THE MONTHS BUSINESS.

From many points of view. the bust
ness month which closes today has been
remarkable.
1t has witnessed in all sections Of the
country growing distrust and anxiety
regarding the action OF congress to re-
lieve the strain now being put upon the
nations finances.
There has been almost panic in the
speculative markets and millions of fcti-
tious values have disappeared.
In the face of all these adverse cir
cumstances Rhode Islands factories
have been running on full time, every
| spindle and every loom active, in many
cases both day and night. Every lathe
and every tool in the machine shops
have been in use, and no trouble be-
tween employer and employe now exists
within the state. Everywhere there
has been constantly increasing business,
and everywhere there has been that
confidence in the future that comes
from a consciousness of prosperity.
This condition has been reflected in
the general business of the state. Never
before have the merchants had such
early demands for summer goods of all
kinds. The disposition to live from
hand TO mouth and to supply only i'm
mediate necessities seems to have given
way to disposition to anticipate wants
and TO provide for the future--a disposi-
ton which is in all cases based upon an
ability to pay with ready cash.
The stock market has been unusually
active and prices have risen and fallen
in few instances in way that sur
prised even the Wall street brokers.
The one quiet trade has been that of
building, aud its somewhat closely re-
lated business, that of real estate. The
cause is the unusual seasonableness of
the weather.

yearly and the $4,000 additional passen
gers are but drop in the. bucket
The direct and immediate prosperity
which this country will enjoy as the re-
suit of the fair can be easily overesti-
mated, and in the event of visit from
the cholera it will be practically moth
ing. But the benefit 10 be obtained
does not arise from this source, nor will
1t be immediate in its effects. There is
much sentiment in fair of this kind.
The patriotic emulation that IL inspires
ur gcs men to do their best. Ii brings
together the latest products of the
worlds genius, and the inferior see
their points of weakness 1t is the edu-
cational side of the exposition from
which will accrue the benefits. 1t
arouses men from the conservatism of
"let-well- -enough-alone" aud raises them
from the standard Of slavery to local
isms to the broad business views Of the
world.
These effects are not to be gained at
once. 1t will require years for the leaven
of such acquired intelligence to work
its way into practice and to induce cap
ital to become interested in progressive
ventures that such broadened views will
give rise to. The exposition at Phila-
delphia was not IA pecuniary success, yet
1t exceeded all previous efforts of the
world in its line.
Much of the wonderful progress of
the country can be traced TO the edu-
cative and broadening influence of the
Centennial" So the real effects of the
Columbian Fair will not be felt this
year, and those who are looking for a
boom may be disappointed but the
next ten years should be marked by un-
precedented progress.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-02-28
FAIR RESULTS.

So many entertain bright hopes Of the
splendid results of the Columbian Ex-
position that any suggestion looking to
other than those results may be received
by the public with some degree Of in
credulity.
Col. A. X. Anderson, who was one of
the original promoters of the big fair,
has made an estimate of some of the
pecuniary benefits which he believes
will accrue to the people of this coun.
try. OF the $3.50, 900, 600 annually spent
abroad by Americans he estimates that
two-thirds will remain at home.
Nearly all the civilized world
is TO take part in the naval
parade, and IL is perhaps not over
sanguine to expect that feeling Of ma.
tional pride aud desire to witness the
worlds progress will entice at least as
many European visitors TO this country
as annually leave this country 10 20 TO
Europe. and the rest of the world should
contribute as many. If their expendi-
lures are as great as Americans abroad
the estimated influx of money will be
$500, ,OO0, ,000-making in all Si00, ,000, 900
brought to this country as a result Of
the fair.
Granting that this estimate is correct,
divided among the whole people it is
equivalent to 50 for each inhabi tant-a
sum quite Insignificant when compared
with the enormous natural wealth, with
the regular annual internal commerce
OF the country, with the natural travel
OF our own people. The average ex-
penditure Of the foreign traveller is
about 800. At that rate the number Of
foreign visitors is estimated NJ 80. 900

Club in securing attractive quarters

the whole city.
A feeling the reverse of fraternal has
existed between the city newspapers.
They have delighted in nsgging each
other, and they have not infrequently
engaged in warfare of very bitter
character.
The Press Club seems to be the me-
dium through which better condition
may in time grow up.
The idea that the four daily papers
now fourishing in this city need to con-
slider their interests as clashing is absurd.
There is room and patronage enough
for all.
The News is the youngest. Il is the
baby. 1t ought to realize the limits of
the field if any of the quartet can. 1t
asserts that there is room for itself
without its treadirg upon the toes of it's
contemporaries, or allowing its con-
temporaries to tread upon its cornless
toes. So there must be room for the older
and bigger paper.
The city has entered upon an era of
unexampled prosperity and growth.
The newspapers ought all to clear the
way for the car of triumphant progress
and help boost il over the slougbs and
bog-holes. If they all put their several
shoulders to the wheel things will be
made to boom, to hum, to go.
The Press Club can do great work
in sweeping the cobwebs of moribund
back-country notions out of the editors
brains and filling the space with the
milk of fraternal kindness. II is sure
to do much in this line. If it brings
about condition that will allow united
effort for the city it will deserve canon
ization.

organ describes with exultation what
the colonel has accomplished for New
port. It states that he has put such
pressure on certain citizens ''as to de-
stroy what little brains they were
possessed of, some Of them becoming
inebriates and committing crime, all of
them trembling IN their boots all the
time wondering where he is to strike
next"
IL may be that the Newport people
enjoy this Nero-like amusement of the
aggressive and self-dcnying colonel, but
in Providence We fancy the chief of
| police would have him in handouts be-
fore he had progressed very far in his
crusade of destroying brains. If COL
Honey destroyed brains and did other
dreadful things when he was mayor,
we shudder TO contemplate what might
be the result if he became governor
What an excellent executive the self
denying colonel would make over peo-
pie upon whom he had exerted such a
pressure as to destroy their brains,
make them inebriates and criminals and
set them trembling in their boots.
With everybody except himself either
in the insane asylum, the Kelley insti-
tute or the state prison, he would be
free TO make n constitution to suit his
own self and party.
Ii is also fortunate for Col. Honey that
he has refused the crown, for it may be
that he will never get better chance
to decline it. He has displayed remark
able foresight in requesting to be ex-
cused from running up against Gov.
Brown and his business-like administra-
tion, and perhaps the battle-cry of the
Democratic party this spring is not pal
atable to the colonel. He may not rel
ish the task of stumping the state in be-
half of less work and more leisure for
convicts, although he should be able to
speak feelingly for brother law de-
fiers.
No, Col. Honey will wait until that
sweet by and by, when Blodgett is no
more. and when the voting lists of the
state are again overrun with the names
Of dead men, unnaturalized foreigners
and minors. Then he will lead free
and untrammeled public to new con-
and millennium.

Our Opening Of Spring
Dress Goods.

Our Grand Opening of Spring Dress
Goods last week was an immense sue
cess, despite the cold and stormy
weather.
The many who braved the elements
and visited our Third Floor Parlors,
| where the exhibit is made, were most
enthusiastic IN their praise of its incom-
parable value-the unsurpassed beauty
of the stock. the extreme novelty and
immense variety which characterized
the choice goods.
The latest modes in Velvets, Laces,
etc., represent the same high grade in
these productions and are long step in
advance of anything ever before shown
in this vicinity.
Our new dressmaking department,
ready to take orders on the spot from
our own exclusive goods, proved most
welcome to shoppers; and in every re-
spect the opening was an absolute salts
faction to our customers and to our
selves.
The great success of the occasion
following on the successes of our
weekly openings since January 1st On
dia Silks, Challis, Popular Dress Goods,
Ginghams, Laces, Muslin Underwear,
Linens, Cottons, etc., emphasizes and
endorses our promise made at the be-
ginning of the year that Ladd's should
outdo even its own high record as the
LEADING DRY GOODS HOUSE in
Southern New England.
The exhibit will be continued this
week in our beautiful Third Floor Par
lors.
