EDITORIAL COriMENT.
An increase of oO per cent, in :i
single year is a very gratifying
feature of the showing made in
presenting the summarization of
President McKinley's lirst year.
February bank clearings for IS'JS
an' ere of) per cent, higher than those
of February, 1807, and the largest
ever recorded in that month.
Treasury receipts, which averag
ed over a million dollars a day in
February, are likely to be consid
erably heavier than that in March.
The first ten days in March pro
due<-d SI 1,000,000 of revenue and
it is probable thai the month will
show receipts higher than that of
any March sine the repeal ofthe
McKinley law.
<a> ■ Or*
Nebraska is showing Mr. Hryan
the practicability of paying off
mortgages without the l'rfec coinage
of silver. The releases of farm
mortgages in that State for 18U7
amounted to nearly $16,000,000
against a little over 811,000,000 in
1800, while the total reduction in
mortgaged indebtedness was more
than has been known for many
years in the history of that State.
Latest reports from the South
put the estimate of the cotton crop
now being marketed at about 1 1.-
000,000 bales, which is by far the
largest ever produced, and four
times as large as that of the year
May it not be OV<T produc
tion rather than the fall of silver
which has caused the decline in the
prices of cotton since the amount
now produced is four times as much
as in the year preceding the
"crime" and since tin; cost of pro
duction has also been greatly re
duced V
Reports from the great corn pro
ducing States of the West show
that the free silver proposition is
losing ground very rapidly among
the farmers. Tins is true wherever
good crops last year brought pros
perity to the farmers, as is the ease |
almost everywhere, and there
seems good reason to believe that
the cause of silver which made in
roads among the farmers in 1800
will fail to receive anything like
the support among that class of
voters in the coming campaigns '
that it did on that occasion.
The Secretary of the Mexican
Treasury Department, Mr. Liinan
tour, in his recent report, states
frankly that one of the principal
factors restricting foreign trade and
consequently the receipts from im
port duties is the fall and fluctua-:
turn in the price of silver. Trade, j
he says, could be adopted to a per
manent high rate of exchange, but
the constant fluctuations in the
price of silver are more injurious
than any act ual depreciation. Mr.
Hryan seems to have overlooked
this somewhat important fact in
his lengthy and elaborate investi
gation of Mexican finance —from
the rear of an observation car.
After taking ample time for con
sideration, Mr. John Wanamaker
has finally concluded to accept the
call of the business men of Phila
delphia. and contest the nomination
for Governor. His act makes the
course clear for lion. Charles W.
Stone. Mr. W anamaker has no
desire for the office himself, and
enters the race entirely from prin
ciple. lie says he is there to rep
resent pure politics and he could
not have expressed himself any
clearer than by openly naming
lion. G. \\ . Stone. The addition
of the Wanamaker forces to his
great following is the Northwest
and other section of the State will
make Mr. Stone's nomination an
assured fact. —Oil <'itv Derrick.
A REPUBLICAN YEAR.
The Press of the Country on President McKin
ley's l : irst Twelve Honths in the-
White House.
The administration is a success,
and is receiving the support of the
American people.—Albany Journal.
As the year ends, we may say,
"Well done, good and faithful ser
vant. You have restored the
prosperities and cherished the
honor of the rebublic. <«o on in
way you have begun, and the peo
ple will be with you to tlx; end."
—Rochester Post- ICxjirr^.
The lirst year lias been finished
of President McKinley's adminis
tration. and the condition in which
it linds the country affords a happy
contrast to that which preceded it.
—Pittsburg Commercial- Ga:.ct(c,.
At the end of one year's service,
President McKinley can look back
upon a phenomenal revival of
business, a restoration of domestic
content, and, barring tha possibili
ties of war, the brightest prospect
upon which this country has looked
in years.—Kansas City Journal.
William McKinley,as President,
has not only fulfilled the highest
expectations of his party and of
those allies who joined with the
Republican party in the crisis of
1.806, but he has risen above those
expectations, and in these hours of
stress and danger he stands re
vealed to all the people as a states
man and patriot in whose wisdom,
tact, and judgement a nation re
poses its entire confidence. —X. V.
Mail, and Express.
lie and his associates are con
fronted with international prob
lems of the gravest character. That
he will act wisely and for the best
interests of the whole people can be
judged from his past record. Have
faith in the President of the I'nited
States. Ise assured that lie can be
trusted to act with prudence and
discretion, and at the same time to
uphold the honor of this, the great
est nation of the world. —Balimore
Amc.ricm.
President McKinley's severest
labors are, doubtless, before him.
In foreign and domestic affairs this
first year has been but a prepara
tion foi the consummation of poli
cies of the most pregnant import.
But he approaches them from a
plane of popular content and con
fidence immeasurably elevated
above that universally anxious seat
of a year ago. The atmosphere of
achievement has been created.
From the day of the calling of the
extra session which restored to in
dustrial America its own, his has
been the most potent personal in
fluence in the beneficial alteration
of things which to-day is acknowl
edged by all.—l\". Y. Press.
\\ illiam McKinley has com
pleted his first year of office. Me
has executed his trust as the
nation's chief executive with con
spicuous ability, and lias the moral
support of the great mass of pat
riotic American citizens, without
regard to party. I'nder his ad
ministration, the country has en
joyed its most prosperous year
since 1802, and enters upon the
second with every prospect of an
increase in prosperity in all the
great lines of human activity.—
Toledo liladr.
The signal success of the first
year's administration is the enact
ment of a revenue law which ful
fills the promises of its friends, and
while supplying revenue for the
government discriminates in favor
of American enterprise and labor.
The prompt ness and efficacy in this
regard is an earnest fact that the
party's pledges will be redeemed
as fast as possible. Everything
cannot be done in a year. In the
emergency which the government
at Washington is now facing the
administration has received the
most complimentary assurances,
from all parties, of the country's
trust in it.—Sioux City Journal.
When Preaident McKinley as
sumed the reins of office he was
pledged to four things—sound
money, protection, the annexation
of Hawaii and the liberation of
Cuba. The first he has maintained,
the second was given to the coun
try in a little less than four months
after his inauguration, the third
he has bent his every endeavor to
accomplish and accept for the fact
that it takes a two-thirds majority
of Congress to pass a resolution of
annexation, Hawaii would have
been annexed before the Holidays.
The fourth is now matter of keen
est interest and ere another year
will have been numbered with the
past, Cuba will have gained her
liberty and the stirring incidents
of to-day w ill be history. In no
thing has the party been recreant
to his trust.—Grand Rapids //< raid.
