THE FORECAST.


Wenow occasionally see a bright
smile light up the countenalce OF II
speculative genius as n preface to
the remark "bnsiness seems TO be
Frightening up a little" In fact
there is an inc:ease OF cheerfulness
over the prospects OF this section.
There is a strengthening of faith
and a corresponding acceleration of
the forward movement, which, of
itself is something gained for the
well-being of the community. The
cause of this effect is not hard to
divine. For the last two years we
have been maintaining a labOrIng
element largely disprOpOrtionate to
the means for utilizing its capacity;
hence, during that period, we have
been saddled with comparatively
non productive labor. Not neces-
Sarily so, perhaps, but superinduced
by force OF peculiar circumstances.
Our laboring classes seem to have
acquired the habit of depending
solely upon capital to supply the
facilities for utilizing their labor,
aud when the clash Of the DeSmet
failure occurred hundreds found
themselves in an idle and helpless
condition, waiting tor employment.
In this condition they have remain.
ed until recently, their little sub
stance wasting away in the interval.
Within the last six months, howev-
er, there has been Il wedding out.
Many have left in search or employ
meut elsewhere, thus decreasing
the number OF idle consumers who
were necessarily drOnes in the IN
dustrial hive of productive forces.
Added to this is the realization of
the old dream OF the starting of the
DeSmet mills, which will give re.
m%unerative employment to Il large
number of hands, log and timber
getters and water craft and thus re
TO the financial beneftrof all
glasses.
So mnch for local capital and
.abor. But this is not all. There
seems to be Il gradual letting up OF
he financial depression all over the
country, and especially in the
which mast make itself felt
n every community, and this more
specially where there are tavOra-
Die circumstances of Il local nature.
ISN ms, therefore, not he discour.
