
KS'.M * . of the government and the banks
seltllng balances between them In gold ,
will lie renewed , thus affording further
protection to the treasury reserve.
\Vlllt these fads before him can any
rational man doubt the wisdom of the
American people In sustaining tlie sound
money cause ? Hut It Is said by the
free silver leaders , who are compelled
to acknowledge these conditions , that
they cannot be perpetuated. It Is snill
dent answer to this that we had such
conditions almost uninterruptedly from
the resumption of specie payments to
IS'.V ' ' and there Is no valid reason why
we may not have them for a longer
period If the country continues faithful
to sound money and protection. It Is
tlm avowed purpose of the free sllver-
lles to destroy these conditions , If pos
sible , by continuing llic'Ir agitation , but
the attempt will be hopeless. That
cause Is weaker by a million voters
today than It was a week ago and It
will steadily decline under the Inllii-
ence of a rising and expanding pros
perity.

Members of tin- Canadian cabinet who
were In the I'lilted ' Slates last week are
reported to have slated that the domin
ion government will endeavor to open
negotiations looking to reciprocity soon
after the Installation of the next admin
istration. It appears that they do not
regard the fact that President-elect Me-
Klnley is a protectionist us being
against Canada's chances of obtaining a
reciprocity treaty. In view of. the fact
that the republican national platform
declares for reciprocity. It is certainly
a fact that the republican parly Is fully
committed to that principle , but not as
it has been hitherto Interpreted by the
Canadians , and unless they are able to
take a somewhat broader view of it than
has been the case the chances of nego
tiating n treaty with the next adminis
tration will not be great.
It Is probable that the liberal govern
ment now In control In Canada will be
disposed to offer better proposals to our
government than Its predecessor did. It
will be remembered that two efforts at
negotiation were made during the Harrison
risen ndmtuistratlon , both of them fallIng -
Ing because the Canadian authorities
were not prepared to abandon tariff dis
crimination In favor of UrltMi imports.
Their unwillingness or inability to do
this reduci'd their proposal of reciprocity
to little more than the free exchange of
natural producls and having had an ar
rangement of this kind , which operated
to ( lie disadvantage of the I'liltcd Slates
and was for that reason abrogated , our
government declined to consider tlie pio-
posal. II may be doubled whether tin-
other effort to negotiate a treaty will be
more successful and for the sainu rea
son. It Is true that reciprocity with the
United States was a plank In the plat
form on which the llbt-ral party was
elected and It Is not to bo doubted that
the leaders of the party very earmtitly
desire to bring Canada and the United
States Into more Intimate commercial
relations , but tliey will hardly be aide
to overcome the obstacle of HrltlsJi < 71s-
crimination which prevented their prede
cessors from negotiating a treaty , llvw-
over , they may be assured of receiving
from the next administration respectful
consideration , for whatever proposal * or
limy may prwnt , for reel
prodly that will hoof benefit lo our people
ple Is to bo a prominent pnrt of Hip
policy of the republican administration.

The proshlenllal futures for 1KH ! ) do
not seem to appear as promising for
"Nebraska's gallant son" as the options
In the senatorial race of IKill ) . Mr.
Bryan's Iowa admirer , however , falls
to Intimate whether Mr. llryan Is to be
tlii * candidate of the democrats or of the
populists.
In the Impending senatorial snipe hunt
the populists of Nebraska are not likely
lo be content with bidding the bag , as
they were In the 'Pom Watson Ilasco.
To begin with , they have a simon-
pure populist senator from Nebraska
now In William V. Allen and Senator
Allen will doubtless prefer to be his
own successor. Should Mr. Allen decide
lo waive Ids claim lo endorsement there
are several other eminent Nebraska
populists who would be In line of pro
motion ns party leaders ahead of Mr.
Itryan.
In any ev'iit , Mr. Ilryan's advent Into
Hie list of senatorial entries for 1.S ! ) ! )
will be watched with much Interest and
will develop the relationship between the
elements to the fusion agreement. If
the populists have ically been swallowed
up by the democrats Mr. llryan will
doubtless gather unto himself all the
honors and emoluments which the em
battled populist farmers can bestow. If.
however , the populists who have always
denounced the democrats cipially with
( he republicans Intend lo maintain their
own party organl/.atlon they will
scarcely be willing to make Mr. Itryan
a present of a I'lilted Stales senator-
iildp.

The council should make n thorough
and impartial Inquiry Into the circum

been victim of n deadly assault was

left to die without medical attendance.
The reports that reach The Itce Indicate
almost criminal negligence on the part
of the assistant city physician , who , II
Is alleged , refused lo respond to the call
of the Jailer for Immediate assistance.
If the facts are as reported , the councHV
duty Is plain. The duly of the city phy
sician and Ids assistants Is imperative
to render medical or surgical service
In all such cases.

the refusal of a physician to respond tea

The removals that have been made in
the departments at Washington of olll
dais who took nn active part In the late
campaign was simply In pursuance of a
policy that was established In the IIr.il
administration of President Cleveland ,
but as the men dismissed most of them
appointed from the Huiith were advo
cates of free silver It Is to be expected
that the organs of that cause will have
some severe comments to make on the
action of the heads of departments In
removing them. Tlie truth Is. however ,
llml they were not dismissed simply for
their advocacy of free silver , but for
gross violations of the proprieties. A
Washington correspondent states that it
was a matter of very general comment
during the campaign that a large num
ber of employes of the Treasury depart
ment took an active Interest In the free
silver cans- * , going so far In violation of
good taste as to denounce the financial
policy of llu * administration in the most
vigorous language. It cannot fairly be
questioned that such employes deserved
dismissal. While every man in the
service of the government should be
free to bold what political views he
pleases. If he entertains opinions hostile
lo the policy of the administration and
publicly proclaims them with a view to
reflecting upon those who conduct the
government lie cannot reasonably ex
pect to retain Ids position. The example
set hr this matter Is an altogether
proper one and cannot fall to have a
wholesome effect.
Mr. llryan's Omaha paper talks about
Mr. llryau carrying twenty-one stales ,
or more than any previous defeated
presidential candidate. Hut what states
are they ? Outside of the south they In
clude all but one or two of.the pocket
boroughs In tlie country. His twenty-
one states do not contain one-third of
the population of the United Slates. As
a matter of fact he carried only twenty
states , and those slates only represent
LTi.OlKMHM ) tint of the 70,000.000 of our
population.
It was Just nbout a year ago that Sen
ator Allen In an Interview In The Hee
said that neither the democratic party
nor the. populist party could hope to win
the presidency In ISDti. He also about
that time announced Ids positive deter
mination not to permit Ids name to be
used In connection with the populist
nomination for the presidency. Senator
Allen's reputation for discretion ought
now to be well established.

At the end of a partnership transaction It
Is customary to balance the accounts , to as
certain the protlt and loss ot the parties to
It.
The limited partnership between the dem
ocrats and the populists for the presidential
venture has expired. Hero nro the re

Not a profitable transaction , surely , to
gain" eight mining-camp and mortgage-bur
dened republican and populist states , having
together thirty-eight electors , or hut two
inoro electoral votes than Now York , alone ,
and to lose twelve state's with HO electors.
Hut this Is not nil. The democratic ma

In Arkansas , Missouri and South Carolina
the majorities are about -the same as four
years apo.
Nor Is this all. The republican majorities
have been enormously Increased by demo
cratic voters , who were angered and alien
ated by the populist platform nnd alliance.
Four yeais ago the democratic plurality
for Cleveland In the union was 3SO.S10. This
year the plurality for McKlnley In about
1,050,000 a loss to the democrats on the
popular vote of ever 1.430,000.
Of the seventeen states carried by Mr. Harrison
risen In 1S)2. ! ) Mr. McKlnley carried fourteen
and Mr. llryan three. Of the twenty-throe
states carried hy Mr. Cleveland1 In 1832 , Mr.
McKlnley got eleven and Mr. llryan twelve.
Of Mr. McKlnley's 2SO electoral votes , 133.
or nearly one-half , came from states carried
by Mr. Cleveland.
So btands the account. Was there ever
such a losing transaction In polities , on
the low , practical ground of votes aloup , ns
this unnatural and unholy all lance has been ?
Is there tlie least glimmer of encouragement
In It for the democrats to continue the part
nership ?

explanation : "If It hadn't been for McKln

Louisville Courier-Journal ( dem. ) : Mr.
Hryan need not worry himself Issuing post
election proclamations. The people of the
t'nitrd ' States have taken his measure , and
they have no moro idea of trying to make
a president out of him than they have of
tryini ; to make sixteen ounces of sliver
equal to one ounce of gold.

fact might ai well be owned up to now.
What U tlio use of further deception and
falsification ? Nobody can bo deceived by It
who has sense enough to como in out of the

Sioux City Journal ( rep. ) : Hryan Is not "a

resents' "bimetallism , " It U the exact op
posite ; It U monometallism sliver mon./-
mctalllsm. If he had been elected last Tues

Impels Hryan lo the preposterous claim that
ho Is a blmotallUt or that Iho proposition
which ha has been advocating and which ho
proposes tu continue to advocate Is bi
metallism ?
Indianapolis News Utid. dem ) : Wo note
that Mr. Hryan mill talks about bimetallism
HI * address Is to the MmMnlllnU of the
United Statcii. II I * to , the CIHIWJ f bi

called attention so often during the cam
paign. Uo WAS not the candidate ot the
blmetnlllsts but of the Hllvrr nionomotalUits.
Ills triumph would Imvo meant sliver
inonnmetallism.
Mlnnraiioll.i Journal ( rep. ) : Hryan an
nounces that , during the next four yearn , ho
cxpeetn to ilovo'o much time to "tho advocacy
of bimetallism. " A * llrynn hn played out
that Joke of "bimetallism" during Ihe cam
paign , and every * , no understands that his
talk of "bimetallism" means r.dvocacy of
cllver monometallism , he might as well drop
that thin And. ganzv mask and call tiling
by their right names. Hryan Is on record
as a champion of the single silver standard
and dollars , as he uny * , of "falling value. "
Kansas City Star ( item. ) : If Mr. llryan
, wants to continue the Unlit for the restora-
i tlon of silver a * a standard ofalues In ibis
country he owes It to the country to drop
all disguise and pretense ana come out
boldly for silver an n standard , tt Is non
sense for him or any other man to pretend
that the free coinage of M ) conta worth of
silver nnd 100 cents worth of gold Into ilol-
lars me.ms bimetallism. It means silver
mouomotalllam. pure nnd simple. It moans
the expulsion of gold from use , except hy
special contract , nnd It means Iho violent
debasement of the American dollar.
Milwaukee Wisconsin ( rep. ) : There Is a
sense In which It Is true that "bimetallism"
has triumphed. The HUccens of the Hryan-
lies would have precipitated the country to
silver monometallism. Their defeat has
saved the existing monetary system tin-
only system by which under the conditions
now prevailing the concurrent circulation
of the two precious metals , so-called , can be
maintained. Hut that Is not the sense In
which llryan uses the phrase. When IIP
writes of "tlie i-auso of bimetallism" he
intends his readers to apply that term to
the cause of debased silver monometallism
which he represents.

capital whoso operations will enlarge the

help on to prosperous conclusions.
Philadelphia Ledger : A revival of pros
perity Is now In progress , tlie like of which
we believe has never been recorded In our
annals. Closed mills and factorlco are re
opening all over the country and the prom
ise of those who prophesied this revival
upon the totlronirnt of ' .Mr. Hryan from
the political ccno Is having remarkable
fnlllllment. Thousands of Industrious work-
iiicn , the men to whom Mr. Hryan Imputed
the grostcst hypocrisy In espousing the-
cause of McKlnley and Hobart , are rinding
employment. One must give reins to his
Imagination to describe wbnt would have
befallen the country had Mr. Ilrynn been
elected ,
Chicago Chronicle : There Is another thing
which sliould not be overlooked. Industry
end trade have been depressed Blnro the
panic of 1S93 , ns Ihey always are after such J
cevu ! lon. H Is about tlmu to expect re
covery In the natural course of things. In
fact , there wore unmistakable signs of re
covery when populism feared Its threatening
front. Then the stagnation nnd prostration
became worse than ever. Men feared to
embark upon the sea of enterprise until they
knew whelhcr tho-American people really
meant to turn loose n tempest of repudla-
l on and wreck everything In sight. Now
llmt the qucHtlnn has been pi-otty thor
oughly settled it Is natural that the course
of recovery , which was rudely Interrupted
by tlie populists , should bo resumed.
St. Louis OloboiDemocrat : On Wednes
day morning last , the moment when Mc
Klnley's election became positively known
to the country , gold to the extent of many
millions of dollars , hoarded In the fear of
'
Hryaii'H victory , came out of Us hiding
places ; hundreds of thousands of orders for
goods of various eorts contlngenl on llryan's
defeat began to bo tilled , p.ud Hcoros of mills
and factories , either idle or running on
short time , started to hum. On the other
baud If llrynn had been elected a run
would bnvo been made on the treasury and
en the banks on Wi-dnesilay morning the
banks would have drawn In their loans
mercanlliit houses nnd llnanclal Instllutlons

ana oday the country would have been In
t no throes of u panic , compared with which
the convulsions of 1S37. 1S37. 1S73 and IS'JS
were as zephyrs to a tornado.
Kansas City star : Then came the election
wiiti its endorsement of gold as the siandnrd
In this country , as 11 Is of every great com
mercial couniry In the world. And
tills result being known and conceded
gold came forth and resumed Its place as a
circulating medium. This ono fact out
weighed a thousand specious theories. Men
had said that there was no gold In circula
tion , but hero It shone in men's hands anil
pockelboaks nil that was asked for all
that was needed. The scheme to drive it
out of uao had failed , the thrcnls against It
had proved fruitless , ami hereU waa every

And It hac come to tay. Not the rich man's
money or the poor nian'tt money , but every
