One year ago the 18th inst. Il party
of ladies and gentlemen from this village
took dinner at Lake George. and they
enioved the occasion - thoroughly that
they resolved to meet there again this
year upon the anniversary of that meet
ing. Accordingly quite Il large number
had made their arrangements to make
the trip on Friday, but the state of the
weather deferred many from going, and

The Message "A Menace.

There is a slight improvement in
monetary affairs, but the situation Of
general trade is in Il deplorable condi-
ton and manufacturing Is growing
gradually worse. About all lines of
manufacturing are shortening up on
time or crew, and an Increased number
are shutting down definitely. The Pre-i-
dents message did not help the .itua-
ton so far as our industries are cou-
cerned. and there is abundant evidence
that it did positive injury In speaking
of this, Child's Wool Reporter says:
In the matter of the tariff, the threat
of radical change, formulated and dis
tnctly set forth in the Chicago plat
form. was so positively repeated that
our manufacturers are more than ever
disturbed. and their Encouragement is
decidedly intenser than ii WAS before the
message appeared. They had been in
duging in the vain hope that consider
ing the very critical state of the country.
and the obvious crying need Of II care
full handling of affairs, and the refrain
ing from any fresh disturbing cause,
the President would distinctly state
that while his own ideas on the question
of the tariff were unchanged. vet in view
of the gravity of the situation, he would
recommend an entire postponement of
the tariff question for "A year at least.
This certainly would have greatly re-
lieved the tension and started up many
mills. Now that they positively know
that Immediately the silver question is
settled. their Interests are To be attack

Bimetalsm founded upon intcrnation-

advocates. If this is impossible he sug-
gests free coinage of gold and silver on Il
change of ratio with the proviso that
whenever the bullion value of one metal
falls below that of the other. the coinage
of the cheaper metal is to be suspended.
But he thinks international action a
