One of the indisputable signs of
the renewed business prosperity of
the country is the increase of wages
in different sections, embracing
nearly all the States. Lists pub

247 distinct companies, firms or in.
dividual employers, and the number
of employees affected up to that

then further additions bring the
number of companies up to 278, and
the number of employees benefi: ed
up to about $4,000.

Element of the question was never

the same unsullied record of past
years-that is to say, we really did
not expect anything, and we got it;
and as compared with the undignitied
and persistent manner in which mem
bers from other counties insisted on
the recognition of their local meas
nres, the quiet and unobtrusive
methods of our delegation is very
marked. No matter how critical the
situation, they maintained the same
serene and undisturbed calm demean-
or, suggesting those quiet forces in
nature so still and yet so powerful;
and no matter what the verdict of
coming years may be in recalling the
acts OF the past session, none can ever
refer to our delegation as having
done anything to influence legislation
in any way.
