The iron and hardware merchants and
manufacturers speak in cheering terms of
the prospects for increased business. and
many OF them are already very busy.
Mr.. Arthur Is. Clark, president Of the
Old Dominion Iron and Nail-Works. said
Since the tariff bill has passed and Con-
gress adjourned the country has given a
sigh of relief, and Is disposed to settle
down TO business once more. The usual
fan demand for goods has set in, and
with good crops maturing and money to
be had at fair rates there is no reason
why the country, particularly the South,
should not resume It's life and activity
Some OF the railroads are preparing for
heavy tonnage Of freights by lettering
their roadbeds and repairing their rolling
stock, which had been allowed to run
down during the duh months. AS yet the
only advances in our line have been Oc-
casioned By the coal strikes in the West;
but as soon as matters settle down the
value Of iron and steel goods should
surely advance TO something proportion
ate 10 the values in Canada and abroad.

This country has had year or more
of sore financial and industrial depres-

that misfortune. On the contrary. it
has been even less unfortunate than

we have felt has prevailed throughout
the world, and we are fortunate in hav-

Thc man who bowls about business

dieting lis long continuance and BELT
Ting every advance that is made in

of our civiliDat ton. There are times
when such men can do immeaSurablo
harm, and under all circumstances
they must be more or less harmful I'M
til they are utterly overwhelmed by
the trust and energy of the American
people. The way to make them less
harmful is simply to spurn them and
their gloomy counsels, cast them aside
as common enemies and compel them
to go to the rear and fall in with the
procession that is now advancing to-
ward Il period of national prosperity
that promises to be one of the sound

1t IS not needful to refer again to the
taxed and burdened state OF the
French laDorer; but we certainly may
turn to Scandinavia. and inquire. with
some interest. how things are with the
hardy to.lers OF the north. The ma

tenure, which gives two or three days

of money rent. The peasant proprie

correct estimate, but one would not
be far out IN stating that money tor

mer, and third less in winter.
In Norway which Is land Of peas
ant proprietorship and of sturdy indie
pendencc, things run almost the same,
but In Denmark, where agricultural
depression has been powerful factor
of late, the remuneration of labor,
whether in money or in kind, Is on
less liberal scale. With them, dairy
farming is now the only paying
branch, aud this does not greatly en-
courage unskilled labor. If the cotter
has plot of ground, the value Of the

Islands, is but limited, though it tends

In the sunny south, perhaps Portu-
gal does as well for the unskilled men

incentive to do their best under other

easily pleased; gaud and show and bull

we have seen of late that an empty
stomach qulckens them up to face
bayonets and lead in sheer despcra-

days, and the end 1t not yet.
