with prosperity; but all these state
ments and prophecies have come to
naught The level of prices is not yet
found. There is shrinkage every
where, and no one can tell to-day what
the result is to be. Business interests
everywhere stand idle and without
hope. Capital is seeking place of in
vestment without encouragement; and
it may truly be said that the markets
are more uncertain than at any other
period in the history of our country.
Added to the present depressed condi-
ton of trade we have now the most ex-
tensive strike ever known in the
United States. The loss entailed by
this and the other strikes which
have preceded it within the past few
months must take from the common
people many hundred millions of dol
lars, besides destroying the industries
that were barely living in the hope OF
continuing until times might change
for the better. From Bradstreet and
