The Democratic method of purging
the pension roll is receiving apt illus
tration just now from the fact that the
house committee on pensions is in
favor of increasing the pension to
veterans of the Mexican War. Those
veterans now receive a pension that
is, a pension to every enlisted man,
Four-fifths of these pensioners live in

served in the Confederate army. The

they are crying for a revision of the

Strange as it may seem,labored art
icles are appearing in some Demo
cratic journals designed to prove that
the country is still gloriously prosper
ing under President Harrison's Ad
ministration. Why should it not? His
term of office has not yet expired.
True, some works in progress have
been arrested, and some orders for
machinery have been countermand
ed, because the future looks to manu
facturers less promising. This means
less increase in productive power
than might have been expected, but
not as yet prostration of existing in
terests. It is true also that some es
tablishments have determined to cur
tail their production, and have cut
down their force or closed altogether..
It is much too early to read in . the
condition of manufactures the results
of a change of laws which the demo
cratic party has not yet effected. In
deed, that party has not yet collected
its ideas far enough to know what it
means to do, and its ardent Free Trad-
ers may be more disappointed tnan
anybody else with its performances.
For thirty years it has not been a party
that has ever done what it set out to
do. When Mr. Cleveland was first
elected, the Democrats had an excuse
that they were in a minority in th8
Senate. Prices sagged and business
was depressed tor montns aiter ms

no radical change of laws would re-

Wheat continues to pour into Du
luth, Minn., rapidly, and the wheat
blockade predicted a few days ago
seems almost there. The increase in
stocks held there the last week was
1,645,000 bushels, and the total stocks
of wheat there aggregate 12,754,000
bushels. In the week the elevators of
the Duluth Elevator Company have
been filled, one of the two big elevat
ors of the Great Northern road is full,
and ihero is enough wheat going into

country elevators belonging to the

the 'capacity at the head of the lakes
will be full of wheat, and there will be
at least 16,000,000 bushels for the ves

highest grade.

session, more than a year must elapse
before the country can know what
the Democratic party do this time, or
what it will try to do. Until that is
made known, nothing like the full ef
fect of the meditated change of policy
can be expected.
Tint two effects oaii be realized, and
probably will be to some extent, even
while President Harrison is still in of
fice. Developmentjimprovement and
expansion will in many directions be
arrested. Of this some evidences ap
pear already. This arrest of growth
has results that are distinctly hurtful.
The force of labor is constantly in
creasing, but the opportunities of em
ployment in some directions will not
increase. The tendency may be to
push labor into occupations already
overcrowded. Then the continually
accumulating wealth and enterprise
of the country find development in
some directions embarassed. The ten- j
dency may be to push those forces
into fields already full.
A second effect is more definite, and
can be perceived to some extent al
ready. Foreign capital amounting to
a thousand millions has been invested

First of all, and most seriously, in the
movements of money. Gold will go
abroad, and confidence in the future
of the paper circulation may be im
paired. For more than thirty years
under the Republican policy, this
country has been able to draw some
what largely upon foreign reserves of
capital. Within the last few years, as
the best results of Protection have
been witnessed, these supplies of for
eign capital have been so large as to
insure beyond all question the safety
of the paper circulation. It is already
obivioas that L duange in that respect
may not be far distant.
