Yankee Doodle.
I)onnpll'

Once upon time old Grover G..
Sent forth a great big below.
To stop the use of white mon-ee
And coin alone the yellow.
So Congress gathered nj his beck
And loud and long debated.
Till silver got ii lin the neck"
And Shylock's greed was stated.
Yankee Doodle did the job
Doodle there was handy,
Old Grover handled we'll his mob,
Congress was dandy.
But still the panic moved along
And got lis deadly work in.
Each pluiocrat was waxing fat.
While Congress kept on Shirkin';
Old Grover vetoed seigniorage,
Against the peoples wishin',
And having nothing more to DO
The old Gus went a-fishin'.
Bood ers soon will lose their job,
Though Doodle now is handy:
Old Grover cannot rule his mob,
Amt these times Il dandy!
O. how they feared the ''commonweal,
4 guilty conscience pricked them,
Just think how scared they would feel
If General CoXey licked them.
Perhaps for once Il good big scare
Might stir them up TO action.
And tide us through this desert bare
Until the next election.
BoodlerS will soon lose their job.
Though Doodle now is handy.
Old Grover cannot rule his mob,
Amt these times dandy!

THE OUTLOOK BETTER.

The Financial News today says that
crop reports are more favorable than
few weeks ago. There is every pros
pect of bountiful corn crop, which is
of chief importance to the railroads.
The injury to wheat is likely to be COM
pensated for by better prices. General
trade continues to improve, and there
is every prospect of brisk Fell trade
when the time arrives for its com
mencement. The iron trade, one OF
the best commercial barometers, is in
excellent condition; values rising and
orders increasing; in fact, before long
buyers will be compelled to rush1in
their orders if they wish to anticipate
higher prices. The great staples OF
trade are generally quiet but steady
In the interior stocks Of merchandise
are much reduced. In the East wages
are rising and industries daily becom-
ing more active. At the same time
money is plentiful and easy; while
credits are sound. Importers are pre-
pairing for large arrivals. but the pres
emit Hghtness of exports causes little
fear of gold shipments, as grain and
cotton bills will soon be available and
Europe is likely to be liberal pur.
chaser OF our investments. Under such
circumstances the tendency Of the stock
market should continue ~ move in an
inward direction; q point has beer
reached, however, when temporary re.
actions will be OF frequent occurrence
