POOH-POOHING PROSPERITY.
Many of the democratic papers, says
the Globe-Democrat, are saying that
there is nothing in the prosperity ar-
gument as a partisan factor. Some ot
the inpretend there is not much pros-
perity anyhow, that the thing which
looks like it is only a sham which will
clare that while there may be prosepr-
ity, the republicnas are notaccountable
Jor it, and deserve none of the credit
for it sextstanec. Still others say tTiat
prosperity is not a guarantee of con-
tinued republican success, for the coun-
try had good times, as they assert, in
1892, when the democrats won by a
large majority. All these diverse views
show that the prosperity argument as
a republican a-sct is giving a good deal
of trouble to the democratic leaders.
Of course, if, as the democratic papers
pretend, there is no such thing as pros
perity, at all times, then the argu
ment based upon that condition will
not avail. But not many persons have
any confidence in that pretense. The
fact that the majority of the democrats
art attributing the prosperity to other
causes than to republican sway show-
that the good time are very real -nd
that they are giving the democratic pol
iticians very serious trouble.
As the prosperity began just as -0011
as the republicans regained poweri
in 1897, it indicate;, that there was
something of a connection between
the two things The hard times came
in with the democrats in 189.1 and ended
.with them four years afterward. Th
good time- have continued ever
for seven years, and there is no indi-
cation that they are near their end. All
the great activities of the country are
thriving. Its bank clearings are thriv-
ing. Its bank clearings are touching
figure- never reached before Its rail
road earnings are making new records
every few week- T he number of idle-
persons is probably smaller now than
"it ever was before, relatively to the ag
gregatc population Everybody, or
nearly everybody, who wants
these days can get it. Iff this was not
prosperity it would be hard to tell what
the word means. T he fact that the re-
publicans call attention to tins state
of things occasionally is disturbing the
democrats. The latter will hear some-
thing more about this condition .11 the
campaign of I9°4-
The democrats an correct who are
saying that the democrats had good
times in 1892, a year in which the
democratic party woi. .1 great victory.
But the persons who are calling atten-
tion to this fact are unwise In doing
this thev also call attention to the fact
that the'good times vanished very soon
aiter the democratic victory. Hie ad-
versity followed so sharply on the tri-
umph of the democratic party that the
•adversity must bear to the democratic
victory the relation of effect to cause
There were no hard times in sight at
the opening of November, 189.1. Ev-
erybody saw them very soon after-
ward, however. The crash came just
as soon as the democratic president en-
tered office. As that president was
Cleveland this particular circumstance
will be mentioned pretty often by that
personages democratic and republican
enemeie* if he should chance to get the
nomination. The stigma of the panic
president is something which would be
hurled at Cleveland pretty freely by
the Bryanites next year if the demo
cratic national convention should be
mad enough to put him forward for a
third term. Of course there are many
other tributes to republican s«ay Ix-
odes that of the national prosperity
which n brought, but this alone would
lie sufficient to insure a triumph for
that party in !9 4- The prosperity
argument ha- decisive force with every
voter wlv remembers the disaster
which democratic rule brought to the
country, and who also remembers that
that disaster vanished just as soon as
the democrats were turned out of pow-
er and the republicans were reinstated
in control of the government
