The Sun claims the largest cir- culation of any daily paper in Paducah. From the day of its first issue it has made its cireu- lation public and asks its adver- tisers to make a complete inves- tigation of its circulation books at anytime. No other paper in Paducah wi'l state its circula- ~ tion. Senator Hit says that although New York has yery few Democrats in Congress at present, she will have none at all if the present Democrats repeat their Teller resolution folly. Ovr Bryanite friends still persist in calling the American dollar a 200- cent dollar. The farmers, however, who get it for their wheat and coro and the workers of all sorts who get it for wages are not grumbling about it. They voted for that in 1896, and they will vote for it in 1900. Tuene 18 no better tsst of business conditions than the reports of the railroads. When times are bad, their earnings fall; when times im- prove, their earnings increase. Here is that evidence of prosperity ia this new year 1898, as furnished by rail- road reports: ‘‘Earnings of all rail- roads in the United States reporting for December, $43,364,279, indicate substantially the same rate of in- creas2, exceeding last year’s by 10.05 per cent., and the earnings of 1892 for the same roads by 1-6 per cent. —_— Uxper the workings of a Republi- can tariff American tin-plate manu- facturers bave improved their ma- chinery to such a degree that it is in demand by the Welsh makers. The metal used can be rolled into sheets in this country cheaper than else- where, and the higher grades of tin plate are turned out by the automatic processes. An Am ‘an ¢stablish. ment which until recently in} 3) all its tin plate, used 65,000 boxes of American plate last year, and import- ed none, The saving was over $+i0,- 000. Tuosr persons who at this safe distance from the probable field of war, are lamenting that the President does not rush into war with Spain may rest assured that the Adminis- ~% tration will do its fall duty in refer- ence to the horrible Maine battlesbip disaster, A full investigation is be- ing made apd when the facts are knewn. the administration will act. Should it be shown that it was the Tesult of Spanish treachery, the dia- bolical deed will be avenged to the fullest satisfaction of every demand of outraged humanity and patriot- ism. This Administration, true to the American people, knows its duty, and knowing it will fearlessly and faithfully pursue it. PATERNAL POLITICS, The Manufacturers’ Record, which bas done more in advancing indus- trial development in the South, and uniting all the people of the Nation, into one great common brotherhood than any other publication since the surrender of Appowattox, has been publishing some timely and well con- sidered articles opposing the giving of rate-making powers to the Inter- State Commerce Commission, which |” articles apply equally well to the Mc- Chord Railroad bill, now in the bands of Governor Bradley, and which he probably will veto, It is impossible to imagine how any commission can intelligently make the rates for the! ville, traffic of a country so large as ours and with such widely different inter. esis and cunditions as we different sections. ‘Take fifty of the have in best traffic men of the United States, | put them on this commission, and if houcst men, they will within three months be forced to confess their ab- solute inability to handle the ques- tion—for it is too big a job. The wonderful development of the country in the last fifty years has been ‘argely the efforts of independ- ent lines of railroads to build up the sections served by thew, regardless of the interest of avy other part ot the country and the people will tind, if ihe attempt should ever be mace, that enforced departure from this| system can bat bring ruia and disas-) ter to their best interests.
