The Journal has expressed doubts
on this subject. He says: "We

spoken of, but for my part I have
never been able to determine In my

ures, with liabilities of $305,302,189.
The grand total of failures for the
year, under the "party, of prosper
ity," amounted to 1557,498,685. And
yet the Republican spellbinders are
going about telling the people to
vote against Bryafh lest there be
business depression and hard times!,
The panic of 1873 was under
Grant, a , Republican. The panic of
1878 was under Hayes, a Republican.
The panic of 1884 was under Arthur,
a Republican. ,The panic of 1890-1
was under Harrison, a Republican.
Some of these depressions are gen
erally spoken of, hpwever, as "strin
gencies." The best times of the period from
1872 to 1883 were the years 1879-j
82, when the average tariff was
35.50 per cent. The next period of
good times was In . 1885-9, under
Cleveland, and an average tariff of
44.41 per cent. Then came a long
period of hard times, from 1889 to
1897, when the McKlnley tariff of
49.58 per cent was In force. The
recent period of good times, under a
tariff of 62.07 per cent, was due
principally to the discovery of gold
in Alaska and the great Increase of
money In the country. That the
Dingley tariff did not make the good
times la clear by looking at the past
year's record of events.

A SriocloLonsf Delayed
From the New Tork World.
In an editorial entitled 'The Presi
dent and the Republican Treasury" the
Sun yesterday asked these questions:
"Who but Theodore Roosevelt could
have detached from his cabinet the sec
retary who was officially most Inti
mately connected with commerce and
Industry, and therefore with great cor
porations, and make him the chalrnfan
of the Republican national committee?
"Who but Theodore Roosevelt would
have sought, through his personal selec
tion of such chairman, a contribution of
1100.000 from the Standard Oil company
to help reelect hlmsaJfT
"Who but Theodore Roosevelt would
for his own protection have written si
multaneously a letter which directed
Mr. Cortelyou to return the Standard ,
uu contribution and then tacitly per
mit it. retention and actual use in the
campaign?"

has been very ranld. Durtner the 80s
he served In Egypt, in India and in
Burmah, and was honored with a medal
for his gallant conduct at the battle of
