every description was deprecated to the
stardard of previous generation. the New
YOIk Evening Post presents pleasing con-
trast 10 the present condition Of thin.s. 1t
says:-'Douttless many are vet suffering
from the pinch If last year; but putting
their losses az the highest, the country has
gained more than it lost by the revuisi1n.--

ulating in Railroads and Mid lands with
their business capital; it has orened the eyes
of multitudes to the folly as we'll rs sin oil
Safeguarding; it has created healthy
suspicion of all corporate property not rnan-
aged by msu of probity and character; 1t has
relieved the country Of mountain OF debt
which was rising higher and higher"
