Worry is out of place when we
have decided what is our duty az to
the next step. Yet most of our wor-
ry is over the possible consequences
of steps we may have to take after
the next one. We see that il would
not be right for us to turn back from
cur present position, in view of prob
abilities in that direction, Yet we
cannot stand still. What shall we
do? II we must not turn back, and
we cannot stand still, we have a
clear duty to move forward single
step, leaving the consequences to-
the future. Worrying over what is
to be tomorrow, because there has
been failure to-day, does not bring
success. Nor does it necessarily fol
low because failure has crossed our
path to-day that it will meet US to-
morrow. Many of our people have
met with almost complete failure
in their berry crop. But let them
not suppose because failure has met
them here that failure is to meet
them in every thing. 1t is not so
much of an over-production as many
seem to believe, but it is rather an
under consumption. Thousands OF
men are unemployed and these are
the men who buy what the farmer
has to sell. But we are not to sup
pose because the thousands are out OF
employment they will forever remain
unemployed. The 59rd Congress is
at work, but making very little prog
ress, owing chiefly to antagonists
which it has to fight. These antago
nisms cause delay. and delay pro.
duces worry and unrest. But we
confidently believe the present tariff
Aght will soon be settled, and with
its settlement business will be reviv-
ed, and men now seeking employ
ment will be employed 1t is iInpos-
sible for US as people to stand still
or retrograde-we must so for
ward. We may remark, therefore,
to our readers who are worrying over
their present failure and fearing
failure is to meet them in the future,
it does not stand to reason that fail
ure is to meet you at every corner.
Business is now being revived and
with greater revival of business,
greater must be the demand for food.
Day is now dawning and in the near
future flood of light will break
upon US.

1t is well for us to remember that
we are American citizens and il there
are any people in the broad eXpanse
of our country who have q special
claim upon and who should especially

has passed almost entirely without

single one that we are Virginians and
Americans should be enough. Let
US celebrate.
