| was out in January and sid
nothing, but having a nice lot Of
S ruce lumber, which one year tgo
would have gone off quick at fpm
one to two dollars advance on pes
ent prices, | thought that just NV,
in the beginning of the season !
could surely sell at some sort o, a
price, but people tell me thai |
could not name Il price that would
tempt them to buy.
They ask me if | am related to
the chairman Of the committee 3 y

asked me when | gave him| nlylc3sS,,
If [ was the author of the WILSON,
bill, and not satisfied with that, he
introduced me to a gentleman who
came in as the author of the Wilson
bill. The fellow looked at me
and said, "well, if he is the author
of the Wilson bill | don't want to
shake hands hands with him"
People tell me everywhere that
they are not selling anythlng-that
they have stacks of lumber on hand a,
and that they don't want to put
any more money into lumber until
there is chance to get something
out of it.
| went to a large trunk factory at
Newark, where I sold two cars of
lumber last spring and the proprie-
tor said he could not buy anything
as business is too fiat. He said, Il
don't know what you are but this
Wilson bill is running the business
Of the country
[ said. Il would not suppose it
could effect your business as you
have no foreign competition"
"That is all very true said he,
Chunks are too bulky to ship from
any other country, but when PEG
pie are not earning anything they
have no money to buy trunks WITH
I have seldom heard much Nil
ties talked by business men It'll
recently, and l am surprised at he
unanimitY Of the sentiment agd list
the Wilson bill. There is hard Aa
man IN business, especially the IunN
Der business, that is not tall King

in business, and | see very fcws 10
expect any prOvement Il ltil there
is change Of administration. just
as quick as we get party in power
which will be true to the country
and its vast interests there will be
prosperity, but the country has no
confidence in the party at the helm
to-day.
That party demonstrated its hos
tilitY to the Government and the
interests Of the American people
when it tried to destroy the Union,
and for thirty years it was kept
under the ban, and now, after
thirty-two years of retirement it
signalizes its advent to power by
striking down the industries of the
country.
The people want change now
very much more than they did IN
'92, and just as quick as they get
the opportunity Mr.. Cleveland and
his party with its policy of lnfamy
and destruction will go into Sin
nocuous desuctude" to remain prob
ably thirty years longer or until
another generation of cranks and
doctrlnarlans grow up and mock at
reason and common sense ,,as they
did in the election of the horde Of
miserable incompetents who dis
grace and degrade the very name of
which every true American is so
justly proud-that of being an
American citizen.
1t is impossible to think of Ben
jamin Harrison, James G. Blaine
or any other of the great Republi-
can statesmen in comparison VIII
the miserable, dlsgraceful, con-
temptible conduct of Cleveland in
relation to his Hawaiian policy.
The very thought of it makes me
tired. W.
