The great strikes are looked upon with apprehen-
sion III financial circles here. Even If their dura-
tion be as BRIEF rs the most eanguine hope, they
cannot but have the worst effect On business. The
slow conralescence OF public confidence is get back
by this gigantic contest between the greatest cor
porations in the country aud their employees. The
loss upon per1shable freight will reach many thou
sands OF doars the loss in time will make another
heavy itom; the loss Of the labor Of thousands OF
men costs the country thas has to feed them
great deaf. at the came time that
the general fund is diminished BY their abstenton
from work, the stocks OF the roads involved will be
deprecated, and their holders made to suffer
heavily In every aspect, the present strikes asc
IN unfortunate occurrence In the present depressed
state OF business. Even II the conru1sion be re-
garded as necessary to the reimbursement OF the
labor OF the country in its relations to employment
and employees, it is to be regretted that less ex-
pensive means could not have been found. The
Strikes Will cost the country while they last, as
much, except In human life, as great war. In
truth, In the destruction and waste OF property
and disturbance Of industry great strike like this
one is war.

that no improvement could reasonably be expected
