UALLOWAV, Kcoelvur. I A 11EPUHLICAS BUSCO. The election of a populist as mayor of Lynn, Massachusetts, has created a flutter in the McKinloy dovecote, especi ally as it is not an isolated phenomenon. jne aemocrats nave been winning a majority of the municipal elections in Massachusetts during the past three weeks, and the evidence is incontestable that the republican tide reached its high-water mark on November 3d and lias been running out ever since. Various explanations of this pheno menon have been offered, but one of the most refreshingly candid is that of the New York 'Evening Post," a gold-standard organ. It says: Wages had not gone up (at Lynn), on tho contrary, cut downs had occurred in many of the shoe manufactories. The logic was irresistible that called for voting down a party in power that had such a barren idea of prosperity as that. This incident should serve as a solemn warning to the advance agent of prosperity and his party of the impossible nature of the contract they litvro on therr hnnde-. They hare under-" taken to put everybody ut work at good wages. It is an old trick of politicans of course, to promiso better times with a change of administration. But the promise was never so explicit as this year. It was definite both as to parties and n to measures. 'Have tho demo crats made you rich?' asked McKinley, 'Put us in pswiir and we will do it. We will mako a tariff that will But all the , tall chimneys smoking and gl e every laborer work at high wages.' Now that is a most dangerous contract for any president or party to undertake. Even if it were reasonably fulfilled, there would be tens of thousands of the incur ably discontented who would insist that it had not been, and who would go iu madly for another change." who were applying for aid! "It charity, starvation or crime for them They ure willing to work and are intelli gent and capable, but there is no em pioyment lor tiiem, and so they are Anally driven to the charity agent for help. The number of these applicants is said to be greater this season than has been been known in New York. In Denver 7000 men have declared by reso lution that they are starving and asked the city government to give them work New York papers almost every morn ing adorn their front pages with pictures of horrible murders or suicide. The poor wretches can make nothing in the country, and they flock to the cities, with the result that they are there stranded, desolate and desperate. The wave of prosperity which we have been told about has not reached them yet. PRIVATE FREE COINAGE. According to tho Treasury officials, tho private manufacture of silver dollars containing as much pure mo till as the genuine is now a wull-estublished in dustry. This has often been suggested as a profitable line of enterprise, and the suggestion seem to have borne fruit. How to detect the new full-value counterfeits is a problem that is worry Vug tho government's experts. Perhaps the bent plan will be not to try to detect them at all. It appears that wo huve in operation an infant free coinage of silver. The experiment is interesting, and it might bo well to wait and see how it is going to turn out. If tho theories uf the gold mononiotallists be correct the result should be a gradual decline in the value of the silver dollar. If there should be marked indications o such an outcome, in the form of a grow ing promium on gold, our silver coinage could be retired from circulation and rocoined at a raito that would close up the private mints, the froe-ooinago agitation would subside, and there would le general acquiescence in the gold standard. On the other hand, if tho bimetallic theory be correct, the result of tho private free coinage should be a gradual rise in tho value of silver bullion toward an equality with gold. If thut should happen the opposition to free coinage by the government's mints should lie dis armed, and tho proiits of private coin age would disapjK-ar. NoIkhIv would take the trouble to coin double eagles of standard gold, even if tho laws made no objection. Stkkl rails are down to $25 in the east, but there are no new roads being built. Unless the old roads need a great deal of repair, the mills will have to close down. Railroads through an agri cultural country do not pay unless the products of (ho soil are worth enough to pay for transportation. In former years there were from $200,000,000 to $400,001, 000 a year paid out for railroad construc tion. That gavea great many men employment Tn the mines," in " the smeltors, in the rolling mills along the grades, on the tracks, and then to run the trains. This army of workers is now idle anxiously waiting for the wink of the "advance 'agent of prosperity" that will once more set all the wheels of industry going. A larok number of Cascades Locks edition of the Orrgnnian were sent from Oregon City to friends and relatives in the East The edition contained a good description of the industries of the state. Tn "Advance Agent of Prosperity" is getting in his "deadly work." Geo. Pullman, the palace car king, has re duced the wages of his employees 15 percent. Tiif Farmers' Alliance of Kansas is to disband at its annual meeting in Janu ary, having dwindled from a member ship of 107,000 down to 1000. Skveral bunks have fuiled in Chicago and St. Paul, and still the majestic wave of prosperity sweeps onward. It takes the American po;ple a long time to learn thut politicians' promises are made to le broken. Perhaps the grievous lesson that is being instilled into them now they will so well remem bea in November, 1900, as not to be buncoed again. Bryan did not promise immediate prosperity, did not lie to catch votes. What the result of his election would hove been it is useless to discuss, but, seemingly, it could, for the prasont, at least,' have had no worse effect than the election of McKinley The fact of tho matter is, McKinloy is as powerless to restore prosperity as a babe Tho republican party has taken a bigger contract than it can possibly fulfill.
