VARIOUS stories are in circulation
accrediting friends of MeKinloy and
Harrison with nursing rival boonn
This ia to be expected. The rumors
will increase as 1SU grows nearer.
For instance. Governor JicKinley's
forthcoming visit to Wilkes'-Barre,
March 1, whero he will, it is hoped,
respond to a toast at the Camnro
American society's annual banquet,
will unquestionably be tortured into
a sinuous attempt to coil a pale green
band of dlsooutent around the Harris
onlnn preference' of anthrrcire re."ion
Republicrnf. And t hen, shonld Gen
eral Harrison chance to r-viH Phila

reverse of this story will bo called into
requisition. ' It is in thie manner that
political jealousies are fostered by acu
sational reporters, anil unwary readers
deluded into fancying they see rival
ries that really do not eiist. The fast
of the matter is that Pennsylvania
Republicans are not worrying about
18U6, nor do they propose to begin wor
rying until that bridge is reached.
Evan then it ia a safe guess that they
will feTor the man irho secmc at that
time b?; calculated to de?trre and
achieve success, independently of hat
tuy may have thought or laid at the
dawn of 1394
now being manifested in the rise and
doctrines of the Populist party. Of
course it if not to be denied that the
availability of outside capital has been
of (treat benefit to the West but the
way in which it poured into Kansas
and some other sections during the ten
year to IWO was undoubtedly mo3t do
moralizing. it came near fastening upon the
western farmer the credit syetem
which baa done ao mnch to eusluvA
agriculture in the south. But three
years of boom collapsing, enforced
economy and debt paying in the west
have been doing the same good wor!
there as in the south, and agriculture
will undoubtedly emerge from the
present depression in a more solid and
healthy state than it has beon in for
many years.

iKJUSIOua JH EFFECTS EYZBTw'KaSF
The threatened Urifl legislation has
not only bad a bad effect on American
industry bat it Sfs.xi plain enough
tbat foreign countries hare suffered
indirectly from thl same cause if not
to the same extent, it wosld be rash
to ciaim tbat s; . abroad is
solely due to American legislation:
even in tbii country there are
causes which cannot be ascribed
to the acta of conjress. The fall of
silver has disturbed business and
this feature is not confined to the
United States The Argentine troubles,
the Italian panic aud the European
war scares ail play some part as factors
m the European business conditions of
today . but at the same time there are
still other factors, among which ia to
be counted the uncertain prospect of
tariff legislation on the part of the
present congress.
The way iu which this work has
been shown by statistics of the treas
ury department The industries of the
United States have been depressed by
the fear of tariff legislation that may
a if oct those industries unfavorably.
Especially in many branches of trade
where goods must be made for a mar
ket that ia at its height six mouths
later than the time of order
or manufacture, the fear of pos
sible and probable changes haa
had a paralysing effect. The
manufacturer hesitates to apend thous
ands of dollars in making goods which
may perhaps be sold only at a loss
nest spring or next summer. The un
employed cptrntive practices strict
economy in bis purchases and manner
of living, A market which before the
Democratic victory of 1S'J3 was one of
the most remunerative in the world to
labor, has beeu obcoked, confined and
made sluggish. Foreign producers
have evidently suffered from the
change.
the foreign manufacturers Were
very happy over the news of the Dem
ocratic victory in lSM, but they are
now feeling the etfeots of that victory
iu their own bmiuaej Perhapa, as they
hope, the Wilson tariff will open the
customs doors so wide as to give them
the market which has been hitherto
kept largely for the product of Amer
ican labor; but as yet the European
producers have reaped only the bitter
instead cf the sweets, aDd they
have found only a poor mar
ket in this country since the
Democratic congress began to turn its
attention to tariff revision They have
not suffered so much from this cause as
the American people and the American
industries, but at all events the Euro
pean producers have suffered heavily
and if, us is still possible, the Wilson
bill 1 defeated, they will have suffered
without securing any future gain. It
is no wonder that the enthusiasm of
foreign producer over American tariff
reform has undergone a noticeable do
presaion in the recent past,

the crowning achievement of his career
were the ex-general master workman
publicly to take the platform in oppo

Mr. Powdttrly would yield in this
direction would be a very desirable
accession to those forces now massing
against th proposed crude tariff , but

CREDIT SYSIEM DiOPUCEU
It is of great interest to learn from
the Baltiinare Manufacturers' Reoord
that an extensive inquiry among south
eru bankers anil factors shows that the
credit system is being rapidly displuced
by the cash system. The enforced
economy of the lust two years has
caused a complete change in southern
farm methods, say th bankers without
exception. The Record thus sums up
what its reports appear to establish:
"They show that the wholt economic
policy of southern farm interests is un
dergmog a change and tne oredit sys
tem is being superceded by a cash
basis. The low price of cotton for the
lest few years forced upon farmers' the
necessity of raising their own food
stuffs, and added to this was the de
cision of bankers and factors to ad
vance much less money on cotton than
formerly. The result has been
change that, for the time beiDg, while
paseing from the credit system with
its liberal buying to a cash lys
tern requiring the closest economy,
there his bjen l.-ss trade with farm
ers, and hence a decreased volume of
general business in the south. B it this
has brought about a more solid condi
tion or tne business dependent upon
farm trade throughout the south than
we have had for many yearn. Mer
chants are dairying small stocks and
buying only as needed , farmers are
paying off their debts to such an ex
tent that, without exception, these let
ters from bankers say that the (arm
ers are leaa in debt than for year?."
What the credit system has done t
demoralits louttmn agriculture, the
rbsh or eastern money into farm
mortgages in certain parts of the west
haa done in a Way for agriculture in
those sectioui. It cultivated extrava
gant habits and methods, and a spirit
of discontent and dependence wbiob is
