Thk workera in the ootton milis oí New Knglund are already able to note the contrast between a Republican and a Democratie administratlon in thofact that the usual summer suspension of work, whicfc has prevailed each year under the Wilson law, is to be omitted nis season and the milis run on full time during the summer. Tuk trade reviews and the daiiy papers of the country unite in the assertion that business is brightening in all parts of the United States. More men are employed, the volume of new orders is inoreasing, and the amount of work done is steadily gaining. With the final action on the tariff bill, which may be expected during the present month, an increased improvement is coniidcntly expected. EVERY side of the Cuban question is being considered by President McKinley now, and a courso of action is likely to be indicated in the near future. The importuncc and gravity of the issiiüs involved and possiblc ceneequences of a raistake are so great that the Presiden and lus advisers are moving with the utmost caution, as any judicious citizen would do if guch grave responsibilities wore placed upoa his individual shoulders. Senators Jones, Vest and Mills didn't know it was loaded. They began shouting about a small advance of about 0 per cent. in the value of sugartrust stocks simultaneously with a set. tleiuent of the sugar schedule by the final action upon it in the Senate caucus, hut had evidently forgotten that when the tariff bill was in tlieir own charge in 1891, stocks of this same sugar trust ad vaneed 55 per cent. in value during their manipulation of the bill.

Mr. Bfyan in his speeches last fall asserted that the 42milliondollarS necessary to keep pace with the growfh of population íd the United States could not be produced since the suspension of free coluage of silver, and quoted Senator Sherman in support of h! tlieory that this amount was necessary to be added to the currency of the country each year.

Japan bas sold to people of the United States in the past decade goods amounting to 313 million yen, the value of the yen being about equivalent to the dollar, while she lias bought frotn us gojds valued at only 78 million yen. This simple fact disposes of all the hurnbuggery whicb the free-traders are indulging in about the alleged probability that Japan will retalíate upoo the passage of the new tarill bill by shutting outoui1 Ameiicaj guods. Her statesmen and linanciers are tooshrewd to cut off one doilar's worth of market for American goods, when by doing so they wi',1 destroy four dollars' worth of market for their own. Ever since its organization in 1887, the National Kopublican Leagiiü of the United States has kept its office open and its organizing and educatieg fonjes at woi-k despite a hostile national administration ou the ooe hand and a money panic on the other. lt has been the only political organization representing Republican polioies that has i-L-fused to "ah ut up shop." The League is optomistic and is now enjoyinL the fruits of a víetory won by Thrift over Shiftlessness, Honesty over Dishonesty, and Inielligeliee over Ignorance. In the gi-eat caiupaign of 18ÍXÍ the League played no small pait Suboruinatiug itself to the Republican National Coininittee and q uietly bewiog to the line, it was instrumental in turning the tide in several States. In the Btruffgle for office' the League takes no part. It is the '-Volunteer Ariny" of the Republican party. It backs no man for place. It is not a breeder ol dbcord, neither does it bhelter the dlappointed seeker after patronage. It is close to the people. Evory Republican in this vicinity who can spure the time should attend the convention. lts tenth annual convention wil] be heldin the city of Detroit, Michigan, July 13, 14 and 15.
