It is some time time TO look ahead to the next

changes, such cannot he foteseen. The yery

Then the democratic majority in that body was

Secretary sherman's Success.

SECRETARY SHchhidh custcsS'
The success of Secretary Sherman's
plans for resumption is generally admit
ted. Nothing can prevent 1t except un-
friendly action of Congress. Mr.. sherman
himself is full of confidence, believing
that no action of Congress will interfere
to hinder resumption. In recent sere-
made speerh a, Cleveland, Ohio, he said
he believed the time was not tar off when
every man willing to work would receive
the full value of his labor. To the re-
mark made by some person in the crowd.

answered, Its slow, but it is sure"
This feeling of the Secretary is shared by
the people. and growing also. The Bos
ton Journal saws: The negotiation has
given all intelligent men the assurance
that specie resumption will take place

fact. the country has already come to Il
currency basis. Currency agitators do
not realize this fact. and fiat money al
heresies in the fall campaign, but their
efforts will prove abortve. They are too
late to do mischief The President will veto
any measure interfering with the carrying
out of the essentials OF the Resumption act
Congress may qualify the non-esSenialS
of the law. in order to conciia,e the OPP
position to it.
The confidence in the good faith of the
Government which the recent large sales
of low interest bonds surely indicates.
will doubtless extend to other Investment
and TO the industrial and commercial en-
ployments OF capital. The uncertainty
respecting the policy of the Government,
or the possibility of bringing the country
to q sound financial basis, has blocked the
way and kept business men in doubt.
Now that solid financial basis is assured.
and we have nearly all of the other con
ditions necessary for the revival OF bust
ness, there is good reason to look to the
immediate future with greater degree
of hopefulness than there has been any
room for since the panic. We have low
prices, low rents, cheap food, low wages,
cheap transportation, all of which are es-
sential to the employment of capital in
productive industry. All these conditions.
in connection with the positive assurance
that the business of the country will be
transacted upon that coin basis which puts
us upon an equality with the great nations
of Europe, are such as the country has
not had for many years. Years of weary
waiting, of failure and disaster, have pro-
duced despondency which has become
so all pervading that many refuse to be-
lieve in the approach of better things :;
but those who will carefully look at the
facts of the situation as they stand must
come to the conclusion that everything is
ready for the beginning OF better days
And no one agency has done more to
bring about this hopeful prospect than the
confidence which the certainty of a sound
currency has inspired"
