The Revival Of In d ustry

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA well known
Democrat residing here, who passes his
vacations in the iron regions of Penn
sylvania, has just returned from that
section.
He reports that year has wrought
wonderful changes in towns which
twelve months ago were filled with idle
and dissatisfied workmen. There is
now full employment for all who desire
it. Some of the largest mills, which
were established forty years ago, have
now more work than at any period
since they were erected. In some towns
they are running day and night a
thing they did not do even during the
war. The revival is not confined to the
iron interests, but extends to all other
industries. All classes are satisfied
and hopeful.
This gentleman reports that the gen
eral effect of this reviva! is the serious
disadvantage of his party, because
many Democrats among the quleter
farmers and business men are arguing
that i. will be poor policy to change a
State administration in the face of such
general promises of good times.
