mckinley as being very favorable to the

Robinson, Cherry & Co.-..In our opinion

profitable"
q. Warfeld Simpson-"wtthout referring
TO the matter at large 1 am sure the re-
suit will be favorable. The republican
party has always done more for Washing

g. w Baker-''One of the best events
mat could have happened for the whole
country is the result of the election We
have felt the Improvement in our line al
ready The people deal more freely and
more largely. To my mind there is not
the shadow of a doubt 20 the benefit TO
be derived before long from McKinley's
election"
The Houghton Company-"The good re-
suits VIII be certain TO exceed even the
n
eral confidence will return and thus busi-
ress will become brisk in all departments"
thomas @. Hensey-"The first step in
the change now bound TO follow the result
OF the election will be the restoration OF
confidence, and therefore enterprise among
importers. which confidence has now been
lacking for four years. The scare among
them occurred I'm 1892 and originated from
the democratic party. Men are never
willing to take risks without a prospect
| or coming out safely. and the platform
was against them without any ground of
| hope for profitable foreign trade. Ccrse-
quently they withheld their usual ac-
| tivity the close of Mr.. Harrison's admin
istratlon was embarrassed for want OF
| revenue, so that he was almost compelled
| TO issue bonds, which afterward Mr. Cleve-
1 land had TO do. If we divide the amount
| of the bonds he has issued by four il will
| give about the annual falling off in foreign
trade and the revenue derived thcrefrom.
| Then came the revision Of the tariff under
| which, in single year. the receipts on the
two items alone OF hides and wheat
amounted to forty million dollars-hve mill
| lion dollars more than the estimated
| cefpts from the income tax If II had not
| been annulled by the Supreme Court. Then
| add to that all tie other items, and one
cannot wonder at the treasury embarrass-
| ments the country has suffered. The next
| step will be the starting into activity en-
| terprising men of small capital. This is
| the element which will bring good times.
Mere capitalists never take much risk, and
| on the other hand, aiventurers take all
risks. But the men 1 refer 20 will eau
| tiously take some risks. For instance, a
| man with a few thousand dollars will buy
| lot of ground and for the sake Of giving
| himself and others employment he viii
put up a building or several buildings on

others. And this extends actively to col

silver question, / Judge has little 10 do
with the matter. ! believe we may coni-

Walter Moreland-"I am glad of the re-

seems well satisfied with the result, and

Robert Bowdler-'Certainly l am we'll

| The result means A restoration of good
times and more money. There has been

| j. Hall Colegate-"Im a sound money

who had the nerve to vote against anarchy
and socialism, and every good citizen ought

Prosperity and good times for our country
are nov assured"
B. w. Gheen-"McKinley's election will
