"TnHE is no reason. so far ms we can
see here. why the people OF the country
should not experience period Of I'M
usual prosperity, beginning with the
first Of the new year. SAID nm old linan-
cier Of the Treasury Department to the
Minneapolis Tribune's correspondent.
If have just been talking continued
he, with friend over at the Agricullu-
raj Department, and we reviewed the
condition of the crops throughout the
country and compared them with the
financial outlook, and we were both OF
the decided opinion that there will be
plenty Of food and money rs soon as the
crops begin to move. There has been
Il large harvest Of wheat and other
cereals, while the corn and stock will be
productive Of splendid results. The
farmers who are in debt should easily
relieve themselves by the results of their
summers work. Railroad traffic will be
splendid. The shops are starting up
everywhere, and mechanics and laborers
will receive good wages. Now, If Con-

with finance, tariff, etc, this season of
prosperity We are about entering into
should continue for Il long time, at least
until there is a succession Of failures In
crops. If were farmer | would not be
in hurry to sell my product unless |
were in debt. II Is my opinion that the
prices will continue to steadily advance,
so that very good interest will be
secured on the money in the produce.
You will see no more wheat sold at ~
cents, as was the case last year, and
hogs in the Central States will not come
down to those low figures of last season.
People will consume more stuff than
they have been consuming, because the
manufactures win be running at a high
velocity. The factories, you see, have
been closed, practically, for eighteen
months on account Of an oyersupply, but
they VIII run now at the highest speed

scquentiy raised by the knights Of La
Dor. the Laredo Times observes: "lt is

most reaching moderate license that
the knights Of Labor, and Kindred COM
munistic societies mr. tolerated; yet they
no not hesitate to strike at the freedom
Of the press, an institution that has done
more for the emancipation Of labor than
all the communists could have accom-
plshed in thousand ycars. This II the
consistency Of the labor cranks, the pro-
fessionals, who work Il deyilish sight
harder to keep away from work than In
any effort to earn honest bread. An
honest laborer Is a nobeman, whom all
should respect; but the oommunistio
