The following is an extract from The speech OF
The Mayor OF Lowell, addressed TO the President
OF the United States. Lowell is the head-quar-
lers ot American manufactures.
"Mr. President, | have the honor TO introduce
you 10, and again welcome you among happy
commended, and prosperous population, who will
give YOU tina, frank and cordial reception which
is due 10 your exalted position as an eminen! CT
zen al sister Stale, and as the President Of
this grea, republic
We could fill columns with such evidences, all
proving universal prosperity. Wherever The
President, during his tour, stopped sufficiently
long TO be congratulated By the citizens, addresses
OF similar character were universally made
Not single branch of industry was excepted
In manufacturing, agricultural, and commercial
districts, almos. The same expressions were made
regarding The astonishing and Unprecedented
well.being and happiness OF The people. The
iron, woollen, and cotton manufacturing districts
are busily employed, and Inc different establish
menis declaring large dividends. And yet these
were the branches which were 10 be particularly
affected BY the tariff OF 1916 The Daily Com
mercial Journal OF Ptsburg (whis) has recently
given full accounts OF business doEe in numbers
Of The iron establishments OF that city, showing an
uncommon state Of activity and prosperity.
The Evening Post informs us that The revenue

present year, will be upwards OF 4 million Of dol
lars more than that Of the last year.
The credit Of the national government, not
wnhs,anding The immense drain upon The ueasu-
~ caused by the Mexican war, was never better.
The Journal oil Commerce states that The United
States loan of SIS, 0000 900 was taken 10Th April,
lSi1, AT about I per cent. premium This pre-
MUM has since advanced, according 10 the daily
reports in the papers, 10 Z: per cent; 30 that al
this tate the exchange brokers will gain 81 $780,
900 BIZ this operation. Compare This with the
tact that but recently, under Wing aiministra.
ton small United States loan was hawked all
over Europe without obtaining dollar, Ame
rican capitalists kept aloof from it, and foreign
capitalists laughed a, the audacity Of the admin.
islraiion in offering il.
In Newark we hear no, word OF complaint.
The numerous manufacturing establishments ap-
pear busily employed, and We understand that
those oil Paterson are equally SO. The best iea-
ture in all this favorable state OF affairs is its
healhiness, its stability. Speculation cannot be
named in connection with IL aud every business
firm is using ils whole capital in its legitimate
business. None is invested in shadowy lilies,
water lots and moonshine emporiums.
II the administration is not the cause of this
beautiful stale OF things, as The Wing press as.
serts, it has moi certainly prevented IT, II The mea-
sures OF the Democratic paI!y such as The tariff Of
1916, The independent treasury, and others, have
no, assisted in p oducing this universal prosperi-
ty, they undoubtedly have not checked il. But
how measures OF such importance 10 The business
Of al, especially our manufacturing and COM
mercial classes, can exist without exercising any
influence either Tor good or for evil, We cannot
imagine. Before they became laws, every Wing
press and Wing orator prophesicd thai they would
produce wide spread bankruptcy and ruin. Tha.
they have mol done so, is apparent TO all. They
either then, have been productive OF good, and The
administration and Democratic party should re-
ceive all the praise; or they have been inert and
useless. and the Wing prophecies shameiully
false.
Congressional Elections are ye! 10 be held in
The following States, viz: Kentucky, Indiana,
Alabama, and Iowa, on the first Monday in Au-
gust; in North Carolina and Tennessee on the
Thursday following; in Maryland, October 9Th
and in Mississippi and Louisiana, Monday, No
yember Isl. The election in those States will
complete the members 10 the next Congress.
