Look Ahead.

It may not at present be manifest
ing itself in all places, but we truly
and really believe that the long
wished-for good time is coming.
The New York Times, of o late date
says: " In whatever direction we
may look now, an experienced OBJ
server may see signs of sure re-
cuperation of the business prosperity
of the country. Among the symp-
toms of improvement is the increas-
ing consumption of iron, always one
of the surest signs of large immigra-
ton" This is fruitful text for us,
and one upon which we may COM
ment with a good deal of profit. AS
nation, we are at peace with the
whole world, our public debt is rap
idly contracting, month by month;
our exports are largely exceeding
our imports, while the public credit
stands A on the great ledgers of
the worlds commerce. Without GO
ing any further, the good omens al
ready mentioned may be set down
as SO many reliable assets, most en-
viable in the eyes of many of the
bankrupt nations in other parts of
the world. It may he written as an
automatic truth, valuable for our fu-
ture reference and guidance that,
just so far as a nation grows less and
less dependent upon her neighbors
for Che great necessities of vital ex-
istence, in the truest sense of the
word, she is laying broad and deep,
the foundations of such national
independence as must endure, in all
human probability, to the end of
time. No business man of integrity
suffers The years to 60 and come,
without requiring his book-keeper to
draw up monthly balance-sheets,
showing exactly how, as merchant
tradesman or manufacturer, he stands
related to his debtors and creditors.
II this is done, in very deed, as
matter of state policy, our public
statistics make it possible for any
inquiring citizen to obtain, at pleas
ure, pretty clear exhibit of our ma
tional assets and liabilities. And it
is somewhat in this direction that We
have been led in our present obser-
vations, as to the financial and bust
ness prospects that are in store for
us, not only at large, but more es-
pecially as appertains to our own
Territory and domestic interests and
relations.
Washington Territory is compare
lively out of debt; she is child of
vigorous growth, and, judging from
the circumstances surrounding her
minority, there is every reason to
suppose that her admission as
State will sound the keynote of an
enviable and glorious career. There
is no harm in wishing for good things
even though we do not, as yet,
possess them, since good wishes
are akin to hope, and hope is the
grand motive-power of the world.
If it be true, that prosperous times
are in store for us, and that the
coming Spring and Summer will
duly inaugurate q radical change for
the better, then it may safely be pre-
dicted that an unprecedented i'm
migration will take place from Euro
| pc to the Atlantic coast and also
from the latter point to the Pacific
States and Territories.
