The phantoms Of some future remarkable
prosperity. arc now fitting before u, as yet in
dcfnnb1e. Of doubtful source, and Of uncertain
sneces. but tue conviction is as strong rs truth,
that the coming season is to be one Of unparal-
lc1cd prosperity to the agricultural and mecliani-
cal interests. Ask any one to tell you why he
foundations Of his fuith any more than tue Luua.
bic peasant can explain his rcligi creed.
Some look at the volcanic condition Of political
Europe, aud believe that labor is to be turned
from its legitimate engagement to be employed
in the work of the battle field, which will result
in giving nctivity to labor on tlis continent in
the increased demand for brcadstuAEs for nom
producing European soldicry. Others inlagine
that the certain failure Of Pixies Peak gold
prospecting will turn Il current Of armed and
desperate alyenturers loose upon inbcclle
Northern Mexico, ending BY dragging our coun-
try into another war viii, people who are con-
.nualy called upon to give Indemnity for the
past and security for the future until all ol
their territory worth having is snugiy folded
under the protecting wing Of the American
Eagle, Already, this conviction Of War has
stimulated a great demand for productions to
be held at speculative prices, and the best
brands Of -four Of Iowa manufacture are selling
ut Il, and = for Illinois and Michigan best.
Farmers are turning over every available inch
Of soil in thc belief Of q splendid yield and sill
more splendid prices. Manufacturers have be-
gun TO cast of their languor and prick up the
cars of enterprise in view Of the anticipated re-
suits, and whether prosperity is to come from
the battIc-tields Of Europe or the gold fields OF
the West and Of Mexico, they care not 50 that
it comes,
One thing is rs true as the rule Of threc-a
ttneraI arar ia Europe arW setd millions Of Dol
ldry 10 fle Enihl Suits for iNrtstntnt and ST.
curity. The tinlid capitalists Of Europe have
little confidence il bonds Of broken-down aaG
bankrupt nlonarcAies, so long as the threatened
upheavings Of the people look 50 formidable;
aud, however much England may desire to re-
frain from IN active participation in the wars
few believe 1hut She can remain neutral. Ii
