It is mistake to suppose that the expedition

a people like the Jews. They had their own

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

w men New \ Ork takes Snuh
America sneezes s-commercially.
and, therefore, when you know how
much snuff is being taken here you
can guess quite cleverly how much
sneezing you are likely to undergo.
Gotham had the honor to inaugurate
the late hard times in the grand
Wall street crash of 1875. She was
the first to feel the quickeniug life
pulses of trade which all the coun-
try now sensibly feels; and close OBJ
servers of our national condition
have always been able to forecast
the general condition of trade
throughout the land by knowledge
Of the forces operating on Maahat'
tan Island. So when / tell you that
business of every legitimate kind is
better here to-day than at ahy time
since 1872, it means hope for all
throughout our fair land who have
been looking wearily and anxiouSIy
for the dawn of better days. Every
branch of industry here is in full
blast. Everybody reports an in
creased volume of business. Many
factories are running overtime and
almost everyone is running full. AL
most all products are bringing better
prices. Paper has advanced from
30 to 40 per cent. within four
mouths. Iron has gone up almost
100 per cent. and the prospect is
that even our immense deposits Of
iron ore will fall far short of supply
ing this years demand. Mining for
the sseful as we'll as the precious
metals is likely to get ar immense
impetus this year. An immense
amount OF building is going on, and
too Of a most substantial kind. Cap
ital is abundant and is cheaper than
at any time since 1860. Failures
are reduced to the minimum and
confidsnce-that much talked Of es-
sentia to prosperity-seems fully
restored. We are having the best
Of times here--snd this means that
your turn is quickly coming, if it
has not already. Now let the poll
ticians keep hands off This is pres
idOatial yesr, unfortunately, and
such are trsditionally bad for busi-
ness. If the men whose trade is
politics are able, they will plunge
the country this very year into a
maestrom of partisan strife that will
again disorganics business, unjoint
the hinges of trade, and work faith.
omless evil to every Legitimate inter-
est. Let the people resolutely y keep
at their own proper work, vote as
near right as they can regardless of
the shrieks of the "outs" or tho pro-
testations of the 'ias," and tiding
the country over this exciting year,
we will have entered upon a career
OF prosperity which, with all our
mighty resources just unfolding their
treasures, will eclipse any era of the
past, however bright.

REMARKS ON THE FUTURE OF BELLiNd-
HAM BAY.
Set. as per instructions, EXACTLY like copy.l
A mile or two. Just southwest from
Whatcom, there is the finest harbor
On the shores of Puget Sound;
Where ships can sail by scores,
Both in aud out with case
At any time.
We have the timber, and the coal,
with other rocks and clay, that
Bears famous name
BY men of skill.
All that we want Is men. that
lIave sound sense and money.
So they can dig the best OF coal,
And lay the keels of clipper ships.
Then place the corner stones of docks
And streets, and there will be the
Occidental city of the Sound.
I'm well aware that something Of
The sort will happen. just as sure
AS II | saw the men Mt work
Building ships. aud other structures,
The money and the men are on their way
To put the work In motion, see
Them coming, with flags OF truce in
Every hand, to meet tie hardy pioneers
That stood the test. and cleared
The track for thirty years.

And plants of beauty, that suits
Me better than oil the gold and silver
On the earth. I'm well aware that
Gold and silver nowadays Is
Needed rs regulator Of the times,
In other words the precious metal
Ia only fit for toys and trinkets,
Compared with trees and plants
That grow the best OF food, and
Other things that's good. for making
Clothing, and tor building ships
And Houses that we live In.
All round the shores Of Puget Sound,
The air Is pure and mild, with
Honey bees and butterflies at work
On flowers that's gay and have q
Pleasant odor, from March the flrsC
Until October.
You men Of courage In the east
Don be afraid, the dangers passed., the
Track is cleared, bring on your wives
And children here, and brave the
Bracing air that blows from snowy peaks
All through the year.

And smoke the pipe of peace with

T@ tho WOFkingEnon 1.

THE DEMOCRATIC speakers are stitfsn-
ing up the political spines Of their fol
lowers who work in the machine shops
and manu- factories of Wilmington, by
telling them to be independent to be
men, not to be slaves to hold up their
heads proudly !; to not cringe at the
feet of their employers, and much more
of such nonsense. The highest typs o
manhood is for man TO loo K to the inter-
ests Of his family. No blathering po
ii,ical speaker will influence q well
balanced intelligent workingman TO
vote himself ont Of employment, and
that is Just what he would do II he
votes in favor of free trade as laid down
Ia the Democratic platform. The Den !
ocrats say in their platform that they
are in favor Of "a tariff for reveuut
only" This means free trade, simple
pure and plainly told. This means nc
protection to American industries. This
mssns that England shall make our ma
chinery and Luild our ships. This
means that the workingmsn and me-
shanics Of Wilmington shall scatter in
to the country and till little lots or hire
themselves to farmers the year round
at eight dollars q month and board.
Or 1t means that they must work for
the same wages that are paid fer the
same. labor in England. The Republican
party platform declares for "a tariff
for revenue and for the protection Of
American industries" This sounds
something more cheering TO the work
ing men. II ssmeans q continuance Of
plenty Of work and good wages, just as
the workingmen now have. Do the
workingmen OF Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company the Pusey & Jones Company
the Jackson & Sharp Company the
Mccullough Iron Company, the Bdg,
Moore Iron Company and the large
number Of other Wilmington indus
tries want to vote for one third less
wages than they are now getting Il
30, all they have to do is to signify /!
by voting for free trade as set forth in
the Democratic platform. II they dc
not want to run the risk Of q change
they will vote agsinsta change, by Civ
