why Business Is Revivlng.


The reasons for the revival Of business
all over the country are apparent In the
first place. consumption has been going on
while production has stopped. Stocks have
been permitted to run down, until now
1rssss ii&S6setdrrsthut nrust svssur&sta'f
Tho ,reyiyA was bound TO come N the
course OF nature
The qulcltness of recovery Is due TO
American elasticity and vigor. II Is due
also to returning confidence and to n rea-
sonabe certainty concerning the future.
1t could not have come 10 soon syere 1t
not for the repeal OF the Sherman act. IL
has been helped, too. by the passage OF
the Wilson bill through the House by a
large majority. Manufacturers and mer-
chants are thus assured Of a moderate
tariff measure, and are able 10 place their
orders with some certainty as to the cost
OF goods.
Only one thing can prevent brisk and
profitable spring trade, and that Is undue
delay in the Senate.
